Fractal Design Ridge White (PCIe 4.0)
Fractal Design Ridge White (PCIe 4.0)
The Fractal Design Ridge with PCIe 4.0 computer case serves as a compact foundation for building powerful Mini ITX systems that don't require a large chassis. The manufacturer developed this 12.6-litre case in collaboration with gaming enthusiasts, with the goal of integrating it into living rooms and onto desks. Despite its slim dimensions, it can accommodate graphics cards up to 335mm long, shattering the myth that small computers mean low performance. Users get the chance to install full-fledged hardware into a chassis with a minimalist footprint and high variability, without having to compromise on their choice of graphics accelerator. The design offers maximum accessibility and efficient use of every centimetre of internal space.

Design and modularity
The chassis combines a steel base with a fabric-covered front and an aluminium frame, which gives the whole unit both strength and a distinctive look that sets it apart from ordinary cases. The modular concept offers a choice of vertical or horizontal orientation to suit your workspace or living room layout. All panels are easily removed, providing access to the interior from all sides and simplifying component installation in a confined space.
Heat dissipation system
The heat dissipation system uses perforations on all sides for natural airflow to hot components. The manufacturer has fitted two 140mm Aspect PWM fans in the side positions, which direct fresh air straight onto the graphics card. The package also includes a PCIe 4.0 riser card, which connects the graphics accelerator located in a separate chamber, away from the direct influence of heat from the processor.
Internal space and connectivity
The internal space accommodates SFX and SFX-L power supplies, while four 2.5-inch drive bays are provided for data storage. The front panel includes modern interfaces, including one USB Type-C port and two USB 3.0 connectors for fast data transfer. The CPU cooler height limit is 70mm, so a low-profile air cooler is a suitable choice.
