Fractal Design Epoch XL Black Solid
Fractal Design Epoch XL Black Solid PC case
The Fractal Design Epoch XL Black Solid extends the clean, modern design of the Epoch series into a more spacious form factor for high-end gaming and workstation builds. Three pre-installed 140mm Momentum fans with LCP blades and fluid dynamic bearings ensure efficient, quiet cooling. With room for graphics cards up to 425mm long and CPU coolers up to 176mm high, it can house even the most powerful components available today. Support for up to 360mm radiators at the front and top prepares the case for water cooling. Refined details like a laser-etched aluminium plaque, a fabric pull tab, and finely patterned mesh give the case a premium look, while the well-thought-out interior with cable grommets makes for a clean and tidy build.

Powerful fans are included with the case
The Fractal Design PC case comes equipped with three pre-installed 140mm Momentum 14 fans, which combine liquid crystal polymer (LCP) blades with true fluid dynamic bearings (FDB). This design ensures excellent airflow with minimal noise and a long, maintenance-free lifespan. The Fractal Design Epoch XL Black Solid offers top-tier cooling right out of the box, with no need to buy extra fans.

High-performance components need effective cooling, which is why the Fractal Design Epoch XL case is designed with an emphasis on natural airflow. Breathable mesh panels at the front and top let fresh air flow in freely and warm air out. The cleanly organised interior, free of unnecessary obstructions, promotes efficient circulation and keeps processors and graphics cards at safe temperatures, even under prolonged load.
Ready for demanding gaming
The Fractal Design Epoch XL Black Solid accommodates graphics cards up to 425mm long when using the front fans, or 395mm with a front radiator installed. There's enough space for even the longest high-end graphics cards like the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 or AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX. Seven expansion slots provide flexibility for multi-card configurations or expansion cards for streaming and video capture.
Water cooling compatibility
For even more effective heat dissipation, the case supports radiators up to 360mm on both the front and top panels. Air-cooled CPU coolers can be up to 176mm high, which accommodates large tower coolers like the Noctua NH-D15 or be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4.
