When installing a GPU inside of the North XL, there are two things you need to keep in mind. The GPU length and the GPU width. Below are visualizations from the manual, but there are some additional restrictions to think about below the images.




The first image above displays the maximum GPU length in the case with standard fans installed in the front on the opposite side of the front fan bracket, which is 413 mm. If you were to install a radiator in the front, you would have to reduce the maximum GPU length with the thickness of the radiator. If you, for example, would install a Celsius+ S36 Prisma in the front, which has a radiator thickness of 30 mm, your maximum GPU length would be (413 - 30) 383 mm.


Regarding the above, also note that if you install a Flex B-20 or a Flex 2 riser bracket for your GPU, you would also need to reduce the maximum GPU length by another 15 mm, as the bracket offsets the GPU slightly into the case.


The second image (only relevant for mesh version of the case) displays the two positions you can mount the side fan bracket in. The first position, "high", would allow a maximum GPU width of 192 mm, which is including connectors and cabling for it.

Position 2, "Low", would allow a maximum GPU width, including connectors and cabling, of 162 mm.


Regarding the above, also note that if you would install a radiator on the side fan bracket in the low position, the maximum GPU width would also be reduced by the thickness of the radiator.
