Clean design and included fans

The Fractal Design Epoch Black is an ATX mid-tower case built from steel with a tempered glass side panel. It supports ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards and ships with three pre-installed Momentum 12 fans at the front. The mesh front and ventilated top panels promote natural airflow for high-performance components. Tool-free removal of the side, front, and top panels simplifies access during the build.

GPU clearance with fans or radiator

The case accepts graphics cards up to 372 mm long when the front fans remain mounted. Installing a front-mounted radiator reduces the maximum GPU length to 345 mm. This distinction helps builders plan their cooling strategy without sacrificing graphics performance. The interior layout is designed to keep cable routing tidy while accommodating long cards.

Radiator and drive limits

A front radiator up to 360 mm or a top radiator up to 240 mm can be fitted, while the rear supports a 120 mm unit. CPU air coolers up to 170 mm in height are compatible. Storage options include three internal 3.5-inch bays and two 2.5-inch bays. Power supply length is limited to 255 mm with one drive tray installed or 155 mm with two trays.

Questions about this item

Will a 372 mm graphics card fit with the three included 120 mm front fans installed?

Yes, the case supports GPUs up to 372 mm when front fans are mounted, and three Momentum 12 fans come pre-installed at the front.

How do I remove the front panel to clean the dust filter, and what step is often missed?

Pull the front panel straight off — it is tool-less — but remember to unclip the fan cables from the hub before setting the panel aside.

When should I expect to replace the three included Momentum 12 fans?

The fans use true fluid-dynamic bearings rated for long life; typical replacement is only needed if noise increases or RPM drops noticeably after several years.
