Fractal Design Ridge

Yes, the Ridge comes with a PCIe 4.0 riser cable included in the box, which is essential for connecting graphics cards horizontally in this compact layout. This means you won't need to purchase a separate cable to install your GPU.

The case supports CPU coolers up to 160mm in height, allowing for substantial air coolers like the Noctua NH-D15. However, since the motherboard is rotated, cooler width must also be considered to avoid blocking the airflow.

Yes, the Ridge is designed to be placed either vertically or horizontally, much like a gaming console. It comes with interchangeable aluminum feet that allow you to orient it safely to fit your entertainment center or desktop setup.

This case requires an SFX or SFX-L form factor power supply due to its small footprint. Standard ATX power supplies will not fit, so you will need a compact unit from brands like Corsair or Seasonic.
