All external panels are removable for easy access, and multiple feet configurations allow Ridge to be placed horizontally like a console under a TV, or vertically as a slim tower on a desk. The front I/O provides USB‑C 20 Gbps, dual USB 3.0 and a combo audio jack, while the side panel supports up to 2x 120/140 mm fans or a 240/280 mm radiator to keep modern GPUs cool. Two Fractal Aspect 14 PWM 140 mm fans come pre‑installed for balanced airflow out of the box.[web:1044][web:1046][web:1051]

This PCIe 4.0 version (SKU FD‑C‑RID1N‑11) ships with Fractal’s updated 4.0 riser card designed for full‑speed PCIe Gen 4 graphics, with backward compatibility to PCIe 3.0. For best stability on PCIe 5.0 platforms, Fractal recommends forcing the primary PCIe slot to Gen 4 in BIOS.[web:1044][web:1049]
