@@Razumen black is not considered a colour in terms of light. It represents the absence of light. When there is no light (colour), we perceive black. But if we speak about pigments... It would be kinda a colour.
I just wish they'd make improved Define 8. Keep the HDD mounting system from 7 but remove the stupid PSU shroud and bring back moduvents from R5 with side fan slot. And make 5.25" bay modular so it can be put either on top or bottom. Thus making it possible to install big rad on top while still having optical drive.
Fractal is quickly becoming the best case maker out there. The Ridge is amazing, I have the North and I love it, and this Terra is fantastic. Banger after banger. Hope they keep the streak going!
Fractal was killing it with the Node 304 more than a decade ago, and it's still one of the best mini ITX cases in existence. It won't fit a 4090, it's not the smallest, but it'll fit a 2 slot GPU and a 140mm exhaust and even a full sized PSU if your GPU is short enough, along with at least 4-6 drives, a full height CPU cooler, and has mesh intakes that keeps the dust out. And built like a tank. With room to tuck cables. The main benefit though is it's wider than it is tall, so no chance of accidentally knocking it over. It's also one of the best minimalistic cases, that can just sit on a desk and not offend the eye. It's a design you don't get bored of because of how neutral it is, so it doesn't suffer from changing trends. And the top of the case can still be used as desk space. You can put it right on the back corner edge of a desk and not have to worry about it being knocked off, which allows better use of the rest of the desk space. The only downside today is that GPU's have gotten soo big, you're not putting anything bigger than a 4070 in it. I've been running my CPU's max overclocked on air 24/7. Basically it's a case for if you don't want to compromise on heatsink size or cooling or drive space and have all the benefits of a full sized tower in a smaller package. And it's also a pretty silent case, the case itself dampens noise because it's not full of slits everywhere, so silent fans are even more silent. Even a 140mm AIO cooler would be more silent than normal. You'll still get dust build up on fans over time, but pretty much nowhere else, so once in a while you just clean the meshes and wipe down the fans and blow a bit of air here and there to get the dust out. Much easier to clean than other cases. No dust caking up on motherboard components.
This looks great. I built my first PC in the Fractal Ridge a few months ago and now I'm a huge Fractal fan. They made it so easy to build in and the manual was spot on. Also the Ridge is my baby and dream PC, keeping it for hopefully 10+ years.
You can use an ID-Cooling IS-47-XT, Apenfohn Black Ridge, or Thermalright AXP90-X47 in max GPU mode assuming your motherboard and RAM are compatible. They should provide better cooling vs an L9a/L9i and the ID-Cooling and Thermalright are cheaper as well.
Its basically a less expensive and more mass market version of the Formd T1, but without the options for a 240mm AIO radiator or dual fan exhaust on the top. I do like how inexpensive and accessible the Fractal Design is, but if one is willing to drop the extra cash and maybe wait on availability then there's no doubt in my mind that the T1 is the better case. The T1 has insanely good thermal design for something just under 10L.
2:55 Oh boy, not a man of culture I see... (Gullwing doors were not a Tesla thing at all, and these panels resemble original gullwing doors like on the classic 300 SL, or if you are not into cars, a Delorian.
I just got this case last week and I did try the same cooler he used in this video but the tempts were really bad even with a 5600x. I swapped it out today for the Noctua NH-L9x65 and things are much better. One other thing, I almost never use the badges or stickers that come with my computer components, but I could not help putting the brown Noctua owl badge that came with the cooler. Goes really well with the green and wood accents.
i think a 7600 or 7700 65w cpu would be a better choise for this form factor in therms of temps. even with a 5600x limited to 65 watt you dont loose performance ( somthing in the 2% range )
I just built my girlfriend’s PC a few days ago in this case. I found it to be more air cooling focused. The adjustable spine really is innovative and allowed me to fit a Noctua NH-L12 ghost, which is very impressive.
Surprised you were even able to get it a couple days ago, it was announced like a week ago! Did you need the Ghost version because of RAM height? Do you think you could have done the non-ghost NH-L12S if you got short-height RAM sticks?
@@dtemp132 Yeah if you had low-profile RAM you could use the standard NH-L12S without issue. If you have anything taller or any RGB you'd need to use the ghost.
Higher power delivery on the front panel USB-C would either require a new standard to be implemented on motherboards, a daughter card (not likely on this form factor) or some kind of box with cables to both the front connector and the power supply.
No! Recognition of Gullwing doors does not make someone a "Tesla Nerd"! They did not invest Gullwing doors, they first appeared on the 1952 Mercedes Benz 300SL as a practical decision as the side sills of the car came up so high that a typical front hinged door would have been almost impossible. With the exception ofbthe Model Y, the most recent car they appeared on was the Mercedes Benz SLS AMG in production from 2010-2015. Do not credit another invention that has been around for decades to Elon Musk, that shit happens enough.
I know this might be too late, but the SSUPD never made it to LTT channels despite being probably the best designed SFF case. 14L and only slightly more expensive than 18L NR200
No joke, I currently have a Fractal Ridge "console" in the living room, a Fractal North as my work+gaming PC and just ordered a Fractal Terra for my stepdaughter and will help her build her second PC in it. By the way, I used the walnut CPU block and water cooling fittings from EKWB in the North because I f*cking love wood accents.
Nice video, the only thing I have to add: Gullwing doors is not a Tesla feature, it was first on the Mercedes Benz 300 SL in 1952 and have been used by various manufacturers since
the lack of dust filters the only reason i haven't bought one of these cases, yes you can buy separately, but i can also buy a case where the dust filters are included
You could probably find that thin filter screening in sheets and cut out your own filters. Wouldn't initially be removable and easy to clean, but it might help. And if you can find it in black, that would look sick as an underlay on the green.
Newegg finally got the black one back in stock today and I ordered it. Its such a good looking case. I'm swapping my 2nd pc with a 12600k+4070 Founders Edition and putting it in this case. Ill probably put a couple thin fans on the bottom to help cool my FE 4070. Gonna look so good with My Magnus Pro XL desk. I can't wait
14:35 Fractal has foam fan duct kit for this CPU cooler, you can stack them against the outer wall, so it pulls only cold air from outside. No need for another case fan
wish that companys would consider watercooling way more in cases like this. Only one i got so far is my Streacom DA6. 3090 and 5800x with a 2x 240 Rad combo.

Can we get some propper temperature comparisons between this and normal PC cases? Im always interested in these but how much will they hurt performance when gaming long session or are they louder?
One thing I will say is I don't recommend facing the PSU fan to the back of the GPU, It doesn't really make a difference for the GPU and it just puts unnecessary strain on the PSU... Instead, avoid flow-through style cards if you can or try to create an air gap between the GPU and PSU and have a fan that helps direct air out
@2:56 Actually "Gull-wing Door" was initially pioneered and used by Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, first as a race car in 1952 (W194), and then as a production sports car in 1954.
10:29 "I trust nothing, I trust no one, I hate this world" It passes the SFF test, it some point in the build you got to have some loathing, either for the world or yourself for going with a good looking but complicated build.
The open slats are kinda a deal breaker if you have any animals at all, hope they come out with magnetic dust filters that are fit for the openings, maybe a slightly more expensive version with them included too.
Yeah it really needs dust filters. I wouldn't ever run a case without them, because it's just soo much easier to rinse off the dust filters and put them back on. Although I think you can easily make your own, especially if you have a 3D printer. Although it should be included at this price point.
@@peoplez129Especially with how many tiny nooks and crannies there are in such a compact case, I'd imagine even with a dusting every month or so there'd still be areas that get so caked you can't easily clean it. The price is actually pretty low for an SFF case though, many around this size are $250+ and very limited supply, mostly due to the R&D it takes to cram components so tight together and many of the companies making them are far smaller than Fractal is.
I got my Terra on Thur and so far I am really liking the case. Was not expecting something like this from Fractal, if I didn't know who made it I would think it was a boutique SFF case. When you were first trying to remove the side panels I was like STOP and please read the manual.
when i build mine im Gunna get 2 USB fans screwed in on the top plate plugged into a USB hub and then in the USB slot in the back of the motherboard that'll hopefully help with cooling. fingers crossed. i think you'd get a better gap on cooling if u put 2 fans directly underneath the case pushing up rather than trying to put the fan inside on the bottom.
would love to see just some general thermal test at the end of the video. not even send to labs, just boot up some games and see what kind of temps you get. other than that great vid!
I love there is a new SFF contender in 2023 finally! I was worried that giant GPU's were the death knell for SFF but thank you for highlighting this awesome case.
I'd like a small case like that but the problem is mobos by itself dont have enough USB ports and in bigger cases you just drop in a pcie USB card, here you can't, and external USB hubs are almost always crap and cause issues.
I want that Jade Terra. Do they still come with crappy screws which nobody even bother to mention? I know my North has the crappiest and spray painted knurled thumb screws. Still love how the North’s look tho.
I like the idea of small form factor cases I just don't think this is the one for me. I will gladly take something a bit bigger to be able to support and cool the latest hardware. if this case was 12 L and they used that extra space for more cooler and GPU compatibility I would have been more OK with it. As it is you need to compromise on the CPU or GPU or both as it currently is.
Wonder with no additional fans aside from gpu fans, cpu fans, psu fans. How does it perform thermal wise and whether it would get throttled if the ambient temp is too high? My room got to 37 degree celcius in summer
If your room is getting that hot I'd concern myself more with cooling your room so you don't die of heat stroke rather than worrying about how hot your computer is getting lol. How would you even game in those sorts of temperatures? Your mouse would be drenched in sweat.
@@Pyroteq i would have fans to reduce the heat for myself. Due to my sensitive nose, I could not use AC especially when it required sealed room. My room is open space with well ventilation (and dust ofc :'(). It's just that during summer the weather would be hot and bring ambient temp to around 34-37C. Last time it peak at 40C for around 2h :'(
Get a Dancase A4h2O instead, that allows for a liquid cooler. It even fits a MSI Ventus RTX 4090. If you want a really high end SFF PC that case is awesome!
...Of all the colors to chose when they make a case with some actual color to it, they chose *70s* *green?* Bold, I suppose. Also, thanks for specifying the USB type and not just giving the speed. That's actually really useful, especially for situations like this where the front IO is going to be really important.
It would be cool if you could add some feet on the cpu panel side. So it could lay over like a console and you could mount the bottom fans on the outside or whatever
I normally don't care for this kind of content, building stuff, but Adam does a great job. Keeps it interesting enough. I'm just chilling doing some work on the side and this was enjoyable enough for me to listen and periodically glance at, so I get some new info on a unique case. I like to stay reasonably on top of different PC trends.
This looks like something you can put in a bookshelf near a plant
Yes good idea 😮👍
Plant = American Republican voter.
Perfect for Noctua fans.
I love it
that plant would caught on fire if the 4090 kicks in 😅
"The best thing about green is that it's a color"

I mean, to be fair, most other cases are either white or black. And those are not colors.

Fractal is absolutely killing it with these new designs. 🔥
fractal is rapidly becoming my favorite case company. they have nas cases, regular cases, and smol cases, what more could a man want?
Yeah, got a North in late december, and it's fantastic. It's a piece of furniture and not an RGB spaceship for teens.
I have the north and somehow I am still looking for a way to justify another fractal case. That says something.
price is unfortunately based on lack of competition in the segment. They just need to undercut Dan case, a challenge only for Apple

My room is open space with well ventilation (and dust ofc :'(). It's just that during summer the weather would be hot and bring ambient temp to around 34-37C. Last time it peak at 40C for around 2h :'(
That green is so god damn good looking.
Whats about the temperature? We need to see a review of that
The Halo GPU actually looks BALLIN in that thing
Get a Dancase A4h2O instead, that allows for a liquid cooler. It even fits a MSI Ventus RTX 4090. If you want a really high end SFF PC that case is awesome!
Fractal is the only mainstream company I’d buy from. Still rocking my SSUPD meshlicious.
Now i wait for the chosen one youtube channel that will do a liquid cooled loop on this case
i absolutely love the shade of green
I wanted to see benchmarks with that cooler
This would look great with my wooden wrist rest and guitars. I may need to upgrade from my metalicgear case
...Of all the colors to chose when they make a case with some actual color to it, they chose *70s* *green?* Bold, I suppose.
Also, thanks for specifying the USB type and not just giving the speed. That's actually really useful, especially for situations like this where the front IO is going to be really important.
Did your am4 itx board have a usb c header?
2:00 Wouldn't that be a motherboard feature instead of a case feature?
Oh wow you just unboxed the case it looks to have incredible air flow wich is a staple of fractal cases
The L12S fits with a 2.5 slot GPU. NICE!
Doesn’t a dust filter not take up enough room to justify leaving it out?
Not that hard to DIY it if you're that worried about it
You can debate how useful they are. You'll have to clean your hardware anyway, so why not have better thermals
I don't think that fan was meant to cool a 5800x3D 😅 Might have wanted to go for the Noctua NH-L12S
How does this keep the dust out?? All those cutouts with no filters seem like a dust nightmare
It looks like a great case but it is a bummer that it doesnt fit a 240mm rad
Those videos always make me remember why i have a big tower
Why havent yall reviewed the meshroom S? Full atx mobo support and its barely bigger!
It would be cool if you could add some feet on the cpu panel side. So it could lay over like a console and you could mount the bottom fans on the outside or whatever
Awesome looking case, now let's see Alex and Tynan turn it into the toaster it was designed to be.
That color is just perfect
Finally some living room console size itx cases
I normally don't care for this kind of content, building stuff, but Adam does a great job. Keeps it interesting enough. I'm just chilling doing some work on the side and this was enjoyable enough for me to listen and periodically glance at, so I get some new info on a unique case. I like to stay reasonably on top of different PC trends.
