Fractal is killing it with case design recently. Was never really a fan of the meshifies, but the North and Terra are beautiful. I just went with the Ridge for the htpc look, but if I wasn't trying to go that route, I'd definitely go with a Terra or North.
Hi Everyone! I noticed some understandable confusion regarding the PSU orientation and wanted to provide some additional info, as typically you would face the PSU fan out. The idea of facing it inward is to intake the hot air expelled from the blower-style cooler on the FE graphics card and exhaust it out the top of the case. This orientation option is provided in the Fractal Terra’s user manual provided with the case. It even has been brought up as a viable option by multiple well-established and highly credible TH-cam channels (assuming you use a high-quality power supply), so I wanted to try it myself. (See Page 38: www.fractal-design.com/app/uploads/2023/05/Terra-manual-V1.2.pdf) For some additional context, Fractal also includes 2 sets of PSU bracket standoffs (10mm and 6.5mm) to create more space between the graphics card and the PSU. The configuration in my video can only fit the shorter 6.5mm standoffs. After a few comments stating concerns, I decided to test the GPU thermals on both orientations (the PSU fan facing in v. out) and found that the GPU thermals increased by an average of 8-10ºC across the games I tested with the fan facing OUT. Of course, if you are planning to build in this case, the option is 100% yours on how you want to orient the PSU when using a FE card. Or if this is all weird and confusing, I would recommend not using a blower-style FE card and orient the PSU fan toward the outside of the case.
I noticed that you never show where you plug in the PSU cable for the GPU, which was linked on amazon. Is this the correct cable? I ordered all the same parts, and I do not have a cable to plug my gpu into the psu at all.
If your case only has a power switch, with no LEDs or reset switch, that Gigabyte board has a power button header right next to the USB 3.0 header, so you can skip the front panel addin card. assuming you're also not using SATA.
Dude, I've never been an rgb guy but those rams look incredible when the case is closed, and that cable management holy I wish you showed us how you did it.
The only major update that Fractal needs to do is put inside, is a removable dust screen. Those slots allow way too much dust in. Other wise it’s a nice H/O pc.
Hey Nightwatch, Michiel here, the developer of IceCube Adventures. Nice to read you really liked our game. I was inspired by the zelda kind of story driven gameplay and temples with keys and ability keys, and the single touch gameplay was inspired by a demo of my internship leader. I asked his permission to use the concept and thought of how an IceCube is always sliperry so it makes sense it moves by itself. The music is made by Dylan Groot and the soundfx by Arjen Schut. I May have some artwork on a disk.. Yet a playable game isn't possible anymore because it was compiled for an old ios version. Yet I may have a Adobe flash demo somewhere... Anyway always nice to read our game made someones life a bit more rich. :) Cheers, Michiel
The CPU fan is kinda blowing into a closed space with all that MB heatsink and RAM serving like walls. It may help the CPU temp if you can reverse the fan direction, or somehow rotate the fin orientation of the CPU heatsink. Just my 2 cents.
That CPU is going to cook with all of the heat sink exists blocked by those huge mobo heat sinks haha. Especially in a sandwich layout case where you want air coming in through the sides and leaving through the top and bottom of the case
Fractal support is AWESOME. AWESOME. My case came with a defective part and they dont sell it in the US. They sent me directions to send them a shipping label and they are shipping me the part at no cost. Even though my case is out of warranty. I think the part is about $ 50 us dollars and the label cost 11 dollars. I was BLOWN THE F AWAY by the speed of response, the decency and focus on customer support. Fractal they go to ELEVEN.
Bro! You just helped Fractal get another customer for this case. I was concerned about the cpu temps buty I will be using an non-X AMD cpu for my build. Thanks for the video!!!
I have a graphite Terra too and so far I am loving the case. Your build looks really good and I agree with you about the bottom panel, would have been nice if I could have easily removed it. When the 3080 FE released I saw numerous people with the Dan A4-SFX rotate their PSU in order to exhaust the back fan on the FE, many of them started to experience problems with system stability so keep an eye on yours.
Hey, Nice video, easily one of the most enjoyable fractal terra reviews. I wish you covered acoustics with case closed. Can you tell us what CPU fan noise looks like?
My advice for that want this case. Get a small Corsair 750 sffpc PSU. I have the sffpc ASUS PSU Loki which is bigger and I could not fit a small 120mm fan at the bottom. You really want the fan because how hot it can be. L9i cpu cooler kinda stinks for 13600k. It gets too hot even with undervolting. Get low profile ram and a bigger cpu cooler.
Looks great have 3080Ti and probably get 7700 65 wat Amd cpu. Same ram without rgb. Still thinking black or silver for the case hmmmmmm. Bought black £158 with free postage not bad.
Would actually not use the 7700x but rather then 7800x3D (looking past price differences) as it's actually easier to cool for gaming loads with a low profile cooler, due to how the chip layout is under the heatspreader.
There's enough intake from the GPU and CPU coolers. More importantly, having the bottom fan as exhaust allows for the flow-through design of the GPU to dump the hot air immediately.
Why was the most important thing not said? For example: 1. There is throttling under intense load.2. What is the temperature of the processor under load, intensive gaming for instance?
Considering he did a pea-sized application and then showed the thermals under max load being well within operating temps, I don't see the point of this comment. All you accomplish with manually spreading is the far greater chance of getting trapped air bubbles. The heatsink will force all air pockets out on its own.
I’m absolutely getting this case in Black! I’ve been watching lots of videos to see if I can figure out how to water cool it. I’ll figure out some way to shove a slim 240 rad in there somewhere.
Beautiful build. Did a compact ATX build for my 7800X3D/4080 Super PC, but considering doing a ITX build for fun next year. I also would like to see a XL version of the Terra whether it's matx or itx.
Just checked my GPU lenght and it is 323mm (msi gaming trio 3090), and this case supports 322mm, cmon! it's too close, does anyone know if the 322mm they specify is a safe bet, but you can squeeze ONE more mm?
I personally hate the beige and brown Noctua fans. I think the all black ones would look better or the Be Quiet LP cooler but still think it's an excellent build and one of the cases I've been looking at.
Case is too short for a 4070 Ti or 4080, same issue with the Ridge case, while it can fit a 4070 no issue, I couldn't put my Gigabyte 4070 Ti Gaming OC in, just a tad too short. Would be a perfect case if it can fit a 350mm long card
Loving this build! 1 change I would like however, is to use an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, which your fan does not support. If that's the case, which fan would you recommend for this build?
About a $1000-$1300 build with using Am4 motherboard and ram, cheaper lower end ryzen 5, a rtx 2060 or 2070, plus gotta get windows installed. That’s what I was able to come up with so far. Pretty expensive for that small case. I’m sure it can be built cheaper but idk
Great build. I was holding out hope for some one to do a more conservative one. The selection of components is superb. I had hoped you give up some more thermal profiles but your games review told a big story anyway. My only change may have been only to go with a more value proposition GPU like the Intel A770. But that's just me. I am on a fixed income. Gotta say I like your style and taste and have subscribed. Keep up with product reviews. Any ideas on flat panel monitors ?
Which set of standoffs did you use for this build? And would there be any benefit of using the fan at the bottom for exhaust with a founders edition card? Clean build!
Hey Devyn! Do you still agree that having the PSU backwards is the best bet? I’m considering doing the same for my ghost s1 with a Metacustoms spine to help get rid of hot air from the gpu. Just wanna make sure this won’t make my temps worse.
I need a pc, ive never had one and want to build one myself, so i was wondering if i NEED evrything else you show us after you take the terra case out of the box, please let me know.
Another builder (Matt Lee) showed thermals hovering around 60C on CPU while gaming on an i5 13600K... that was good enough for me to purchase this to use with an i7 and a slightly better cooler than he used.
awesome video ❤. need a quick suggestion. i have a 3090 24g in my main pc.i want to build a mini itx (fractal tera) which card i should go with. put my 3090 in mini itx or 4090/3080(intend to buy). thanks inadvance.
Would be amazing if when you do these builds you showcase an AMD/Radeon build, and an Intel/Nvidia build.... or at least give alternative listings of what would work. Otherwise, great video thank you.
I just bought this motherboard and case. I have everything plugged in right except the 1 front panel connector. Where the hell does it go? I tried the power switch spot in the dongle but no luck. The psu is getting power but nothing turns on at all. Please help
Do you think that noctua cpu cooler could manage the 7800x3d? I'm interested in building a sff case, but I just don't want to sacrifice any performance whatsoever.
Thanks for covering this case. I’ve been looking for more builds on it. Subscribed! I’m only subbed to two custom PC channels, and you’re one of them! Do you think a larger CPU cooler could fit in here somehow even with the 4080?
Sorry for such a late reply, but no. A different motherboard is required. The noctua website unfortunately doesn't count the low clearance mode of the lh12 when telling you its compatible.@KLOKIZ
I would be interested in how loud this is. Could yo make a more in depth review of temps and noise? As a HTPC, connected to the TV, I need this to be quiet. Also what is the maximum size for the Graphicscard? Will a 3-3.5 Slot design still work?
thanks for the vid! Currently building this exact same build and I have two questions. 1: where did you plug in the 120mm Noctua fan? 2: which input does the "POWER SW" cable on the Terra go into on the motherboard adapter?
I just want to tell you that I love your videos!, and I am currently building this for my girlfriend (she loves fortnite and hogwarts legacy) with the same case, same CPU, ram ,and psu. but instead of the 4080 FE, I'm using the 4070 Super FE. I still haven't get the CPU cooler,
You kill it again! both bautiful and impressive, thanks for sharing, love you builds!, 2 minor questions: 1- Did the 12 volt high power cable for the GPU come with the power supply or you got that separately? 2- Have you tried flipping the bottom slim fan or removing it and noticed any difference in temps? Thanks!!
This might be what I need for building a separate small form factor streaming PC, and I think I wouldn't need a 4080 for that; a 4070 or even a 4060 would do just fine, as the main PC where the action takes place would have the 4090. Do you think I'd be able to fit an internal Elgato Camlink 4k four-HDMI capture card inside it along with a 4070?
Probably not, ideally you would go with something single slot like an rtx a4000, keep in mind you also need to cool your cpu which you would also want to be decent. If it were me I would go with something from sliger or an nr200p with those smaller sized matx boards (I was able to get a gigabyte b365 ds3h to fit) Also you really don't need a 4070 for a streaming pc, I would go with a 3060 or a 4060 and call it a day
These cases can't fit 4090s and on founders edition 40480s. We want smaller cases but we don't want to compromise in specs. Lovely case but make them slightly larger
Is the CPU at stock or is under-voltted in anyway? I have the 5800X and since the 5000 series and AM5 platform, all i see is every chip runs hot so i am just curious about the cpu and how it runs with a low-profile cooler?
Plenty of people use the 5800x with a thermal right am90x47 full copper, and it works. The 5800x3d is actually much faster and more efficient (less heat) for gaming, so most people use that CPU in the Terra case.
The way that cooler fits is so satisfying
"quite effective despite its small size' I wish my wife could say the same thing 😔
Xd
Yeahh, if only everyone has a thick size like Devyn Johnston does ;)
Fractal is killing it with case design recently. Was never really a fan of the meshifies, but the North and Terra are beautiful. I just went with the Ridge for the htpc look, but if I wasn't trying to go that route, I'd definitely go with a Terra or North.
Terra is my new favorite small build case. Everyone reviewed the green but i like the black look the best.
The black looks the best with the wood accent. I like the green color cause green is my favorite color but the wood looks a little awkward imho.
@@SpoonHurlerAgreed. Black with wood kinda reminds me of the Atari 2600 and gives off a '70s kind of aesthetic.
Black is beautiful: th-cam.com/video/wK2WqvM7IFQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=P1FoS_gAV7ay8sic

you should pin this bro
Only for Blower Style Cooler?
Flip the PSU around, with the stand-offs and the bottom fan there is enough exhaust for the GPU.
If your case only has a power switch, with no LEDs or reset switch, that Gigabyte board has a power button header right next to the USB 3.0 header, so you can skip the front panel addin card. assuming you're also not using SATA.

What a beautoful case this might be the one!! The fractal torrant mini was the one, but i think this is more the one!

I thought I would keep my Ghost S1 forever, but this case is tempting
I love that youtube suggesting Fractal Terra builds... I own one too... best case I've ever bought!
Gotta love Scandinavian minimalism.

Would be nice to have space for longer cards.

So what’s the total cost? All these build videos never say how much the parts list is.
About 2000 USD

Don’t thing there is a low profile cooler for it.
@@OurPlayTimethere's one: the Noctua NH-L12S he used that one in a previous video.
@@ALIMEN8would that fit with this gpu?
@@BrokeBoyGaminghtx what gpu the 4080?
Any reason you have the bottom fan as exhaust instead of intake? Seems like an odd choice.
There's enough intake from the GPU and CPU coolers. More importantly, having the bottom fan as exhaust allows for the flow-through design of the GPU to dump the hot air immediately.
Beautiful build. Love the quality of you video production.
I am so tempted to ditch my NR200 for this case.
Why was the most important thing not said? For example: 1. There is throttling under intense load.2. What is the temperature of the processor under load, intensive gaming for instance?
Great build Looking something similar to build for my son when he gets older.
With these new Cpu's you may want to have more thermal paste and spread it out for best contact. Pea size application is a thing from the past.
Considering he did a pea-sized application and then showed the thermals under max load being well within operating temps, I don't see the point of this comment. All you accomplish with manually spreading is the far greater chance of getting trapped air bubbles. The heatsink will force all air pockets out on its own.

I hate that this video came right after I received my Fractal Ridge from shipping 😂
BEAUTIFUL MACHINE, THANK FOR THE VIDEO
I suggest to plug in everything into motherboard if you want to use noctua l12s
Tbh I find the CPU temperature in some games extremely high. Did you find any solution? Other than that, the design is spectacular
I suppose it also serves for photo and video editing, as well as architecture because of how well it runs those games, right?
Decided to make my first build ever in this case, with a 4050 and a 7500x, allrready taken me 4 hours just to sort the motherboard out 😭
If only it was taller to support 240mm AIO's, I'll be sticking with the Lian Li-Dan A4-H20.
About to buy all of these parts in the next week and build this
It would be awesome to see a video on the Fractal North.
can not leave the fan-side of psu facing outwards???
Beautiful build. Did a compact ATX build for my 7800X3D/4080 Super PC, but considering doing a ITX build for fun next year. I also would like to see a XL version of the Terra whether it's matx or itx.
Do you think the thermals would improve if a normal 4000 series card was used rather than the FE?
Just checked my GPU lenght and it is 323mm (msi gaming trio 3090), and this case supports 322mm, cmon! it's too close, does anyone know if the 322mm they specify is a safe bet, but you can squeeze ONE more mm?
use a dremel tool with a grinder to clear that extra mm
I personally hate the beige and brown Noctua fans. I think the all black ones would look better or the Be Quiet LP cooler but still think it's an excellent build and one of the cases I've been looking at.
I think the beige ones can fit in with the green terra, but yeah not really for the black one.
Ordered the ghost version with the fan underneath the fins so more hidden
Case is too short for a 4070 Ti or 4080, same issue with the Ridge case, while it can fit a 4070 no issue, I couldn't put my Gigabyte 4070 Ti Gaming OC in, just a tad too short. Would be a perfect case if it can fit a 350mm long card

Im new to pc building here. Where does the secondary fan connect to on this particular motherboard?

Yep dimensions are the same!

Would a Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4060 Ti be good on this build
I still prefer the ridge. Better gpu compatibility , and better cpu cooling.
It's beautiful. But why do ITX cases so pricey? are they hard or expensive to produce? or they expensive coz of the niche ITX appeal?
Hey Devyn! Do you still agree that having the PSU backwards is the best bet?
I’m considering doing the same for my ghost s1 with a Metacustoms spine to help get rid of hot air from the gpu. Just wanna make sure this won’t make my temps worse.

lol nvm i found out how to do it :P
(but seriously you need to attach the Fan power extension cable that comes with the motherboard, and you then plug that into the Front Card slot)
New to building and I’ve read you should have fans at the bottom drawing cool air in, not exhausting it out… which way did you setup your fan?
would you recommend this cooler if using the 7700x?

If it were me I would go with something from sliger or an nr200p with those smaller sized matx boards (I was able to get a gigabyte b365 ds3h to fit) Also you really don't need a 4070 for a streaming pc, I would go with a 3060 or a 4060 and call it a day
No, internal Elgato Camlink, you don't have another PCI-E slot on itx- motheboards - so you need to choose gpu OR camlink ;)
Is it possible to install a 25mm Fan with grid?
idk how he's getting under 80 degrees CPU temp but mine is 100 degrees when playing cyberpunk, tried both Noctua NH-L9a-AM5 and Noctua NH-L9x65
You should try applying more thermal paste it might help
Lovely build!
Quick questions: Why having the case fan as axhaust? Isn't it bettes as intake since hot air tends to go up? Is there any difference?
Can you make a video on how to cable manage this? Got all the parts and it’s a mess compared to yours
Sorry if I missed it but, are the fans set to intake or exhaust? Thanks for this inspiring video.
Exhaust.
Hi there I’ll have the 4090 FE soon and will this fit it as well? Just double checking. I’m guessing the only upgrade I’ll need is a 1000 watt SFX?
what if i want to use 78003dx? which cpu cooler should i use?
What is the total build for the pc
These cases can't fit 4090s and on founders edition 40480s. We want smaller cases but we don't want to compromise in specs. Lovely case but make them slightly larger
Any issues so far? I might copy this build later this year as my PC was possibly fried by nearby lightning strikes.
I would pick a more colorful case if I could. Otherwise very good built and video!
Thank you for sharing.
Is the CPU at stock or is under-voltted in anyway? I have the 5800X and since the 5000 series and AM5 platform, all i see is every chip runs hot so i am just curious about the cpu and how it runs with a low-profile cooler?
Plenty of people use the 5800x with a thermal right am90x47 full copper, and it works. The 5800x3d is actually much faster and more efficient (less heat) for gaming, so most people use that CPU in the Terra case.
What temps and noises are you getting? Am going with same gpu but with a 7800x3D
I'd use a NH-L12S CPU cooler instead
Great channel man. Subscribed.
