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.
The way that cooler fits is so satisfying
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
Took the silver .. rocks as well ( iMac color theme )
Beautiful build. Love the quality of you video production.
Flip the PSU around, with the stand-offs and the bottom fan there is enough exhaust for the GPU.
What a beautoful case this might be the one!! The fractal torrant mini was the one, but i think this is more the one!
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.
I agree, subtle rgb is way better than rainbow puke
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.
You use a bottom fan as an exhaust? Ive read that is the best use for thermals
@@denisnatera3633 I have mine as exhaust.
@@richardfarmer6570 Nice thanks for answering. Ima get this case really soon
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!
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.
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?
Great build Looking something similar to build for my son when he gets older.
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!!
I dont think it came with it.. I went to amazon and its for sure not in the box. Be more helpful if he let people know.
Would be nice to have space for longer cards.
You may want to try the Thermalright AXP90-X47 Full Copper for your CPU cooler. Very interested to see how it compare with Nactua one you are using now.
Will this cooler fit?
I’d love to know if this would fit.
Will it fit?
@@MegaMrChilli Yes, it will. It is shorter and more square than the Noctua. There is a Hardware Canucks have video a comparison with a lot of low profile CPU coolers.
Yes it fits. It does about 10 degrees better than the cooler he uses in this video. Make SURE you get the "FULL COPPER" one, the non "Full" ones arent much better than the L9i. The full copper can be hard to find right now due to being so popular though.
i really want to build a small form factor build in the future, it might be my next upgrade whenever i move over to AM5
Great channel man. Subscribed.
Devyn, just did a build like this with same cpu and cooler, curious if you did any adjusting for your temps. Mine are running a bit higher
Bor nice video. What are your temps in gaming?
Did you undervolt the cpu ?
About to buy all of these parts in the next week and build this
Love the design. I don’t like the USB-A on the front. I’m going to order one and cut some walnut on my CNC to replace that front panel. I might add a second USB-C or I might just leave the single.
I suggest to plug in everything into motherboard if you want to use noctua l12s
Great build !!
Hi Devyn! Thanks for sharing such awesome builds! May I ask what do you usually do with the PCs you build? Do you sell or keep them?
Right now I keep them and reuse the parts for new build videos. If there is enough interest, I may start to sell them in the future.
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?
Did I miss you talking about the exhaust fan? It just sort of showed up.
I thought I would keep my Ghost S1 forever, but this case is tempting
Do you recommend this case for kind of dusty place?
Great Job man 🎉
I love that youtube suggesting Fractal Terra builds... I own one too... best case I've ever bought!
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
Yeah the top get is really hot even with the 7800x3d, but nothing is thermal throttling
Doomed
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.
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?
Really good content ! What do you use to do this big white background when hand shots ? A giant piece of paper ? Plastic ? Thx !
On the table top I use a 24"x36" white matboard, you can get them at most craft stores. The white background is a large softbox.
Do you think the thermals would improve if a normal 4000 series card was used rather than the FE?
Nice! Where you did get the fan grill from? Thanks.
What cable did you use for the 4080? Im doing almost the same build and I cant seem to find a cable that fits the case and PSU.
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.
Thank you very much for taking the extra mile and adding this useful information!
Well done addressing concerns. Subscribed
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.
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?
Can you do a build with the formd t1 with the 4080?
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!!!
So how does the cooler perform under heavy load? Does it manage the 7600X?
When I use a local PC-Builder their software say the Noctua isn't powerfull enough for the X-CPU:s
Great work mate!! Was wondering the noise while playing the games such as cyber punk or hogwarts? Cheers
What temps and noises are you getting? Am going with same gpu but with a 7800x3D
would you recommend this cooler if using the 7700x?
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.
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.
How'd you manage to do the cable management? 😢😢😢
Amazing!
I wonder if it's possible to flip the panels or rearrange some hardware so the latch is in the front of the case, eliminating the issue of interference with taller graphics cards and allowing you to run a larger CPU cooler.
Little hack I did was just cut off part of the release button, works perfectly
absolutely I did the same and I gained 8mm@@rickdoremus5532
Will i be able to fit a m.w heatsink at the back of the b650e-i board in this case?
It would be awesome to see a video on the Fractal North.
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.
can not leave the fan-side of psu facing outwards???
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.
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.
I'm building one almost identical with a 7700X. You think I'll be fine as long as I undervolt it?
Great Video!! Quick question, what are the dimensions of the cooler fan grill you added on to keep the wires from hitting the fan? Or can you post a link to the grill used? Thanks again!!
They are 120mm fan grills. These are the exact ones I ordered: amzn.to/3Q7yMbo
Do you think a non slim bottom fan would work?
Wow! good temps!
BEAUTIFUL MACHINE, THANK FOR THE VIDEO
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.
Any issues so far? I might copy this build later this year as my PC was possibly fried by nearby lightning strikes.
How did you keep the cpu from melting? I have same build, beside the cpu is 15-13th and gpu is 4070ti super, cpu is 95-100c
Can we put one more cooler under motherboard?
Sorry if I missed it but, are the fans set to intake or exhaust? Thanks for this inspiring video.
Exhaust.
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?
I saw someone did install an id cool with pretty beefy gpu
Does anyone know if the NH-L12S cooler fits in this build?
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
Hi Guys, what about the noise in use for many Hour? Like 9 hour in a day?
for a 4090 can i use the SF850 power supply?
You can pair the cooler with a 7800X3D, but you might need to enable Eco-Mode or choose a ~65W PPT. In Gaming you won't notice it, but it does lower the allcore performance.
I was thinking the same thing, but it doesn't makes sense to me to buy an expensive chip, and not utilize it to it's fullest potential.
@@M4rio21 It seems like you don't know, so let me explain. The 7800X3D is a gaming CPU, otherwise you would choose a CPU with more cores to work with it.
The 7800X3D uses less power then the 7600X on average, because it was designed that way. In gaming it uses 50-70W, that is when it is used to its fullest in games.
But when you use certain applications or benchmark tools, then it can use even more power, that is upto 162W.
So limiting it to ~65W won't take any FPS from your games. You could let it run stock if you want, but in some edge cases it could use more power and make your fans go brrr...
@@gucky4717 Oh wow, i did not realize the power consumption was LESS than the slower chip. That's actually very impressive.
@@M4rio21 Well on a techical level the power consumption is the same, since it is essentially the same chip, but the clock/voltage/powercurve is different.
The 7800X3D for example boots upto 5Ghz, but the 7600X boosts upto 5,3Ghz. That 300Mhz higher takes up a a lot more power.
That is why if you want the 7700X enable Eco-Mode/ use limit for a 65W TDP OR use the 7700 non-X, which has already similar limits out of the box.
For the NH-L9A "mini" cooler it is best to keep within that 65W limit.
P.S. sadly I can't draw curves in here, that could have explained it much better. :D
Higher clock= exponential higher powerusage.
Will the asus tuf rx 6800 fit? The asus product page has really confusing dimension
Do you have recomendation m-atx compact case?
Gotta love Scandinavian minimalism.
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.
If you're using a non-FE gpu, flipping the psu with exhaust out is the correct positioning, right?
Correct
What is the total build for the pc
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
Touch grass
Great video! Subbed! Question about cpus. If I wanted to do Intel what could you suggest? Also, for AMD is there an x3d option you'd consider? Thanks for the step by step on this!
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.
Check Noctua’s compatibility list.
damn broooo this is nuts
If only it was taller to support 240mm AIO's, I'll be sticking with the Lian Li-Dan A4-H20.
clean build! do you have a favorite out of the am5 itx motherboards that you've worked with?
The ASUS B650E-I has been my favorite to work with so far. Has all the features you would typically need and good compatibility with low profile cpu coolers. Just need to update the bios if using an X3D chip. I do like the Gigabyte B650I in this video, but I found all of the dongles/breakout card to be bothersome to work with at times (although I understand why they needed to do it) and the dual SSD heatsinks height makes fitting low profile coolers more challenging.
@@devyn.johnston appreciate the feedback! was leaning towards the gigabyte because of the value proposition but will give the asus more consideration. how have post times been for you with the different mobos (I had read that they can be a bit slow on the am5 platform)?
What site do you use to check for the CPU cooler and CPU TDP compatibility?
Noctua themselves
do you think you could fit the NH-l9x65 in the same case with the same motherboard ?
Easily. That's what I am using in my setup. Depending on your card size, it should fit fine
Can you make a video on how to cable manage this? Got all the parts and it’s a mess compared to yours
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?
Did you ever figure out where to plug in the case fan? Running into the same problem!
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?
I wanted to build a pc but I'm confused with motherboard as I'm going with the same processor and ddr5 vengeance non rgb 16gb ram but as I'm not using gpu what would be best psu to go with
I hate that this video came right after I received my Fractal Ridge from shipping 😂
what are the temps?
I am so tempted to ditch my NR200 for this case.
I would pick a more colorful case if I could. Otherwise very good built and video!
Thank you for sharing.
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 😭
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 love the looks of the case. However, I really want to go AIO with a 7800X3D next with my 4080 FE and I'm not sure you could do that with such a small case.
Keep up the awesome work!
It is only possible to use a 120mm AIO if you use a graphics cared that is 175mm or less, you won't be able to with a 4080 FE.
another option is the formd t1 which can fit a 240 aio and personally i think it’s more thought out and better looking but it’s up to you
You don't need an aio in this case if you use a really good air cooler. A good air coolers are actually better than any aio under 240mm. Plenty of people on r/sff use the 7800x3d with a thermalright x47 full copper and report really low temps.
So my 7600x CPU on idle mode is at 85 degrees celcius. And i’m using the same cooler in this video. How to fix this?
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.
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
quedo perfecta!
Is this build for gaming?
