@@rowom455 yea I know about the Formd.The reason I’m not going for it (for now) is because I’d like to be able to fit a non FE higher end 4090. The terra is imo better looking and it can fit most 4090s.I just wish it didnt waste so much space on the feet. They couldve used that space towards a rad instead.
Need a 240mm rad fit and it will be a perfect replacement for my formd t1. Id hate to throw away my aio but this could be a grunge looking case, maybe a retro themed no RGB all fans build.
I saw on a test that you shouldn't bother facing the PSU fan inward as it didn't improve thermal performance and will most likely reduce the lifespan of the PSU by making it use hotter air.
Just bought this case online with all the components (but GPU) to mount my new PC. Budget 2000 euros. I am really excited and can't wait to get started.
Everyone is reviewing this case! I can see why. It is gorgeous. ALso it firts a 4090. I am planning mini-itx build. So may be getting this case! :D WOuld it fit better if it were water cooled?
Planning yes, however the center spine is adjustable to accommodate for a thicker GPU or a taller CPU cooler for your individual build preferences. Nice video, Thanks!
whats the TUF gaming GPU you have fit in there is it a 4080? Dreaming of building this with a 4080 but wondering if it is only the FE card that will fit?
@@A2KMedia thanks to you. Actually, I want to build an ITX Desktop mainly for movies and games in 1080p 60fps or even 120fps on TV. I already have an old R7 1700 with a GTX 1070 Ti that I can use but I'd like to do a new build using Fractal Terra, with a R5 5600 or 7600 CPU and a RTX 3060 12Gb (2fans) or better depending on offers. I haven't bought the components yet, and I'm on a tight budget. Could you let me know what you think?
If this case had dimensions for liquid cooling, it would be #1 in design and aesthetics, but close to #1 case for functionality with the adjustable spine. Liquid cooling options in this case would make it #1 itx case at this time imo.
Maybe getting an RTX4070 founders and liquid cooling it, then you can fit a rad on there, maybe go with the max GPU configuration for a thicker rad and fan might fit a 240mm rad if it goes over the GPU, with a big fan in the normal place the rad and two slim fans on the rad....
you would need to have a way to connect that gpu to your device that will drive it, normally its part of pre built external enclosure. Sorry never DIYed it
Technically, you can make it with a negative pressure setup, setting the bottom fan (a 15mm noctua for example) as exhaust, and a cpu cooler like the NH-L12 Ghost S1 Edition that blows the air from the inside to the outside of the case (though pressure is not very relevant here due to the huge amount of open spaces). This is how i set up my Terra build 7 months ago. I opened it recently to put a grill fan on the bottom noctua, and to be honest, it wasnt that bad in terms of dust inside. Obviously it will depend on the environment (pets, location of the case, etc). But I'm super happy with it.
@@A2KMedia CPU doesn't need to be at 100% usage to bottleneck. You can have a 4790k at 50% usage and it will bottleneck even a GTX 1080. No CPU will ever reach 100% usage with gaming. The issue is not what happens over a whole second, but how much processing it can do in milliseconds. So faster CPU, the more it can do in that short period of time, which means the more frames it can handle. For example, an 8700k, by all rights still a pretty beefy CPU, will bottleneck even a 4070 by about 20% loss of frames compared to the latest CPU's. So having to run a CPU on a small heatsink definitely results in losses. Even an 8700k clocked to 4.7Ghz, will run at ~85c when maxed out with a large beefy heatsink like a Noctua D15. For the latest CPU's, this might not be a huge problem right now, but in a couple of years when even 4090 levels of performance are common, there's going to be bottlenecks without being able to overclock. Technically the 4090 is actually already bottlenecked by even the latest CPU's, there just isn't anything faster to compare it to, to see the bottleneck.
Got the same case. As for the gpu and cpu, would the temps still be cool/normal with a 4090 fe and a 13700k? Planning to get the AXP90-X47 cooler for it too. Not planning on ocing. I also know some undervolting may be required
Planning to make a build with a ryzen 5 5600x and an rx 6700 xt, any recommendations for a motherboard? The one you used in this video is currently sold out everywhere 🥲
@@Hashterix I was hoping a low profile air cooler… I want this case soooo bad!! Sure I can get the best gaming performance out of the 7800X3D, but I wanna run some VM’s with those extra E-Cores and have top notch gaming! I want my cake and eat it too!!!
🟥🟥🟥Click bait🟥🟥🟥 I called them they said 4090 tuff will not fit in.... I don't know why would u show that at the beginning, it's probably 3070 or something else . 4090 tuf size don't qualify with the case size
hey, sorry if it seemed misleading. We have shown the 4090 FE fitting in there with room to spare. Not every card will fit as some are just ridiculous in size. This is why we also provided maximum card dimensions so you can verify. Again apologies for any confusion caused, that was not the intention.

One of the most beautiful case design ever seen!
It's definitely up there
One of the cases ever built
@@Austin-ue5kh hahahahha
The design of the case has me on a chokehold, I love it
Amen. I am starting to regret buying the Fractal North in Jan
@@rickysmith028 Is that primarily just due to the form factor, or are there specific aspects of the North that are causing regrets?
I think what really helps this case is that it's made of metal, and so the case is somewhat an extension to be a bigger heatsink
Beautiful case. Now we need one thats a little bit taller , and fits a 240mm rad!
Just go with a Formd it's more compact while being able to fit a 240 rad with 1 slim fan and 1 norm fan.

Pls, can you tell me of the wraith spire cooler fit well in this case ?
hey, it depends on your set up. you can move the middle plate back and forth so check your CPU cooler vs your gpu size

if you use the 40 series FE in this case what would be the air flow layout?
you can mount it stock with psu mounted with standoffs
Fractal Design Terra or Ghost S1 ?

Possible to use bifurcation to have a 2 slot GPU and a 1 slot capture card or other 1 slot hardware?
this case only supports ITX boards so you won't fit two devices in there
No dust filters is a bit worrying

Thats why its off my list,it will only take a 4090 that has a 1 year warranty...the 4090FE,non of the other models.
it won't fit my 4090 which is 336mm long :(
hello mind asking what model is that portable monitor?
hey, its ROG Strix XG16
@@A2KMedia thank you my friend
no problem!
Like the case but my 4080 Gigabyte does not fit.
Beautiful case, but very very limited cpu cooling (thus limited cpu and gpu options without bottlenecking).
in SFF case of this size, you have to choose what you need more. For gaming, there is planty of cooling as CPU is not running at 100% all the time
@@A2KMedia CPU doesn't need to be at 100% usage to bottleneck. You can have a 4790k at 50% usage and it will bottleneck even a GTX 1080. No CPU will ever reach 100% usage with gaming.

the CPU will need undervolting but gpu should actually be pretty good.
Who cares about little tiny plastic bags it's the big bags you got to worry about 😂😮
Can a AIO be used?
With a tiny GPU. Probably not what you want.
If it doesn't fit a wide variety of 4090s and continue to provide adequate airflow it's a fail from me.

any b550 itx would do really
4090 FE will dump all heat into the case though.
it's very close to open case though due to the size of the holes
No it will dump half it's heat, the other half is exhausted out the back. If you use the PSU standoffs and 120mm exhaust fan should be fine.
@@richardfarmer6570 Yeah. Exhausting hot air to the bottom would be very smart.
Not so sure it fits a 4090 though unless it's a reference card
it fits , temps may be an issue but i have an extremely cold room so ive had no issues
can this beast tame a i9-13900K + rtx 4090?
I doubt it. All that's missing is space for a dual top mounted rad and it'd run anything. It's just a bit tooooo small. I really want it though.
