How did you find your first ever PC build? Stressful? Fun? Still considering building your first? Let me know in the comments! Also, don’t forget to read the complete write up including performance data here 👉 www.mrmattlee.com/post/fractaltorrentnano
Haven't done it yet completely from scratch but I upgraded the prebuilt that I currently use a few times so I kinda know what I'm getting into. I basically plan to do something simple with air cooling and the most likely case I'll end up going with is Fractal Torrent Compact because it comes with 2 180mm fans. I considered the North as well, for better aesthetic but still I think airflow is more important plus the Compact has a dedicated restart button which I like having for some reason.
I only really watched PC builders when I need to build a PC (which is rare), earlier this year I watched a lot of Matt's videos for ideas but also for the way these videos are put together, its part educational, part art. I'm now building a new PC for my lad for Christmas so I'm back watching the artist formerly known as Mr Matt Lee. * I've noticed a legion of Matt Lee imitators and they are good but nowhere near this level. “Often imitated, never duplicated”
Oh my god I was just researching this case. i have not even seen the video yet but thank you so freaking much Mr Matt Lee. E: Okay so this aesthetic is exactly what I was looking for my next ITX build. I was debating on the choice of the CPU cooler and back fan but this video did it for me. This is amazing!
That's probably gonna be my next case. Being able to fit a full-sized GPU and air cooler into something smaller like that is just awesome, and full-sized PSU is a bonus. Super clean build, too. I dig.
Damn it....another case I want, cause of the infamous Matt Lee!!! This looks so damn good!! First ever pc build...was back in 1994....scary I guess, but I was young, and had some good people to lean on for help when needed. So much more went into doing builds back then, jumpers, cables, the works. All in all it turned out pretty good.
I absolutely loved my compact but man! The cable management is so tight in them. Apart from that it was a really good air flow case. I had the black solid side one, one of the most silent cases I’ve had to date, 2 180’s ar the front was just insane flow.
These ITX builds really got me wanting to build a production PC when I get back to the states. Great build as always Matt. I got myself deciding between fractal or antec for my next three builds. Great video and coffee.
Have this in black. It is a fantastic case as far as looks and build quality. The biggest issue for me was the gpu thermals on my 2.7 slot card. 2 slot cards are the way to go with this case. That 180mm fan is WILD. Awesome Video!
Beautiful compact build 🥰, perfect for some ZEN with my Coffee. Love how all fits perfectly. Should function great with the i5 CPU. Wondering how it would have looked with an entirely white motherboard. Nice combo of hardware. The Case is very cute, love the front grill. Two thumbs up. Time for another cuppa coffee and some more ZEN. Thanks Mr. Matt Lee. 👍🤛
Oooh Ive been waiting for this one! A Mr. Matt Lee video is as good as real hands on experience with a case. I want to see one of these with a DeepCool Assassin 4
Pro tip I found with this case, turn all your fans to exhaust out the front of the case so then both cpu and gpu get fresh air and the huge fan does all the work it wants
It's been years since the release of the torrent and no other company competed with it. Been waiting for an airflow case with a top mounted PSU just like it but cheaper.
Awesome video as always. However, it kind of feels wrong to use an ATX PSU in an ITX build though 🙂. Other than that, it was perfect. I can use an SFX-L PSU in my Mini-ITX case (Phanteks EVOLV Shift XT), but even that feels wrong when SFX PSUs exists. But maybe there wasn't an SFX / SFX-L PSU in the white color that made you choose an ATX PSU for that purpose.
this actually looks really good, I am wondering if I should get this case now but I have a gigabyte 4080 super gaming oc and don't think it will fit :(
I've been trying to get what I think is one of the best looking and performance Mini ITX cases ever. I wonder why Fractal stopped supplying these. One's that are available are very expensive.
Hey Matt, nice build as always ! I have a similar clearance beneath my GPU on a deepcool CH370, and I happen to have some noctua slim fans that would just fit in. Do you think it's a good idea to place them there ? My GPU tend to be very hot (80°c +), would it resolve that issue, at least partially, or would it be worse due the almost 0 clearance between the noctua and the GPU ?
Dear Matt san, First and foremost, I would like to clarify that I am Japanese and not fluent in English, so I use ChatGPT to communicate. As a result, my messages might sound like they were generated by AI, but please understand that I am a real person. I have a request for you: could you please film a PC build video using the Antec FLUX Pro? The Antec FLUX Pro is a recently released PC case, and it’s currently being talked about for having better airflow than the Fractal Design Torrent. If the Antec FLUX Pro becomes available in England, I would really appreciate it if you could create a build video for it. I understand it’s a bit of a favor, but I would be incredibly grateful if you could consider this. Thank you for your time and consideration.
@Mr_Matt_Lee weird. Here in America, no one has had it since last year. I've tried to get it and no one knows if/when it will be available. And I work for a computer store.
I wish the Fractal logo was optional, you can paint it or pot a sticker over it but it won’t be clean. just make it a magnetic clip so we can remove it for a clean look. I feel like we should push back on non removable non hidden branding, on everything. we already paid for the product we shouldn’t be forced to advertise it.
Always wondered. I know the Prisma AL-18 fan gives a ton of airflow. But will you get better GPU temperatures if you swap it with two 120mm fans in front?

My first build was 24 years ago so yeah it was quite the experience lol
@@itzamedave6242oh man! Back when internal hardware aesthetics didn’t even play a small role 😅 great times!
My first pc build was on pentium III 😅

This is by far the most beautiful build I've seen this year. So simple and clean. This is what we used to have when simplicity's the key.
The information you provide is accurate, the build is beautiful, and the configuration is perfect.
Ahhh, that’s a wholesome comment! Thank you 🤜🤛

you're building a PC for a friend? For Christmas? Damn, I need new friends lol.

This is amazing!
Well that’s perfect timing then, hey! 😁 Enjoy the video and best of luck with your upcoming build 🙌
You really don’t need that back fan. Since it failed on me I haven’t replaced it and didn’t notice any temp rise. Wonderful case 👌
I think on 3:06 you can see that this cooler dont do a full contact with CPU surface!!
love watching your videos while having my afternoon coffee or like we say in Germany "Kaffee und Kuchen"
That's probably gonna be my next case. Being able to fit a full-sized GPU and air cooler into something smaller like that is just awesome, and full-sized PSU is a bonus. Super clean build, too. I dig.
Torrent Nano gang represent!! I love this case so much.
Pc is pc, but music in your videos is.. so relaxing and deep. I would like to listen to it as a soundtrack sometimes
5:24 Lovely sound!
If only 12VHPWR connectors had that same *click* 😭
Thank you for including those cable extensions. I think they really put the build on a whole other level. Well done!

Nice itx build, that case is awesome. Small but mighty
This falling power supply at the end gave me heart attack :D. Awesome build,as always!
Every time I click on one of your videos, Mr Matt, I know I will always be in for a treat. Well done as always!
These ITX builds really got me wanting to build a production PC when I get back to the states. Great build as always Matt. I got myself deciding between fractal or antec for my next three builds. Great video and coffee.
You never disappoint. I learned a lot from your videos and now I understand better how to build computers😊😊
I love that little case. Sorta wish more case manufacturers would design around the idea of a straight up wind tunnel :D
Have this in black. It is a fantastic case as far as looks and build quality. The biggest issue for me was the gpu thermals on my 2.7 slot card. 2 slot cards are the way to go with this case. That 180mm fan is WILD. Awesome Video!
i just bought a normal sized fractal torrent, just love that there's fans below the GPU :) this one is its cute little sibling
thanks for the reminder to refill my coffee, the PC looks good too.
It’s so clean ❤ love you Mr. Matt God bless you.
great stuff like always, I build my PC in a torrent compact a year ago because of your video.
Thank you Matt. ☕️
You’re welcome! Have an epic week 😁
@@Mr_Matt_Lee You too my friend.
Nice compact white build,like it. Personaly like more dark bulds. Congrats at another great/small build Matt👍👍👍
Great fun and relaxing to watch as always! Nice work 👍
Thank you, stoked you enjoyed the video 😊
Great aesthetic build! ❤
Amazing work as always 👍
letsgo finally matt build a torrent nano. i love the big fan at the front of the case :)
Nice Build Bro!!!
I'm going to make this in an arrow lake/battlemage build. Great work!!!!
Thats a very beautiful white build.
This case is awesome.
Another work of art such a great production
Thank you 😊🙌
Beautiful compact build 🥰, perfect for some ZEN with my Coffee. Love how all fits perfectly. Should function great with the i5 CPU. Wondering how it would have looked with an entirely white motherboard. Nice combo of hardware. The Case is very cute, love the front grill. Two thumbs up.
Time for another cuppa coffee and some more ZEN. Thanks Mr. Matt Lee. 👍🤛
I like this less Talk More Visualization and nice beats
I so badly wish Fractal still made these cases, or the meshify nanos
sweet 'big itx' case❤
That’s massive for ITX
I was thinking of a Mr. Bean Compilation with Matt's clips. No word, yet we know the feelings.
Oooh Ive been waiting for this one!
A Mr. Matt Lee video is as good as real hands on experience with a case.
I want to see one of these with a DeepCool Assassin 4
Blowing on the fans before attaching them... Nice cinematographic touch 😂
Amazing, really !
this is awesome hope you keep doing 1 pc build per week
Pro tip I found with this case, turn all your fans to exhaust out the front of the case so then both cpu and gpu get fresh air and the huge fan does all the work it wants
Wow really, I might try this
All assemblies are made with soul. You are great. Success and inspiration in your future work! Greetings from Ukraine!
hope to see a green screen for screwdriver one day. we could make him do things that defy gravity :p Nice video thks
so cute! haha i hope their will be a build for black version of this case.. thanks!
このケース大好きなのでとてもうれしいです！
全体が白で、スタイリッシュにまとまっていていいですね！
Matt, love your videos man! Would it be possible if you could add in the description how much your builds cost at the time?
Haven't seen any 180mm fans since my Silverstone Raven II days which I still own
It's been years since the release of the torrent and no other company competed with it. Been waiting for an airflow case with a top mounted PSU just like it but cheaper.
Lovely pc case ❤
Awesome itx build. :)
Haha the bloopers are great xD
Torrent series were good, especially the ex-tra large front FAN...😁
Oh yes! The best part of all is that it moves so much air, with very little noise at all! 😀💨
Какая прекрасная белая сборка!!!
I wish they still made this case.
Amazing job! I like this setup! Are you Rodrigo Santoro's brother? (Just kidding) :)
自分のPCケースにTorrent Compact使ってるけどホントにエアフローが素晴らしい
I remember building with the Torrent Compact on the channel a couple of years ago and I have to agree, it’s really really great! ☺️
PSU back at the top 😊😊
Love that top mount PSU location 😮💨
I miss this case. I regret selling it.
this is all you need for gaming and should beat the ps5 pro :) you should add a white controller ;)
The best airflow focused case just got the *smol* variant
It’s insane how much airflow the Torrent series create! 💨💨
Fractal Meshify Nano ITX with a 240mm radiator next pls 🙏
FD! We need Torrent Mini for mATX!!!
Awesome video as always. However, it kind of feels wrong to use an ATX PSU in an ITX build though 🙂.
Other than that, it was perfect.
I can use an SFX-L PSU in my Mini-ITX case (Phanteks EVOLV Shift XT), but even that feels wrong when SFX PSUs exists.
But maybe there wasn't an SFX / SFX-L PSU in the white color that made you choose an ATX PSU for that purpose.
Very clean, could you squeeze a bigger GPU in that build?
From the size its an M-ATX. Just got one from Jonsbo with the front screen that is a bit smaller than this one.
Ayo Mr. matt could ya try the new Sama im01 pro, it look like it have a good airflow with a minimalistic design. keep posting i love your builds. 🖤
Thank you! ❤
Most welcome! 🤜🤛
love your videos! can you build one in a lian li sup01? with as much RGB as possible? thank you!
this actually looks really good, I am wondering if I should get this case now but I have a gigabyte 4080 super gaming oc and don't think it will fit :(
Can you add some Benchmark to the End ? I’m interested in CPU/GPU Temps in your Builds.
Thank’s for your Work ❤
See the pinned comment my friend 🙌

항상 멋진 영상 감사해요 ^^
You’re welcome 😁 Thanks for being here!
What ASUS Keyboard and Mouse combo is that?! 🔥🔥🔥
That was the biggest screwdriver flip yet 🪛🔄
Right?! It was rotating so quickly it could’ve been mistook for an angle grinder disk 😅

ahhhh yes ITX ftw!!!!
We gotta love the ITX board round here 🙌
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻☕️👌🏻Classy!!!
3:07 Eh that cpu cooler doesn’t cover the whole cpu.
Great video again. Do you think my rx 7800 xt tuf version will fit in these?
The max GPU length is 335mm, although it’s worth noting that 3 slots is your maximum card thickness too 😬
Cheesy jokes - but did make me smile 😂
Nice Case but I dont understand why it is so big for an mini ITX my LianLi 205m has nearly the same size and can house a micro atx Board.
The Torrent Nano is a great case. Too bad Fractal doesn't sell it anymore. They discontinued it over a year ago.
That’s bizarre, because I purchased it brand new from a store a week before filming the video 🫡
@Mr_Matt_Lee weird. Here in America, no one has had it since last year. I've tried to get it and no one knows if/when it will be available. And I work for a computer store.
Matt bro Open case build? Xproto and noctua fans
I wish the Fractal logo was optional, you can paint it or pot a sticker over it but it won’t be clean. just make it a magnetic clip so we can remove it for a clean look. I feel like we should push back on non removable non hidden branding, on everything. we already paid for the product we shouldn’t be forced to advertise it.
Hi try building a Project Zero of MSI or BTF of Asus or Gigabyte PC.
Always wondered. I know the Prisma AL-18 fan gives a ton of airflow. But will you get better GPU temperatures if you swap it with two 120mm fans in front?
Love the look but for ITX, it's too big. They could've opt for sfx psu to make the case shorter. As of now, it's already in the matx territory size
What do you think about fractal meshify nano case ? vs torrent nano which one should u advise ?
Macejkovic Harbor
Can't find this case in stock anywhere in the US
Hello Mr. Matt Lee, How are you?
That intel is not bad actually (it will be not dead with times like 14900k), but I prefer Ryzen.
@Mr_Matt_Lee How did you get the Mobo to work out of the box with i5 14gen?.
Did you have to boot it with a 13gen CPU and update the bios first?
It's cases like this that make me want to get rid of my xfx 7900xtx..
I have that case, it's so nice looking but my power suply, RM850x, overheats when gaming.
If I want to upgrade some components here, what would it be, should I go with 4070 ti and core i7?
