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: ruclips.net/video/wK2WqvM7IFQ/видео.htmlsi=P1FoS_gAV7ay8sic
Took the silver .. rocks as well ( iMac color theme )
The way that cooler fits is so satisfying
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 RUclips 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.
you should pin this bro
"quite effective despite its small size' I wish my wife could say the same thing 😔
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
Flip the PSU around, with the stand-offs and the bottom fan there is enough exhaust for the GPU.
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.
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.
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.
Did I miss you talking about the exhaust fan? It just sort of showed up.
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
Yeah the top get is really hot even with the 7800x3d, but nothing is thermal throttling
Doomed
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.
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.
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.
What a beautoful case this might be the one!! The fractal torrant mini was the one, but i think this is more the one!
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
Im new to pc building here. Where does the secondary fan connect to on this particular motherboard?
Would be nice to have space for longer cards.
I love that youtube suggesting Fractal Terra builds... I own one too... best case I've ever bought!
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.
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?
I hate that this video came right after I received my Fractal Ridge from shipping 😂
Nice build. Not recommended to run the flow through cooler through the PSU though. There’s no chance that Fractal recommended this.
Also with a 4080 you should be using a more powerful cooler such as the IS-55 or AXP90-x47 as you have enough space

@@devyn.johnston Still didn't get recommended. Says it's just an alternative.... >.>
@@devyn.johnston I'd recommend taking looking at SFF forums about this, people have tried similar with the Ghost S1, Dan A4 SFX and Formd T1 with the PSU facing the flowthrough fan of the GPU and it's never worth it, definitely worth flipping it around.
@@devyn.johnston nowhere there does it say that it is ‘recommended’ for flow through coolers. Doesn’t even mention flow through.
yeah i found this interesting don't see many builds with the PSU fan facing inwards.
Beautiful build. Love the quality of you video production.
I thought I would keep my Ghost S1 forever, but this case is tempting
Gotta love Scandinavian minimalism.
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
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?
So what’s the total cost? All these build videos never say how much the parts list is.
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.
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!!!
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?
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
can not leave the fan-side of psu facing outwards???
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
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’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.
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
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.
can i use the 4090 instead of the 4080 while keep the other exact same parts as the video? thanks!
Yep dimensions are the same!
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.
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.
Great build Looking something similar to build for my son when he gets older.
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!
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
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
I am so tempted to ditch my NR200 for this case.
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 ?
Sorry if I missed it but, are the fans set to intake or exhaust? Thanks for this inspiring video.
Exhaust.
NH-L9I-17XX fully control even i9-14900KF
I suggest to plug in everything into motherboard if you want to use noctua l12s
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?
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.
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?
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
I'm building one almost identical with a 7700X. You think I'll be fine as long as I undervolt it?
If only it was taller to support 240mm AIO's, I'll be sticking with the Lian Li-Dan A4-H20.
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.
Would a Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4060 Ti be good on this 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.
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
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
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 😭
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.
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.
Do you think the thermals would improve if a normal 4000 series card was used rather than the FE?
About to buy all of these parts in the next week and build this
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?
damn broooo this is nuts
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.
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.
It would be awesome to see a video on the Fractal North.
Man literally built a console more beautiful than a ps5
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?
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
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.
Hi Guys, what about the noise in use for many Hour? Like 9 hour in a day?
BEAUTIFUL MACHINE, THANK FOR THE VIDEO
Can you design in unreal engine 5 with these specs? They look like it
I just wanna be sure
happy that youre gettin' ads now
Bor nice video. What are your temps in gaming?
Did you undervolt the cpu ?
Hey I wanted to make the same exact build but I was wondering if I can fit an intel i7 14th gen and what psu and cooler should I pick
will this fit full pc size components? like a GTX3070 and 5800x3d?
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,
Cpu thermals are bad you should have gone with the ID IS 55 or 47. I use the 47 and I never hit 80 C
Great work mate!! Was wondering the noise while playing the games such as cyber punk or hogwarts? Cheers
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
I would pick a more colorful case if I could. Otherwise very good built and video!
Thank you for sharing.
Any issues so far? I might copy this build later this year as my PC was possibly fried by nearby lightning strikes.
I still prefer the ridge. Better gpu compatibility , and better cpu cooling.
Would have been cool if there was anymore than literally 3 seconds about motherboard orientation and installation, but decent guide overall
Can you make a video on how to cable manage this? Got all the parts and it’s a mess compared to yours
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
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
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
No, internal Elgato Camlink, you don't have another PCI-E slot on itx- motheboards - so you need to choose gpu OR camlink ;)
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?
Thermal paste?
Undervolt your cpu
Do you recommend this case for kind of dusty place?
Thermals? Noise? Important information for a 10L case like this.
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.
Curiously what cooler did you lasso best compatible 'ride into the sunset' @@Hashterix
