Product Information

Fractal Design Terra Graphite - Wood Walnut front panel - Small form factor - mITX gaming case - PCIe 4. Unless you need the extra power SFX-L affords, we recommend sticking to true SFX PSUs in the Terra just for ease of use and flexibility. There are there are 4 screw points (Two on the top and two on the bottom) of the frame that allow for the inner chassis to be moved more towards the CPU or GPU side, allowing for more clearance to one or the other, depending on your needs.

The flexibility in the internal layout gives users a level of choice that puts most other cases on the market to shame. The literature I received does not show a difference in material for the removable top panel, but I did notice a very obvious color difference in the top panel from the rest of the exterior. Fractal has a history of quality SFF enclosures (see the Node 202 and the much more recent Ridge) and now they’ve released the new Terra, complete with a wood accent to connect it with some of their recent design language. The sides can be easily folded up and the lid can also be easily removed via a strap made of imitation leather.

A large part of the point of ITX is to fit the most in the least, and so standardizing cooler selection would mean limiting how useful -- for example -- the "H2O" aspect of the DAN Case A4-H2O is if we were to use a downdraft cooler. incorporate better access to the bottom of the case and really focus on squeezing every millimeter of space by moving the power supply mount higher. I also got a Thermalright contact frame for the CPU and a Noctua NF-A12x25 fan (with a grill to protect PSU cables) to exhaust at the bottom of the case.

Our methodological choices and details on our acoustic chamber, including our peer review process for acoustic data, can all be found in the video for this review. riser cable and a moveable central spine for customisation of hardware clearance, accommodating GPUs up to 322mm. Of course, you have to look very closely at a case of this size so that everything fits and compromises are made. Corsair SF750 is probably the most popular SFX PSU available and not only is it very good but has much nicer braided cables.Flexible specification options to meet your needs, fully configurable and of course, upgradeable in future. If you try to install the motherboard without those two already attached, you are just setting yourself up for frustration down the road, no matter what SFF enclosure you’ve chosen. The Terra has a movable motherboard plate, aka "spine", which can be adjusted sideways allowing you to increase the relative size of the CPU chamber or GPU chamber. So of course you have to use an mITX mainboard and the power supply unit can only be an SFX/SFX-L model with a maximum length of 130 mm.

However, I've been getting really high temperature ranged with both the GPU and CPU, and this is only while playing strategy games at 1080p. That’s what really matters: The most important part of ITX reviews are the sections on the building process and ease-of-installation features. It has some extremely unique features, but also some extremely unique noise characteristics as a result of the slat design on the panels. Fractal even included two standoffs for the PSU bracket to give extra space between the PSU and GPU if your GPU is a “flow through” design as so many current gen cards are.Do I need to downgrade the components, or go with a completely new case with better thermals if I want to keep what I have?

Adding fans to the bottom didn’t appreciably move the needle for GPU thermals either, so skip that idea unless extending the feet. With cues from modern gamer homes, it features robust anodized aluminium panels, detailed CNC-milled touches, and solid walnut, bringing together both function and artistry. AIO Chassis as the base of the machine, we are able to provide the ultimate in experiences never before seen in an All In One form factor. As part of our RGB series of gaming PCs this unit comes with a fully controllable RGB lighting system which allows you to change the colour of your fans and LED strips with nearly infinite variations, all from the convenience of a remote control unit. Inspired by the homes of modern gamers, Fractal Terra incorporates boutique design features such as thick panels cut from anodized aluminium, CNC-milled details and FSC-certified solid walnut.Optimise the utilisation of natural air circulation facilitated by the ventilated panels located on the top, sides, and bottom. I was still a bit concerned about the difficulties of getting a full system into such a small enclosure.
