The Jade version of the Terra is such a beautiful color. Such a classy green.

[@thewarrior1045]

newegg just sells black where can i buy the jade?

[@DannysTechChannel]

Amazing! So glad I clicked this one. I loved the candid commentary. 😂 couldn’t stop laughing on this one. Well done!

[@jchildr72]

I gave up a 13900k and a 4090 to be able to build in this case. I downgraded my CPU to a Ryzen 9 7900 and my GPU to a 7900 XTX Reference card. This little build is quieter than my previous build in a Fractal North. I love this case so much!

It's an exquisite looking case. For my needs (i.e. not a gamer), I can get away without needing a GPU installed, but it's nice to know that some of the older GPUs I have can fit in there without any problems. Storage is likely my main issue, but honestly, this is case is close to perfection in my eyes.

The case that really caught my eye in Computex was the Coolermaster Qube 500. I can't wait for your review!

[@JaiAzura]

The max gpu length is stated to be 322 mm, the msi ventus 4080 is exactly 322 mm. I'm wondering how much clearance there actually is. Would that gpu actually fit, since it's right at the max legnth?

[@shanksisnoteventhatstrongbruh]

love the wood but i still hate the single USB-A port up front... it still uses the same internal 3.0 port/header so Fractal might as well give us the 2 USB-A ports.

There’s actually a 3rd party 4090 at 322mm from MSI (Ventus 3x). I wonder if it fits.

Great content...one of the best channels

[@chaos9chao]

What I want to know is if an rtx 4080 MSI Ventus will fit since it is exactly 322mm long which is the max length that the case supports for GPUs

[@looper6120]

Hi, A quick question, if to mount a fan on the bottom (you can even do two), would you say make them as intake, or exhaust? for this fractual design terra?

[@GearSeekers]

Watch the review linked in the description 😉

[@briank3754]

Design, build quality, and aesthetics matter too. If you want a massive tower with custom cooling then build that. If you want an extremely well built and stylish SFF computer that can support up to a 4090 then get the Terra! The Terra coupled with an external monitor will be replacing my laptop. I cant wait to get my hands on the green.

Can you recommend larger cases for those who love Fractal Terra?

[@user-mb7hq8we6p]

@GeerSeekers Do you think this case could fit the ASUS 3070 Noctua?

[@peterelliott2914]

I'm getting one next week and intend to lie the PSU on the bottom and lift the GPU (RX 6800) a wee bit so the PSU will slide under it. Then I'll put a 120 44mm rad where the PSU was and get a pump/block combo. If I can fit a res somewhere up high even better... The pipework all takes space though. It might not work but the case is not just for style and for grown ups but for styling grown ups who like an engineering challenge lol. Thanks for the vid!

[@BelliSenior]

Genuinely curious to see what kind of cpu cooler combo would work with the 4080 pro art card from asus considering those cards are way smaller

[@jmal]

Your cat convinced me to subscribe.

[@congp]

Do you think the ROG Strix 3080 will fit in this case? If it does, do you know how much clearance to I have for cable routing/management?

[@briank3754]

The Strix is 319mm and the Terra will fit a 322 mm card so it should fit your GPU and shouldn’t affect cable management due to the side by side layout.

[@blindman8093]

4080,4070ti Asus Proart are perfect for this one with axp120-x67 aircooler. and dont forget the 7900xt reference card.

[@AndrewJensen-dx1bp]

Can you even fit a Cooler Master MLX-D24M-A18P2-R1 MasterLiquid ML240 Illusion cooler inside the Fractal Terra case? What about in the Fractal North case? Haven't seen anyone fit a cooler inside this case before, just curious

[@larrs8887]

Looking to get a new pc soon and I’m leaning to a sff with this. I don’t plan on gaming too much so a small gpu is fine, not sure I want a big case nor want a pre-built all in one such as a nuc.

[@simeonerossi75]

The "no X" Ryzen 7000 are perfect for this beauty ❤

[@Alp577]

Love the look of this case, but the thermals is not very good. They need to add a top hat like the ghost S1 to improve it. At the moment the A4 H20 is a good alternative for small size, thermals, and GPU compatibility.

[@francislo8610]

A4 has no flexibility on GPU and CPU cooler size, that is the problem. A4 may win in the thermo only because an AIO can fit

[@richardfarmer6570]

I have a Inno3d 4070 Ti that is a true dual slot in my Terra and I am using the original Big Shuriken 3 that is 69mm and everything fits easily, cooling is really good too.

[@markusvalentini438]

Oh that's what i was looking for! Many 4070 ti are quite large. What cpu are you cooling? I was planning for a 13500 mainly because i am afraid the 13600k runs too hot otherwise.

[@richardfarmer6570]

[@paulfedorenko2301]

Hey. I know, I know... A year late with this comment... I recently build a system in that exact case. It looks gorgeous sitting on the bookshelf next to my home theatre setup. I went with older parts, for reasons, so the system's build around a Ryzen 5700X3D and an RTX 3080. It runs a bit hot, but the system works well. It was a fun build.

Is it impossible to keep a i9-13900K cool in this case?

[@evlkenevl2721]

It's a shame so many wood types are getting scarce now. Bird's eye, zebrawood or even ebony would have looked great on that case. I've noticed on guitars that woods once considered cheap options are now premium.

[@saucyg6371]

Sure but even 5 years ago the prices on those woods were pretty high. At least as high or higher than most oak and and walnut

[@evlkenevl2721]

@@saucyg6371 yea, they would be then. For many decades, ebony could be found on midrange and even some budget instruments. It got more expensive, so rosewood replaced it in cheaper items. Now, even rosewood is getting costly.

[@gojiplusone]

asus recently released the ProArt version of 4080 and 4070 Ti. 300mm length and about 2.5 slots. Perfect for this case.

[@GearSeekers]

ProArt 4080 arrived a day after I filmed this lol

[@TheEpikCrafters]

You should just ignore the 0 effort comments that people leave. Also you did in fact include the CPU cooler name in your previous review! Your review serves as a reference for everyone with the same hardware, but we want to know what affect the standoffs will have and whether there is enough space to keep GPU temps down. Any insights on this?! Everyone judging the case as not fitting ‘enough’ hardware clearly don’t know a thing about the SFF community.

[@MarcoGPUtuber]

Wood is so old-school! So that's why I have the perfect Windows 98 ITX build waiting for it!

[@meteor1522]

The 4090 FE and 7800X3D fit okay, but what about long-term performance and heat issues? You just build the case and test it briefly. The 4090 FE blows out heat from the bottom fan, so there’s very little clearance between the PSU back and the 4090’s exhaust fan. That’s not good for the GPU, and if you flip the PSU, you’re blowing hot air from the GPU into the PSU, very likely damaging it and risking damage to other parts as a result. GamersNexus also said this case isn’t great for high-end parts and is more suited for midrange components.

[@indigomontari9022]

I think this case needs an XL version that adds a few extra inches to the length of the case.

[@wcg66]

Just built in this case last night with a 5600X and a RTX 3070Ti, all worked fine but my custom PSU cables aren’t designed for this case and the cable management is pretty bad. With the case closed you can’t tell though 😊

[@qween2077]

How are you Temps with an air cooler???

[@mrmaniac9905]

is a 13700k possible, with a 4090 FE?

[@mrmaniac9905]

If so, what cpu fans and undervolt and psu?

[@mparagames]

@@mrmaniac9905 it technically is but cooling will be very limited (48mm), the cpu needs to be underpowered and undervolted in order to not throttle, you'll lose cpu performance.

[@ryancondie283]

Given most of the world can't buy FE cards (including us Aussies), I don't think they are a valid answer to "what GPUs can fit in this case?" That's probably why people skill asked.

[@briank3754]

The answer is that the case supports GPUs up to 322 mm. A quick Google search will give you the answer you need.

[@mastersirus1985]

Yes you can install a Ryzen 78003D and a RTX 4090, but what are temps and (bound to be) throttling? That Cooler and limited fan setup can't make for a good recipe. Prove me wrong.

[@neilg97]

watch their review mate - that's exactly what Nick puts in. if its for gaming just go with what he puts in if you have the budget - not everything needs liquid cooling; he uses a modest shuriken 2 on the 7800X3D and temps were decent without an undervolt

[@TheEpikCrafters]

Plenty of proof online which says otherwise, you can deffo fit these parts in and get good temps and no throttling

[@briank3754]

For the small form factor and aesthetics you can do a slight undervolt to reduce heat and have an incredible SFF rig. No one is claiming that this case is going to win any overclocked competitions

[@veydx]

Is it impossible to keep a i9-13900K cool in this case?
