Liquid TERRA! Custom Loop High End SFF Build

We take the very popular Fractal Design Terra and create a one of a kind custom loop. Yes you may say we "cheated" with going external but there is absolutely no way to fit enough cooling internally in this chassis for modern hardware.
For the external enclosure we used the Barrow Dual 240 Radiator Box. This unit was modified quite a lot to add the 3 holes for the screen and custom fan grills made by ‪@JCustom‬. Shout-out to PPCS for sponsoring this unit.
I'll most likely do a mod video about this project as I'd like to go into more details on
- Temps,
- Powering the rad box (XLR)
- Single USB-C from Rad box to PC
- Everything inside the Rad box - rads, pump
es, USB hub, USB video card, LCD screen, Octo
- Custom walnut accent pieces
- -6AN Stainless Steel braided flex hose

[@dorianeroars666]

when you're into hardware and beautiful builds, this one is definitively a turn-on.

[@johndawson3655]

Now this is the sickest build that I have ever seen. Kudos to you guys!

[@nickcifarelli8887]

I gotta Hand it to you Stuart, honestly, your build quality and also your video production design, camera work and editing is easily the best in the business. Only Optimum Tech comes close to replicating your edit and video production design. I watch every one of your videos and you are a god amongst us mere mortals.

[@GGFEvents]

Thank you for the kind words

[@justice002]

This channel is like the Mr. Matt Lee of air builds.

[@GGFEvents]

@@justice002 just a little bit more work involved 😉

[@sachak]

This is possibly the most beautiful build I have ever seen! Those steel braided hoses and colour combo in general are just incredible looking.

[@harisjaved1379]

Bro at this rate, you guys will be the only absolute water cooling pc build champions!

[@andrei-n7]

Really great video, as always! Personally, I would prefer to just go mATX and fit all of the components in one case, instead of basically 2 ITX cases.

[@Johnny2Gats]

With this particular build I agree. Only time I would do this is if I was running a massive radiator like a mo-ra or something like dual 480mm that wouldn’t fit inside

[@YURii_____]

coolermaster np200p max is awesome, it comes with aio cpu watercooler and powersupply for 300$. one of my friends had it. i just went bulky and versitile with a NZXT H9.

[@Yukeena]

one of the sickest builds I have ever seen. Beautiful. I want to do something like this, but with the black terra.

[@rodhester2166]

I always watch your videos on full screen to take it all in. The editing was on point along with the build. Down the the music and screws being removed together.. details are always carefully planned .. awesome.

[@-fivehead-]

I can't wait to see your deep dive into the external radiator housing along with wiring.

[@ecl1pse132]

This is breath taking honestly I can't describe how perfect this thing is.

[@sjzafrani]

I mean this cool, no doubt…. But defeats the purpose of the case. I was hoping for a completely contained build. Incredible work, nonetheless

[@PosmaPrimaN]

I think Optimum Tech mentioned that the terra won't support for self contained waterloop. But you should check his channel as he made a full waterloop in a similar sized case which is just an ITX masterpiece

[@F41LZZz]

'defeats the purpose' yeah its not meant to support custom watercooling. If that rocks your boat GGF did an amazing system here which fits within the confines of the super small mini itx case kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5zLZYBvjNChbZo. it is highly, no extremely compromised. This build in the terrai is all about 'eat your cake and have it too.' extremely high end hardware, performing at spec, quietly. If you don't want to see the rad box, extend the tubing put it under the desk. Sacrifices portability and practicality BUT its a hardline watercooled system so yeah... that was already out the window. its a work of flipping art. very much a panicle of why not? It doesn't need to make sense

[@shiddygaymer]

If it doesn't need to make sense it begs the question of why the product needs to exist in the first place

[@PosmaPrimaN]

@@shiddygaymer it's made for air cooled ITX, not water cooled. And with it being aircooled, it's actually very decent and highly recommended by a lot of reviewers

[@F41LZZz]

​@@shiddygaymer does it beg the question? why do you schools exist? think of all the wasted time and money spent on you, so you can be make this stupid comments on YT

[@felipeprenholato2301]

It's really nice work, but IMHO defeats all the purpose of small sff build with Terra. Maybe some adaptation making the Terra taller with 240mm radiators on bottom and top would work well with some distro plate for the sides, but I guess that there is better SFF cases for this :).

[@gilou275]

Another fantastic video to give us a glimpse of another piece of art you made ! Can't get enough of it ! Thank you for sharing your journey with us !

now let's wait for mold to set in the loop and call it "Terrarium"

[@Safetytrousers]

I've never been more excited to see 8 screws get removed. 5:57. Great video Bravo

[@azvnoit]

The "cheat" was definitely worth it and can be given a pass. This build is magnificent. The pastel teal with wooden accent, the silver fittings and tubes, exceptional.

[@GGFEvents]

Thank you

[@theOzee]

How brilliant, love the external cooling solution, also yawls part breakdowns are legit, answered every question I have!

[@PlantainSupernova]

I saw this teaser in the previous video. Was looking forward to it. It did not disappoint!

[@fabitretter9688]

This is an awesome continuation of the ITX external cooling setup, glad to see that this genre got carried on from the phanteks shift xt build

[@jctwinturbo2010]

You're the first I see attempting this madness... and I love it.

[@GGFEvents]

Thank you

Now I am considering buying a 2nd NZXT H1 and use the first one as a heat dissipation device...

[@DireBowser]

The reservoir being separate from the main pc is very striking and I am in love with it.

[@AB-bu8ti]

When you start to wonder where the rads are, then guitar solo starts, and then companion case shows up? CHILLS.

[@minibotpc]

Ooof reminds me of the Dan A4 H2O build i did 2 years ago with a MORA360. Looks awesome!

[@RobertBIrish]

Incredible Build

[@chazparker2488]

This matches my Alex drawers soo well. The build that I wanted, became the build I NEEDED!

[@GeorgioSubs]

If the "cheat" was just tubes going into the nether and we never see the rads then it wouldn't be a great build. But the external cooling is executed so incredibly well that I'm actually considering copying you. This is absolutely gorgeous. Well done!

[@GGFEvents]

Thank you. Yes I didn't want to just slap on a mora rad like most do and call it it a day. I wanted something more pleasing and functional

[@B1ZZnice]

Yes!! This was why I wanting to know about mixing fluids, trying to match or get close to the wood tone. I’ve seen bourbon theme PCs with clear brown fluid that doesn’t look awful. I like the quick connect tube connector and sleeving. I was wanting to have that look but instead of stainless steel in all black or black stainless steel. This is truly awesome though, love the green and wood and you staining the accent, you’re definitely giving me some ideas! The reservoir is going to be the biggest pain in the north though, I like the water box with this though

[@damon2974]

Me thinking someone finally figured out and within 5 minutes realizing I need a metal fab shop :D. Serious though. This looks amazing.

[@Andrew-cp7mc]

This is something else! Fantastic artistry. 😲

[@GGFEvents]

Thank you

[@Sundaymov]

Very cool build! been keen to see how someone would watercool this case :D Nailed it!

[@mannyc19]

Reminds me of Robert Williams and his Hot Rodding from the 50s and 60s,onwards. Brilliant build.

[@booyaaaaaaa]

Epic dude. External cooling is the way IYKYK

[@spuchoa]

Efing amazing build, and the OST `chef kiss`

[@hjshoon5244]

Having the radiators cooled in a separate external case defeats the purpose of having a sff case like this fractal. Might as well go with a case with higher volume and can fit everything into it

[@phantomflame0658]

Kind of I think the better idea is to run the lines across the room or to a different room in the house so you just have the Terra on your desk and the radiator somewhere else. I personally would just go for a MORA or similar to get max cooling.

[@unknowntechio]

I can't take away the awesomeness of your builds including this one but this exposes the weakness of the Terra. The limited room within that chasis for Fans/Radiator etc is why this case, too me, is only really built for air cooling. Everyone seems to be going crazy over this case when the FormD T1 has been out for a couple of years now including the latest version which provides many more options in configurations etc. If ya ask me, only the wood look is what's nice about this case, outside of that, there are much better options. Outside of my opionion here on the case itself, the build is amazing!

[@roberthelcher2884]

I love this build. I have reconsidering an external water loop.

[@playwaresfall]

OMG !!! Art of Art

[@GetShrektMrKrabs]

I've seen just about every single one of your build videos and this is my favorite out of them all. True masterclass at display. The ability to innovate and create in small cases is the future of PC's. One thing I would've done different for sake of stability would be to add some AF-10's(40x10 fans) so that passively cooled components that would typically have airflow from a cpu air cooler or case fans would be cooled. Other than that, it's perfection. Ik this was sponsored by bitspower but some EK lignum fittings would've been sick too 😂

[@HeinekenLasse]

I don't understand how you manage to improve your productions over and over

[@TheEquinoxeHD]

I was wondering how are you going to solve watercooling in this case but the last thing I expected was to build another case for it... Hard to call it SSFPC at this point, although kudos for good execution.

[@meangczac194]

Yes. No point really. But a pretty sick build really. 😂

[@joseberroa4935]

[@andyloo7132]

Just a quick question, how does the hot air disperses from the tower radiator? Is there a bottom fan to push the hot air to the top?

[@techgirl517]

A another episode of "Pure PC Art" ❤️ My next build will be something similar, liquid cooled with a external pump/radiator combo.

Looking forward to the follow up video. I built myself a custom radbox, inspired by your previous MORA build. More of an external frame. 2x 360 rads side by side in an ALU2020 frame. The sort of frame designed for external mITX builds. Its great and I love the idea. I have a loop temp sensor plugged into an ancient fan controller that will need an upgrade when I do the mitx build. Torn between Corsair Commander XT or an AQUA Octo. Need some advice there. Unfortunately shipping AQUA gear to Australia is expensive. Would love to hear your words on the Barrow Rad box too. Beautiful as always mate.

I was looking for a cooling solution for my terra build and found ur sick build, thats far away from my skills xD.

[@Skyfysh]

I’d love to see a video going into more detail about the builds modifications. I love the case, but the heat generated is too much over longer sessions. Doing an external solution seems cool.

[@MrLincoln87]

That's actually pretty cool. Would have been neeeear impossible, but I would have liked to have seen a rad in the main case even a 120. Just enough to run it.. maybe slow and loud, maybe to take it to a LAN. Then when at home, hook it back up to the external rads for that maximum cooling/quiet/overclock.

[@joanhernandezciriza3797]

you have been gyming. I like that

[@Glerox]

you are a genius! the external rad enclosure fitting with the case is true art! I just finished a Sff build with an rtx 4090 and my slim 30x240 rad is clearly not enough… how do you make your plastic pieces for passtrough fittings? 3d print?
