Fractal is absolutely killing it with these new designs. 🔥

[@quantum5661]

fractal is rapidly becoming my favorite case company. they have nas cases, regular cases, and smol cases, what more could a man want?

[@LordManhattan]

Yeah, got a North in late december, and it's fantastic. It's a piece of furniture and not an RGB spaceship for teens.

[@ozzierobmorales]

I have the north and somehow I am still looking for a way to justify another fractal case. That says something.

[@netiturtle]

price is unfortunately based on lack of competition in the segment. They just need to undercut Dan case, a challenge only for Apple

[@LaDeXi]

I just wish they'd make improved Define 8. Keep the HDD mounting system from 7 but remove the stupid PSU shroud and bring back moduvents from R5 with side fan slot. And make 5.25" bay modular so it can be put either on top or bottom. Thus making it possible to install big rad on top while still having optical drive.

[@anthonyshiels9273]

[@Sonyboj]

[@peoplez129]

Fractal was killing it with the Node 304 more than a decade ago, and it's still one of the best mini ITX cases in existence. It won't fit a 4090, it's not the smallest, but it'll fit a 2 slot GPU and a 140mm exhaust and even a full sized PSU if your GPU is short enough, along with at least 4-6 drives, a full height CPU cooler, and has mesh intakes that keeps the dust out. And built like a tank. With room to tuck cables. The main benefit though is it's wider than it is tall, so no chance of accidentally knocking it over. It's also one of the best minimalistic cases, that can just sit on a desk and not offend the eye. It's a design you don't get bored of because of how neutral it is, so it doesn't suffer from changing trends. And the top of the case can still be used as desk space. You can put it right on the back corner edge of a desk and not have to worry about it being knocked off, which allows better use of the rest of the desk space. The only downside today is that GPU's have gotten soo big, you're not putting anything bigger than a 4070 in it. I've been running my CPU's max overclocked on air 24/7. Basically it's a case for if you don't want to compromise on heatsink size or cooling or drive space and have all the benefits of a full sized tower in a smaller package. And it's also a pretty silent case, the case itself dampens noise because it's not full of slits everywhere, so silent fans are even more silent. Even a 140mm AIO cooler would be more silent than normal. You'll still get dust build up on fans over time, but pretty much nowhere else, so once in a while you just clean the meshes and wipe down the fans and blow a bit of air here and there to get the dust out. Much easier to clean than other cases. No dust caking up on motherboard components.

This looks great. I built my first PC in the Fractal Ridge a few months ago and now I'm a huge Fractal fan. They made it so easy to build in and the manual was spot on. Also the Ridge is my baby and dream PC, keeping it for hopefully 10+ years.

[@Mischala]

More Adam, please and thank you. Small form factors are getting so interesting.

[@vinyfiny]

You can use an ID-Cooling IS-47-XT, Apenfohn Black Ridge, or Thermalright AXP90-X47 in max GPU mode assuming your motherboard and RAM are compatible. They should provide better cooling vs an L9a/L9i and the ID-Cooling and Thermalright are cheaper as well.

[@behnamkeshavarz7884]

@2:56 Actually "Gull-wing Door" was initially pioneered and used by Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, first as a race car in 1952 (W194), and then as a production sports car in 1954.

[@reccatyo]

Whenever someone said gullwing, the first thing that comes to mind for me is Mercedes not Tesla

[@taggerung890]

I love the console form factor but this case looks so beautiful, i might convert

[@KoolAidManOG]

Its basically a less expensive and more mass market version of the Formd T1, but without the options for a 240mm AIO radiator or dual fan exhaust on the top. I do like how inexpensive and accessible the Fractal Design is, but if one is willing to drop the extra cash and maybe wait on availability then there's no doubt in my mind that the T1 is the better case. The T1 has insanely good thermal design for something just under 10L.

[@SinisterSkyler]

would have liked to hear it run a stress test to ensure noise levels are optimum

[@esaedvik]

Fun fact: there are no Teslas with Gullwing doors.

[@AHarmlessPyro]

Not as pretty, but try the a4 h20. It's about 11L (so slightly larger than the terra), but has a 240mm rad spot and triple slot card space.

[@frykauf]

Love that they made even there power button green. Looks so sharp, and supportingly compliments the dark wood.

[@Manulajes]

I know this might be too late, but the SSUPD never made it to LTT channels despite being probably the best designed SFF case. 14L and only slightly more expensive than 18L NR200

[@Adam.B4255]

The green works with the wood the best, but an all matte black would be epic

[@prateekpoddar1890]

Love that Fractal has cases for both RGB nerds and wood-accent/pastel color geeks. Wish more case manufacturers would take a cue from them.

[@justinpritchard2633]

I just got this case last week and I did try the same cooler he used in this video but the tempts were really bad even with a 5600x. I swapped it out today for the Noctua NH-L9x65 and things are much better. One other thing, I almost never use the badges or stickers that come with my computer components, but I could not help putting the brown Noctua owl badge that came with the cooler. Goes really well with the green and wood accents.

[@georgwarhead2801]

i think a 7600 or 7700 65w cpu would be a better choise for this form factor in therms of temps. even with a 5600x limited to 65 watt you dont loose performance ( somthing in the 2% range )

[@vinhngo1894]

I just built my girlfriend’s PC a few days ago in this case. I found it to be more air cooling focused. The adjustable spine really is innovative and allowed me to fit a Noctua NH-L12 ghost, which is very impressive.

[@dtemp132]

Surprised you were even able to get it a couple days ago, it was announced like a week ago! Did you need the Ghost version because of RAM height? Do you think you could have done the non-ghost NH-L12S if you got short-height RAM sticks?

[@NyxaraYT]

@@dtemp132 Yeah if you had low-profile RAM you could use the standard NH-L12S without issue. If you have anything taller or any RGB you'd need to use the ghost.

Awesome looking case, now let's see Alex and Tynan turn it into the toaster it was designed to be.

You could probably find that thin filter screening in sheets and cut out your own filters. Wouldn't initially be removable and easy to clean, but it might help. And if you can find it in black, that would look sick as an underlay on the green.

[@dfuh062]

It looks like a great case but it is a bummer that it doesnt fit a 240mm rad

Nice video, the only thing I have to add: Gullwing doors is not a Tesla feature, it was first on the Mercedes Benz 300 SL in 1952 and have been used by various manufacturers since

[@netiturtle]

14:35 Fractal has foam fan duct kit for this CPU cooler, you can stack them against the outer wall, so it pulls only cold air from outside. No need for another case fan

[@donfrankie]

Higher power delivery on the front panel USB-C would either require a new standard to be implemented on motherboards, a daughter card (not likely on this form factor) or some kind of box with cables to both the front connector and the power supply.

[@ProfessorFAQ]

There are some watercooling solutions for your request: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2jaZ6GwbMaJiqM Fractal Terra's layout is copied from the model FormD T1 (wich is even a bit smaller), FormD ''invented'' this kind of case.

[@peoplez129]

Yeah it really needs dust filters. I wouldn't ever run a case without them, because it's just soo much easier to rinse off the dust filters and put them back on. Although I think you can easily make your own, especially if you have a 3D printer. Although it should be included at this price point.

[@420Cris]

​@@peoplez129Especially with how many tiny nooks and crannies there are in such a compact case, I'd imagine even with a dusting every month or so there'd still be areas that get so caked you can't easily clean it. The price is actually pretty low for an SFF case though, many around this size are $250+ and very limited supply, mostly due to the R&D it takes to cram components so tight together and many of the companies making them are far smaller than Fractal is.

One thing I will say is I don't recommend facing the PSU fan to the back of the GPU, It doesn't really make a difference for the GPU and it just puts unnecessary strain on the PSU... Instead, avoid flow-through style cards if you can or try to create an air gap between the GPU and PSU and have a fan that helps direct air out

[@ABaumstumpf]

USB power delivery really isn't that important as phones and controllers only have small batteries. For reference: Most phones have battery capacity in the range of 3000-4000mAh (stupid way of writing it) so 11-15 Wh, game controllers usually have a smaller battery. Normal USB 3 delivers 4.5 W. So that would take about 3 hours to fully charge your phone - and being way better for the battery.
