The Terra uses thick metals all over, up to 8mm in some spots, on both the outer panels and steel internals. Performance is indicative of the above configuration and may vary depending on the options you select in the unit. We’d prefer to see an alternate solution that doesn’t turn the entire door panel into a lever against such a small plastic part.

GPU is only hitting 65°C under load and is mostly staying under 55°C when gaming, although I haven't upgraded my monitor from 1080p/144Hz yet. I was still a bit concerned about the difficulties of getting a full system into such a small enclosure. Inspired by the homes of modern gamers, Terra incorporates boutique design features such as thick panels cut from anodized aluminum, CNC-milled details and sustainably sourced solid walnut. In the CPU test, the temperatures were not the best I’ve measured in an SFF enclosure, but they were not unreasonably high and did not reach the point of Thermal throttling (100 C).Cards with a flow-through area on the cooler are naturally going to benefit from having lowered airflow restriction, which both alternate PSU installations help with.

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. A cookie set by YouTube to measure bandwidth that determines whether the user gets the new or old player interface.

I was unable to determine if this panel is plastic, or if there was some other reason for the color variation. Now if only the rest of the market would get a clue so we can move on to actually good looking cases in sizes that are not ITX.

At 77mm of CPU cooler clearance, coolers like the Noctua NH-L9x65 would fit at 65mm or the DeepCool AN600 at 67mm (which is what we used).

Building my first ever SFF and wanted to know if this one would work ok or is there any component I should change. Fractal’s webpage for the Terra says, “make the most of natural airflow through the ventilated top, side, and bottom panels.The main discussion point in the video is that mini-ITX cases are impossible to review in a fully standardized way without shorting some of the cases. Last Updated: 2023-11-09 The Fractal Terra Mini-ITX case was the first through our revamped suite of ITX reviews. Maximum thickness has some caveats, and depends on both the spine position and the height of the GPU. New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging . Looks nice, performs good, I prefer the stamped, pressed, and brushed AL look like those of Lian Li but this is still nice.
