We have chosen the RTX 3070 graphics card for this system with 8GB of ultra fast GDDR6 memory, to tear through effects and make your editing process run optimally. Since removing side panels makes little to no difference in thermal performance, fan speeds are neither increased nor decreased so noise levels also remain stable when changing the case configuration. Again this is a good sign that the ventilated panels are doing their job efficiently and the case is able to cool the hardware sufficiently. Closing Thoughts

To simulate thermal demand we run the Cinebench R23 multi-thread benchmark and 3DMark Time Spy stress test simultaneously in a loop for 60 minutes to fully load the system. This gives the CPU and GPU enough time to reach constant steady-state temperature. With this data, we can compare how the system handles the thermal demand and measure peak noise levels. Dual storage design taking advantage of the high performance 2TB NVME SSD helping to boost performance and response time and a huge amount of HDD storage to the amount of 4TB. The case is primarily designed with CPU air cooling in mind but it is possible to install a 120mm radiator or AIO inside the Terra. Motherboard Spine is adjustable, which affects the min/ max GPU width and CPU cooler height. If GPU width is increased, CPU cooler height will decrease and vice versa. The max width of the GPU is also dependent on the height. There are two different scenarios (H<131mm, H>131-145mm). See manual for detailed info.

Find your build’s ideal balance with 30 mm of internal flexibility provided by a stepless, movable central wall. Slide to strike the best ratio for your build, adapting the space for CPU cooling on one side and graphics card width on the other. Exterior styling features anodised aluminium in a choice of three different colours combined with a small Walnut trim panel that houses the power button and front I/O, giving the case a unique and sophisticated appearance. DDR4 RAM, ideal for editing in 4k for lengthily and complex content that can be processed without issue. Even though the Fractal Terra may not offer great support for AIOs or water-cooling radiators and huge graphics cards… it’s no detriment to the case. I would never expect this case to be used as a base for a main gaming PC or high-end editing rig, it's more ideally suited to a media PC or casual living room gaming rig that sits under a TV unit, so its compact size and hardware support is ideal for this type of scenario. The BeQuiet Pure Base 500 chassis is the perfect choice for this unit allowing for ample storage additions and superior cooling capacity - not to mention the bitumen and foam inner lining to help with noise dampening.

Even though it is extremely compact with its skinny dimensions and small 10.4L capacity, Terra allows users to install three-slot graphics cards up to 320mm long which means you can play PC games on your 4K TV with ease, while keeping the small and sophisticated looks that will fit your living room space. Taken as a whole the Fractal Terra is a very good mini-ITX case. Its compact design means it will likely fit in any space while the stylish looks should appeal to anyone looking for a new small media PC case that can sit in the living room and not look out of place. The modest hardware support should be enough for most users, but if you want a mini-ITX and an RTX 4090 you need to look elsewhere – for everyone else, it's more than enough.Fractal Design Terra is an extremely compact mini-ITX chassis with a capacity of just 10.4L, the case measures just 343mm x 153mm x 218mm (LxWxH) so it sits towards the smaller end of the mini-ITX scale which is fine because that surely is what mini-ITX is all about. Fractal has chosen a combination of wood and anodised aluminium for the exterior of the Terra with an internal chassis frame made from steel.

The solid walnut front panel features an aluminum power button and two USB ports for connecting devices, including one USB Type-C 20Gbps. It has been a while since my last proper case review, and even longer since I last looked at a new SFF chassis, so when Fractal Design got in touch to say they had a new highly compact mini-ITX case ready to launch… I was very eager to take a look. The Fractal Terra combines a tiny 10.4L small form factor with Scandinavian design elements and the ability to cram in high-end hardware. But can this new compact ITX case from Fractal deal with the current hardware demands and is it an improvement on what came before it? Let’s find out. GPU temperature on the other hand is excellent. Even when case side panels are removed the temperature remains consistent so the heavily ventilated panels are doing their intended job, which is good news for cooling.

In its default configuration, the Fractal Terra produces thermal results as we would expect, the CPU temperature is a little on the high side but that’s due to the ultra-low profile CPU cooler used. The case will allow for the installation of larger coolers, but the CPU temperature is still within AMD limits. A central moveable motherboard spine allows users to adjust space between compartments to increase space for dedicated graphics cards or taller CPU coolers.
