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.

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.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. KitGuru says: The Fractal Terra might not suit every PC spec but it's a very good-looking, compact mini-ITX case that will support high-end hardware and looks like the ideal option for a living room media PC, or any other use you can think of. 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.

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.

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.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 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.
