Feature and system construction
So let’s get straight to the point, the title has already given a hot hint: The entire interior of the Fractal Design Terra can be optionally and infinitely moved for more space on the processor or graphics card side.
For my review here, I opted for a larger CPU cooler in the form of the Noctua NH-L12S for more space to keep the Ryzen 5 3600 from getting too warm.
Nevertheless, my Asus GTX 1060 Strix still finds a comfortable place.
By the way, the assembly of this system was also comfortable, even the cable management was possible without much effort thanks to sufficient space. Thanks to all the removable parts, the Terra manages very well to stay out of its own way. If you like things to be neat and not just functional, you can make even more use of the included cable holders and the various eyelets.
The attentive reader will surely have noticed that while I was able to accommodate my Ion SFX Gold 650W PSU well despite the slightly larger SFX-L form factor, it is somewhat sub-optimally supplied with fresh air.
As with the Fractal Design Ridge, there is a possible problem with the orientation of the power plug, depending on the power supply. It does not fit on this model, for example.
So it’s best to make sure before buying a power supply that there won’t be any last-minute problems at this point. The currently most popular series of SFX power supplies, i.e. the Corsair SF or Cooler Master V-Series, can be used without problems. However, it’s a bit stupid for Fractal Design that their own power supply can only be used in a roundabout way.
In a pinch, you can also use the recommended configuration for graphics cards with a hole in the backplate and install a spacer. Then you give the PSU more possibilities to suck in air. I wouldn’t combine this with the intended use, because you’ll blow the warm exhaust air of the graphics card directly into the PSU.
