If you want to put in a disposable clc, then get another case, and Fractal has radiator-friendly cases that are cheaper. ports, one USB Type-C port, discrete headphone and mic jacks, along with power and reset switches – all quite standard, though fairly complete. One, I felt déjà vu when opening the top panel to install the PSU up there, just as with my old Temjin TJ08-E. With meticulous planning, some black tape and a proper setup exhaust fans are unnecessary outside small form-factor builds. Cases like this have been done in the past with success, and when you have people like Steve from GN advocating for cases with good airflow performance and teaching people why that is important, then it's kind of hard to go wrong unless the company is out of touch.

The case is quiet when running and occasionally you may hear the fan ramp up a bit but not to the point is an annoying sound. Fractal’s Torrent is a much more traditional design, though it does offer the modern “open layout” for components.Starting with the exterior, the chassis has a very aggressive look, with a striking front mesh panel and glass panels on both sides. If you are extremely careful with the case then you would not have to worry about blemishes or marks.

End-game is a Sigma 6 accuracy-like AI Super-Computer Real-TIme Fluid Dynamics Simulation of all possible combinations of hardware in a "closed" system (case), for cheap available to everyone with a intuitive UI where u can just move stuff around in AR, and get instant temps for a chosen game/scenario+climate+ambient temp/time-frame. What's probably happening is the combination of not exactly stellar static pressure and than first of the 3 fan closest to the front, translates into weird flow around the gpu, and the gpu recycles it's own air before it can escape out the back fast enough (hence removing PCI-E brackets, to see if that helps with transfering the heat out of the nearby air. This isn’t Fractal’s fault, just a realization since it’s 2022 and power supply cables are still girthy. Cable management in the Torrent Compact made me realize something: The 24-pin motherboard power cable needs to go on a diet. This is because the PSU resides at the top, and the chassis’ cooling system is centered around the intake at the front and bottom.The CPU cooler in this build is the Cooler Master Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition, which is just fine for a 125W TDP CPU, but inadequate for one of these Intel CPUs with no power limits and infinite 200+ watt power draw. With three bottom-mounted 120mm fans and two front-mounted 180mm fans, Fractal’s new Torrent enclosure is designed to offer gamers peak airflow to ensure that their systems are as cool as possible. The good news here is that you don’t need to run the fans at full speed when gaming – with this much thermal headroom, it’s easy to optimize for a quiet fan curve that offers just enough cooling. Also worth mentioning on the topic of new releases: the much appreciated PSU Ion Platinum receives a welcome update in with its new incarnation Ion 2 Platinum.

Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page. The Torrent adds another high-airflow option to Fractal’s lineup, and while they have long been known for the excellent Define cases this is the company behind the Meshify series – so clearly they are no strangers to the power of airflow.TVwazhere Yes, airflow performance is only there if a case flows out (exhaust), as much air as it flows in (and the fans on the CPU+GPU are in sync with the intake and exhaust fans (not exact RPM, but just not going too much faster or too much slower). And the front 2x Noctua intake is paramount for a standardized proper methodology, but while it make work good in one case with one GPU, it probably won't in another.

Eventually things were sufficiently compacted to get the rear panel closed, and I appreciate that both side panels can optionally be screwed into place (snap-only solutions for a rear panel are asking for trouble sometimes).

There is room to lower GPU temps by 3-10 degrees in almost any situation, and only with soft modding without altering the case permanently.
