Fractal Design Torrent Compact Black - Dark tint tempered glass side panels - Open grille for maximum air intake - Two 180mm PWM fans included - Type C - ATX Airflow Mid Tower PC Gaming Case

Product Information

The original Torrent is a large case, this Compact is medium sized and the Nano is fairly tiny so it seems that Fractal Design has covered all the bases. This isn’t Fractal’s fault, just a realization since it’s 2022 and power supply cables are still girthy. Or in other words, bolting on a bigger faster fan doesn't necessarily make it cooler; learned this the hard way many years ago! Selbst bei Cyberpunkt 2077 mit vollen Details auf einer 4070 Ti und einem Ryzen 7700 ist der Rechner mit diesen Einstellungen praktisch nicht zu hören und die Temperaturen sind stabil. Our acoustic test consists of three scenarios: We run the CPU at full load, the CPU and GPU at full load and an optimized idle.

For cooling, the Fractal Torrent ships with two front-mounted 180mm intake fans and three bottom-mounted 140mm intake fans. Other than the PSU-at-the-top layout, the five included fans is one of the Torrent’s main highlights. I like also how the glass door open they simply swing down and out, and if you have chunky cables sticking out a little you can close and put in screw at the top, for just a little added assurance that the glass won't open and shatter. Because the graphics card we’re using is long, a clean, swooping air path is interrupted due to the slim distance between the front fan and GPU.Especially because it has roundish edges, and the power supply is at the top so there's no black bar around the bottom of the case like other brand designs. Je ne comprend juste pas l'utilité d'une vitre sur le panneau arrière, on voit les câbles et ça n'apporte rien à part du poids et des risques de casse. Ora, considerando che la mia mb ha due slot ssd (oramai molto diffusi) sul retro posso tenere 3 ssd-sata, con possibilità di averne altri due tramite adattatore al posto dello slot per hdd da 3.

Inside the box, you’ll find the accessories kit and the Torrent Compact tucked away inside hard Styrofoam shells. Fractal’s Torrent offers PC builders a new external aesthetics, a new airflow pattern and top-mounted PSU positioning. For this review, we received the Torrent Compact with RGB in black and the lightly tinted glass panel.Better yet is the fact that this chassis is designed to run quietly, delivering ample airflow to users without resorting to jet engine-like fan speeds.

On the other hand, if you love the look of the Torrent family you have to think that things are looking pretty darned great. For the optimized mode, we run the GPU fan speed at 30 percent and run the CPU and included case fans at their lowest speed. L'emplacement de l'alimentation est un peu déroutant et fait que le centre de gravité est assez haut.You can screw the panels in on top of the case, which I had to do for the rear/right side panel, to hold the cable bulk in. Molti si sono lamentati della diffilcoltà di posizionare i cavi nella zona alle spalle della MB, ma sinceramente è bastato metter bene i cavi che grazie alle numerose possibilità di fermarli sia con fascette a strappo sia con le tradizionali da elettricista, non è stato difficile.

I ended up doing 3 120mm fans in the front that also hold my liquid cooler and I put the 180mm fans laying flat at the base of the case. The new Compact model, as its name implies, squishes things down a bit, but not by a massive amount.

Avec ce Fractal Torrent Compact, on retrouve toutes les qualités du Torrent premier du nom à savoir un boitier extrêmement qualitatif, avec un châssis efficace et une ventilation qui permettra un excellent refroidissement des composants. The chassis comes with two 180mm, 38mm thick fans installed at the front of the case, along with three 140mm spinners at the bottom for more intake.The rest of the top panel is barren, thanks in large part to the power supply’s mounting location at the top rear of the case just like the original Torrent. We couldn’t fit our EK 240mm D-RGB AIO in the front since we’re using a Gigabyte RTX 3070 Ti Gaming OC, which is 12. We are confident the better approach is to leave the 180mm fans alone, perhaps add an exhaust fan in the rear, and stick a simple air cooler on the CPU.
