About this deal

Glide it to achieve the optimal proportion for your setup, customising the area for CPU cooling on one side and graphics card width on the other.

In the GPU Test, the Terra equaled the best performance temperature performance of any SFF enclosure I’ve tested.It’s important to understand that the numbers we’ll show here are only comparable amongst themselves. With the chassis configured like this, I was easily able to fit a 4080 Founders Edition in the GPU chamber. The only thing I can think of is hooking up two 15mm fans underneath the case to blow air up through the components.

One of the benefits to this is that it allows some of the larger GPUs currently on the market, provided you can use a shorter cooler on the CPU. In our testing, it was best to minimize the space on the GPU side to cut down on warm air recirculation. The ID-Cooling IS-55 cooler I use on this test system has a 57mm height, so I set this to position 5. Slats are more prone to causing fan noise issues due to the angle of entry created – something true of the O11 Dynamic also.

But then I saw the CoolerMaster NCore 100 MAX that was shown at Computex, which I think may be even more attractive. If you’re interested in using a GPU this tall, you’ll need a more flexible individually-sleeved cable or some kind of 90 degree adapter.

The RTX 4080 FE required biasing the spine farther towards the CPU side, reducing the cooler clearance significantly. While it’s a nice inclusion, I feel that more people interested in an enclosure like this will be using the Terra with a full size GPU and one of the better, low profile CPU coolers. Given that the 4070 FE doesn’t totally line-up with the PSU in the Terra, this would likely matter even more with a larger or longer card like a 4080 FE or Gigabyte Aero, and less so with a traditional non-flow-through card like an RX 7900 XT. I've been playing on a prebuilt with a i5-9400F and a GTX 1660 since I switched over to PC gaming 5 years ago, and I finally got around to upgrading just recently.
