Fractal Terra - My First Ever PC Build 4070 Super (ITX Challenge)

#FractalDesign #FirstTimePCBuild #ITXChallenge #ASUSROG #Noctua #ประกอบคอม #itx

I took on the challenge of building my very first PC, and not just any build—an ITX build, known for being one of the toughest to put together! With zero prior experience, I jumped headfirst into this exciting project using the Fractal Terra case from Fractal Design, a stunning 10.4L small form factor (SFF) case.

To anyone thinking of attempting an ITX build, take your time, plan carefully, and don't be afraid to dive in, even if it's your first time like me!

Build Specs:

Case: Fractal Terra
GPU: Asus Prime OC 4070 Super
CPU: Ryzen 5 7600X
Motherboard: ASUS ROG X670E-I GAMING WIFI (AM5)
RAM: Kingston Fury Beast DDR5 32GB (2x16GB) 5600
NVME M.2: WD BLACK SN850X 1TB
PSU: ASUS ROG LOKI SFX-L 850W 80+ Platinum ATX 3.0
Monitor: HUAWEI MateView GT 34" Curve
Keyboard: ASUS ROG AZOTH Wireless
Mouse: Keychron M3 Wireless
Mic: Fifine AM8
I also added a Thermalright AM5 Secure Frame V2 Black to ensure optimal CPU contact. Every detail matters in a small build!

Why I Chose ITX for My First Build: I wanted a compact, powerful, and aesthetically pleasing setup, and the Fractal Terra delivers just that. The case’s design allows for great airflow despite its size, and the movable motherboard tray made things easier than expected. Plus, who can resist that sleek minimalist design?

Sorry for the lousy colour grading

5:33 I just spent about 2 min watching someone put an SSD into a motherboard and I ain’t complaining lol

Looking to build my first PC after 20+ years and was checking out similar build with the Terra and 4070 Super, but started putting specs down with Intel Core i5 older gen. Will be for gaming only since I do my work on macOS. Definitely saving this to watch again when I'm closer to pulling the trigger.

Well done man, keep up the great work

Interesting choice for a first build ngl. I'm glad it turned out alright

[stevens]

Your first time building? I think you did great. I would never want to build my first time in an ITX because some of them are tricky, but it looks like this Terra is designed well. Beautiful computer.

Great build man! Wanting to do the same with the terra, 4070s prime and 7600x. How is the clearance on the Noctua fan? Do you get the know turbulence sound during gaming?

[RagnarCrumpets]

It’s funny how you buy one of the most overkill expensive motherboard for this case and then chuck a 7600x in it. I would’ve gone for the B650E and then use the extra money to grab a better CPU.

Nice build! How loud is the CPU cooler during gaming?

[monolithsoft_guy]

Nice video. You're air cooling, right? Can you comment on the noise of this build? I read a lot that the Fractal Terra is no the most quiet case. How noisy does it get during idle and during gaming? thx

[CarrierHULK]

Which position did u keep the middle frame?

[hoijamm]

4:19 ur thermal paste a bit too much my brother, a smaller x or dot at pea size is more than enough. other than that, great build! 😄😄

[manofleipe]

7:15 the lower M2 seems a bit bent my brother

[mateoospinaagudelo]

would a 78003dx works well in here with the same cooler?

[MprivetM]

How are the temps and noise level? I plan to build in terra :)

[demon]

How much is the overall build like that?

[t.]

“First” PC builds are humble. What’s this ?

[chibiribiri]

For all those watching this video: Never go for a cpu cooler with a fan ON TOP in the terra. L12S, L12Sx77, L12 GE depending on the gpu.
