This video reminded my why I always use full towers for my builds. I have plenty of room, and I don’t want the headache of using smaller cases. Good effort though, Marcus!
Eh it just depends on what your ambition is. If you're doing a midrange build, ITX becomes much more feasible. I've got a 5600 & an RTX 3070 in my 15L ITX case & don't need to worry about thermals at all. But for me, finding room for a full tower is more of a headache than fiddling with an ITX case for half an afternoon. Plus I have a toddler & don't want my PC hanging around on the floor lol.
i have an itx case because i move around a lot and i can just put my pc in the suitcase with some clothes and my monitor and its all good, never broke anything yet (knock on wood)
I have been using this case for 2 months now. Here are my problems and thoughts. Note: I use the ridge in a horizontal setup in a 28x44cm cupboard. PC Parts: Moded zotac 3080ti trin oc Vram copper mod fan mod, thermalright 3x TL-B9x25mm top side installed 3 80x15mm exhaust fans Pcie 4.0 riser cable because the card isn’t working and has to be used in 3.0. I had to remove the bracket and side panel to fit the riser cable. Cpu amd r7 5700x with Asus strix x570i I had to edit the bios of the board to enable low power mode so the chipset wouldn’t overheat… Cooler - Blackridge with phanteks T30 and Noctua A9x14, since i took off the panel anyway might as well use the beefiest fan set up 🤷🏻♂️ had to remove the main m.2 cover to fit the cooler. Edit: Gpu temps easily hits 83c despite under-volt and cpu at around 80c when gaming after 3hours. UNLESS i fold a piece of paper into an L shape to prevent gpu from intaking hot exhausted air from the top, this alone helped the gpu to never reach 80c. I’ve also slid in another piece of paper separate the gpu and cpu compartment then my gpu always stays below 78c Proved: gpu is sucking back in the hot air vented because of the space restriction of the cupboard. Isolate the intake and exhaust will make a noticeable difference.
@@superdahoho I’m currently using the case with the cpu side panel off. And made plenty of updates to the build. The cooler is alpenföhn black ridge, and im using a phanateks T30 on it. CPU is now 5800x3d I’ve also bent the fram and deshrouded a Zotac AMP Extreme ARIO 4080super to fit in it. Deshrouded and replaced with 2 phanateks T30, under 60c under constant benchmarking. Bought this card instead of the normal sized 4080super because I will switch to a NCORE 100max next month.
i rlly rlly like the idea of this. maybe one that's just a little thicker so you can fit a 2 fan water CPU water cooler as well as some small case fans for the motherboard. My next build is gonna be a small one whenever my 4080 build becomes obsolete!
The ridge can handle up to 70mm CPU fan. the Pure rock is 45mm. You can put a 120x25mm fan and get you to 55mm or even get a Phanteks T30mm. Also, there are a few companies that sell 140mm slim fans. you can go as low as 13mm.
ryzen 5000 downclocks at 75c. you need to get it below that in game to get the full 4450. i downloaded the program pbo2 tuner and set -30 all core to apply on start up and wake up. i game in the 50s with a big air cooler.
Loving the low profile! So what I took from this video... make sure the low profile cooling solution can fit and that you get a 90' power cable for your overkill GPU XD Thanks dude for the vid!
Would the GPU cause a bottleneck for the CPU on this build? Honest question, I know the 5800X is a beast of a CPU, but not sure if bottlenecking would occur.
I think the consensus is that the 5800x3D will perform very close to the highest end CPUs at 4k resolutions or higher, since the gpu is the primary part at work at higher resolution. 13700k and 13900k have shown to have exceeded performance but given the low tdp of a 5800x3D and its 3D v cache(perfect for gaming) its the perfect cpu for itx builds as you'd most likely not be able to cool the higher tdp cpu from AMD or Intel without liquid cooling in a small itx case.
Hi Mr Centric, Im about to build a 4090 Gaming PC but...... i would like to put the 4090 into the Fractal Design Torrent Compact which accepts a GPU max length of 330mm now the 4090 i have bought is 331mm haha. can this be made fit ? Thanks Ross
well you introduce us to buid a computer then give out an adverticement about a laptobp where everyting is built...what should we do? build or buy a laptop? I cant do both becase I dont have the moooney.
My concern is with the horizontal orientation and the GPU being upside down. GPU fans will have to draw heat away blowing down on the table. I wished they provided an option to mount the GPU flipped over with a long PCI riser cable. Both the CPU and GPU would be blown above and out.
seeing this after building my own ITX pc (nr200 so it barely counts), there is so much stress in finding parts that for sure will fit on top of managing cables is a nightmare. If you do not mind a massive headache for the entire process then sure, build ITX. For most people however, mid towers are so much easier and less restricting. An ITX build is just not practical although I do love how it only takes up 40% as much space as my old mid tower. If you insist on ITX just start with the nr200, it's not the easiest thing in the world but with how much space you have, I speculate that it is easier than other smaller ITX chassis.
There can apparently be issues with the pcie riser card in the Ridge when using an AM4 motherboard which might be the cause of the crashes? I had to replace my riser card with a 3rd party cable to get my 7900XTX to work properly with an Asus B550i motherboard. Fractal support are aware and are investigating.
Which riser card did you get for replacement? I've seen this issue on builds with am4 and I'm planning on building on this case and I don't wanna have to deal with the issues.
Fantastic video! Crazy how this actually (almost) fits in this case :D But I can't keep staring at the lightbulb reflection in the C of the PC Centric sign :(
I really want to switch to this case but my 5900X barely hits 70C when benchmarking/editing and 55C around games. RX 6800 hovers around 70C. 5000D Airflow user here.
I have that same Motherboard and i was waiting for someone to use the new Be Quiet Pure Rock LP Cooler to see how it looks and test the compatibility and I really like it. Thanks for the video!
I did a mitx build 6 years a go a recently up graded the psu, GPU (3080ti), RAM and CPU from an i5 to an i7 of the same gen..... Took a well balanced system and made it into a toaster! I now have 4 fans aimed at the case to stop it crashing on over temp!...... it's fine.. i'll cope.. I love the form factor and the power but there needs to be some cleaver innovation or a leap in technology to bring better cooling to these types of systems..
hi mate, considering this for the 9700x and the corsair h60x AIO 120mm. I'm watching the vid, will keep an eye out if this case could take that radiator & fan..
Yea, imma have to go with TAG9217's comment, Dan A4 H20 is "smaller" and have a 13700k/4080 FE in it ... Of course a lil wider compared to Fractal when standing up like a PS5, but better footprint, height on Dan (Plus 240 AIO) .... Fractal not handling my 13700K....
Smallest case that will fit a 4070 and ATX PSU is the D30 Pro, from Sumer Cooling, very very tight fit, but 10.2 litres. There is even a smaller case, around 8.6 litre, but that will only fit SFX PSU and 3070 GPU.
Case looks good but 750w psu is Way too low for a 13900/4080/4090. Pcpartpicker adds up power needs as you build. A 13900/4090 needs a minimum of 950watts to turn on. And that is with zero headroom.
Amazing build over all really loved it.... But one question though is the SFX 750 PS enough to power the 4080... I don't know I feel like the SFX is not gonna give the full power for the 4080... you have a power hungry CPU and GPU and the SFX 750 doesn't look enough .... if you can explain then please do 😁😁
it's not enough. unless you use lower end parts. people don't understand that you shouldn't run a psu at 100% load All the time. this system needed 10000w psu
@@mgaming7 agreed, even 850w is quite struggle in this system , normally better just let the system takes the power of psu around 60-70% at full load , 100% not just psu makes a lot of noise, also it could possibly cause short-circuit

Can someone please advise me on which angled adapter i would need for the 4080 FE in this Fractal Design Ridge case. I am currently building this and would rather not destroy the power cable for the gpu.
I have an 4080 and I can’t get it to work with an sfx 850. When I power on, there’s an transient spike, and that’s as far as it goes. I’m using a separate psu for the time being, until there’s an atx.3 compatible sfx psu.
This case would be perfect with budget build like Ryzen 5 with rx 6600xt would be perfect 🔥(if you could do please do it...I would very much appreciate it ❤️)
have you found what was the issue eventually? I've just sent back my RTX4080 FE after one week of usage because the pc was either freezing or crashing with no video signal. Is yours still working on another build? I'm starting to think these 4080 FE are fragile.
I just did the same with my 4080fe... Asus x570i and same exact issues in a meshlicious with pcie 4 riser cable. Also tried outside the case to skip the riser cable. It eventually stopped outputting video altogether.

I’ve also slid in another piece of paper separate the gpu and cpu compartment then my gpu always stays below 78c
Proved: gpu is sucking back in the hot air vented because of the space restriction of the cupboard. Isolate the intake and exhaust will make a noticeable difference.
