Optional front and bottom nylon filters included, allowing the user to prioritize between dust filtering or even higher airflow Personally though this is too big for my taste and hardware needs. I’d like to see this design scaled down to smaller sizes as looks like its really well thought out and I like the design language. Reply Firstly, this is just one chart of many tests, so this isnt the "be all end all" for the case being "Bad GPU temps". My guess has nothing to do with volume of the case or it's materials (Seriously?), but more to do with the airflow principle. air must come in and flow out. those are larger than the radiator in width (40mm) and shorter in height (60mm) and there is a (10mm) gap between the radiator and front panel fans.
torrent case? Anyone building using AIO in the new fracal design torrent case?
either put the 38mm depth radiator inside the 140mm fans panel (in front of the radiator at the right of the last picture), Sorry about the delay. I've taken a few pictures, and still consider making a short death-by-powerpoint-presentation-video of the build. 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.The installation of the components was fairly simple in the Fractal Torrent. The case is spacious enough so that pretty much everything you can throw at it, will fit. In this build, I am using an ATX motherboard with two RTX 3060 video cards and a Cooler Master Hyper Evo 212 air cooler. or put the radiator fans inside the fan panel in push mode and leave the radiator as show in last picture The case itself has next to no cooling via the panels unless they are connected to the cooler via heatpipes or the like.

Does those seems normal results to you ? (No OC planned but the cooler the longer this build will last) While it makes sense to embrace airflow for your components, there would traditionally have been a noise penalty. This just isn’t as high as it once was. I like to live in the past, so let’s think of the sound emanating from your system in the 2000s! But we no longer use 80 mm CPU coolers with 5000 RPM fans, blower-style GPU coolers have become uncommon, SSDs are silent, and HDDs produced today spin in virtual silence. Again, why do we need solid front panels? I am using it with an AIO and it works well. I know a few others who are also using it with AIO with good results. From my perspective, the Torrent case is already intended to be an "over-pressure" design, and I therefore don't see the point in removing or flipping the bottom fans/mesh.
Front Intake is still better for the GPU, because a sufficient high flow of air will push out the hot air faster above adn below the gpu, and stop the GPU fans from recycling the hot air exhaused by the gpu (and yes i know air doesn't get pushed, and that it's heat displacement, but it's easier to explain this way xD) i guess if you got front air flow for the gpu that can mess with the bottom intake. i would think bottom intake would be better then front intake. AL-18 supports PWM functions and has a rotational speed between 300 and 1200 RPM max. And producing 43.1 – 146.8 CFM with 0.44 – 2.50 mmH2O static pressure respectively. Hardware Installation and Clearance Compatibility of the Fractal Design Torrent Case Like your current setup, I only have 2 140mm fans at the bottom, as the tubes/hoses from the AIO and the radiator is obstructing the last slot. Not much of a difference at load with the CPU, obviously. A nice boost to thermals for the GPU inside the high-airflow case, however. The added airflow also helps with component temps at idle, particularly with the zero RPM idle GPU.

What is up with o11 XL being so much better than torrent even tho they have the same gpu cooling system (3 fans at the bottom)? Gross. Poor airflow. Seems this case will suffer from a positive airflow. In hot places like where I am that is not a good thing. Storage support is good with the Torrent, as it offers dedicated mounts for 4x 2.5-inch drives and 2x 3.5-inch drives behind the system. The layout is a little different, however, at least for 3.5 inch drives. the Cooler Master MasterCase SL600M being the king when it comes to gpu air flow as you get 2 massive fans blowing on the gpu. but dose vary pore with a cpu tower cooler and the top is closed off mostly... so an top aio would be ideal in that case and passably mod the top panel. I'm well aware. I believe it's better to be moving hot air out just as fast as pushing cooler air in. Mixing cool air with the hot will not produce optimal results.It seems appropriate to plug the AIO fan into the AIO fan header of your MoBo but there is a single AIO cable to manage both the pump and the radiator fans, I think Arctic (AIO builder) recommends using the CPU fan header. ii think both dust filters on both of of the case should be fine i think? but i think he would remove them for testing?. the GPU averaged 21º when using it to render instead, which is tied for the best result on the chart with the Lancool 2 Mesh and the P500A digital. GPU temperatures were good in the original [torture] test, but the firestrike and blender tests show that when loading the GPU in isolation, the Torrent excels" Should I try to match both of sets of 3 - 140mm fans against similar fan curves ? maybe on the same fan hub ?
Great Deal
