We tested the Fractal Design Torrent in both a synthetic and real-world scenario, in this Fractal Design Torrent case review. These issues occurred with our PCIe cables, wiring up the GPU was difficult with the Ion+ and Torrent pairing. The only negative thing we have to say about the Torrent is the placement of the PSU means we can’t always get enough length to properly rout the cables/hide them well. None of the Torrent feels like it’s going to break if we put pressure on it. The whole case as well as the materials used to construct it feel high quality and very premium. The top-mounted PSU makes for an interesting modem yet retro look, also leaving the bottom of the case free for pure airflow. To start with, there are plenty of cable management options in the Torrent, with cable anchors, grommets, and routing clips littering the rear panel. We’re going to ruin the con section now by saying that there are not a whole lot of “cons” to be found in the Fractal design Torrent. Fractal Design Torrent case review: Pros and cons You’ll never be a miss back here, as you have all the mounting and cable routing basis covered. Not to mention the smooth high-quality grommets used to occupy the routing holes for your main power cables.Īll of these features put together make for a brilliantly well-designed, functional rear panel. You’ll also find many cable management options tucked away at the back of the PC, including a cable channel that runs down the middle and slightly offset to the left, and cable tie anchors everywhere you’d ever need them. The fan hub is also a PWM controller (pulse width modulator) meaning the power and speed at which a fan operates can be independently controlled. Situated at the bottom of the case, you’ll also find a fan hub that has space for up to six fans. Lining the bottom right of the panel, we can observe two fully fledged 3.5-inch bays for all your HDD needs. The junk in the trunk of this case is certainly no junk at all, but four 2.5-inch SSD bays scaling the left-hand side of the rear panel. The back panel of course fits the aesthetic of the rest of the case, but inch per inch has way more functionality than the rest of the Torrent. This is an excellent quality of life implement that ALL PC cases should have regardless of price bracket. There are pre-installed standoff screws along with a supporting pillar in the center of the PC case to support your motherboard as you screw it into the Torrent. Especially if you’ve opted for a smaller ATX motherboard. The Torrent itself can house anything up to an E-ATX motherboard, meaning there’s plenty of room for activities inside the case. The grommets are high quality, well secured, and soft. There are rubber grommets situated around the motherboard plate to allow for the easy routing of cables to the motherboard, the grommets are there to stop there being empty holes in the case. The fully matte black finish accompanied with a small fractal logo printed on the bottom left helps bring even more style and sophistication into the case.
