Fractal Design Terra Jade

Fractal Design Terra Jade Review & Specifications

The Fractal Design Terra Jade, manufactured by Fractal Design, is a very high-quality PC case designed for Mini-Tower builds. It is constructed from premium-grade steel, aluminium and weighs approximately 3.10 kg. Its aesthetic is characterized by a black finish and features a steel side panel, which adds both style and functionality.

The Fractal Design Terra Jade supports only Mini-ITX motherboards, making it specifically intended for Small Form Factor (SFF) builds. While challenging due to limited internal space, SFF builds appeal to enthusiasts who enjoy compact systems. Power supply compatibility includes SFX units with a maximum supported length of 130 mm. The overall case dimensions are 343 x 153 x 218, offering insight into its spatial footprint.

This case supports medium to large graphics cards up to 322 mm in length, along with CPU air coolers up to 77 mm in height.

This case offers limited cooling support, typically sufficient for low-power or budget builds. With basic fan and radiator options, it's intended for systems that don’t demand intensive thermal performance. For additional details and specific specifications, refer to the section below.

    Additional Information:

    If you wish to use the Terra PCIe 4.0 riser cable together with a PCIe 5.0 compatible motherboard and graphics card, make sure you first set the PCIe Slot Configuration in your motherboard BIOS or UEFI to PCIe Gen4 for best system stability. Motherboard Spine is adjustable, which affects the min/ max GPU width and CPU cooler height. If GPU width is increased, CPU cooler height will decrease and vice versa. The max width of the GPU is also dependent on the height. There are two different scenarios (H<131mm, H>131-145mm). See manual for detailed info.
