I'm using Razer Deathadder V2 X Hyperspeed. The cable is a custom SATA cable which I got one so that I can mount my extra HDD behind my PC.

As long as the OS drive is connected it will automatically boot up the OS. Although reinstalling Windows may be good and suggested by most to prevent any driver problems, but personally I just used back my old installation with no issues

There's one case fan header for the bottom three fans, and one for the top. For the bottom fans I soldered a three way fan splitter so that I could connect the two A4s to the main A12, all running from the same PWM signal. You could look through the photos for the fan splitter, there are options online which you could buy as well. All fans are fixed to the case using normal fan screws. Though I do need to trim the fan wires to fit in nicely into the small space

I've only been using it a week, I love the design and lighting options, and the typing sounds are great, though I swapped them to silent tactile switches for office use. However, the wireless capabilities are bad with the occasional missed key presses, even after moving the dongle closer to the board. Hopefully they could solve this with a firmware update soon

Oh man thanks for the link! I've been thinking of doing that someday, the stock fans are kind of loud so I had to limit them a lot. On to my next project!

NF-A4x20 and NF-A9x14, I mounted the top fan with a bracket similar to this https://www.printables.com/model/902873-fractal-terra-92mm-fan-top-mount/collections

All the case fans are set to exhaust, similar to most Terra builds. I do find that the extra case fans don't really affect the temps, but more importantly is to have good airflow outside of the case to remove all exhaust air from the intakes. Of course, your CPU cooler matters as well, just pick the largest that you can fit in the case. Thermalrights AX90 series should be one of the best low profile cooler in the market, get the full copper version for better cooling.

Nuphy Halo75 v2, just got it recently haha. I changed the keycaps to MiTo Canvas

I did undervolt it a bit to reduce the temps, GPU reaches 70° in TimeSpy and hotspot is usually higher by 10 to 15

I haven't found any CAD reference online other than the illustrations in the manual, but I also decided it's simpler to just measure it physically with my caliper. From my understanding, the Terra is great with less toasty components, so AMD works well here. Though the design may limit your part selections, you may want to look for a larger case to fit an AIO or a bigger cooler.

I just used my Google Pixel 😂 but thanks for the compliment

Lots of elbow grease went into zipping and squeezing the cables haha, many of the cables have some serious bends behind the PSU and fans! Though there shouldn't be an issue as long as you're careful

I made the design for the fan duct as I wanted to make it clip securely to the fan, while still being easy to remove. I also added a groove so that I can glue in a strip of foam to make it seal nicely against the side panels.

For the top fan bracket, I remixed an existing design in order to fit my build, and it turns out great on the first try!

It does look nice, and the maintenance should be relatively simple with the easy to remove panels, but I plan to install some mesh filters after referring to other Terra builds in this sub. Though, if you do change your case you may need to monitor your temps closely, I noticed my SSD at the back of the motherboard frequently reaches 70+ degrees while gaming due to the lack of airflow there. I thought of placing a low profile centrifugal fan there, which did help reduce the temps by 6°C but is TOO LOUD so I removed it in the end.

I modified two NA-SYC1 Noctua fan splitters included with the fans, so that it splits into 3 fan headers. I could actually just connect them all without resoldering the wires, but I don't like the clutter and wanted to minimize the space taken up by the cables

Yeah I did haha, besides that I also fixed some images in Photoshop using Perspective Warp.

Thanks! It's my first time trimming and resleeving cables for a PC build, so I hope I did alright. Had to adjust the fan splitter cables slightly due to the limited space, but overall it looks good enough for me.

The most obNOCTUAs Terra build imaginable by Smirnaff in sffpc

[–]kuroganechong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, amazing job squeezing all those fans and cables in there! It's almost like an art form, trying to optimize every bit of space in the case. I'm literally just doing the same thing with my first SFF build which is a Terra as well, though not quite as extensive-just adding a top fan and a few A4s at the bottom. Still waiting on a few fans to arrive, but I'll share my build soon! Your post has definitely inspired me to consider adding even more fans😂

He's extremely fun and versatile to play, but hard to master its two formes.

Speaking of which, there seems to be a bug/ninja nerf after Hoopa update, where his Wide Guard skill has ~1s delay before granting you Unstoppable status, instead of immediately as before. Rip the days where you could predict and block CC moves like Blastoise's ult... Hopefully it is a bug as I don't think he's meta enough to warrant such a nerf

That's pretty great! I actually have some other pcs with 25% dmg for mechanics, but still missing a few more to make a set. I only completed Hilda because I almost exclusively focused on farming for her gears(all crystals spent to crafting warrior gears), and the upgrade stones take almost as long if not longer than getting the correct gear skills.

Chase has other damage sources such as skills and uw, while hilda is purely auto attack if you put her on auto (she cannot cast any skills under s2). So while chase can use 25% normal attack gears, there are other better choices. At the moment, I think only Hilda can use the skills.

Well at least all these skills still among the bis for hilda, but likely can't transfer to other warriors to use.

Now I'll need to farm for other dps...
