Does a Top Fan Fix the FRACTAL TERRA? | Build & Benchmarks

Was a top-mounted fan the missing piece in the Fractal Terra? In this video, I demonstrate a top fan installation guide for the Fractal Terra, followed by structured thermal testing to assess the real-world impact of this modification. The guide covers fan selection, mounting approach, cable management, and clearance considerations within a compact small form factor case. Thermal testing focuses on overall system thermals using repeatable methods to determine whether adding a top-mounted fan provides a meaningful improvement or limited practical benefit. This video is intended for builders interested in small form factor PCs, airflow optimisation, quiet computing, and evidence-based case modifications. Whether you are planning a Fractal Terra build or refining an existing system, this guide aims to support informed, data-led decisions.
