We have taken a look at the Fractal Design Torrent Compact RGB TG Light Tint PC case. The Compact and Nano are the latest iterations in the famous Torrent series of PC cases from the manufacturer. The case has a dimension of 4...

It was inevitable that we'd get variations of Fractal's Torrent computer chassis. Torrent was a huge success for the company and brought to market a strong airflow centric case. Compact is more of the same, in a slightly smaller shell.As with Torrent befo...

You will have gathered from our video that we have mixed feelings about the Fractal Design Torrent Compact. The simple explanation is that we are perfectly happy with cases such as the Lian Li O11 Dynamic EVO that rely on 120mm and 140mm fans and do not f...

How Much Does it Cost?The Torrent Compact is actually a lot better priced than I was expecting. That being said, it uses significantly less raw material in its construction than the full-size Torrent, which is why it weighs about 10KG less too. As you can...

Over the last few years, Fractal cases have moved up my list of favorite cases. The Meshify series from Fractal is still one of my all-time favorites. I really do like that series with the Meshify 2 being the winner in my opinion. With that, the Torrent C...
High airflow design, Two included 180 mm fans, Tool-less side panel design, Support for ATX & E-ATX motherboards even at a smaller size, Nexus 9P Slim fan hub included, Velcro straps and tie-down points for cable routing
Have to remove bottom feet to install fans on the bottom of the case, Not a lot of room behind the motherboard tray, No removable cooling bracket like on the original
We've seen Fractal Design make smaller versions of their larger cases before and I think that is a good thing. Many times with their cases there can be a lot of dead space or sometimes they are just overkill so having a smaller version makes sense especia...
Noticeably cheaper than the original Torrent, Traditional mid-tower size, Still includes two 180 mm intake fans, Clean windowed panel design, 9-port PWM fan hub included, Includes functional GPU-support bracket, Glass on the panel for the back of the moth
Bottom fan/AIO placement essentially limits user to M-ATX, Bottom 180 mm fan placement limits front to 140 mm sizing of fans or 280 mm AIO, 20 mm space behind motherboard tray makes for a tight fit, Cable mess hard to keep clean due to single centralized
The Fractal Design Torrent Compact RGB has an MSRP of US$169.99 excl. taxes, while the non-RGB, dark-tinted variant goes for $149.99. Noticeably cheaper than the original Torrent Traditional mid-tower size Still includes two 180 mm intake fans Clean wind...
Aggressive design, 180 mm PWM fans, Impressive airflow, Well priced,
Barely any room for cables, Limited SATA drive space, No exhaust fan included
Fractal trims its popular Torrent design down a bit with the Torrent Compact. The big 180 mm fans impress, but there isn't a lot of extra room for storage or stray cables...
