Just wanted to say thank you so much for this. Did my first pc build following this vid and it was my lifeline lol. A lot of other tutorials skip the little details, so I appreciate all the effort that went in to making this

Specially thanks for highlighting the case io connections to the motherboard. In most guides I seen, they forget to bring that part up and it's usually not very intuitive and cause many new pc owners to get confused. Great guide :)

I built my Cooler Master Mesh TD500 case while watching your video. It was my first PC build and i must say thank you for this because your step by step pc build guide videos are perfect. Thank you.

Been building for 21 years but still nice to watch a tutorial like this before tackling a new build after so long out of the game.

I really enjoy watching your build videos. The edits you do showing close ups of where you are connecting cables are so helpful. You also have a very calm demeanor. I can easily see that helping out new PC builders to stay calm and not get overwhelmed. Thank you for the great work!

Thank you. I just got my IT certification and wanted to celebrate by building my own PC. I'm pretty confident but watching your step by step guide brought me to the 100% I need to get everything working nicely, I really appreciate that. First PC I ever built in my life, don't think I'll ever go back to prebuilds.

I really like the fact that you include the problems during the bulid. Every other PC-builder shows a perfectly made build without any complications. 😅 I've build my own PC a few weeks ago with your videos. I have a Lian Li 011 Razer Edition with a B550 Tomahawk, ryzen 5 5600 xt and an AMD 6700 xt. Its a really cool build and I could just look at it for hours. Thanks for that and stay cool. Greetings from Germany and Sorry for the bad english 👋

there are plenty of big pc youtubers out there, that being said i have really gotta compliment this build video, in depth, very informative, and you didnt skip a single thing. very well done! thanks for sharing!

Wow. New release case from Fractal, and you build now. So fast.. Good video 👌

EXCELLENT build guide. I just bought one of these cases and decided to watch a KZfaq install guide. This was the first video I watched and I don't need to look for anything else as you covered everything in easy to follow steps. Well done.

Hey man, really appreciate this video. It’s great having examples with the specific case I’m building in. Thanks for the clearly time stamped and well explained vid! Cheers

Watching this video after work while building my pc today, thank you. You made this man life easier!

This video absolutely sold me on the Torrent, those 180mm Fans are just too awesome to pass up, they look incredible and will be perfectly chilly for the 3080Ti I just bought :D

Thank you, thank you so much. I just finished building a similar pc configuration in fractal torrent. I watched your video several times, paused played, rewind 1000 times. It was really a journey for me for 3 days and thank YOU for helping me.

i'm kinda late for this but thank you so much for this video, i used this case in my build in april, was my second pc but my first self build and you made this so much easier with your video really insane work and dedication !

This is truly amazing. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos!!!

Still relevant even after the change in graphics card cables and a different motherboard. The case guide and fan swapping covers pretty much every permutation

Beast mate cracker of a build including discussing the fan placement.

I loved this pc case , it´s amzing....

Great vid man thank you, been 2 years since I did a build so this helped me put a 7800X3D, MSI Meg Ace MB, and 4090 into this case. Time for the fun part - re-installing everything on a clean windows !

Finally someone who talks about the stuff i need to know and straight forward about it rather then waffle on and not get to the point

I've been having so much trouble mounting the smaller fans to the front as well as my AIO cooler! Thank you for showing this!

This is the best video I've seen on building a computer, I looked up this video because I wanted to see how to build a PC using this case. Fantastic stuff, learned a lot of new stuff.

really excellent build guide! I learned a few things I need to know about the Fractal Torrent and it's back at the top of the list, vying with a Corsair 5000D and Fractal Meshify S2. It's a real pity that you can't keep the 180mm fans and install an AIO. I would prefer it if Fractal Design didn't include a tempered glass panel on the wiring side of the case: it's not necessary and only increases cost and the chances of a tempered glass panel being shattered. Also, who needs to look at the wiring? This is the only thing I find actually disappointing about the Fractal Torrent: if I do buy it I might even contact Fractal to see if they can replace the panel with a steel one from the windowless version of the case. This is one of, if not the, the best build channels I've found, with extremely clear and logical explanations. Kudos.

Thank you for this. I am doing a near-identical build and you are helping so much!

Hi Chris, huge thank-you for this video. I just did a 7900x 3070ti build with this case and your video guide was invaluable whenever I was unsure of anything.

Thank you for making this. Building my first pc in about 7 years in a couple of weeks and really needed this. Was able to pick up a 3080ti fe and going with a 360mm rad as well. Huge help.

Hey Christopher, I just followed along with this video to build my first pc! It was an absolute blast and so helpful!

Thank you for this guide. You made an effort to do it but it have a great value for people that would like to build their own PC by themselfs.

This is one of the best step-by-step PC build guides ever. Good job!

Thank you for this I was able to build my PC along with you as I'm using the same case just with some different components. This was very helpful and you showed what you were doing very clearly :)

Thank you i got finished my torrent build and it work!

Just built a new pc with this guide using the case. Thank you so much

Honest to God what you do is a public service, dude, thank you

Bro I LOVE YOU. You just answered 100 of my questions with just building thank you!

What I learnt from this video: Expect AIO and RGB issues to take 90% of your time.

Thanks for the video - I've just completed a build based on this. Very pleased with the looks of the build and temperatures (5800x + 3090 FE).

Christopher Flannigan is the best builder on youtube, period.

Nice video as always chris! I am learning a lot from those step by step pc building videos!

Thanks for a very detailed guide. It's been very helpful!

This answered all the questions I had about building in this case, thanks.

Thank you for this guide that screw at 12:13 was a point of concern but I see its just there to hold the board in place. Great guide!

Can't wait to build my new system just so I can throw it together in this case. Reminds me of the Silverstone raven, loved that case back when. Still going through the video but thanks for the in depth build guide, you show a few things a couple other videos haven't.

That PC is absolutely stunning.

Great walk-through. I picked up the full size Torrent RGB version.

Nice build and guide. Would have mounted the GPU cables from the top unrestrict the flow from the 180mm fans. Cheers...

Amazing work! I’m actually thinking of doing this exact build and your video helped me out a lot 🙏🏾 wish I could see some temp benchmarks! I’m so use to undervolting but I have a feeling this setup should run cool enough :)

Excellent build and explanation as always Christopher!!

Cheers mate, that was an awesome video, can't wait for that case to come back into stock.

Thank you for your detail guide, super helpful and hassle free for me beginner 😊

Thanks a lot, you were my best friend all day :)

High quality video, cheers man. Just found your channel, and if you keep this quality up you're in for some serious growth. :) I particularly liked the thermal testing you did in the accompanying video, with different fan configs and that stuff. That's very valuable testing that almost nobody else does. Please keep doing that and I'll be one happy subscriber. One question on this case: is it physically possible to install a 420mm AIO in the front and keep the 3x140 fans at the bottom? It looks like that might not fit, but not sure.

thank you for makling this build i have the same case and the build is very similar its my first computer build ima take my time with the video this weekend and let you guide me

The PCIe cables connected to the GPU should go over the GPU and not under. In this way, the cables don't cover the GPU RGB and also they don't block the bottom fan.

Dude, youre such a fine bloke. Keep up the good work.

Dude! This video helped me a ton while doing my build! Much appreciated!!! 🙏🙏🙏

I've been building PCs with my grandfather and dad as a kid. Grown up around them and built dozens at this point. This is one of the best tutorials I've seen for new folks. It's also crazy just how simple the process has gotten over the years. GN has seriously had a *massive* positive impact how case manufacturers design the usability of their cases.

Modeling my build after yours thank god for this video

Exactly the video I needed! Thank you so much

Thanks for the video! I couldn't have done this without you!

You are the best in build guide...awesome!

1st I think you put the aio in the wrong position ,you need to put the tubes down or you going to hear a water running noise in time as the bubbles going to build in the top of the radiator, and I want to see if the cables are long enough to reach down ,I think this case is mostly designed for air coolers and water pumps ,and it will be nice to see how is going to work with vertical mount GPU and some thermals ,apart from this good review keep up the good work

Gorgeous build and great video! Nice work!

great video , I really appreciated the lessons learned sections

Wondering if a build with the stock 3 x 140 fans (default w case) + AIO with 2 x 180 stock fans push front and 3 x 120 pull is possible?

The best PC KZfaqr ever.

thanks for the sag bracket closeups and install!

Fantastic work mate! Thank you for showing your imperfections, which is a reality, it’s not always going to be smooth as silk, you’ve addressed problems and provided solutions. This is gold for those who are adept to building but great for those who are starting out in building their own pc’s. Which I strongly recommend. It’s such a wonderful satisfaction to see something you’ve built done your way.

I freakin love this case, just finished my 12900k 3080ti build in it and and a front mounted AIO

Great build video mate. Very detailed and easy to follow.

It's funny you worried about the right angle front panel USB3 header being damaged if you tried to use it, that's exactly what happened to my brand new x670 Elite AX, bent the top left ID pin now only 1/2 front panel USB ports work. Luckily the board has two headers, but I had to order a ribbon extension cable because its so damn bulky and juts out so much.

Youinstalled your Aio wrong. Air goes up, so highest point should be radiator.

Great Video! Got me through my case transfer!

Nice job on the video also, it shows some of the little gotyas on the fans and bottom racks

Every build on this channel is better than my build. I wish i could build comps all the time.

Fantastic video mate, sold me on the case.

very good Video and very good explanation.

This is incredibly helpful, thank you.

Holy shit! The video was playing on a different display than what I was looking at and when I heard you speak I was thinking to myself if I hadn't heard that voice before? Jim Browning, is that you? ^^

I really like this case. Thanks for showing the aio mounting options. It's a shame they made such a great case but didn't really think much about aio options - front mounting is pretty much the only thing you can do.

i saved up 2k euros to build a gaming pc. I really really wanna start but the freaking graphics card situation just does not get better at all. it is so freaking frustrating. I have lost hope. Still enjoy the building videos.

underrated video

Thank you for youre very good Job, its help me Sorry my English come from Germany Bavaria

Very detailed explanation, Thankyou So much.

Brilliant. Thanks Helping me in a similar build.

I’m a little confused. The AIO CPU cooler is front-mounted? Isn’t that where the intake fans are supposed to go? Can you mount the cooler fans on the top of the case?

Superb !!

So basically this case is not optimized for AIO cooling. Fractal is blowing hot CPU air back into the case and it's fighting minimal cool air from the bottom with one exhaust out the back. Not your fault and appreciate you going through the build to illustrate to us!

Great vid thanks man. I had to keep the three bottom fans the two big ones didnt fit in with a z690. Turned the radiator upside down so the hoses would go to the bottom, other than that i was going frame by frame you were a great help

your pc guides are the best 😃

Love your video Sir. and reviews. Hope for more subscribers. you deserve Regards

I really want to make a build in this case (with air cooled CPU), but the cable management seems awful. Especially with 2 HDDs and an SSD that need connections. Reaching the GPU from the top might even be a challenge. Using non-rgb fans would help but then the inside looks very dull. So far I've always used the Define series, but apparently that front panel blocks a lot of airflow.

I did the same thing with the fans now one of the fans is making a crazy noise

Ty mate, it helped me

Hi Nice video showing the full process - Can I ask - was the GPU support bracket supplied with the case or the GPU itself?

I would've liked if you noted the screws to be used during the motherboard install. The images of the mounting screws depicted on the builders guide and the accessories box ended up not clearly corresponding to every screw (and the bags of screws aren't labelled). However, I soon realized that the bag with 11 mounting screws was correct but not before trying to put one fan screw through my motherboard :/ Also, the PWM motherboard header is supposed to go to a CPU fan connector according to the case manual.

Love this case. great guide!

Great job with your build videos , it looks so easy I’m planning to build on the fractal torrent but I want to know if a Arctic 360 AIO would fit at the front as I would like to set up my fans exactly like you did

I got this case yesterday and I think I have a faulty one because the power SW doesn't work when I press the powerbutton. I made sure I have everything correctly connected and turned on but my pc wont start. It did turn everything when I q flashed my MB so I know everything is working. Guess it's just my luck with cases that I always get a faulty one first

Thank you for this it was very helpful
