PC Tower case Fractal Design Torrent Tower Black — supports ATX/EATX/ITX, 2x180mm front fans, 2x3.5 inch bays, 4x2.5 inch bays, tempered glass

The Fractal Design Torrent Tower Black is a high-airflow ATX tower case engineered for maximum cooling performance. It ships with two custom 180 x 38 mm Dynamic PWM / Prisma RGB fans and a new interior layout that prioritizes unrestricted airflow, extensive bottom intakes, and support for large radiators and GPU cooling. The case supports ATX and larger motherboard formats, multiple storage devices, and features tempered glass side panels on TG variants.

Advantages

The Torrent delivers top-tier airflow through thick 38 mm fan blades and a redesigned internal layout that creates ample breathing room for components. Included features such as a pre-installed Nexus 9P Slim PWM fan hub, external cable straps, removable top bezel, and vibration-damping steel drive trays simplify installation and cable management while keeping noise controlled. Optional nylon filters for the front and bottom let you balance dust protection and maximum airflow.

Suitable for

• High-performance air-cooled gaming or workstation builds
• Systems using large GPUs that require enhanced bottom intake cooling
• Custom water-cooling loops with support for thick radiators up to 420 mm
• Builds requiring multiple SSDs and HDDs with good cable management

How to use

Install the motherboard and power supply according to standard ATX tower procedures, using the top-mounted PSU location. Mount storage drives in the provided drive trays or SSD brackets and route cables through the integrated cable guides; use the included cable straps to secure wiring. Fit the GPU and assemble the included GPU support bracket to prevent GPU sag. Connect the pre-installed Nexus 9P Slim PWM fan hub to control the two 180 mm fans and any additional compatible fans. For radiator or reservoir installation, use the front or bottom support points; both panels allow extra-thick radiators and push-pull configurations.

Recommendations

For best cooling performance, install the optional nylon filters when dust control is a priority and remove them when maximizing airflow. Ensure the GPU support bracket is assembled before long or heavy graphics cards are installed. When using water cooling, verify radiator thickness and clearance against the case’s support for extra-thick radiators and plan fan orientation for optimal push/pull airflow.
