Considering moving from my H1 to a Fractal Terra and will need a new cooler. My GPU is a Radeon 6800xt so it’s only two slots and I’ll have room to maximize my cpu cooler. Which would you choose between the two?

From H1 to Terra.

I feel you on the temps, they were terrible even with the panel risers I picked up.

Temps are good, I have not paid a ton of attention to CPU temp, but I don’t even notice the fan spool up (thanks Noctua). As for GPU, I’m not sure about undervolting on AMD but I’d recommend it. Currently getting peaks of 74° under full load with my undervolt profile. Fan noise isn’t bad imo, ymmv, my fans ramp up to 75% and I don’t notice them over the game sound.

I do not have the exhaust fan in. I have an sfx-l psu so my connectors are too far down to mount it, sadly.

Edit: If you were able to add the aux fan, general consensus seems to point as exhaust being better.
