The case comes with an excess of cooling. The stock Fractal Design fans are amazing. The case fans are also pretty quiet. I typically used Fractal Design cases in the past for there super noise dampening to keep the PC quiet during operation but the Torrent has surpassed my expectations for quiet operation. At around $185 with all the included fans this case is a steal. I was building out a Lian Li O11 which would have cost significantly more to build out with a similar cooling solution.Cable management is probably the most effective system I've utilized in a case and is necessary. I added a 3.5" hard drive and a 2.5" hard drive which was manageable without any bulging from the cable management side panel, but if you plan on having more than two 3.5" drives then ... MoreThe case comes with an excess of cooling.

The included fan hub also works great for simplifying the connection of the 5 built in fans to a single motherboard fan header.

Pros: Great air cooling. Great vibration damping (have on desk). So easy to get in and out of and build in. Tons of options and space for cables. Looks great. I was swayed by the Gamer's Nexus review. It looked like a good evolution/successor to a Raven RV05 I had a few years.ago. Note: Mine came with the new fan hub, just in case you're worried. Only one con for me and that was strange ghostly sound that the fans made at low rpms but that has gone nwo. I think they've worn in and I'm pretty sure I read something advising about it in the instructions. Great case. I got the version without the side window. It's nice to be able to use stickers again without feeling precious about tempered glass.

The Fractal Torrent case is everything that a quality case should be - It is easy to build - quality parts and design. I previously used a Fractal Design R5 but found that after intensive gaming / applications components were getting very warm. With this rebuild I slightly upgraded the components (Ryzen 9 5950 & 32Gb RAM) the system is generally whisper quiet and all components are kept extremely cool - despite using an air cooler rather than an AIO. I plan to upgrade my RTX 1660ti when prices finally come nearer to MSRP. The case was out of stock when I ordered it - but Scan kept me advised as to delivery status and it arrived ahead of anticipated. Well done Scan. Well done Fractal.

Awesome case, great price, delivered to Adelaide cheaper than all other prices I could find.
Great case but bad delivery serviced (DPD) used. Case wise good thermals.
Probably one of the best cases I've built in so far.Plenty of cooling option support, cable management space behind MB is great.About to put a watercooling loop in, great Mc support in this case with a fill port hole etc at the top of the internal frame.I have been using the system with included fans and a large noctua air cooler, the case performs great with clean airflow.Only minor downside would be on the solid side panel version, if securing the side panels from opening via screws they are a bit of a pain VS tempered glass sidepanels (screw position in a better spot). Also use the Torrent Nano and the side panel screw in location is better on that too.However really that's my only issue with this case and it's a minor issue.
Premium look and feel, and easy to build in. The windowless version is nicely understated - perfect for people with friends and family who don't need or want RGB.Came shipped in nice packaging, and while it's sturdy it wasn't so heavy that I wanted help getting it up and down stairs. No wastes space or unnecessary bits inside the packaging either - enough styrofoam to keep it safe, not so much that it's obnoxious.The included accessories were nice - the gpu brace came in handy.Stock fans work great without adjustment or repositioning, easy to manage cables, and probably the best out of box airflow of this generation of cases.I am extremely satisfied with the product, and the purchase, and would highly recommend this case and brand to any of my friends.
Excellent quality case with plenty of fans already installed, making installation "a breeze"..
Awesome temperature for my CPU and GPU.I had around 62°C (GPU) with my last case (NXZT H510 elite)With the new case I'm now at 53°C (GPU), almost lost 10°C while still being silent.Anyone who's looking for a silent and awesome airflow case. There you go
Works fine so far.
