Will it fit

Does the Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 9070 XT fit in the Fractal Design Terra?

Tight

Yes, but it's tight: only 2 mm of length to spare; only 1.4 mm of thickness to spare; the spine has to move to position 5, leaving 57 mm for the CPU cooler (low-profile coolers only).

Questions

Does the Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 9070 XT fit in the Fractal Design Terra?
Yes, but it's tight: only 2 mm of length to spare; only 1.4 mm of thickness to spare; the spine has to move to position 5, leaving 57 mm for the CPU cooler (low-profile coolers only). Length 320 of 322 mm, height 120.3 of 145 mm, thickness 61.6 of 63 mm.
Which Terra layout does it need?
The spine has to move to position 5, leaving 57 mm for the CPU cooler (low-profile coolers only).
Where do these numbers come from?
Fractal Design's published spec, not yet measured by Respec; card size from Sapphire's spec page. Checked October 2026. Makers measure differently and connectors add a few millimetres, so treat a tight result as a reason to measure.

  • Case: Fractal Design’s Terra specifications, checked October 23, 2026. Fractal's spine table: seven positions, each trading graphics-card thickness against CPU-cooler height; a card taller than 131 mm loses 10 mm of thickness because the side panel narrows toward the top. Length and height from the Terra product page.
  • Card: Sapphire’s spec page, checked October 23, 2026.
  • The Terra's spine moves: every millimetre the graphics card gains comes out of the CPU cooler's room.
  • Length drops to 200 mm if a 120 mm radiator is mounted on the GPU side.
