Interesting little case. It look nice. I've see a lot of interesting cases lately. One of the strangest is the In Win Alice which looks like a laundry basket. I got to see Mike of Mike's unboxing, reviews and how to do a live build in that case and it actually ended up looking pretty cool. Oh, well. Wishing you and the lovely Klaire a happy new year. Can't wait to see what 2020 will bring.
This was probably one of the most difficult cases I've built in as I had a 3.5" Hard drive on the side, fan controller, and larger GPU. It's definitely an eye catcher when it's fully assembled but I had thermal issues with the glass panels. I'm sure the mesh panels are a lot better but I had to go away with this case. Another issue I had with this case was the custom sleeved cables, specifically the 24 Pin being plugged in. The tray with the phanteks logo would always pop outwards from the pressure of the cable. If you're getting this case keep that in mind. Kudos for fitting everything so nicely. I think this case would look a lot better with the glass front and the mesh panel on the back.
@@GearSeekers Appreciate the reply! That's unfortunate though. It's a great case foot print wise. I thought the mesh would provide better temps but glad to know they're about the same as I was thinking on giving it one more try. I'm a mini-itx builder and appreciate the difficulty and challenges when building but with that of course comes with moderate to low air flow when wanting to do small form factor builds.
@@yeuros6280 Thoughts on it? Dislikes? Build tips? I bought one but have not built in it yet. It had a bad latch and the lid would not latch, contacted Phanteks and send them a copy of my Amazon order and they sent me a new latch for free. Just installed it, now watching build videos trying to get in the "mood" to build it.
I now realized why I enjoy very much your videos. The melt down of your visuals with music pick is genius... Really, excellent work. Especially based on this video I build very similar build in evolve shift but stick with rtx 2070, turned it around with fans towards the interior of the box, as you mentioned power cables dont fit because of the PSU at the bottom. Thanx for your inspiration. Greetings from Slovakia... and will be great if you post the name of the song.
I would love to see a video on how you set up the dual boot on your pc. I'm looking at upgrading my current PC and am actually looking at the evolv shift air you used here to do it. If I can add Mac in at the same time, then even better!
Ever since this case got updated to the AIR for better thermals i've wanted to do a build in it. The biggest issue is tho it doesnt fit 3 slot gpu's (like the Ncase) which makes it a turn off because nowadays most gpu's at least fall in the 2.5 304mm bracket
I want the big bother of this one, Phanteks Shift X, to be my first build. Gonna jump straight to custom hardline water cooling too. Both are such beautiful cases.
This is my personal case as well and I love it. I've got the TG side panels on it though. Also ended up spending a butt ton on getting a ModMyMods front panel with vents cut through the front panel. Love this build, looks clean AF!
@@DarkZero310 I've stuck a 3900X and 2080 Ti in, both watercooled. It was ok, still really toasty though and I ended up switching it out for a NZXT H210
Man, your beats and you r builds are always sick! Keep up the amazing work! Happy 2020 to you all! I was hoping you would use an air cooler for the cpu in this build. curious to see how well it cools.
Could you measure how much clearance there is between the top of the CPU and the case side ? Ie. how tall can the cooler be ? I love how open that case is. Why keep heat trapped inside ? I also love how many fans you put in the front. Small cases are usually hard to cool. Not that one. Would there be room for a 240 or 360 radiator in the case ? Where you put the fans ?
@@GearSeekers The CPU cooler clearance is only 82mm. That rules out a big cooler like the Cool Master Hyper 212, which is 159mm high. And a 120mm radiator is too small to keep a 3950X cool if it is working hard. www.phanteks.com/Enthoo-Evolv-Shift-Air.html
@@SomeTechGuy666 using a Cryorig C1, has a cooler height of 74mm and a low profile 140mm fan, 140 TDP cooling potential, not running a 3950X but I would say it would keep it cool enough. He also forgot to mention it can actually house 2 x 120mm rads, you just can't have a single 240mm as it uses the bottom mount point and the bottom mount on the side (L shape), you can either extend an AIO and add an extra RAD/tubing or do a custom loop with a tiny res/pump combo
Just wondering, the fan set up, all as exhaust was intentional (and why?) or more esthatic intended? Running myself a 3900x, but looking for a smaller footprint case (like this one) :)
@@GearSeekers hey thanks for your answer : i spoke about the front panel :) (i've got the air version too) There is some problem with this case with thermal flow : first : the PSU exhaust the heat on the bottom of the case, so if you put some AIO it will Retake this air. second : the front panel contain to much the extracting airflow. if you look the Jay2cents video on this case, he put some lazer cut front panel for better result. mesh panel i just usefulll for the GPU side ! for encoding or 4k gaming, i use a light undervolt on cpu and gpu for keep all in corrects temps.

Hello. Can you still squeeze SFX-L PSU, while having gpu fans facing outwards? Going to use with chassis for my next blender/Photoshop/Lightroom/Apex Legends build.
Can I ask how much extra room the GPU had to fit in? I'm looking at a 290mm card so Im wondering if it would be too big for the case? Thank you! And loved the video!
@@GearSeekers Thank you so much for the reply! And I see now! I tried to see for myself off the photos found on the internet, but Im not entirely sure what I'm looking for. I then saw you had reviewed the card previously on your show, namely the Aorus RTX 2080ti Xtreme, and so I was wondering, if its not too much to ask, do you think it would fit in the evolv shift? Ive tried to do my due diligence on this build but things like this have me scared of pulling the trigger as Im a newbie when it comes to this stuff, and I dont want to throw money the drain! Thanks again! I really do appreciate it! :)
Phanteks should have only used mesh in areas where the airflow would help out and not expose all the wiring inside. They need to play with aluminum/glass/fabric more on a holistic basis instead of as an afterthought.
Hey man, I recently just bought a tempered glass version of the case and was wondering if you could swap a panel with me? Like trade a glass for a mesh panel if you even still have the case/setup. And was also wondering if you could sell me any SFX power supplies with the cables, I been trying to find them but they are like sold out everywhere.
Oh no, no more videos in 2019 😔 That's ok though, 2020 will no doubt be a great year for builds, awesome background music and b-roll footage that seriously should be banned for venturing into tech porn 😉 happy new year to you both from the UK. Heres to an an amazing 2020, wish you all the best 🙂 oh and btw you should learn to build PCs properly with IO shield installation 😝
I got this case for Christmas but when I tried to put it together(1070, 6600k, sf600) the pc will NOT boot unless both my ssd and hard drive are not connected to the psu, it won’t work if just one is plugged in, and it isn’t the power supply because it will turn on if the drives aren’t connected...any tips?
Can you make an update on running multiple OS? I've heard that once you update Windows it'll mess up all the other OS' files and basically corrupt your system.
Aditya Alifadhillah that actually happened to me when I dual booted MacOS and Windows, so I have a separate Hackintosh build along with a Windows gaming pc. It is possible to avoid that by disconnecting the MacOS disk while Windows is connected, and vice versa. But I’m not sure how to do that.
Gear Seekers It took a couple of months of updates for issue to arise for me. I’m looking at something like this to separate Windows from the other OS’s www.amazon.com/Device-Switch-Channel-selector-Module/dp/B01MAX56SA

The whole case is open it doesn't need an intake
Another amazing build! Great job!
i've got my 3900x and my 1080TI inside... but it's HOT it's requiert soe tweak for temps, like remove some dust filter or make some front hole.
This is a mesh panel version of the case. No glass. Thermals are excellent
@@GearSeekers hey thanks for your answer : i spoke about the front panel :) (i've got the air version too)
There is some problem with this case with thermal flow :
first : the PSU exhaust the heat on the bottom of the case, so if you put some AIO it will Retake this air.
second : the front panel contain to much the extracting airflow.
if you look the Jay2cents video on this case, he put some lazer cut front panel for better result.
mesh panel i just usefulll for the GPU side !
for encoding or 4k gaming, i use a light undervolt on cpu and gpu for keep all in corrects temps.
Despite i love this case , nice look with a small footprint .
Hello. Can you still squeeze SFX-L PSU, while having gpu fans facing outwards? Going to use with chassis for my next blender/Photoshop/Lightroom/Apex Legends build.
I really love this case, no RGB of course :)
Hi there , Quick question , the fan from the liquid cooling, do you push the air thru the radiator or pull it from the radiator.
Hey do you know if 2080 gaming x trio will fit? With the connecters? Thx for the video.
Why did you put case fans on exhaust to closed front panel? Is it fine?
Thats how it was designed. 2 intakes at the bottom and outtake on the top. Which is good because hot air rises and cold air sinks.
Love you content and your music choices are always on point keep up the good work 👌

Would fit a Gigabyte RTX 2070Super Gaming OC in without any modification?
Mind if I ask what KVM you're using? I'm considering one for my home office.
I have the gpu rog strix 2080 super advanced which is 2.7 slot (5.41cm), do you think it fits in the case?
Thought of a mini itx build always makes me cringe with how much extra care and patience it would take to build in
It's rewarding! Could you help me change the bandages on my hands?

Can I ask how much extra room the GPU had to fit in? I'm looking at a 290mm card so Im wondering if it would be too big for the case? Thank you! And loved the video!

I've heard you get good temps with the air having both the side fans set to intake
makes no difference
What software are you using to make your music?
I have a little question that this case's airflow might be suitable for overclocking. Is it?
its an open air case
I really like this case but honestly think it could have been made to be smaller
The most difficult part of manufacturing a fan seems to be centering the sticker correctly
Does airflow direction not matter in this chassis since the side panels are mesh? I notice the 3 case fans are all exhaust
Yeah doesn't matter
Can you make a video on the triple boot especially Hackintosh part
Wish the corsair logo on the aio could rotate XD
I'm not a computer geek, does the gigabyte aorus rtx 2060 super fit in this case?
Google the measurements
Build to watch youtube...nothing heavy...and I wanted to put in a radeon VII because I wanted to edit video...
Can it fit very tall and thick graphic card like Msi Gaming X trio? It seems GPU length isn't a issue with this case?
Probably not
it can't fit more than 2 slots tho. Probably around 45mm or less in thickness, I upgraded to a Gigabyte 2070 Super 3X and won't fit lol.
