This is by far the CLEANIST and Detailed yet so simple channel for case reviews. I respect you. German perfection. I hope your channel grows a lot more !
Congrats Chris for another excelent review and built!!! As for the case...it's such a beauty!! But let me mention only ONE of its features that made me loving it!! (i will leave out the PSU placement on the upper compartment...we have seen it before and it's a super great idea which i am very up for it). So...AT LAST someone thought to put in good use all the bottom fans!!! If you remember Chris, few months back, i had suggested to do your thermal tests by elevating the bottom part of the case in order for the fans to work with fresh ambient air and not the air which is trapped below the case. The air trapped below the case is more or less 3-5 degrees warmer than the ambient room temp. So...by doing that, giving a slight angle to the bottom side, the bottom fans work just perfectly, cooling the gpu as they should, the whole system much much better and your thermals proved that point. For me this design is definitely a game changer for all those who will to use bottom fans to provide better air flow. In my opinion, in any other case, bottom fans with just a margin from the floor about 2-3 cm, are absolutely pointless and do not offer significant changes for cooling performance. VERY WELL done Phanteks!!!
Thanks for the great thorough review of the case! great stuff! i haver a few questions for you: 1. how much room do you recon is there in the case in terms of height clearance for a bottom rad + vertical gpu block? is it possible in your opinion to have a vertical water blocked gpu with a bottom (slim) rad while not being literally in front of the cpu block, covering it? 2. Any insight into when Phanteks will allow to make review videos for the d30 fans? Many thanks for the video and thank you in advance for a response Christopher! Keep up the great work! your videos are really helpful and informative, not to mention fun and entertaining to watch :)
I think it will depend on the vertical GPU mount and what slots it goes into, unfortunately this isn't something I have tested. I wasn't made aware of any restriction on reviews of the fans, but I don't have any plans for a separate review.
Depends on what you need in terms of functionality and/or looks. I’m in the process of breaking down my Y60 build to the NV7 out of necessity. For me it comes to greater access to all PCIe lanes - I’ll be nvlinking GPUs, so… there’s that. :)
@@ChristopherFlannigan I went ahead and ordered the Hyte H60. Your video was very helpful to make the decision. I need your help on a crucial part of the build: Would you rather pick a 360mm aio or a 280 aio (intake)? I value a silent operating system and I read a 280mm aio is more silent and it's performance is about the same as a 360mm. Is this correct? One last vital question: Which of the 140mm Lian Li fans would you pick for the AiO? Lian Li Uni Fan SL-INF 140 (2023) or Lian Li UNI FAN SL140 V2 (2022)?
a smaller shorter version that can still fit 3 fans on the side and a 360 AIO could be perfect for regular users who aren't interested in custom water cooling or push pull configuration, so I think I'll go with the Lian Li EVO, this could be a perfect case though for crazier builds.
Great review - your videos are great and you're so detailed. I'd love to see a video on the NZXT H9 Elite, although I like this case, it's just too big for my needs. Cheers.
Awesome case and nice video, have a like friend. I got a question though, will this fit a gigabyte aorus windforce 4090? It's bigger than the regular foundsrs 4090 by a few.
I guess if one went with the custom cables from the Phantek third party, extensions wouldn't be needed since the case model is part of the information for the cable provider.
I love watching your builds and reviews!!! I look on your paage first and this one has me. Was set on a 011 evo RGB build, until i saw this. I do have one question. Have you measured that space above the Mobo and between the top fans? Thinking about putting a screen there. But I have not recieved the case yet to measure it. I am curious to know the measurements as your build sits in this review.
What do you think the absolute best fan configuration would be with that if using 1 rad/AIO ..? I got this on the way with the D30s (3x 140 and 9x 120 +3 120 PWM that comes with AIO ) and not sure what the best config with the rad(side or top, feel like top is kinda wasted ish)...Love the video btw!
Thanks for the good video. I have a question. I'm currently using Rog Helious (with all 4 stock 140mm fans) and Rog Raujin 360 MK I (with the small display) and stock Noctua fans on it, thinking about changing case (Phanteks NV9 or 7; O11 Evo D XL or NZXT H9 Flow). So question is which one is better for GPU and CPU Temp if any? Thanks.
All that extra meat on the GPU bracket is a big miss. That Aourus logo on the GPU would look sick, but you have to live with it being blocked. Nothing an angle grinder wouldn't fix I suppose.
Hi Christopher, if you compare the NV7 with the O11, which has better temperature? would the NV7 perform better with the unifans? specially noise whise
For the AIO, I was trying to follow what you tried. I know with that AIO you really cant rotate the pump header, but could you have run the tubes towards the rear of the case?
Yes, another option, but I didn't want to block motherboard ARGB and rear fans, but if you didn't go push-pull with this AIO I think you would need to do this
Great job as always Chris 👌🏻👏🏻 I just recently received the case with 3 packs of regular D30 fans and 3 packs of reversed D30 fans. I opted for the push/pull mode on Kraken Z73 at the top so it is 15 x D30 fans in total.. but.. I have an issue or a dillema now.. how to connect all 15 fans to the rgb controller as I now have 5 separate rgb fan cables and the controller has only 3 free channel slots.. Ch1 has the rgb strips around the mb Ch2 has the side 4 intake fans Ch3 has the bottom 3 intake fans Ch4 has the top 3 exhaust fans I'm missing the free channels on the controller for 2 exhaust fans from the back here and the other 3 exhaust fans at the top in push/pull mode... I feel a bit stupid now while trying to find the best way to connect all 15 fans so everything works as it should.. can I connect the back 2 fans and other top 3 fans to the additional cable connectors/adapters of the fans already connected.. would it be too many fans then on two channels? Big thanks upfront for the advice and help here.. 🙏🏻 JJ
Is very suspicious the fact that in the whole video you do not show a single time the case with the build with the glass on, why is there any reason? Are you being sponsored?? I like objetive reviews.

16 fans (1 for PSU) 😊! I placed order on this case after your review now ❤

Glad you approve. It looks much better with the angle as well
looks sick.. hope they release a smaller version
I'm sure they will.
Smaller version is already in the works
Just made my build in this case, absolutely a stunning case.
wow this channel is great. it took me a while to fully understand this english accent but now i can listen to you all day.

Another excellent Dutch design. Contemplating wether to go for this beast of a case or the Hyte Y60. Can't go wrong with either to be frank.
Both great cases

I'm not a fan of it personally and I'm happy with my Torrent but I can acknowledge some nice design choices for that monster.
Torrents a great case also, had it onl;y my desk for a year
That's the biggest case I've ever seen
Yeah and thats why its weird that i wont support 480MM rads.
Yes it's massive. Will look well beside the HAF 700 EVO. Hopefully they don't break the desk.

There is a new NV5 now that is exactly what you described. Also an even bigger NV9.
@@mrufo2297 thanks for telling me, I saw that but didn't like how the PSU isn't in the back like the EVO and the NV7.

Fantastic review, that’s an amazing case with a lot to love, I just don’t think I could justify the size of it.
You would need to like big cases
@@ChristopherFlannigan Hello you will test the cases thermaltake cte c750 air flow ? plz
Seriously want these cases.
What do you think the absolute best fan configuration would be with that if using 1 rad/AIO ..?

Thanks for the good video.
I have a question.
I'm currently using Rog Helious (with all 4 stock 140mm fans) and Rog Raujin 360 MK I (with the small display) and stock Noctua fans on it,
thinking about changing case (Phanteks NV9 or 7; O11 Evo D XL or NZXT H9 Flow).
So question is which one is better for GPU and CPU Temp if any?
Thanks.
To be perfect for me it would be less tall with a 3 fans 120mm max and a chanfer glass for better airflow
Maybe this will come in the future
You should use the covers to put either side of the bottom fans as your not using them at the back
I did with mine it looks cleaner
All that extra meat on the GPU bracket is a big miss. That Aourus logo on the GPU would look sick, but you have to live with it being blocked. Nothing an angle grinder wouldn't fix I suppose.
Hi Christopher, if you compare the NV7 with the O11, which has better temperature? would the NV7 perform better with the unifans? specially noise whise
Time to change my O11D and finally get a Sapphire 6900XT Toxic since it can fit into it.
For the AIO, I was trying to follow what you tried. I know with that AIO you really cant rotate the pump header, but could you have run the tubes towards the rear of the case?
Yes, another option, but I didn't want to block motherboard ARGB and rear fans, but if you didn't go push-pull with this AIO I think you would need to do this
@@ChristopherFlannigan makes sense, thanks!!
Great video
hello! Is it possible to mount them all looking good even if there are no reverses? A thousand thanks
What size cable did u go with for the 16 pin GPU cable my cable mod cable is 2” short
Would the hose of Asus Ryujin II with Push/Pull work with this case? Would it be long enough
Would you specify your fan configuration, please? As far as which ones are intake/exhaust. Appreciate your work!
bottom side in, top back out; i guess
Great job as always Chris 👌🏻👏🏻

I want the aio for thos, i love the d30 especially sonce you can get reversed versions

it seem the case is bigger than you when you sit. the case quite big though
that graphics card is insane
Yes, it looks great
what is best cases 2023 for airflow plz ? my english is bad is hard for me anderstand your vidéo
Thermaltake CTE 750 Air
@@CoolColJ thanks for your reponse
why r u using different CPUs for each review? it becomes hard to compare
Channel is about building the best PC in each case and showcasing different hardware
That's a monster case LMFAO
This is an absurdly large case, more suited for open loop water cooling configurations ...
That's what the space above motherboard is intended for
Keep in mind, $220 plus TAX lol
Yes, we have it build into the price
Poor fan filters for a £200 case..... its a skip from me.
That's 15x 120mm fans. Hard pass.
Lots of useless space
Depends what you do with it and what your preferences are
I personally like more open space. Everyone likes different things.
The open space over the motherboard, is great for placing a sensor panel 😊
