You des is mal Kuehlung
Sodelle what many forget in such a product review for PC cases the installed components! Is simply important.
So I have installed with me:
MSI x570s Tomahawk / AMD 5900x / 32GB RAM / Gigabyte Gaming RTX 3080 ti / 360 Silentloop 2 beQuiet / 1x 140mm rear fan
So I got the Phanteks because I had mega heat problems in my old beQuiet 900 Rev.1 case for whatever reason!
So I built everything into the Phantek, the Silentloop still equipped with (cheaper) Arctics fans because they are quieter and have more throughput than the original ones...and the slightly better beQuiet Silentwings3 well for one of these I could buy 3 Arctics! so better for the wallet.
Temperatures checked with Cinebench in the old case over +95 degrees (RED) with the Phanteks Eclips P500 I was barely more than 80degrees. And Cinebench is extreme because the CPU is used to 100% capacity, all cores. So for everyday use and gaming, the temperatures are more than brilliant!
The only disadvantage in my eyes is the braket for the vertical GPU mount. With my RTX 3080 ti the fans close directly with the glass pane and there is no airflow unless you open the sides but why? I think if you value it (Vertical GPU) you should change to GPU water cooling or get another case from LIanLii or so...Pro
- Look
- design
- Airflow
Contra
- GPU Vertical Mounting
Good case with good ventilation
I am very satisfied with the case. Only the supported radiator sizes for water cooling require caution: Although Phanteks states that a 360 mm radiator is supported at the top, I was only able to fasten 4 of 12 screws in the recesses provided in the case with an Arctic Liquid Freezer II cooler, which according to the documentation fits into the case without any problems.
Pro
- Already 3 fans in the case
- Space for 2 system, if desired
- Pre-installed cable guides very convenient
Contra
- Size specifications regarding AIO water cooling not entirely conclusive
