FIRE AND ICE! - Modding the new MATTE WHITE Phanteks Evolv X

A theme I've always wanted to tackle and that is orange and white to represent fire and ice and what better way than to use the brand new matte white edition of the popular Evolv X chassis from Phanteks. The idea was to create a subtle fire effect coming from around the motherboard tray while all other components remained white.
This build took 2 days to complete and mods include:
- Completely removing the insides of the case - mobo tray and PSU cover
- Replacing motherboard tray with custom made 10mm frosted acrylic tray
- Replacing PSU cover with custom made 6mm frosted acrylic cover
- Adding a small screen to replace where the Phanteks logo once was (this was built in to the PSU cover so was removed)
- Adding a small screen in the PSU cutout
- Custom alu cable covers for the back which are a trimmed down version of what the case comes with.
- Custom 24 pin cable brackets for behind the motherboard tray. These were made from modified Bitspower radiator brackets - shop.bitspower.com/index.php?...

[@miangel9058]

You’ve been holding back… I’m happy to see the cast is off, and we can resume these amazing inspirational builds 👏

[@fred_2021]

When you're done with that, it needs preserving in a national museum. Looks like a piece of Moon Base Alpha hardware.

[@orni2490]

I have this case in black but it looks so much better in matt white. I like the overall look of the build, Finally a really cool Evolv X Mod

[@mikaisfake]

Gorgeous build, love that you went the extra steps to modify it to the theme

[@MrTwinkies2010]

You never cease to amaze me with your build.

[@doggothedog7744]

White and silver just look timeless. I really love how rectangular the ram is. Another amazing build.🖤

[@dealerjim]

Another work of art! I always look forward to your next build popping up. The hand wave at the beginning had me cracking up. Glad to see you got that pesky cast off.

[@davidmer968]

Took things to another level. Just incredible!

Finally new video! Amazing job as always!

[@MatDek88]

Super super clean build

Im glad your arm has been recovered from injury , keep safety

[@techgirl517]

Why i love your builds: they are unique, well planned and looks always pretty good 👍

[@nexaner7]

"Let's just rip everything out an do it better." Love it: The screen for the moving phanteks logo, the lighting on the motherboard tray, the cable runs, the covers for the fan cables and so on. Absolutely stunning.

[@t_pagz]

Holy shit!! The Evolv X is still one of the best looking cases out there and you just nailed it - this thing is insane. Great job!!

[@_Randwulf]

Impressive as always... 👍😎

[@wickedgino2155]

You always bless our eyes with your build.

[@D4RKD4YZ]

This has to be one my favorites so far. Wow!

[@hoyle038]

These Case Companies get there monies worth...I would love to see how you make all these acrylic pieces. You sir are a legend.

[@thomasschrader8436]

Again outstanding nice and clean - thanks for your inspirations.

[@MrSethGr]

what a beautiful build!

[@JNexus_png]

This cable management is fire! Awesome build

[@01Gamemaster10]

Not that hard if you never use any hdd`s or ssd`s or any corsair rgb stuff :P Then Cable management is very easy.

[@JNexus_png]

@@01Gamemaster10 Yep, corsair hubs with their million cables are fucked up I hope someone will someday make a model of such cable holders for 3D printing

[@zeus.edwards2662]

insane details

[@theNerdandtheNurse]

absolutely stunning! No doubt that your work is drool worthy, PC art!

[@Elbori239]

This build is freaking amazing 😍😍😍😍

[@coreyc1684]

Absolutely beautiful setup, I wish I had access to someone like yourself to commission a custom build for my new work computer. Your use of custom panels and screens are always so clean. Hats off to you sir.

[@_Murky_]

first time I've seen diffused light used in negative space 🧡💜 love it

[@asphaltbinder]

Awesome build man! Congrats on getting the cast off!

[@amineyuri]

So clean

[@sacredterps3267]

SO CLEAN

[@mjhieusuper]

Wow, Perfection 🥰

[@Noodlepunk]

Honestly just really. Love all the phantexs cases. I got the Eclipse and love it so much.

[@Mitch_The_Cadet]

yay! splints is off and power glove hand is back! One of the cleanest I have ever seen, you struggle to see anything else other than the 24pin and the gpu's power delivery. Great build as always!

[@kundankumarsingh2944]

That case is looking good..👍 Now this is my 3rd best case behind O11 evo and 5000X.🔥🔥🔥

[@bury101]

Bro that plexi makes all this look super CLEAN! Outstanding as always bud!🔥❄🔥❄🔥❄

[@arashidziurda2236]

Amazing cured in every dettail

Masterpiece Bro

[@jaimepadron8863]

Outstanding

[@moacirneto4440]

Uma obra de arte!!!

[@Internet_Polizei]

insane build

[@GGFEvents]

Thank you

[@Internet_Polizei]

@@GGFEvents i want to sidemount a 360mm Radiator in this case and replace the vertical GPU closer to the mainboard. Actually I have no solution for my idea :D I dont want to cur/drill too much.

[@GHOSTMAUF]

One of the most attractive cases on the market. Beatiful work tho!

[@3ExtraLives]

This has definitely inspired me to do something crazy for my next build in a Thermaltake WP100

[@hwanzi90]

god damn man you dont make computers.....you make pieces of art man!

[@aessniper]

Beautiful! Cheers from Argentina, frosted tube would look nice also

[@douglas3103]

Amazing, well done! ;-)

[@rodhester2166]

You always have the best builds.. so much attention to detail.. thanks for sharing.. Just an idea, wonder what it would be like if you painted the tubes on a build with paint that changes with the temperature. I am thinking in the future this could be used to monitor temps really quick.

[@Roman73ify]

Magnificently!

[@rikachiu]

Bro. BRO! Those mods have motivated me to add them to my future evolv x build.

[@GGFEvents]

Good luck!

[@madd5]

The hand is back!

[@datdudeinred]

We definitely need a mod build video on this one 😂. TRULY SPECTACULAR WORK ❤️👏

[@hoyle038]

The planning he does is extremely unique.

[@datdudeinred]

@@hoyle038 Exactly. I never thought you can mordenize a 4yr old case. Phanteks should pay him like thousands of dollars for this video.

[@Sain995]

the beast chasis in the world!

[@akbarhussain8724]

GGF, for all your amazing builds this is perhaps one of of the best. Extremely clean build and that orange hue with the rest of it just looks outstanding with the white. You can tell the planning that went into this. For me it was the RAM sticks they matched perfectly with the motherboard. I didn't realise until the end that the other side was a glass panel! Really good work there. I am looking to mod my 5000D AF by adding a screen, what would you recommend to use?

[@spiffvideo7920]

Amazing

[@madhubalapandey7870]

Good love it bro

[@quest_shop]

oh god... this is sooooooooooooooooooo nice

[@TylerThomasArt]

i have never been this early recommendations hooked me up for this but I love the builds they're sick.

[@swizzler8053]

You aren't early. You are eleven minutes late 😉

[@TylerThomasArt]

@@swizzler8053 i made the comment earlier than it said cause i edited it but ok

[@ultranik8408]

SO FIRE~

[@lonster3000]

For a minute there I thought you were going to do an inverted layout, would be awesome. But still a very impressive build!

[@VolcanoPenguin]

The cast is off now bois. But of course it never stopped him from making absolutely gorgeous af builds in the first place, but still nice to see recovery.

[@YourMom-lt2xk]

you should be getting more views/likes than this, these builds are too beautiful to go unseen

[@jonathonschott]

I do have to wonder what a non follower of your channel is going to think of the hand shot. Epic. And another nice build. I'm using that exact same phanteks 120mm distro plate in my build, building in a o11 air mini and I have to re drill some mounting holes for it because my vertical gpu pushes it up past the mounting holes in the case. Thankfully I have only had to modify my case slightly to get my build to work.

[@jromano1987]

i would love a deep dive into how you design and make those distro plates.

[@felixrichter5283]

just WOW...

[@johnpatricklim4509]

Happy to see the cast is gone...a good physio exercise to strengthen your hand by building a PC...keep it up....

[@johnwood9293]

Nice build. And your hand is better!

[@gamertechlive1780]

Solid color coolants looks great but but but will definitely clog the cold plate fins over time even on a timely manner maintenance. That's why I like to use clear coolants.

[@hassans3426]

Usually I am lazy to give likes. Iam not special or anything but I do not give likes always. but damn you so deserve it on this build. Bravo. just stunningly beautiful. wow

[@GGFEvents]

Thank you

[@dendiclaudio4193]

god damn why you always make good build man i am jealous -_-

[@r0f3ll0s]

I love your creativity and craftsmanship. You should get insurance on your hands 😉 This and your recent O58 Build inspired me to build one of my own. How was the paintjob on the Terminal of the Heatkiller V GPU Waterblock? It looks like you painted it white to blend in with the theme.

[@dcxSpartan117]

Only one downside do this that and friend of mine noticed in a very similar build with the distro plate is that the cpu temps are a little higher since the warmer coolant from the gpu is feeding the cpu, we used slim 360 and 240mm rads mounted in the same location. Granted the temps on the cpu basically stayed at 50c which still is not bad at all

[@kampret43]

Beautiful like always.. but can you make a beautiful system like this with air cooled ?

[@Mr_Inception]

a ' Enthusiastic Specialist on Work..!!!

[@-a6833]

A mnasterpiece as always, how did you hook up those lcd panels ribbon cables?

[@SM41K]

Красивое! 😉

[@solusquinto3086]

Great Build! The only thing I would have done different, I would have painted the inner IO backplates of the Graphics Card and WD Black Card. Just because you already paid so much attention to details and the silver and black backplates really stick out.

[@Polotm1]

And maybe an orange coolant

[@Adam.Olszewski]

Hats off! Great project

[@GGFEvents]

Thank you. Very soon. New digital expo coming soon.

[@C3drix]

I love your builds, but every time you are using those small monitors inside a build I wonder where you get them from and how you connect them.

[@1dakikadakarakalem]

💛

[@anthonylee5305]

WOW! Awesome looking build I have to say. Just as a matter of interest, the motherboard..that isnt stock standard is it? What did it start out as (which model)? NVM I think it's the Phantom Gaming X.. Nice board and love what you did with it.

[@technewsfortechnoobs]

damn....you beat me to it. But, while I was absolutely waiting for Phanteks to get off their ass and make a white Evolv X, I heard about the upcoming Hyte Y60. That's is now going to be my rigs new home when it is released in March. Although, I feel it is a bit of a missed opportunity to go with frosted tubed here and pair it with EK's Frosted CPU block.

[@NeonNion]

Stunning build! What type of led stripes did you use to get that beautiful back lit effect?

[@GGFEvents]

Just any led strip would work. I used about 3 30cm lengths. Think these were Ek ones

[@TravSmitty]

The passthrough method you use is amazing. I am wondering how you get such precise points for your pass throughs.

[@GGFEvents]

I'll make note and cover in the mod build video

[@TravSmitty]

@@GGFEvents Appreciate it. Great work and I enjoy watching your builds. Mine are not near as impressive. I do get ideas from your videos though.

[@dennissmith1435]

Beautiful. One Question, what about the other miscellaneous cables? Where do they route. I don't see them in the build.

[@osamely_varan]

i would like to see where is the pump, how is it installed and such.

[@limitedhangoutlive]

Can you do a tutorial on creating back panels and floor panels like you do? I am at that level now where I want to take it to the next step and it is driving me crazy I don't know where to start with custom pieces like that.

[@mad0nion929]

Wow, what a beauty.. i wonder how long the acrylic backwall would last?! How did you tighten the socket screws for the MoBo on it?

[@GGFEvents]

It should for a very long time. 10mm thick and all threads were tapped

[@benedictcanyoncomputers5227]

Not me trying to figure out when Phanteks released a new 120mm distro only to find out its just flipped upside down...

[@xchirpimabirdx8816]

@GGFEvents Happen to have the measurements of those acrylic panels?
