Let's Review - Phanteks P400s Tempered Glass

[@chiptheripog5863]

Very good video. Really informative. Answered all of the questions I had about it. Plan on buying this in a couple months

[@Zero_oshi]

if you hold down the RGB button you can switch through breathing, color cycle, static or off lighting modes.

[@Zero_oshi]

Adamant IT i figured this by accident haha

[@TakeThis_L]

Too bad there isn’t a breathing mode that also changes colours.

[@controlthenight]

Very thorough review. Thank you for taking the time to create this review.

[@haikopaiko]

Just bought this case,getting ready to build in it, nice video, thanks for making this!

[@ZenAndPsychedelicHealingCenter]

Great review and it gives a much better idea of what the case is about than many others I've seen on here.

[@ryanrobbins22]

Those white pop off covers that you said were for cables is meant for the add on bracket for haed drives. You buy them separately. So the case can handle 6 3.5 drives.

[@StreamerHighlightsSH]

nice review, planning to get this case for my new ryzen build

[@mar1usro884]

too hot

[@vincitomniaveritas3981]

An excellent review, very thorough and your narration is pleasant!

[@sig7707]

I know this in an old build but I have a very similar setup with my AIO cooling system in the front like you have. My question is are you pushing the air from the case through the radiator out the front or pulling it from the front through the radiator into the case? Top and case fans set to exhaust?

[@Adamant_IT]

Pulling in through the front, exhausting out the back/top. Airflow direction makes very little difference to a case, as long as there's actually a direction.

[@mato12348]

Thats exactly what I struggling about... AIO radiator is heat exchanger, and heat should go out of the computer, not into computer...so for me sounds like bullshit pulling hot air in when it's need cold air... In my optinion it will be better fit 120mm aio on back as exhaust and fans on front as intake, for bigger radiator get different case. If I'm wrong, please let me know

[@Mostach89]

Whats the differece between this phanteks model and the first model with that small window of temper glass?

[@FlintG]

I am going to get this case in red and black since I have the B450 Gaming Plus motherboard from MSI that is red and black. Can't wait to start building!

[@DragonNexus]

Fantastic video, very well explained, not full of "Erms" and "Ums". Not waffly either, enough detail for me to get what you mean without feeling lost. Excellent! I'll definitely check out more =)

[@Crunken]

i know i'm pretty late to comment xd but how is are the temps with this case? thinking about getting it for my new build but i'm concerned with the airflow with the small intake, is it fine or is it better to go with something more open?

[@Crunken]

@@Adamant_IT I saw that they're releasing a full mesh front version next month, similar to the meshify c, I think I'll go for that one, but thanks for the quick reply!

[@BeachSalad]

What are the cables on the back, What are they for?

[@Jman-eg9zp]

How do you feel about the airflow, specifically the front panel? I have an enthoo evolv matx tower and I have been very dissapointed with the cooling, thing is a straight hot box. Seems like this one would be a bit better but some people say it its still pretty bad, again the front panel specifically. Only reason I am comtemplating the meshify c by fractal design over this case.

[@TheKymysysmerkki]

Jonathan Manieri Front panel closed h115i aio liquid temps while gaming 40c (pretty loud due high fan speeds) and if i take front panel off liquid temps drops to 34c (this is the quiet mode when you can actualy use computer without earmuffs 😅)

[@wnose]

I've read of heat buildup issues. Some users use the top and back as intakes, and the front as exhaust. They also flip the power supply so that it sucks out from the interior.

[@goatsrecon]

When mounting a front rad. What are some pro/cons if any at all when mounting the rad first or fans first?

[@TakeThis_L]

Any ideas on adding extra fans? mine get loud under load.. maybe an extra 120mm in front? or put two 140mm's in front for intake and use stock fan for rear top exhaust?

[@TakeThis_L]

Adamant IT okay thank you, the reason why I want to do this is because I have oc’d my gpu and it gets too loud. It’s a pretty standard build I was thinking fans would bring in more airflow and keep it cooler but maybe not, I’ll have to invest in some quieter fans then cause gpu will run too hot if I throttle the fans.

[@emmanuel6443]

wich sive if that radiator??? if you use an one fan ratiator u can use other 2 fans in the front???

[@ue9348]

Would you recommend using a front mounted rad aio, or a cryorig cpu cooling block instead? For this case.

[@supermadkid]

How effective is the noise dampening foam/sheet when under full load in a gaming session? I need a quiet case for a system that will be right next to me on my desk and it's between this, nzxt h440 and be quiet pure base 600. Current case is a corsair 230t and it sounds like a jet engine when gaming due to no sound dampening whatsoever.

[@Pr0sacK]

Great video. I've owned this case for about 4 months now and I love it. It's worth mentioning, however, that the included RGB light strip is not standard. An adapter was required to utilize my on board RGB controller on my motherboard (not a huge deal, $5 on Amazon). There definitely is plenty of space in here, perfect for a reservoir which will be my next addition.

[@comradeq2493]

Do the under hue lights sync with your rgb software? What type of adapter do you need for the strip?

[@paulphillips5128]

Hi Adam, using this case for a first build with asus z370-a mobo and i7-8700k chip. I basically have one fan on the rear for exhaust that I plugged into the top right of mobo and will water cool with the same corsair H100i v2 you used or close to it. Where did you plug the serial controller cable into that you showed in your vid? I've already plugged the 3 I/o cables into the bottom right of my mobo for pwr, reset & led so not sure I need that serial connector? Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks, Paul

[@crazyrevolution2]

I have 2 140mm intake fans and 1 140mm top exhaust and 1 120mm rear exhaust, is that overkill?

[@axelengdahl7674]

Great video

[@superwheejo]

I just bought the non-s P400 TG, it's really nice looking, rgb control is nice and ez to use.

[@ruibinchen5973]

Can I put the aio Corsair h100 v2 on the top?

[@rhindleMM]

If I move the back fan to the front fan to help it, can I fit 2 fans on top and 1 on back to take air out?

[@rhindleMM]

Thanks, would it be overkill to have 2 front intake fans, 2 top extake fans and one back extake fan?

[@rhindleMM]

Okay thanks, so if I put one in the front, one on top, and one one back, it would be adequate

[@rhindleMM]

Okay, thanks for all the help!!

[@giuspeppino]

good review.....is it really quiet (with the top covers installed)? I'm undecided between this and Fractal Define C for my new pc (the configuration will be very basic without dedicated video card)

[@giuspeppino]

thanks...and the Phanteks, wich is bigger than Fractal, should also allow better airflow, I suppose....another question, how many fans can I connect to fan controller?

[@ZodeeRL]

Hello, I'm back again! I started building in this case yesterday and I'm just wondering which cable I need to connect to get power to the rgb strip? There was none included I think.

[@ZodeeRL]

Adamant IT yeah I already found it, I only thought it was weird to have a random header om the other end and thought it had to go somewhere too

[@eddieb10071987]

Great video!! I'm currently looking to build myself a new computer and can't decide between this case, FD Meshify C or the S340 Elite... Advice?

[@WukSRB]

Meshify C now has a version with brighter glass as well. You can check www.fractal-design.com/home/product/cases/meshify . I also didnt like the darkened glass. Cheers .

[@germanchoish]

Hello Nice video, can you tell me how to place the nzxt x62 coolers on the front panel? what side do you put them in or take out air?

[@germanchoish]

Would not a lot of hot air get in because of the radiator in the cabinet? That is my great doubt...

[@germanchoish]

Thank you very much for your answer

[@MrBook123456]

Very good video

[@ZodeeRL]

If I have an AIO with included fans on the front and then place the two included case fans on the top, would that be enough airflow to cool my pc for a month before I have money for new fans? I have Asus ROG Strix motherboard with i7-8700K and 16GB dom. plat. RAM on it and Asus ROG Strix gtx 1080 is my graphics card. *Thanks in advance!*

[@ZodeeRL]

Adamant IT Alright, thanks!

[@hugy]

well infact... you should probably stick with only 1 outtake. you wanna create positive pressure inside your case so that dust doesnt get in. With that in mind, you're better of with two intakes (your AIO) and only one outtake (behind the case)

[@ZodeeRL]

Hugy Yeah but I've tried that, I rather clean it than putting my gpu in thermal throttle. And yes, the negative air pressure lowers my gpu temp compared to the other options :)

[@agac130]

Nice review Adamant IT. I just ordered this case to replace my Thermaltake Level 10gt. I am downsizing to save space. Hope I like this new case as much as I have loved the Level 10.

[@mitthjarta5]

Huge flaw with the 3.5" Drive bays, the bottom screw alignment nub and side nubs in the "2nd position" prevent you installing NAS drives, Just installed an 8TB NAS in mine, and had to butcher it by hacking the 3 aforementioned nubs off, without doing so you simply can not re-insert the bay back into the case. Was a bit of a pain, but being little bits of plastic you can hack off with a Stanley knife/scalpel means it's not the end of the world. (really irked me though). That issue aside, I agree it is quite a splendid case (:

[@rdoc]

I would like to know if anyone is having issues with temps due to the front panel being quite closed off.

[@rtyui136]

I saw a comparison on the temps between the P400A which is the airflow version of this case with a mesh front, and the difference was about 1-2 degrees farenheit. The video was either by Greg Salazar or HardwareCanucks if you want to find it. Seems fine, I'm gonna get this case in a month or two so I'll try and remember to let you know how the temps hold up.

[@Hoobastank13]

rtyui136 will be building in this in next week or so will also give updates 😎

[@Skyrim279]

Awesome Review! Is there enough space for a Corsair h60 rad and fan on the rear?

[@mato12348]

Did somebody tried that?

[@Skyrim279]

@@mato12348 I have the case but not the H60, it should fit regardless because the radiator width is the same as the fan, maybe try to browse some builds with these 2 parts on pcpartpicker

[@dhmoon7354]

I have p400s but I couldn’t light up the rgb can anyone tells me how?

[@dhmoon7354]

Adamant IT never mind it was my mistake,I forgot to plug that wide cable comes with the case.sorry for my bad English 😅 anyway everything is ok now. thanks

[@senorskellig9131]

Can this case fit a 3 fan gpu?

[@Adamant_IT]

Yes, no problem!

[@senorskellig9131]

Adamant IT thank you so much

[@Marco-sd2yg]

is the case a full tower?

[@Marco-sd2yg]

ok thanks

[@paulhermeya2468]

((Please Reply Back ASAP)) I am getting this same exact casing and i am thinking of putting in mothwrboard MSI Z370 GAMING PRO CARBON LGA-1551 Coffee Lake DDR4 ATX Gaming Motherboard. Would it fit this case?

[@benjaminmcewan6753]

The box says P400 not P400S - how do you know its the S not just the P400 - its a nice case. Lots of different colours

[@benjaminmcewan6753]

BIG problem I had with this case was EVGA power supply CPU cable didnt reach so well to the socket at motherboard near top of case - Did your case come with any RGB light etc?

[@benjaminmcewan6753]

The case I got doesn't come with RGB strip anywhere...hmm I think this is actually the P400 you got still

[@benjaminmcewan6753]

EVGA is a good quality brand. The cable is actually long it just struggled to reach so far...

[@crismil]

Where did You plugged in The rgb led stips?

[@macdee6040]

Yes, there is a plug there. I thought mine didn't come with the plug, but I realized after I installed my fans on the front, it was right behind it and didn't notice it. But yes, it is there.

[@mrBytemare]

Why on earth would you have the fans on the radiator on the inside? You would def want the fans on the other side, so it pulls cold air on the radioator, not hot air from within the case.

[@mrBytemare]

Yeah I know what you mean :) aslong your happy that what counts :) cool vid btw!

[@TheKymysysmerkki]

Hows ur aio liquid temps? My h115i got up to 40c no matter i did :D

[@TheKymysysmerkki]

Adamant IT well i have 7700k delided :D gpu temps were okay but didnt like those cpu temps with this case xD

[@TheKymysysmerkki]

Adamant IT i already changed case and went from h115i to ekwb a240g kit :Dd

[@FATEYYYY]

Hello Nice video just a quick question. Can this cabinet support ZOTAC Amp Extreme Gtx 1080 with 280mm Aio mounted at front?

[@FATEYYYY]

Adamant IT Thanks for the fan size answer, but what about the clearance with ZOTAC Amp Extreme graphics card which is 325 mm long? Can I have both the Graphics card and the 280mm Aio without interference?

[@FATEYYYY]

Adamant IT Thank you very much for helping. Which one would you suggest between Phanteks Enthoo pro m TG and Phanteks P400s TG for Zotac amp extreme graphics card? Any other suggestions(in Mid towers) are also welcome. What about Nzxt S340? Please help me get the best case for my graphics card as it's huge!

wtf i have looked at every case review of this case but its not like mine. i have looked at both p400s and p400 i have the same case with exactly same box but mine doesnt have the fan controll image on top and the top vent only come with one see through magnet lid and not like yours. i do have the fan controll button though but its not clickable.

Maybe you got the smaller version if there is one
