Phanteks Enthoo Evolv Mini-ITX Case Review

[@KJT365]

this was an unexpected roller coaster

[@dlloyd6300]

I had no clue what you were talking about until i got later in the video! X-D

[@skrrtycurty1606]

yeah it starts with the ssd and then BOOM car crash

[@knifesk]

@@skrrtycurty1606 I really didn't saw that coming hahaha

[@sidesw1pe]

wow you guys weren't kidding!

[@Iamnobodyimportant]

This is one of the most dramatic case build in KZbin history....glad you are ok

[@KuyaRobbieGaming]

dang man i'm sorry to hear about your accident! i know it's been awhile but i did find this review helpful!

[@ibizenco]

Gee, that was quite a story! I had never heard of Phanteks, but I purchased the "tempered glass" edition of the Enthoo Pro, and the more Phanteks cases I see, the more I am becoming a a phan of Phanteks.

[@AhmedAli-ot9wv]

To be honest man I was about t get this case but when I saw your review I kinda feel bad for what happened to you and I just don't want get it no more , anyway I hope you're doing better my friend keep it safe .

[@WSGF]

Sorry I turned you off of it. Look at the Micro-ATX version.

[@greenwithenvee2337]

Well that's pretty dumb considering it had nothing to do with the case

[@AhmedAli-ot9wv]

Christopher Green it's just emotional part my friend no need to be rude .

[@Daxter296]

This is the first video of yours I've watched, I'm sorry you had to go through all of that!

[@FFFan3445]

Geez, dude. You went through quite a bit. Any chance you'd get credit for me buying the black/black version of the ITX case through your link? Not keen on red, personally.

[@WSGF]

Yea. It was a rough road. I'll get the commission for whatever you buy, after clicking the Amazon link here. Doesn't have to be that specific item.

[@FFFan3445]

WSGF Ha, I feel like a jackass, I should be clicking these links before I make any Amazon purchases. I don't get why your subscriber count isn't massive, you're WSGF! You're huge! I guess it's just the KZbin that hasn't taken off, I dunno. Keep at it and you'll do fine. If you want your channel to grow, you may wanna consider posting settings configuration videos - like, here's how to get (insert popular game) working optimally on a 3440x1440 monitor, here are some benchmarks, yadda yadda. Quantity is key, man, you'd probably see steady growth with two videos a week. Heck, one a week would be good. No pressure, you're the boss, just making some suggestions. Just hurts to see your viewcounts on your quality content. You've certainly got big growth potential. ✓

[@WSGF]

I appreciate the kinds words. While the website is Legend, I wasn't good about jumping on KZbin early. And once I did, I've not been good about posting regularly. I'm trying to get where I'm posting more consistency. I think I have a unique voice in the industry. I've just got to be properly productive and put time into the video production. Thanks again for the kind words and encouragement.

[@FFFan3445]

WSGF I just ordered the black-on-black ITX version of this case using your affiliate link, hopefully you get dem commission bucks, yo. Seems like a good case and you did a good job selling me on it. I recently put my Ryzen 7 1700 and a Vega 64 in a Node 202, and I ended up not being too happy with my inability to overclock the 1700 and my GPU thermal-throttling at full load, even with a nice undervolt and an aftermarket Morpheus II GPU cooler. This case will allow me to back to 3.9GHz on my 1700 with an AIO, and the improved airflow should keep my Vega at a good temperature, with room to swap to a Kraken+AIO if my Morpheus II proves insufficient. Expecting good things out of this case, I just hope I can elegantly stuff a buncha hard drives in it. My Node has two 2.5" 2TB Firecudas, a 240GB SanDisk SSD and a 500GB NVME, would be cool if I can throw in one of my older 3.5" HDDs. I've got a 3TB WD Green and a 1TB WD Black in storage, would love to fit the Green in there for movies or old games. But yeah, thanks again for the review, it helped reassure me the purchase would rule.

[@teamextreme86]

what a story teller !!!!!! dude . good job

[@CurrentRapCurrents]

oh my... i hope all is going better for you now. best wishes. nice review nonetheless.

[@martinw245]

Just to say. DO NOT populate the motherboard with it lying on the anti static bag. This actually encourages static discharge damage. The bags act like a Faraday cage and protect what's INSIDE, not what is lying on top. Far better to use the box it came in

[@Tekillyah]

Painted my 2nd hand enthoo evolv itx from red to all black. Man I would love that 1080 hybrid! Also hope you recovered well.

[@oblivionlord1242]

Why would you ruin a perfectly good looking case

[@Tekillyah]

@@oblivionlord1242 Tired of the red, went Black/Green theme.

[@zwerker]

Bought this case and an Asus Maximus VIII Impact mobo (both used) today. Was planning to build a Minecraft server machine, but the case is so sweet that I'm considering turning it into my daily driver instead.

[@trashken]

Good review. Thanks for putting this up. Sorry to hear about your SSD and crash. Get well soon!

[@Ulieq]

That case is fucking gorgeous.

[@guiltygearcore]

Nice build and review sir. Damn that was a hell of a case build you've been through sir. XD

[@santiagoferrari1973]

Lol I read your comment at the first part of the video and thought you were exaggerating

[@pierrewalter8838]

Damn the end of the video xD Epic test - highest difficulty preset

[@dramoth64]

Whoa... and I thought my build in one of these cases took a while. It's a fantastic looking case... I have an i7 9th gen processor and a ROG Strix Mb. I set it up as my hackentosh pro. I'm about to upgrade from 8Gb of ram to 32 with a nice theme related (red and black shrouding on the ram).

[@ibbert]

Aw man hell of an unlucky time. Hope you recovered fine!

[@WSGF]

Thanks. I'm doing quite well.

[@robertohoffmannmartinez9796]

¿Qué hay de las temperaturas? Tengo un 1070ti híbrido y un 8400 en un H700i y estoy pensando en cambiarme a una configuración ITX con este Evolv, pero estoy preocupado por el frente cerrado

[@dignes3446]

Surprised that Hollywood still didn't adept this Survival story.

[@kiwigeeknz]

Nice build. What did you do with the Corsair 380T case you pulled stuff out of? I wish they still made these.

[@rehm9420]

how much did the build cost in total, yes i see the links but im too lazy to use a calculator and plug in numbers and all that

[@jophelcario9021]

Hello sir. Hoping for your fast recovery. Great video! I have the same motherboard and planning to buy the same case. Is the case perfect for the board? I find my current case troublesome since almost all of the cables are routed to the top from the side. Doesnt look tidy at all.

[@santiagoferrari1973]

No intake fans at the front?

[@fraserernie9411]

Fuck man you went through alot, I subscribed though as your constant was great.

[@nazdaq1185]

Appreciate the video! Good inputs.

[@captainfuture5984]

You were really unlucky at the time, man. I hope you're better now.

[@WSGF]

Thanks. Largely back to the same out of shape, moderately overweight dude I've been for a while.

[@RogerDiotte]

Wow...what a review phew! Normally I'd be like ya whatever but this sh*t storm of a story and the twists was ummm intriguing! Now, am I going to leap for mATX now as I did want mITX. LOL.

[@nyxon_x]

Hey, i just wanted to know your gpu idle and while gaming , temp . I like this case but i am very worried for gpu being too close to psu and having not that much of a space between the two. I also own Noctua nh-d14 will this fit in the case?

[@WSGF]

Idle with the GTX 1080 Hybrid was 34C. A half hour with the Heaven benchmark was 57C.

[@adri.khaz.6290]

Jeeeeeeeeez, hope all is well.

[@WSGF]

Going quite well now. Thanks.

[@Champagnerushi]

You've been though it all

[@bossmanmatt89]

Would i have to worry about the height of a graphics card? Thinking about putting an MSI 1080 Duke into this case if it will work.

[@WSGF]

I think so, yes. Even the Radeon Vega 56 that I put in had issues squeezing in.

[@bossmanmatt89]

Thank you!

[@mos8391127]

Is it true that u have to remove the drive cages if you want to mount a let say 240mm radiator in front?

[@WSGF]

The instructions don't show that, but in measuring mine, I think that will be the case.

[@mos8391127]

WSGF I see thanks alot!

[@paulloco1761]

what is the GPU height clearance?

[@Dino_0317]

How good is the airflow in this

[@WSGF]

I find it to be really good. Front is a full filter with lots space between the filter and the front panel. There's a 140mm fan in the back and space for a 280mm rad or 2x 140mm fans in the top. I hit the temp in my review with no front intake.

[@Dino_0317]

WSGF so the front is only a mesh? I’m trying to build a build with a 2600x and an rx 580 you think my rx 580 would choke?

[@WSGF]

I think it will be fine. Start watching at 6:45, you can see the front panel and then the mesh dust filter behind it.

[@Dino_0317]

WSGF you can’t put fans there? I can see some screws but i’m probably wrong

[@WSGF]

You attach them to the frame behind the dust filter. You can do 2x 120mm or 2x 140mm fans. You can also do a 240mm rad in the front. Scroll down or click the "View Full Specs" button here - phanteks.com/Enthoo-Evolv-ITX-TemperedGlass.html

[@ybotikzz9315]

does it need a smaller power supply that normal?

[@WSGF]

No, it uses a standard sized power supply. If it's a really long one, you may have a tight fit with cables and the drive cages. But Phanteks doesn't list any limits.

[@ybotikzz9315]

@@WSGF ok thanks

[@Sarge-R1]

that,s a hell of story but the build looks good

[@eric.4301]

Does it fit a sapphire rx 5700

[@WSGF]

It should fit. The Phanteks website says it supports GPUs up to 330mm. And the Sapphire website says their Pulse RX5700 is 254mm long. www.phanteks.com/Enthoo-Evolv-ITX-TemperedGlass.html

[@eric.4301]

@@WSGF thanks

[@jboy1757]

no fans on the front?

[@WSGF]

No. I had initially looked at putting the GPU AIO in the front, but the hoses were twisting funky. The GPU is pulling air into the case from that front corner. Another intake fan probably would help some, but the thermals were pretty good, and the CPU was nowhere near throttling.

[@xXturbo86Xx]

If the watercooled GPU went up to 57...i guess any aircooled one will simply melt in that box.

[@rick3037]

sorry to say but when a tech or when a person says they are a pc tech and users an apple item as imac or iphone i can say you know very little about tech as you killed your ssd and forgot to do stuff then yes your not good or know very little about pc building and the video card you use you know you can use a GTX 980 ti that is just as good and can be better then the 10 series card that your using sorry but the hardware that is in that pc is just wrong sorry but i just have to say plz get to know your hardware first and understand why and apple item is not compatible with a lot of software all apple did was take a free os like unix changed it a little then put apple on it so they can sell it very lame

[@WSGF]

Sorry that you're such a Linux fanboy that even the sight of an iPhone causes you to break out into a fit of judgmentalism. I've been building PCs since I had to populate 640KB of RAM by hand on an XT motherboard. My guess is you're just salty from your broken Macbook Pro six years ago. Making a mistake doesn't mean that someone isn't good at tech. Mistakes happen. Kind of like letting your expensive notebook get smashed in elevator doors, right? It could also be that when I bought the 1080 Hybrid, the 980 TI had been off the market for years. So, it wouldn't have been hard to purchase a new one at the time. And I'm not sure what you mean by "understand why and (sic) apple (sic) item is not compatible with a lot of software". I didn't use any Apple items on this PC build. And my comment about the incoming call pausing the video recording was in relation to the Filmic Pro iOS app I use on the iPhone. I'm pretty sure that iPhones are compatible with native iOS apps. Again, sorry for your saltiness. But feel free to buy your own hardware, your own AV equipment, and start up your own KZbin channel. Then you can show me how it's really done.

[@Bot_Brad]

I stopped watching cause I didn’t want any of your luck.

[@Tpecep]

its big not itx at all

[@WSGF]

It is ITX. It only supports and has space for a mini-ITX motherboard. It's just not SFF (Small Form Factor).

[@Tpecep]

@@WSGF I know bro, I have same looking build in black version of this with 2700x and 1080 strix, check my last short video if you want to see it :) But this case is fucking huge, that's dissapointing a little
