Phanteks Enthoo Pro Full Tower Case Overview by www.mnpctech.com

[@MaxellAdGuy]

I've finished making full view clear window side panels by request for the Phanteks Pro & Luxe cases here, mnpctech.com/phanteks-case-mods/

[@styxwickorfrost811]

***** Bill, I'm not sure if you're going to reply but I hope you do, but if you rotate the 280 around with the ports on the top, will the 280 fit without the need of drilling holes?

[@greenmarine5]

I've had this case for 5 years now, it's been threw about 3 builds and many mods. Awesome Awesome case!!

[@MaxellAdGuy]

Yes, great case! Thanks for watching, btw I make other cool stuff for your PC in my workshop. visit my store, mnpctech.com and use my DISCOUNT code, MNFAN at check out for 10% off your order

[@MasterGGG]

This is probably the best case I have ever used.

[@deputybluevein93]

I agree. I've had it since 2016. I took my PC apart recently this year to clean out my components. To my surprise there was minimal dust build after 4 years. It's solid built and has sooo many options to maneuver. Simple yet elegant

[@emilio27548]

Fantastic review. It hasn't lost any relevance seven years later. I'm actually using it as a reference to configure and install my cooling fans. Good stuff.

[@halistinejenkins5289]

best case reviewer on youtube hands down.

[@MaxellAdGuy]

thank you, and thanks for watching!

[@jimbrannan5825]

I got on of these in 2021 and it still looks and works great. The specs say it comes with 2 ssd mounting brackets but only has one but they sell them for $9 on Amazon. They say the case has 2 places to mount ssd's but it looks like there are really 3, with one on the motherboard side and 2 on the backside, one down low that they don't talk about. I don't care for the way the drive cages block the front fan but I guess the pressure will push the air through somehow. i have added the 3 fans up top and I'm sure it will cool just fine. My MB and SSD's come today and I will finish it up.

[@charleswidmore5458]

Getting the same case. (Full Glass Side Update) What MB and CPU did you use? Any problems with the CPU cooler? How is the cooling? Any issues I should look out for? Thanks.

[@imenhashim6943]

i wanted to take the time to say thank you for making these videos. you're the only one i know that goes into that much detail, which is what a lot of us who are planning a full custom pc need before buying, you're awesome. keep making videos

[@MaxellAdGuy]

I posted all of the factory specifications including cpu and video card in the Video Description Phanteks Enthoo Pro Full Tower Case, kzbin.info/www/bejne/naalcp9snJ11ors

[@enfieldjohn101]

Got this case earlier this week. Looking forward to building in it. Major upgrade from my Antec Nine Hundred. It was a good case in 2008, but its had several upgrades that Ive done to it, plus yearly thourough cleaning so its starting to wear out. This case here looks much easier to modify and clean. The front end of this case looks much easier to put drives in. My old case is a nightmare to work on the front. The slotted fan mounts idea is genius!

[@TheAccursedEntity]

I freaking love your reviews so much! They feel complete, very detailed and with those close ups that I like. Keep it up Bill, nice work!

[@John-lz3hf]

II appreciate you showing all the compatibilities with all the fans and coolers. Allowed me to consider many options while waiting on my case to arrive.

[@daviddeleon9290]

This case just arrived yesterday and I'm loving it, great for my home server :)

[@MaxellAdGuy]

The competition is baffled how Phanteks will make any money from the Enthoo Pro by undercutting everyone. It's very simple, Phanteks knows that people will talk about the low price, so the community does all of the marketing for them, hence saving them in advertising dollars. Phanteks Enthoo Pro Full Tower Case Overview by www.mnpctech.com

[@lukejackson1121]

And they deserve the free marketing at that. This case will probably cost an additional $100 or more to import to NZ, but I'm going to do my best to get it.

[@NicPerichon]

Luke Jackson Buy from PC Case Gear. Shipping should be equal to that of Australia.

[@lukejackson1121]

I've been considering that. Problem is I don't know if they'll ship to NZ.

[@NicPerichon]

Yes. I can vouch for that.

[@Forgivefull]

Low key i got the PEP2 simply because of word to mouth.

[@quiznexfisher8145]

Jeez, this case has it all. I think I know what I'm buying for my next build (windowless variant. Not a window case type of guy). And it is VERY cost effective compared to other big name brands. Just an incredible case. Thanks for reviewing this item.

[@SLI732]

Really enjoyed your thorough review, especially going over all the pieces and placement options! I have the full tempered glass side window version of the Enthroo Pro case for a couple of years. I am glad Phantek offers a lot of customization and cable management options.

[@HunterMM1]

Wow this case looks simply amazing, such quality and ease of use for an extremely reasonable price. I wish this was around back when i bought my Phantom full tower. This is cheaper and nicer!

[@SparkyOne549]

I just bought one 6 months ago for the cd bays alone, and all the good reviews for it. I got the tempered glass version. I love it.

Building my first p.c and this case looks amazing, can't wait to get it.

[@phodder]

Thanks for the review, couldn't come at a better time! I might just have to pick up one of these to house my rig while I work customizing the ol' 600T

[@2404charles]

I think I have fallen in love for Phanteks.

[@jir63]

Wow! Other manufacturers need to up their game. Phanteks has delivered two very persuading offerings to market. Another top quality review Bill, Thanks man.

[@holyhelga]

as i use lots of normal harddives still this was one of the only cases i could find with enough drive bays but its great that if you dont need the bays you can remove them easily

[@MaxellAdGuy]

agreed! and thanks for watching! If you need anything elser for your PC, visit my store, mnpctech.com and use my DISCOUNT code, MNFAN at check out for 15% off your order.

[@WheatPasta]

22:13 Thanks for this. My air cooler is on its last legs so I ordered an AIO. I almost bought a 280, but I have my drive bays full. So I ended up going with a 240. Your video helped me avoid a headache so I appreciate it

[@MaxellAdGuy]

Thats great! Thank you for watching .... Bill at www.mnpctech.com

[@T.K.9]

I am sold!, Gonna get myself 1 of these soon after Amazon refunds me back need to replace my too tight of a midi case... But ye, so far this is the type of video that I like, very comprehensive and wouldn't mind the 30 minute watching time, totally worth it. From all the case reviews I have seen, this is one of the best comprehensive one's, going through each and every part of it + putting sample mounting points for rads etc, no doubt this video is the way to go for reviews.!. I'ma subscribe too, very good helpful content !

[@docdeth904]

I got it without the window so I could cut my own custom window into it. Not everyone likes the stock look. It's the reason I buy cougar fans in bulk.. Love the orange look.

[@10ee]

Totally agreed with you at 24:30. I bought a $44.99 Corsair Spec-01 case, drilled out the optical bays and stuck a 360mm medium sized radiator in the front. Tools? Power drill with 1/8" drill bit, that's it. If I want to re-install it I can use 6-32 or 8-32 or M4 machine screws to put it all back together. I think I bought 100 quarter-inch M4 machines screws for $3.99.

[@danield.8615]

The coolest (and best) review of this case in the net. Thank you! If anything isn't covered in this video, you should go to a doctor.

[@ShrineOfLife]

best in-depth review of the enthoo pro out there, and I watched a lot. Thank you Bill Owen, was great to watch, smooth voice, really enjoyable overall, welcome your new subscriber :) greets from germany!

[@pattas2005]

Thank you SO MUCH for this. I'm just installing a new Corsair radiator and I couldn't see where I could unscrew the front and top panels. I didn't want to just prise them off in case I damaged something! You've saved me a lot of time 🙂 Subbed!

[@keithfrank1303]

Ordering the pro case for an Intel I 9 12900K .. planing to use a 240 AIO on top . ( no over clocking ) update build was finished the case was perfect no issues with stand offs or mounting the AIO plenty of room to plug accessories into motherboard . And nice part the optical drive was able to be installed with AIO installed . I 9 at idle is around 24 C .. . Cable management awesome . Looks great in the dark with the big side window . Gave PC to wife … I still have a key to the door ..LOL

[@davidclarkenumber1]

As always nice in depth review Bill. Considering price and build quality Phanteks have really knocked this one out of the park. Other case manufacturers will have to take note.

[@deputybluevein93]

This is what you call a in depth review. Very informative. Cheers pal

[@jadeprinces]

Well done,this is how case review should look like.

[@163395k]

Very detailed. thank you very much i almost felt like the case was mine . Subscribed

[@mariuszszewczyk2277]

Was hoping you would review this case. Its beyond expectations to say the least. Gotta get the store i work for to carry it asap. Too bad i just got another case. Would get phanteks without a second thought otherwise.

[@dijosoul]

Quality in-depth review. Great job. And good on Phanteks making such a great case available at a great price. I'll most definitely be looking into getting my hands on one.

[@giovani5586]

overview? this is a badass review! Great as always Bill

[@MireWolf29]

Even though my gaming rig is currently in a Cooler Master Storm Trooper, I may have to get one of these. I really like the looks and features.

[@satanshollowd]

I get the "right tool for the job" feeling about this case

[@TylertheGeek28]

Great video Bill, you gave me a lot of great info for watercooling the case. I miss the old gloss finish on the GTX rads...

[@TheIntervurt]

I saw a couple mods where they managed to put a 480 rad at the bottom but I have no clue where the power supply is.

[@Sharpe94]

We who order the windowless version are the smart ones.. I'm sure I can speak for most of us when I say that we spend 10-15$ on noice-cancelling material to use with it, for a silent, yet very agressive looking case. with alot of room and great airflow.

[@user_16309]

If I’m correct, the Phanteks fans and cases are not a standard mounting pattern/size. That’s disappointing. Again, if I’m correct. Mine is on its way. I’m buying a 200mm Phanteks fan for the top. I don’t want to have to modify the case or fan. My hope is this will be a lifelong case for me. Thanks for the video.

[@michaelrw10]

i wonder, however, if you can mount the 360 in the top without completely removing every 5.25 drive bay. It would be nice if we can just remove the top-most 5.25 bay, and leave the rest in tact.. or something like that. Can you comment on this? More specifically, I know you said you can remove the optical bays and leave the HDD bays, but what about removing a single optical. (awesome video, btw. your enthusiasm is real.. very genuine, I love it)

[@MaxellAdGuy]

You need to remove the entire 5.25 bay to fit a 360mm Radiator in the top of the Enthoo Pro. Here is the link to User's Manual PDF, www.phanteks.com/assets/manuals/PH-ES614P_Western.pdf Thanks for watching, I've pinned your comment to the top!

[@DavidCNavas]

Thanks for the answer -- the manual doesn't seem to be much help. Maybe the paper version is better? I've watched your video at least twice, and I found it incredibly insightful, and as someone whose first video was my house frame while it was being built, it's right up my alley and I really appreciated it. But I'm puzzled by your answer. From the looks of it at ~4:17, it looks like a radiator will clear the inside of the cage horizontally just fine, but you will definitely lose a bay vertically. Eyeballing, looks like about 35mm from the top of the cage to the top of the first bay, which makes putting even a 3-1/2" in the top a no go. The Enthoo Pro M basically poisons the search results for the Pro, but here's a shot of someone who has a radiator with fans in a Luxe (which has the same frame as the Pro): linustechtips.com/main/topic/211352-will-the-ek-coolstream-rad-xtx-360-fit-in-a-phanteks-enthoo-luxe/ Seems like it works?

[@JAcevedo2580]

Only thing I don't like about the case is that the dust filters in the front and top aren't as easy as the standard is now from Corsair or NZXT, Fractal Design, exc. The mounting holes in the center instead of a little offset doesn't bother me that much. But, for $100, no complaints.

[@trexxit]

I couldnt afford the Enthoo primo and got a 350D and cut back on my system, this was before this case came out, wish I would have waited.

[@RxSwolldier]

Case of the year!

[@hammaadamin7438]

Hi guys, I've been searching around, and haven't found an answer to the following question: What is the max thickness I can have for a top mounted rad coupled with 25mm thick fans (ap-14s) before I run into any interferences with the ram slots or any other motherboard components? He shows fitting a 54mm black ice rad on the top, but never talked about clearance in regards to the mobo. Also, in the part 2 of the watercooling guide found on this channel, they are shown to fit 25mm thick fans with an xt-45 on the top with some clearance left from the ram slots. Is that the max one can do with this case? Last thing; do you have to have both harddrive caddies installed in order to mount the reservoir bracket? Any help is greatly appreciated.

[@hammaadamin7438]

Ok, after some more looking around, I am now able to answer my own question; possibly clearing things up for others as well. So, to start off, you have a total of 76mm clearance from the top before you run into the ram slots on a motherboard (assuming standard ATX form factor). So, if you were to use standard 25mm thick fans, you should be able to mount a 50mm rad up top with 1mm to spare; although I don't think it will be easy. Second; the reservoir bracket mounts up top the hdd caddies, and requires the lower end of it to be screwed in to a removable retention bracket which is at the midpoint between the two cages. this retention bracket is independent in regards to the hdd caddies, so you can mount the reservoir bracket without having any hdd caddies installed. I hope this helped ;).

[@alongfortheride84]

Is it possible to keep the optical bay cage without the side cage wall? If not, I'd love to cut through the bottom 2/3 of that side wall - it's probably the only part in the whole case that bothers me.

[@DefMunkyYT]

It is already a very nice looking case, but when the 420 rad just "clicked" into place at the front it was damn sexy. lol Hard drives are easy enough to re-locate and who needs optical drives anyway? ;) It is VERY nice to see a case manufacturer build this much quality and this many options into a case at this price point. Plus it is awesome that after a few month they still haven't come to their senses and it can still be bought at $100! lol Oh yeah, I absolutely loved the Thermaltake comment. Well played, sir! :D

[@apemax19]

This is one amazing case. I would definitely buy one of these if I needed a full tower ATX case. (And if I could afford it) Really great review with lots of details as well. :)

[@Sticky0320]

Is it possible to install two 200mm fans at the top without removing [or seriously altering] the 5.25" bays? Also do they have to be phanteks brand of fans, or will any 200mm fan fit? Very informative video, I wasn't sure what case to get until I saw this.

[@dannyhigsons]

Brilliant review. this is the first case ive seen that actully makes me wanna upgrade. Thank you for the detailed strip down and fan mounting. cnt wait to see what you end up doing with it ;) will this case be available in the uk? Hope so.

[@LeNzBro]

first build and this case was the best option

[@lorckyttv8735]

thanks for your Video , this closed the deal on me getting this case, i ordered it a few days ago and i will get it next year lol im trying to find a this case with a full build

[@toihvasvenson4381]

Still going to do the Water Cooling walk through for the Entoo Pro build project?

[@nielkotze]

I currently have a NZXT Switch 810 that has 90mm space between the roof of the case and the edge of the motherboard. The Switch 810 also allows mounting fans under to top cover which makes push + pull possible with a 60mm radiator. (60mm rad + 25mm fan inside case + 25mm fan outside the case) What is the top clearance like in this case? I am considering changing my case but the lack of fan support underneath the top cover worries me a bit.

[@DLTX1007]

Bill, my PSU is actually a CM V1200 Platinum that measures 190mm long. It wouldn't fit with a 240 rad in the basement right? What a bummer. Because I also need 3 HDD bays, things have become complicated for me.

[@jose6point2]

Best review out there! Good job man!

[@Wauczie1]

Just a heads up, Was checking on a second SSD mount and Phanteks sales reply stated on my question that parts will be able to be purchased at the end of the month. 6/14

[@techtiptricks]

Question: on that front panel IO are there any wires coming from it for the Headphone and Microphone jack? I was un able to see them coming out where the wires route?

[@76darocha]

hi Bill, i cant wait for one of your mods of this case . i own it myself and man im hitching to mod it too. : ) here goes the official request : Can you please modify this case? good luck, have a good one!

[@brechanfraser5797]

I know you stated that it would fit a Black Ice 55 mm thick radiator; what about offerings from other radiator companies, such as XSPC's RX (version 2) series radiators @ 64 mm thick, or some of the Monsta radiators?

[@JerryNeutron]

Good radiator info, thanks

[@emilio15216]

Can this case fit a 360 radiator on top without removing 5,25 bays ?

[@michaelreed6858]

Ok I took out my hdd cages and 5.25 bays to install my evga 280 aio in the front for a traditional push/pull setup. Now i have a huge hole in front on my tower with no way to fill it. What can i do?

[@Scottyman99]

Bill, Can you make a custom top panel that will permit the use of fans above the frame yet remain concealed under the top panel? Or, will the Enthoos Luxe top panel fit on the Pro since the Luxe has fans right under the top panel.

[@NickNinjaHD]

When will this be out on newegg? I saw the preorder but I don't wanna buy it now and wait a while for the shipping or ill buy it on new egg for a shorter shipping time.

[@BramSLI1]

Awesome review! I'm thinking of getting this one.

[@maltepalte95]

So they Changed the PWM hubb? I have the molex connected on my Primo. and can controll my fans.

Great case. I think DDR slots are smaller problems than massive motherboard heatsinks. I want to fit in a 360/45 rad in the top, but that will be really tight, maybe offsetting the rad to the 140 slots will help. I'm also really like the luxe, and with that you can fit fans under the to cover. But there's no release date for it. :-(

[@1trueJ]

You should probably just use one of Alphacool's 30mm full copper NeXxXoS radiators.

[@MooTaters]

Still think it would be nice if that front filter came off in some other way than removing the whole bezel. I mean I'd pay $20-30 extra for that awesome case if some things like that were made more maintenance friendly. Part of that comes from currently owning a 600T, though I guess that bezel looks easier than the 600T's for removal. Also wouldn't mind some form of physical fan controller, as I don't generally use the PWM motherboard controls for anything beyond the CPU heatsink fan(s). Anyways nice review, always enjoy them(and your other videos), even though I'm not a modder

[@anon5321]

My case is starting to be dusty. Based on your experience, do you think I can remove the filters and Fans without dissamble my PC pieces? I don't want to rebuild my own PC, I hate touching or removing any pieces, always scared to scratch or break something. I remember when I installed the CPU I heard a CRRACK and my heart stopped for 5 seconds.. or insert the RAM with so much pressure that I am scared to break the mobo. Or inserting the mobo on the screwdrives and aligned with I/o shield and hear it scratch a bit on the screw and some pins of the io gets in the way so I have to do it a second time. Or the worst installing the freaking CPU cooler and guessing the right amount of pressure... worst 3 seconds of my life. You get the idea.

[@SkyeEclipse]

Would one of the thicker radiators be obstructing the motherboard? after adding a thick fan too.

[@simeonpetkov768]

So, can I fit around 50mm thick 420 in the front and a 57mm thick 360 in the top at the same time with the fans in the case ? Can you please check it ?

[@tehnyzze239]

Can you fit a 40mm thick Radiator in push/pull in the top?

[@gt1man931]

I want quiet, so I don't need a window(a sound transferring element, like a drum). I'd rather blow the $10 on sound deadening material to put on the side panels. I'm loving what I've read about this case so far.

[@Retrox1989]

I'm going for the Non-Window. I'm not bothered about looking through a window at the components, i know they are in there.

[@TechyRodsWire]

Great video!!! Love this case

[@TimsCabana]

Hi, I'm getting ready to build a new PC, and I bought this case. Can I fit a 360 radiator in the top while keeping the optical drive bay??

[@Treeck57]

Hi there. I have the same case except with a full tempered glass panel. I've been using this case for 5 years. Yes, you could fit a 360 radiator in the top while keeping the optical drive bay. You just need to move optical drive to down to second bay or third bay on your choice. If you are plan to use an AIO. Just make sure hoses are long enough to reach the CPU if not you could just rotate 180 degree to next to the exhaust rear fan. Unless you are plan to do a full custom water cooling loop, it definitely should works. Personally, I plan to switch from air cooled to fully water cooled soon because of my 13900K.

[@cleanycloth]

Where would one install a Cooler Master Seidon 140V? CM say to put it on the back as input, but everyone seems to be installing theirs on the top. Also, is this a good cooler to do a push-pull config?

[@WakinGreg]

Awesome case, great review!

[@Garrett1974]

Would a 280mm radiator fit in the front? And a 420 in the top? Yes it will but I mean without taking anything out? (5.25 bays)

[@emilio15216]

I thik that the 420 doesn'fit with 5,325 bays installed but maybe a 360 yes

[@JoshuaHerrickRupert]

A 420 in the top would work but I've seen mods for 280 mm rads in the front where there have been holes drilled for compression fittings, throwing the optical bast tray. But this would have to use a rad that has the fittings pointing up that way.

[@bacawaka2813]

if you can build a case from scratch out of steel. What features will you have in it? I am taking a metal sculpture class and I want to build a case as a final project. Ill come up with a soldworks design from the feedback.

[@ian-c.01]

Your main problems are going to be weight and stiffness. You will also find sharp corners and edges to be a nuisance and getting a good finish will cause you sleepless nights.

[@bacawaka2813]

yes, I gave up on that now. Not enough time really to plan it out and to do perfect cuts. I am doing a shredder helmet now.

[@ZombieLincoln666]

Hi bill, so can you *completely* disassemble this? e.g. so all the panel could lie flat? That would be awesome if that was the case. I would make traveling with it so much easier (and I need 4 GPUs so a full tower is required). Your video shows the front frame still mounted upright.. is that riveted in?

[@MaxellAdGuy]

everything riveted, and this isnt even a good case for 3 GPUs! I'd look at the Phanteks Enthoo Primo or Corsair 900D tower, thanks for watching, B @ mnpctech.com/

[@kevinfield9391]

great review, Thanks Bill

[@tHoM0r]

my plexiglass window didn't last long before it got scuffed up sadly. got it cheap on sale anyway

[@silveri7712]

Does the mounting bracket for the resivour come attached somewhere?I can not find it.

[@j3ff3r]

Can you use 420mm x 60mm rad on top without problems with those front panel usb? After installing a 420mm rad can you put back the optical drive bay?

[@movitz1579]

You dont need to remove the optical drive bay in the first place for 3x 140mm fans/ radiator you just have to place the optical drive at a lower slot

[@davenoneya6821]

Can I still install and optical drive with a 280 aio mounted on top? Thx This is holding me u on ordeing all my build parts

[@deadinside777]

Got this case a few weeks ago. It's a great big case for the price, but it has a few things that disappointed me. It's big and spacious, but to me it barely qualifies as a "full tower". The exterior panels are nice and sturdy, but the interior not so much. My cheap ass ancient HAF912 is a damn tank in comparison. The motherboard tray was flexing while I was screwing down my NH-D15. The HDD cages are made with the same flimsy sheet metal, but the parts that attach them to each other and to the case are fricking plastic, so are the HDD trays. So far the case has not folded in on itself, but I was expecting a bit more after reading all the reviews. Granted it has been a while since I got my last case, so maybe standards and build quality have gone down, I don't know. Great case with lots of options, but I dare to say they may be sturdier alternatives out there.

[@MaxellAdGuy]

Yes, the lower price is a reflection of the the cheaper material and construction, Thank you for sharing and commenting!

[@vampire847]

I simply just prefer a windowless case because I like that sleek minimalist look to it. woohoo! get to save 10 bucks!

[@treetina]

best video and awesome case ! .

[@trexxit]

Also bill how easy would it be to mount a SSD above the phanteks logo in the secondary window?

[@ian-c.01]

It would be as easy as double sided tape or self adhesive velcro tape.

[@chill0141414]

where do you plug the cpu fan if you plug the fan hub in to the cpu fan connector?

[@buddybarlow9604]

im still trying to figure out where to place the damn SSD/HDD at the bottom

[@joshua2025-j9j]

terrific video take it apart thats the way you learn how it works

[@wege85]

Can you use 140mm fans with 120 mounts to front and top?

[@andrewwright99999]

If i do not use PWM how do the fans that are plugged in there work if i am only using the CPU fan ??

[@PixelChargeChannel]

Great Case using it for my rig
