Cases that are both cheaper and run VASTLY better (colder) with less gimmick features; O-11 Dynamic O-11 AIr Thermaltake View 71 Thermaltake View 32 Corsair Crystal 570 (PSU shroud, but achieved good thermals) Cougar Panzer G Fractal Meshify C Silverstone RL6 Actually... it would literally be shorter to list the cases that perform worse than this case... An added benefit is these cases come with proper SSD mounts that won't' snap off your SATA pin connectors if you close the case too fast on accident. This case is a joke of gimmicks and cheap ideas with poor engineering. Look at the top vent design, without any passive air in the sides or the bottom of the case the GPU is re-circulating hot air and probably forcing it to go upwards into the CPU hence 90 fucking degrees on the GPU! NINETY DEGREES!? Are you saying they Nailed it? Nailed what, killing your framerate in games and making your card wear out faster? The front fans are likely re-circulating the air from the GPU and the GPU's hot thermals try to escape the case but can't because of t a ridiculous PSU Shroud and lack of passive air escape thus why not only the GPU is damn near 30 degrees hotter than cases that are $100 USD cheaper and with MORE features... but the CPU is extremely hot as well! I am on a Thermaltake Chasker MK-1, a 6 year old case, with thermals on an R9 290x which is FAR hotter than his card... CPU 41c GPU 58c This is what I get on load. Gaming you ask? No no, my friend, on rendering. I am a game developer and do a ton of heavy rendering and with 6 SSD/HDD drives, proper rubber grommets, and good airflow I am getting less than he was getting on a gaming load... And I paid $120 LESS when this was new!

Built a 12900K & 3080 RTX system in this case. Modified the top and front panels with geometric grids of 20mm holes to further enhance airflow. Also fabricated a small metal ramp to fit in the front radiator mount 'well' to redirect the bottom 140mm fan's airflow upwards to GPU and RAM area and to hide mass of psu cables. Full m.2 system so no SATA drives at all. Love it and it still looks awesome in 2022!

It sucks you can't buy optional mesh front panel (especially without angular design) and have to switch to Meshify C, which doesn't improve temps that much either though.

Airflow isn't going to be solved till they take that panel off the front and throw it in the trash.

"The perfect case!" Except for efficiently and quickly delivering cool air to components, which is a case's primary job. Those temperatures are absurdly high, especially considering that this is basically just an official adoption of fan mods for the Evolv ATX. I see no reason for existing owners to upgrade, they can buy parts from ModMyMods to get the same effect. The "new" features are not actually new; putting a sliding door over an existing hole isn't impressive to me. This review seems very concerned with aesthetics over performance.

It's not just the front panel, you would need to cut a hole into the PSU shroud and then ventilate the PSU shroud because its so friggen massive. The PSU shroud, and lack of passive ventilation except for the top literally are going to hot box this case, added with the fact those fans are probably pulling hot from inside the case and recirculating it.

I mean, it's not really missing airflow. I looked at a Tom's Hardware review of the 1080 and 1080Ti, and they ran at about 85C regardless of being in a case or on a test bench apparently, so...I don't know about you but a case with only it's stock fans at 87-90C? Doesn't seem that bad to me. In your original comment you said "90C on a GPU in stock configuration" - who in their right mind runs any case or system in a stock, out-of-the-box configuration these days? Even if you're not watercooling, you're going to be installing a CPU cooler and your own fans that you like. These aren't realistic temperatures because it's not the norm to leave a case as is when you build a system in it. It's fine to have reservations about what you think might be a flaw in the design, and I respect that, I can see where you're coming from. But at least wait for a more realistic example.

Ergonomic chair: GN gives us the delta 'T' over ambient, which is actually more useful rather that the actual recorded system temp. If you watch GN you should know this. Though those temps do look bad, unless it was tested in a 45C room. Hope GN reviews this case so we can get the real scoop on temperatures an how this case actually compares to others.

seems like adding some covering around the front fans would be good. I hope some reviewers try placing that included magnetic plate under the front fans to act as a seal. with such a big gap of 30mm and more at the top and bottom the front intake should be better.

To me, not the perfect case. You buy a case like this to showcase it so you put it on your desk for all to see, not underneath. I want to plug in my headphones in the front but most cases have the ports at the top which causes the wires to dangle downward causing a bend to form near the plug. I have not seen many cases with jacks on the bottom and most of the cases that do don't appeal to me. It would be great if Phanteks gave you the option to move the 'port module' to the bottom and flip the front panel around.

Recently bought a P600s, which is a slightly cheaper, newer variant of the same chassis, and I have to say I am now a Phanteks fanboy. At least when it comes to cases (and fans). It was seriously a joy to build in. They make everything easy, with cable management basically done for you, and everything about it is quality. Temps are good too.
@nexarath6 жыл бұрын
Hahaha perfect case. Yes, perfect, sure. Perfect for frying your GPU and CPU. Seriously, these joke cases are great for people who play indie 2 pixel games that heat up your gpu to like 50c and who are more worried about 'badass' led's than actual cooling and acoustic performance, which, imho, are the ONLY two real considerations in a case, unless you REALLY need portability too. Dude, I could put 5 TI's in my Superflower or old HAF and get better thermal performance than a 970 would have in this pos overhyped case, but eh, different strokes for different folks huh.
@Vederdoodle5 жыл бұрын
To those worried about GPU temps: I just built a dual 2080 Ti FE system in this case and the temps are fine - easily 5-10 degrees cooler than the original Evolv, which is what I was upgrading from. Now for an important caveat: As soon as I received the case I swapped out the three included 140mm Phanteks fans for four 140mm Noctua fans - three intakes in the front, one exhaust in the back. I don't know what cooling would have been like with the original fans because I never ran the system with them. Up top I'm running a Corsair H150i Pro with its three included 120mm fans. Even with all those fans running, this system is noticeably quieter than my old build in the original Evolv case, which was sporting stock fans + older Corsair AIO. With the custom GPU fan curve I set in Afterburner, my top 2080 Ti FE doesn't go above 76c in Heaven Extreme. And my bottom card is always 4 or 5c cooler than that.

i kind of agree with you. i just switched from the original phanteks p400 to the fractal design meshify c, and while i'm happy with the new case in general--love the look of it as well as the airflow potential--there are so many things about the much older phanteks case that were just...objectively better. the finish on the outside of the meshify c feels a little on the cheap side and includes some plastic where the p400 is all metal. the front panel/dust filter attachment system is honestly a pain in the neck. it just feels like the people at phanteks think of everything, and know how to balance features with a seamless experience in every price bracket, while other manufacturers make compromises.

The new Evolv X from Phanteks promotes user experience and usability for a cheap price. A company like Corsair or NZXT would price this at $400+. The Evolv X annihilates competitors at the same price range. I believe this is the PC case that will push a hard evolution of cases, with companies who do not improvise their designs greatly will simply be ignored. I am very excited to buy this case for my build. At first, I planned on buying the NZXT H700i, but after seeing this, I realized that the H700i is a piece of overpriced trash. In my opinion, Phanteks is an amazing company and deserves way more attention which will hopefully be achieved. When I first saw the Evolv X, I was speechless. The only think Phanteks could improve on is including a system with the case 😂. BTW, Dmitri is a Russian name, are you Russian?

I know this is a couple years old, but I'm thinking about upgrading from the Phanteks P400STG to the Evolv X, but with my P400STG, I had the front panel waterjet CNC'd with a gradient looking pattern, so it has much better airflow now, and my 3900X at 4.3GHz all core / 1.3 vcore runs at 37c idle / 60-65c load on a cheap, unassuming $75 Cooler Master MasterLiquid LC240E, and the GPU (EVGA 2080 Super) maxes out at around 65c with some heavy gaming, with my case and CPU radiator fans set to "Extreme Quiet" (around 300-600RPM). I am running two Cryorig QF140 fans in the front, and one Cryorig QF120 exhaust, and they are seriously kickass case fans that move a crap ton of air. You can feel the air coming out of the 120mm from 3ft away with it at 400RPM, and they all max out at 1800-2000RPM. Insane for such inexpensive case fans. I've had them for 3 years now and they're still running perfectly. My main concern is that the airflow in the Evolv X is going to suck compared to my modified Phanteks P400STG. I suppose I'll just end up having to modify the Evolv X front panel too. I'll have to come up with some kind of awesome pattern for that.
