Those type of push to connect tube fittings have been around for decades now. In commercial or industrial settings, they're the cheap and reliable connection used for transporting every type of gas or fluid that don't require extremely high pressure. You'd probably be surprised at how you can find those style of connectors all around you. I'm surprised it took this long for them to come to PC water cooling.

It is so awesome to see someone finally bring the idea of Sharkbite fittings (push to connect) to PC water cooling. Should have happened years ago. For those wondering, yes these are reliable, and I’d even go as far as to say that they are downright impressive. The only caveat is that you check your installation. The pipe must be fully seated, but it’s not even hard, just pay attention, and double check after you push each pipe in.

2 builds back i owned an evolv gen 1 but the new evolv is absolutely sexy! and a $150 price point? This case is going to become the new king! I love the new front IO for the USB ports making it easy to plug in... was going to comment on the fans all pushing air out and it being negative airflow in the case and then the very next shot it shows phantex fans that the fins are backwards meaning they pull air with the pretty side out... Great for Phanteks this year they really stepped it up and might be a competitor for Corsair now assuming thier quality is top notch. Thank you i just found my next build solution... im instantly in love with that case and after watching the entire video i think all of my case peripherals will be Phanteks too

As someone who builds computers for a living, the RGB space is a complete nightmare. It's gotten marginally better over the years but if these manufacturers want my money they all need to agree to ONE standard, and Microsoft needs to go through with their plan to integrate RGB control into Windows itself. Stop trying to patent all these weird ways of connecting fans and cables and agree on one standard for that too. The reason why PC building is as easy and universal as it is is because everything is based on open standards. These companies need to stop being greedy and trying to patent spam the industry so no one else can use their stupid connector or whatever. That's NOT how you make money in the PC building space, that's how you die and become irrelevant.

Shark bite fittings are awesome if you get the pipe/tubing fully seated. Most DIY failures are caused by not shoving the pipe ALL THE WAY IN. At least the ones I’ve had to fix for people are that way. I’m sure full time plumbers have horror stories of almost any type of fitting in my experience it’s always installer error.
@lukerestlessstudios5 ай бұрын
@@AnomalousURLpush to connect fittings are very reliable. Sharkbite fittings for plumbing are superb and even work for compressed air, I have used them for both applications in my home and basement workshop. Provided that what Phanteks has made here is decent quality, standing up to the minimal pressures of a home PC water loop is nothing. What fails are people who don’t know what they are doing. The only caveat to push fittings is that the pipe is fully pushed in and seated. It’s not even difficult, people just don’t really try or double check.

I remember buying the Evolv X for 200€ just after it was announced. It's a nice case, don't get me wrong, but it struggles a lot with intake. I got 3x 140mm fans in the front and its sorta enough for my 3080ti ftw3 and 5800x3d, but the intakes tend to get loud. I'm kinda worried about the Evolv X² having the same problem, the airflow seems quite restricted

Evolve X2 is Gorgeous, Phanteks is really good at making quality but also very stylish cases and their accessories like the fans have market leaders. Having said that for this case in particular might have to 3D print a custom sag bracket, there is problem with modern GPUs where the floor and ceiling is all fan so you have to get real creative with the sag albeit my current GPU has screw holes so it shouldn't be too hard to give it some custom legs. Maybe all GPUs should come with anti-sag screw holes. As for my 2 cents I prefer the black and gold because I'm a basic bitch and it never gets old. I know its overtly trying to mimic the look of a classy painting frame but I don't care much for the Oreo Cookie look of the black and white. IMO if they want to be unique, go for Gunmetal/machinery look.

And, god I wish that GPU manufacturers would stop putting the power connectors on the front edge of the card. I know its a little thing, but here we have a beautiful ALMOST cable-free build, but you have this chunky cable wrapping around to the front of the GPU? I'd hate to say it, but I wish they would go more the route of the Mac Pro, where they designed in addition to the PCIe interface a power connector thats just on the motherboard. Why PC manufacturers haven't thought of doing that is beyond me.
