Phanteks NV5 Case - Support for EIGHT 120mm fans

[@alanharris2799]

I have to say that I fully support case manufacturers offering their cases without fans at a reduced price. Most builds I’ve ever done I’ve removed the supplied fans and replaced them with a uniform set to fit the build. Consequently, I have a load of fans I’m never going to use and have paid for in the case price. Quite like this case, will consider it for the next build.

[@post-leftluddite]

I prefer no fans too, I always change them ..would really like AIOs offered with no fans too

[@DatzBunz]

You the man Leo, appreciate the very in-depth and easy to understand reviews. Always looks forward to them. Keep up the excellent work! -Tim

[@declanbowler7379]

Just a thought on the CPU temps, you talk about how the CPU runs at about 95 degrees regardless of how much cooling you threw at it, so it's a bit more difficult to demonstrate the impact of increased fans speeds, increased power draw does at least demonstrate that the processor is doing more work at the same temp at least, in future it may be useful to include the clock speed the CPU was running at in situations such as this? Regardless, I enjoyed the video, think that's a case worth considering!

[@KitGuruTech]

You make a good point, however the snag is that the answer is complicated. The easy approach is to use Intel Raptor Lake as you can lock down the CPU power and then you get some movement on temperature. AMD Zen 4 is much more dynamic and the two core complexes behave differently to each other. One chiplet ran consistently at 5.2GHz while the other was running at 4.95GHz with the fans on full and CPU drawing 205W, 4.925GHz with the fans at 1,200rpm and CPU drawing 196W, and 4.90GHz with the fans running at 800rpm and CPU draw of 189W. The power draw at the wall socket correlates with those observations. Leo

[@declanbowler7379]

@@KitGuruTech How interesting! I wouldn't have expected to see such a difference between the chips, thank you for the additional information though, much appreciated, the process of reviewing hardware seems to find new ways to make life difficult for reviewers 😅

[@chrisplayz7736]

Been a while since we last saw Leo angrily taking something apart.

[@MikesTek]

Thank you for posting this. This is the first review I have been able to find that shows the Phanteks Glacier One 360D30 AIO in action. I would have preferred to see it in gaming and and productivity not just a stress test, but this is still useful and very valuable.

[@pointandshootvideo]

I'm thinking that putting mechanical 3.5 HDDs on that flimsy door is a really bad idea because excessive vibration. What do you think?

[@Vegas3RSPilot]

I may go with this case as I might not be able to wait for the O11 Evo RGB

[@killerer7003]

Love that open frame design.

[@akra_jeyson2345]

You can take the entire thing apart without any tools it’s very well thought out.

[@hairsprungdutchtechnique9626]

Those fans are much more impressive than the case. Love them. I know how much you like rgb too 😮

[@johnz81]

Great review! I would love to build a hard line watercooled system in this, nice compact form factor, but i wonder if there is room for 2x 360 rads (top & side) with access for required tubing for them? Looks very tight.

[@amdforlife5591]

Hardline would be awesome in this. I agree ❤

[@OGHawkeye]

great detailed review. i must say that i thought that this case had a more clear glass that wasnt so tinted, as ive thought ive seen in other reviews and images, i dont know if im missing something about that? but that was one of the main appeals in difference with this case for me. without that its kinda just another case.

[@tryagainff1538]

Got a lot of cooling options for quite a small case.

[@fairycat]

Nice option for Wate cooling. Looks preaty.

[@MrLynx777]

Do we know when the optional screen for the NV5 will be released?

[@lucifersheadscarf6988]

Cracking price. Even with the issues

[@lecondevie8031]

Good to see provision for 3.5” hard drives still.

[@iamahappybunny7640]

Pretty good value considering the drops.

[@ddrmegamixer]

It's a nice case and i like that it doesn't have fans, for me thou with 8 sata drives and 5 ssd's + dvd burner I'm yet to see where I'll ever upgrade from the 750D airflow.really would like to see some older formfactor cases come to the market, have said as much to corsair and others.

[@narutogett]

Did he just flip us off at 0:40? XD

[@Puggal_77]

How long till manufacturers start layering out holes in the glass side panel?

[@boltsandbraces6261]

It’s a good looking chassis when you put a bit of time into the build.

[@pepedeltoro6647]

Hello! I bought the new version ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III 360mm for my CPU and Phanteks NV5 case. People say the new "3" version of ARCTIC Liquid Freezer AIO 360mm doesn't fit the Phanteks nv5 case anymore? However the previously ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 360mm "2" version does fit the Phanteks case nv5, is this correct?

[@elchancho8432]

Can I have the two single fans as reverse fans? Would that be good airflow?

[@inlovewithmycar7085]

I’ve ordered one for my son to build his first pc into. 🎉

[@AeroCluster]

With that slanted PSU bay, I'm really curious if the Corsair RM1200x Shift PSU would fit properly.

[@wevsky]

have you got the rgb connected to the included hub ? you dont show the rgb hub ?

[@nicholasalvin4276]

Graphics card support included is a nice feature.

[@wundyboy]

If you'd do a build not using the most demanding hardware it would be rather neat... Phantek makes great cases, build quality is excellent. I have the P400, a budget case that impressed me a lot!

[@KitGuruTech]

We adjust the hardware to suit the case. The NV5 supports a large graphics card so it makes little sense to test with a tiddler. As for the CPU, if it supports Ryzen 9 successfully you can be confident a Ryzen 5 or 7 will be happy. Leo

[@bobsmithson8592]

Open frame design is class

[@ElonStevens-gf1zv]

performance seems ok. I like the look of it.

[@Simbob_]

@KitGuruTech, how much is the space between de panel and the psu shroud? I need 1 cm for a secondary screen. Hopen thats enough. Thank you!

[@denisbeban9603]

That cooler is going to have to work really hard on that Ryzen.

[@soldatxd7217]

Isn’t installing magnetic drives sideways a bit of a no-no?

[@yiannos3009]

Considering this as an open air test bench (yes, I'd remove the glass). Also, @KitGuruTech Enthoo Pro 2 Server edition review when?

[@vensroofcat6415]

Inclined PSU and front fan while reasonable solution at first glance, in fact doesn't save any mm for the height so rather useless. Reduced length PSU shroud on the other hand is long overdue. It should help cooling power hungry flow through GPUs significantly. Cases have had holes there and Fractal pop did some moves closer to this too. Most PCs don't have HDD these days, it's all superfast nvme. And those who really need huge HDD will probably go for NAS drives anyway.

[@mauritos100]

Thinking what case to buy for 13600k/14600k,which i will cool with 280/320 AIO,phantekx nv7 costs double than this,nzxt h9 flow costs double than this,are phanteks nv7,nzht h9 flow worth over phanteks nv5??

[@armanpathan6735]

Leo just sounds right off the bat he’s going to be a difficult customer.

[@highfluntinglegionmaker-lm9bj]

What’s the direct competitor for this on market today. Curious

[@carlosclara4759]

My next transfer case from p400a. $99.00 dollars in the USA.

[@ElonStevens-gf1zv]

Good pricing

[@winnerc2012]

Phanteks should start taking medications. Selling the horizontal GPU bracket for almost the same price of the case is nuts. Shame...

[@zombiegeorge749]

I have the old Enthoo Primo, It is Huge. But why the strange angle at the bottom?

[@KitGuruTech]

It helps get air to the power supply and the GPU fan at the front without raising the whole case a few centimetres

[@Gaming_style571]

Price is really good cant argue with that.

[@ninjaturtlesoup2769]

when is it available on Newegg and Amazon?

[@buyingastairwaytoheaven5252]

Why did they drop the price before launch ?

[@mikep9418]

Seems strange that such a large case doesn't support 140 fans. Good value though, as most people don't use the fans supplied with the case, especially if they are bog standard 3 pin as is often the case (if you'll pardon the pun).

[@justindavis7600]

I know 140mm fans seem pretty good option in a big case like this.

[@amdforlife5591]

Weird omission.

[@justinjay5358]

Hi did you use all the 5 case fans as reversed?

[@loganyoyodinner3973]

Could you please do a review of the new qube 500 from coolermaster?

[@KitGuruTech]

Working on it 👍

[@taomahNEGEV]

Do you have 10/10 score cases?

[@rifalfauzi6724]

Does Leo give lessons on how to really enounciate words correctly and properly in a Home Counties accent?

[@KitGuruTech]

Yes indeed, in each and every video Leo

[@larwiemcdonnel5322]

Love me a bit of RGB

[@powermaster5004]

I prefer the new Phanteks chassis designs to be perfectly honest. Always uses to prefer Lian li

[@hiraaytas2883]

Just a light touch on each box when Leo’s describing each part.

[@overclockingdemon7179]

That’s a good initial drop in price. Wonder if that was planned to get the comments 😂

[@vincentvega3093]

Looks good.

[@TP-bn1cd]

Next time can you do an Intel / Nvidia build.

[@twlsrovrdaar]

Not gonna lie, the phanteks fans look nice but their idea of using white blades for light disbursement is very noticeable in an all black build and would be reason enough for me to go with Lian Li fans instead.

[@meghasingh4267]

good review

[@tiktokeditanime]

Those 120mm fans could be a bit noisy.

[@SAjADA7HMED]

All cables inside a modern build should be braided.

[@zorbakaput8537]

Open frame got me - No 140mm lost me.

[@w2fuck]

Ну вот железные стенки на стекло положить🫣 это надо быть гением 😰

[@canarychrome7012]

Leo are you ok ?

[@KitGuruTech]

Say what? Leo

[@akiheikkinen2855]

110€ in eu

[@MrAckers75]

Nice case for an aio or custom loop but these cases are absolutely garbage for air cooling

[@stevewatson6839]

Black case, dark, dark tint=Yuk.

[@Vegas3RSPilot]

The dark tint turned me off on the in win dubili gold case that I wanted to build with our local sports team as a theme, but that glass was too dark.

[@01Gamemaster10]

Why testing when all fans are outtake and non intake :P

[@historianfabulousio5128]

They are ? Think he used some of the reverse models

[@mikep9418]

If you count the aio fans, 4 were intake and 4 extract....

[@twlsrovrdaar]
