Phanteks P300 TG Review - Insane Bargain!

[@jordan2104]

You should make a video about the best cases for different price ranges. Even if you don't physically have the case, just use stock pictures.

[@mcslender2965]

Agreed

[@nelsonr.9450]

Agreed

[@Marshallchandra]

And different category auch as airflow or silent for each price range

[@papesor]

A review is pointless if the uploader hasn't physically interacted with the case. Sure he could spout specs at us, or regurgitate other reviewers information, but I don't come to this channel for that.

[@nelsonr.9450]

Corey he also could ask some to others uploaders, as they always do when they dont have the cases

[@HopTzop]

Really great review. Unlike other reviwers you didn't missed problems like PSU size.

[@superbutter5678]

Just finished building, and my power supply will fit. It is extremely annoying, but you need to take the motherboard cable, farthest on the left, and connect it through the rack for the hard drive. For example, take the two racks out by pinching and sliding. Then, you have to squeeze your arm through that area to connect the motherboard cable. It is hard to see and you have to feel around. I used an EVGA power supply.

[@endor_ewoks_fc]

Thank you so much for this upload. You've included a lot of details that other reviewers didn't; I loved the zoomed in shots on the front I/O.

[@kevinvo5667]

The LED strip on the basement is really cool. Nice review keep up the good work.

[@62SG]

The front-loaded hard drive cage is the best part of the case. You can swap in hard drives without unscrewing a sidepanel.

[@leesiyin]

4:16 THANK YOU!!!! I have been voicing out about the front dust filter for so long. This case is far superior compared to the same tier of mid-tower but this case and p400 suffers in airflow as the dustfilter sits WAY too far away hence choking the fans and the fans will draw air within the case. I bought magnetic dust filter and place them right infront of the fans and remove the stock dust filter and instantly improve temps by 5-7 degree calcius in my p400.

[@SaucedTech]

I have the P400 and absolutely love it but feel like I have far too much room for just an AIO. This thing is amazing for the price!

[@mr.wonderful1455]

I think the Thermaltake Core G21 TG takes the cake, even though it's slightly more expensive I believe it's 70 dollars. It has a mesh type front panel tackling both the issue the P400 and S340 had as well as having not one tempered glass panel but two. I forgot to mention it also has a dust filter for every location other than the rear exhaust of course which is something NZXT lacked with even the S340 Elite might not be a big deal, but that just goes to show Thermaltake paid attention to every little detail when making the Thermaltake G21 Core TG.

[@dustin6r]

Hey Greg, great video! I've been subbed since you are around 40k and I'm glad to see where you channel has gone. Keep it up!

[@UkLiCKoNMe]

Nice video as always. Keep it up, following you since the beginnings. I got into the whole tech youtuber scene through your videos, and meanwhile I am not watching another kind of videos anymore.

[@JRX6YT]

Hey Greg, as a content creator, do you delete raw footage after uploading your vids? I make my own gaming vids but I can't think of a reason why to keep them. Thanks!

[@SomeFruitPunch]

J R X you mostly keep it because if you mention something you can find it in your files and add it there instead of finding something that 2 years old on youtube.

[@UkLiCKoNMe]

I think its less about finding it than about reduction in quality when downloading it again from youtube to put it in some new video + time saving against downloading and reencoding it.

[@IFreakedHer]

This very well be my next case, great review Greg and GREAT job Phanteks!

[@PrinceTulipV]

Just ordered it, pretty excited!

[@lucapassalacqua2762]

I actually prefer more tinted tempered glass side panels because LEDS look much cooler.

[@Maybeacatty]

Luca Passalacqua Yeah me 2 but some might prefer the less tinted (coming from a guy who likes glossy screens)

[@FelixMartono]

ditto

[@GregSalazar]

Luca Passalacqua I hate super-tinted glass. Can't see anything but the LEDs, and even they are faint at times.

[@Tico2858]

thats why i like the meshify C so much

[@SVTsupercharged]

I actually took my glass to the local auto tint shop and got my tempered glass mirror tinted 😎

[@bayronvillalobos8205]

Do a comparison between this and the p400s

[@darryls1302]

That larger power supply looks awesome! What power supply is that?

[@SWEJmeister]

This looks pretty solid for the price. I bought myself the In Win 101, another budget case with tempered glass and decent watercooling support. It would be interesting if you took a look at it.

[@crond]

Nice review! Are you going to review Phanteks Shift or Shift X?

[@mohawkchris2766]

I have the P400 with the plexiglass and can't handle how easily it scratches and was wanting something with tempered glass plus I went with a MATX motherboard so it will fit easily into this case. Great value and great review.

[@GregSalazar]

Mohawk Chris Thanks for watching!

[@lucasskotiniotis1360]

Is that a Marshall head and cab I saw in the back there? You seem like the type of guy who would play a Les Paul.

[@dragonfyre79]

That cheap of a price I would be willing to modify the case slightly to allow for better airflow from the front.

[@Anthrospira]

Would this case fit a slightly larger GPU as well as an AIO? E.g Asus Strix 1080 + Kraken x62

[@gozas539]

Kraken can't fit but phanteks will fix this issue as hardwarecannucks review said

[@juriaanw1545]

@@gozas539 Prob way too late but it does support NZXT AIOs; Currently using 1080ti with NZXT G12 + x61 AIO and it works perfectly fine. However, the front panel is a big issue for airflow. Playing RE2 with 2100 on the core, with sidepanel around 54 / 55C, without between 39 / 41 C. Ambient temps is around 22C. Overall, killer case for 60 €

[@temptor7585]

@@juriaanw1545 22c idle temp is insanely cool. Also, 55c under load on your GPU is really good. Did you say you're having an airflow issue? Sure doesn't sound like it to me.

[@juriaanw1545]

@@temptor7585 Well, if I take the frontpanel off it differs about 10 - 12 C

[@madmagician07]

Which motherboard did you use with this build?

[@gisgoss]

Only downside is with the case (mostly my fault) is that the top single fan is extremely close to the mobo. I've ordered a few phanteks halos for it but the top fan does not have enough room between the motherboard and case to add the halo to it. It could fit but you'd either need to drill an extra few holes to mount it away from the mobo or youd have to cut off a big portion of the frame of the halo. Thought I'd say as I bet some people have had a similar issue to me.

[@dogboy0912]

What about the new Apevia cases? They look like they have all the modern bells and whistles and are on sale for about $50. Nobody's done a proper review though so idk.

[@Avareee.]

How's the airflow in this case?

[@ElPabloDelDiablo]

Bought this for my first pc build. Got a white one on sale for 50€! Such a steal!

[@anonymousperson5548]

Why are you wearing a corsair void headset while building?

[@dehmonhu]

Can I just screw two 120mm fans at the front in case I am not using watercooler?

[@gisgoss]

SpaceV3gan yea of course you can.

[@serv27438]

And the airflow from the front is not that bad. I mean, it's bad but not awful. Temps are decent.

[@LANCELOT_101]

@@serv27438 lol one of my ssd's fried because it overheated in this thing. I had to get bigger fans

[@amunderdog]

Did you do the math on the intake? Would be good if you could double check there calculations.

[@sunny35228]

I have a PC and its pretty dusty in there and im scared i'm going to break something if i just go in there and whipe shit down. Have u ever made a video on cleanig your pc? i need to watch it

[@Madchris8828]

Boxs buy cans of compressed air at your local computer shop or use a mini electronic blower and you'll be good as long as you don't blow to close to the components.

[@sunny35228]

Terror962 thanks!

[@Tom-xy7mx]

Use a leaf blower, or more optimally use an air compressor with an air gun. Sounds crazy, but Im not trolling or anything. Works like a charm every time I have to clean out the dust in my office build. If you dont have access to either of those, do what terror962 said and use a can of compressed air. The cans don't come too cheap but its good enough to get your PC dust free for a while.

[@HomerSparkle]

Yeah, I actually bought an industrial air compressor just for cleaning PCs. They're not really that expensive, considering how powerful they are. Just make sure you do it outside on a dry day, otherwise you'll be hoovering dust bunnies for months. Oh, and wear a dust mask. Seriously. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2nQiqR_lJ5spa8

[@gisgoss]

I use compressed air and a microfiber cloth. I've had 0 problems with it so far.

[@SandraM]

I wonder if noctua d-15 will fit inside. Huge cooler.. ordered already the pc with i7 8700K, noctua d-15 cooling and phanes eclipse p300

[@jorgel673]

Great review! What about VS the coolermaster lite 5? I believe it comes with a tempered glass now for an additional 10$. As far as budget cases go?

[@MichaelHernandez138]

When is micro atx going to become more of the norm? Now that sli and crossfire is kinda becoming more stale. Would love to shell out the cash for this or the p400 if it had two less expansion slots

[@Tommy-nb1wo]

I thought this was gonna be a micro ATX case... how do you think a mATX motherboard would look in there? Too small? I'm asking because all the B350 ATX motherboards are like $100 at Micro Center and the mATX ones are cheaper.

[@sbh5898]

Thanks for the review !! GPU and cpu cooler in your build are ?

[@adren9502]

Love your vids bro!

[@Knives7777]

im wondering if case manufacturers these days forget that proper intakes in your case are important regardless of whats inside it...

[@thomasfisher1829]

Please do a video with the inwin 101. It's probably the biggest competitor imo to this case. It also has a very unique design.

[@Manulajes]

Do you have the model name of the first psu you used? The max tytan one, just gonna compare it to my existing one to see if it will fit.

[@danilovegap]

Which brand has the best micro atx case? Fractal, Phantek or NZXT?

[@secrets60]

What case should I buy that's less than $100?

[@JecIsBec]

This one :^) But seriously, either this, the P400s, or the S340 Elite would be my top picks, if they're under $100 in whatever currency you're talking about.

[@kevinmckeehan1343]

I have this case but is there anyway to change the LED color at the base of the case and the LED for the power button?

[@ethanyamar1299]

To someone who's worked on the p400 and p300, is the p300 really easier to work in?

[@HeyRay07]

Would you recommend this case over the Fractal C though?

[@quietfont]

Thank you for the budget case recomendation!

[@casualgaming2022]

i know this is a year old video, but i can't get 2x140mm fans in the front, inside, just outside, and if ii put the vents outside and put the panel back is just... nothig.. the temp are going + 15-20 on thr cpu and + 10-13 on the gpu. They say that i can put 2x140 in the front but i can't see how..

[@arrikhansen4669]

Scandal Gamer By “in the Front”, they mean the front of the inside area of the case. You cannot put fans between the front panel and the chassis. I built mine with 2 140 fans in the front and temps are ok but that is just what happens with Phanteks cases.

[@isaiahjimenez4192]

Wait.. He’s using a 650w PSU for his build, and it includes his 8700k and his 1080ti. Is that enough? Would that be too little wattage to power his pc?

[@lucianodebenedictis6014]

Best 60$ case period? Just as an example the corsair spec 03 isn't as pretty, and overall is an old design, but offers much more functionality and airflow

[@Ben2D]

Should I get this or the fractal design focus g

[@Etienne273]

How did you setup the AIO in this case?

[@abushboy]

Really like Phanteks cases! Thanks for this

[@maskedtrinitygaming898]

Honestly i don't see a big difference between the p300 and the p400, might because im dumb or something but tell me if im wrong

[@sokratisousakof9483]

I am a little worried about the PSU space. Does it fit Corsair RMX650? its kinda seems to me the same size as the one you shown.

[@CarlosDeBernardMrAgapi]

I just share these to our Spanish Panamamenian community Kudos Gregg

[@crodude743]

Can you fit in the fans inside the front panel so you can have a push pull aio setup?

[@aaarmin4164]

Is that a z370 Mainboard?

[@aaarmin4164]

Oh wait it is o.O 1:36

[@xImStX]

What do you think about Fractal Design Focus G ?

[@qianxinsoong]

This or Masterbox lite 5 RGB? which have a better quality built?

[@jovialvibes5962]

Hi Greg - question for ya. With a restricted front plate like this, would you recommend running static pressure optimized fans up front ?

[@TrueKingofOoo]

Just so you guys know eATX motherboards do fit. My ASUS MAXIMUS IV EXTREME (REV 3.0) fit perfectly and I couldn't be happier. I have been looking for a smaller case to fit that damn board for the longest time.

[@johnnyriver25]

Awesome video and beautiful pc case!!

[@GregSalazar]

The Dr!fT3r Thanks for watching!

[@sybrenbijlsma8298]

This or the Cooler Master MasterBox Lite 5 RGB? The RGB version obviously has RGB and a TG side panel.

[@quickflik3980]

Is there enough airflow from the front if you place a 240 rad

[@THEwed123wet]

How do you compare this with the máster box lite 5?

[@quidgaming7938]

Greg how can you compare this phantom 300 case and cooler mater lite 5 rgb case .

[@wizzgamer]

psu cover having no air holes means this is useless for me as i have to have my psu upright due to where I place my tower. Looking like the Fractal Define C Mesh for me then.

[@JellyScrub]

Who is the lady at 2:48? ;)

[@AquaLady153]

Lady?

[@chadguts600]

It doesn't have Reset button right?

[@tstokemb]

What about the p400 non s? It's only $10 more

[@fehllyy]

so you can remove the HHD cage?

[@jvmlover9861]

I still like my fractal focus g. It does not have TG, but it is big and supports a lot of case fans. More importantly, I have 5.25 inch fan controller panel!

[@lancelot2068]

nice video as always!

[@danielholland8210]

The XFX TS Pro 550W is 13.7CM plus being a full-wired PSU will it fit including the HDD cage?

[@Loneadmin]

I like the look of the case EXEPT for the looks on the front. The corsair carbide spec 2 may be an inferior case but i like how the front looks vs hos this one looks asswell as i have a dvd drive and a sentry 3 so idk

[@Martin-4D]

Front panel is ripe for modding extra airflow though.

[@Bronze06]

No ad-skip for mr. Greg - double thumbs-up!

[@GregSalazar]

Bomberspell I appreciate it.

[@Balongski09]

Kinda interested on this case but Im having doubts when it comes to GPU clearance. Will Aorus RTX 2060 Super fit while having a front mounted AIO? :D

[@guilmardionisio5653]

i prefer that rgb strip to extend for the whole tempered glass

[@janred94]

Great video and sexy build, im gonna move parts from a Bitfenix Shinobi and build a red and black scheme like you did here!

[@moazzamfarhan2206]

Does anyone else have an issue were the bottom led strip does not light up? I got the power button to light up but can't get the bottom strip to light up. I found one connector that plugs to psu, is there a separate one for the bottom one?

[@Armfan99]

Hey greg will the deepcool 240ex rgb be able to sync with the rgb button on this case? I have an older motherboard with no rgb header.

[@ChaliceInChains]

I have this case and it's hard to work in this because it's hard to rout cables, the cutouts in the case are small and can be really tough to get the 24pin power connector and 6+2 pcie cables are visible. Airflow isn't bad and you can put 140mm fans on the front and top I think but 120s work too. It will be a tight fit for the really big gpus but it does look nice with the tempered glass

[@StingBoyee]

have u seen the Aigo Atlantis case ? it's amazing... and cheap...and temp.glass

[@Remedio19]

How do you get that front LED strip to work?

[@alexanderelfpmek]

What do you have to plug in so the LEDs are lightning? I have the same case but cant put the USB 3.0 and the 12V extra cable in my motherboard cus it is to old (i am getting a new one soon). So only with the 12V extra cable pluged in you can light the LEDs or? Cus there is a H.D. Power SW 2 pin cable too, and i question myself if I only plugged THIS cable in the wrong dspot or is the 12 V extra cable (it is build in the case i know) needed to light these god damn LEDs on? Pls answer

[@benjamin-nk7zd]

would a 180 psu work with this case (its 2 cm larger then it allows)

[@thomasflier6361]

My mobo isnt rgb compatible, but if i buy some of the phanteks rgb stuff, i can just connect them to the case??

[@darrinthorpe9292]

im happy with this review because my p300 will be at my house tomorrow!!

[@deadfight22]

I am not a fan of this case for one reason. The air flow. My gpu temps were out of control and that's with 4 good fans in multiple configurations. Even with case and gpu fan speeds up my temps where high. I will be cutting out a giant hole in the front and covering it with a screen. Until then I have removed the filters in the front and ramped up fan speeds. My temps are now where I want them. I just clean out the dust once a week.

Very nice case. Still going to get the define S and toss 2 360mm rads in there for overkill cooling for the CPU and GPU hehe.

Can you please talk about how when playing watch dogs 2 it makes no difference wether you have an rx480 or 1080ti because you'll always have a massive CPU bottleneck because of the shit optimization from ubishit?

El case esta muy bueno! Es cierto lo que dices de que hay cases mucho mejor pero a ese precio no! Me encanta cuando en los montajes de muestreo usan AIO como el NZXT o Deepcool Captain son muy bonitos y minimalistas! Se gano su Like 😄
