This is quite possibly the most complete PC case in the history of PC cases. The front USB header cable problem is an issue but easily fixed with a 90 degree adapter. Great job Phanteks but this is too big so I'll wait for the NV5. And great review as always and the build is amazeballs.
Absolutely gorgeous ! Can you explain how you connected your drain ? We can see a lot of things on your great presentation but the part behind the bottom rad is missing !
I just received 2 of these in black, one to build and sell and the 2nd to be my new personal PC, since I just sold my Seasonic custom loop from GGF's build from a few years ago, (with a few mods). Always enjoy your videos and ideas as a base line for creative ideas.
11/10 video. Just ordered my new pc with this case and I have to build it from 0 and it's my first time doing it, and on this video you explain everything just perfectly.
Happy to hear PPCS came through for you. That's where I purchase a huge chunk of my water gear from. I have to say Phanteks has made me fall in love with this type of design all over again. Very impressive case.
Those RGB connectors are the same as the Lian Li ones. Phanteks does offer adapters to the normal 3 pin style or you can solder them yourself (there is nothing special about the signal). I prefer the connectors that Phanteks/Lian Li are using and would like to see it become the standard one day.
This is the best case review I have ever seen. Very nice how you matched the water with the edge color of the glass. You are the best builder out there in my opinion.
I have watched your video at least 6 times and I have to say I'm very impressed by this case....hell you make any case look good haha. I own 4 different Phantek cases and I want to add this one to my collection.
Superb review for this great case. 👍🏻🔥 Really enjoyed watching this with all the details you are taking into account. And what an epic build at the end. Stunning. Thank you very much! Just ordered it.
This video makes me want to buy this case. I’m totally sold simply because I saw someone installed an e-ATX mobo with right angled pin in this case. To be fair, this case is large and (I can say) it is targeted toward e-ATX owners; so any hiccups found when installing e-ATX on this case is kinda like a dealbreaker. I hope someday they make a bigger clearance to that side cover so I don’t have to worry about my USB 20 pin problem; or at least make the cable header a bit slimmer? 😊 Anyway, fantastic job on the review. Subscribed to your channel!
Late to the party, but mate, thank you for this video. I am compiling a list of parts for my next build and was umming and ahhing about NV7 vs NV9 and no where could I find anything about what thickness of radiator would fit. Not on the Phanteks site or other review or build vids. You very clearly showed what was possible with zero ambiguity. My neurodivergent prone to overthinking brain thanks you. The one thing that you didn't cover in this otherwise highly detailed video (or I missed it) was what the clearance would be if I was to use Phanteks vertical GPU mount. I am looking at using the Watercool Heatkiller block on the GPU and its just looks too damn nice to install in the default position. From googling pics I don't think a rad will fit and so I think just run 3x140mm Reverse D30s at the bottom and 2 x 120mm at the rear for air intake and 360 rads at top and side as exhaust. Now though, seeing that distro plate, damn looks so good though... ooof.
Wow! Amazing video. Thanks for doing all the radiator configs! Really helped out, as I have been wondering about which configs would work with the different thicknesses. Curious about how big you could go with each if I were to use 3x360 and how a 240 at the back would clear. Doesn't look like it will.
Fun fact about Phanteks' RGB connector: it is a standard plug. It's a 3-pin JST connector that can easily be converted to the 3-pin D-RGB female connector.
Case looks very user friendly, I get that extra space up top is where the power supply fits, its just looks kind of odd and visually something Im not used to.
Your case reviews are by far the best for custom watercooling builds Stu. Eagerly awaiting your O11D XL Evo build/review so I can decide between these two for my next project. Keep up the good work and love the build!
I just pre-ordered mine. Can't wait. I love my Corsair 5000D airflow, but the room up top for a 360mm AIO is to tight. This will for sure let me do this. I just love the layout of the case and all the room I will have. Its only 1/2" wider and longer than my current, and then 3" taller roughly.
Love this case, not a fan of the 277mm mobo restrictions. I would like to have seen an adjustable RGB cover to extend that out to max EATX sizes. (300mm). Beautiful case though, really glad Phanteks stepped up to the plate on this case!
Looks awesome! Slightly concerned over reports that the QC on their new fans is bad. One user has posted images of their D30's showing the gaps to be misaligned for where the connection clips go, meaning that the fans cannot get any power, both for lightning and speed. Out of 12 fans bought, 5 are DOA. That's not acceptable!
You don't have to buy their fans, the d30's never seemed that appealing to me after looking at their specs. If you're still looking, I can recommend silverstone's shark force fans which are better all around in performance and noise to performance although there's no reverse version or interconnect, although they have detachable cables and can be daisy chained and they're still argb. There's also 140mm variants too. Oh yeah, it also has standard connects and no bloatware either
There's so much to like about this case lineup. I was originally planning on an NV9 build, but looking at posts online the compatability with E-ATX boards is just not there, which is deeply unfortunate. There's also just short of room for 4x 3.5" drives, another slight miss for me.
Our NV9 review and build will be up in a week or 2. Absolutely no issues with eatx boards in the NV9. And the NV9 can take 3x 3.5 inch drives up from 1 on the NV7
@GGFEvents Were you able to test ones with 90-degree connectors? That seems to be the main issue point, fitting the cables into the 90-degree ports and putting the LED bar back on, even rotated to accommodate for larger boards. I'll definitely keep my eye out for the video. Next to nobody has done reviews on the case yet.
@@sjewkes1 yes no issues with a rog z790 extreme. Even our NV7 build used the ROG z790 extreme. The RGB cable cover gets flipped and reinstalled to fit eatx.
@GGFEvents Excellent, thanks for the replies. I'm definitely looking forward to the video. I was set on resorting to an Enthoo Elite just for the E-ATX compatibility and drive bays, which is significantly bigger than what I need😅 I really love the design on the NV series, it's the standard "fish tank" cube with enough unique twists to make it a Phanteks.
Amazing build! In terms of the drain port you said you needed to use a skinny 90 what do you mean?? Is that just a 45 rotary before the rest of the fittings. Im currently working on my drain port same location and could use some guidance.
I'm surprised he didn't give any info on space between the bottom mount and the vertical GPU bracket for those that want to use it. I also can't find anything in the lit available from Phanteks.
Awesome build. Just curious how you mounted the Phanteks fans to the Alphacool radiator and still got the screw covers to clip in on the fans. The rads are tapped for M3 and the included M3 button head bolts don't let the Phanteks covers clip in properly. Did you re-tap the rads to M4 and use the included Phanteks bolts with the flat heads?
What is the working culture of the D30 fans? How about the noise level, working with a heatsink? Is the RGB color in the fans is white or slightly blue?
The build looks good but the fans leave me with a serious question. If you have 3 fans intaking air from the bottom and 3(well 6) fans plus the two on the back exhausting air wouldn't that leave you with a negative pressure system?
Excellent work and great video. What size Bitspower extenders are you using at the top of the radiator? I'm assuming you're using the BitspowerT-Block at the bottom of the case to get the loop split for the drain and that connector at the rear is the Silver Shining Five Rotary Snake-Style Dual IG1/4" Extender?
I would like this to upgrade my Evolv X.. But since it's a downgrade I won't, this case should be slightly longer so it could accommodate 420 rad on the side.. I don't want to give that up, I have it in push pull on my evolv x but it can't be transfered to this case. Opportunity missed but I hope they make nv9 or something that is slightly longer and wider to allow 140mm fans on the top and side
Originally wanted to do a build in a Lancool 3, with 3x360 30mm radiators and Phantek T30 fans, but sadly this wont fit with a 240mm Distro. This looks like a far better option, while not taking up much more space. I am thinking of 2x360 (top and bottom) + 240 rear radiator setup, with a 360 distro like you. Did you use the rubber grommets to attach the Alphacool distro, or did you mod it? Also: one of the best builds I have seen (and I am NOT saying this lightly).
Will a 360 RAD on top fit at the same time a 240 RAD is on the back? Seems like that might be a conflict (and the setup I wish to use) I suppose if I had too the fans can go outside as shown but that is not ideal and would increase noise and lower aesthetics.
That's one mighty nice build, if I may say so. I'm definitely getting this case for my next build, not going to put any non-AIO watercooling in there though, as I lack the skill, but seeing this kinda makes me want to learn how to make such a piece of art. I'm considering the Asus ROG Crosshair x670e Extreme mainboard, which has the same dimensions as the one you used, with the right-hand side connectors in the same places as well. Did you manage to get everything connected in the end? Apart from a 90-degree adapter for the USB 3.0 header, I guess you'd also need one for the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 header right next to it, and sleeved cables for the ATX power to get it around the bend? If it's too much of a hassle, I'll probably go for the Hero instead, but I'd really love to have the Extreme in there.
Really nice work, looks fantastic! Do you know something about vertical GPU mounting?(edit: there is a vertical mount bracket, but what about the clearance to the bottom? ) And which coolant did you use? I love it 👌👌
Great job on the build as usual. I do have a question about the NV7 - you said that an FLT 240 on the rear can only be used with a DDC pump because a D5 will not clear the rear door. How far out does the D5 extend? I'm wondering if it might be feasible to just use some spacers to move the res portion inward a bit to make the D5 fit.
I am in love with this case! Unfortunately, it has 2 problems for me. I have 2 420mm radiators and it would be so nice if there were 2 holes in the back and not just one for the outlet. I also have a Mora radiator and it would be fantastic if there were 2 next to each other. Would it be possible to pass it on to Phanteks as feedback?
i cannot for the life of me figure out the drain port from the radiator to the back of the case lol. i'm not sure what you're using for the pass through fitting :( i've got everything else. the only thing that even looks remotely close to being able to pass through properly is the fill port but yours is a thicker piece
What would the bottom radiator setup look like if you went with a vertical gpu? What might be the max width of the rad? Could you push/pull still? Thanks!
Put the drain valve, on the inside of the case and just put a threadable or ribbed fitting on the drain hole of the case for a threaded fitting or softline tubing to drain out the rear of the case.
Case looks awesome and I think I've got my choice for my next build. Just curious how you ran the loop. From what I can tell: distro plate -> bottom rad -> GPU block -> distro plate -> CPU block -> distro plate -> top rad? How did you incorporate the drain valve?
I removed those SSD doors on mine because I run nothing but NVME M2s and just to save some weight the case is a heavy girl with are custom water cooling loop.
I see you are using an inline filter. As someone who hasn't yet gotten to start building a liquid loop myself (too small budget) but been worried if I ever were to try and clean rads i'd still have leftovers in it. Would you recommend getting a filter for one's loop?
all looks good but the only stuff that's annoying is the RGB controller only supports they're fans. and I cant find the adaptors for them. maybe someone knows more than me and tell me if there is adaptors for it?
WOW! As usual you're an inspiration. I have this exact same motherboard and was looking for a smaller case than my current Corsair 1000D. Looks like I found it! You're the best!
Hi. what is the reference of the distro used? sorry if you said that during the video. I am French and it is complicated to understand everything for me.
The width of this Phanteks NV7 is even smaller than the Lian Li O11D XL - are there issues with a horizontal mount for the RTX4090? I am worried about the clearance to the side panel and bent connectors (especially without aftermarket cables). I was actually very surprised at the width when the NV7 is marketed to be a huge case for latest gen GPUs. This case looks really nice, but I may just wait to see the dimensions for the Lian Li EVO XL.
The O11D XL has 167 mm clearance for the GPU, the NV7 has 185mm. The NV7 has more clearance because the PSU is located on top of the motherboard and not behind like the O11D XL
Awesome work as always and appreciate the feedback!
Any time!
Wow this is an amazing case! I’m just constantly getting surprised by the details and design choices you mentioned.
Was lucky enough to get one of these cases this morning. Planning a triple-360 radiator build and your video was unbelievably helpful, thank you!
Enjoy! We'll start our black build soon

And what is the combination of fittings for that drain port combination. Its genious!

Build looks really great. Do you think 3 x 360 rads with 45mm depth and the Alphacool Core Distroplate 240 in the back could work in this case?

Amazing case, it was a PITA to build though.
Put the drain valve, on the inside of the case and just put a threadable or ribbed fitting on the drain hole of the case for a threaded fitting or softline tubing to drain out the rear of the case.
Won't really fit inside
Case looks awesome and I think I've got my choice for my next build. Just curious how you ran the loop. From what I can tell: distro plate -> bottom rad -> GPU block -> distro plate -> CPU block -> distro plate -> top rad? How did you incorporate the drain valve?
From what I can tell the drain is fed from the bottom channel on the left side of the distro plate and routed around the back of the bottom rad.
@@cadkins19967 Take a look at 26:42, rad is multi-port so it looks like one of those ports is being used for the drain valve.
I removed those SSD doors on mine because I run nothing but NVME M2s and just to save some weight the case is a heavy girl with are custom water cooling loop.
I see you are using an inline filter. As someone who hasn't yet gotten to start building a liquid loop myself (too small budget) but been worried if I ever were to try and clean rads i'd still have leftovers in it. Would you recommend getting a filter for one's loop?
I have that distro plate , what pump is on yours ? alphacool has not answered me on which pump they recommend for this plate.
all looks good but the only stuff that's annoying is the RGB controller only supports they're fans. and I cant find the adaptors for them. maybe someone knows more than me and tell me if there is adaptors for it?
WOW! As usual you're an inspiration. I have this exact same motherboard and was looking for a smaller case than my current Corsair 1000D. Looks like I found it! You're the best!
Thank you.
very good design
NV as in envious of the o11 Dynamic
Hi. what is the reference of the distro used? sorry if you said that during the video. I am French and it is complicated to understand everything for me.
The width of this Phanteks NV7 is even smaller than the Lian Li O11D XL - are there issues with a horizontal mount for the RTX4090? I am worried about the clearance to the side panel and bent connectors (especially without aftermarket cables). I was actually very surprised at the width when the NV7 is marketed to be a huge case for latest gen GPUs.
This case looks really nice, but I may just wait to see the dimensions for the Lian Li EVO XL.
The O11D XL has 167 mm clearance for the GPU, the NV7 has 185mm. The NV7 has more clearance because the PSU is located on top of the motherboard and not behind like the O11D XL
