#phanteks #NV9 #pcbuild - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Just completed a build in this case. Love it! Quality is leagues beyond what I experienced with Lian Li. Make no mistake though. It’s Huge!
Better than lian li for quality. Wow wasn’t expecting that 😮
@@amdforlife5591 yes absolutely no question. I have a 011D XL. SL120s and Strimmer cables. The SL leds all burned up and look faded/off color after 3 years. The case rattles and feels cheap. Lconnect software is awful as well. The strimmer cables are beast though. They are still very bright and clear. Overall I won’t be going LL anytime soon.
Not surprised. Lian Li the oils require a lot of extras to look decent, and even then, loads of quality issues. Quality control far from what one would expect from their price tag.
Lian li are great quality
I quite like Lian li products. Had a few and always good.
great review Leo. Not sure I’d ever need something this big but it looks like another quality design from phanteks
Great review Leo thank you
My pleasure!
The price point is great and plenty of space to build into it. I like a lot of fans you can run them slower and they make less noise than a few running much faster
I actually was interested in the NV7 but needed 140mm support for my radiator and other fans but I really liked the size. The NV9 supports the fans I've got but is huge. In the end I went for the H6 Flow
That is Huge ! Great review !
Thanks !
I could see those Silent Wings 4 from a mile away on the thumbnail. I love them. I filled my case with them. and to go along I bought a Dark rock pro 5 aswell. Not cheap but Im a fan of them
Looks so damn clean. The back chamber door is so nice imo
I just built in the nv7 and compared to my previous 5000D, and ancient Antec 1200... This case series is amazing! Looks so clean! I keep it on a show desk so the USB being on the bottom is actually exactly where I want it! Keeps it a bit less dusty too being higher up I like to tell myself lol.
Great to hear!
Love this case. It’s got great airflow n
That’s fantastic. Would double as a desk for me 😅
I like that case it’s quite understated in a monolithic 2001 space odyssey way.
It does look like a workstation style case for high end components. Would actually be hard to fill.
Phanteks also sells a 5.5" Display with magnets for that space, only downside being the need for a free HDMI (and the price). Other than that any 3rd party option with magnets or even 3M would work. Screens, LEDs, Custom, graphics/decor, maybe for the hardcore DIYers an extra space for Pump/Water block with a bit of drilling as long as you mind the PSU.
Either way really love this case, only thing the O11 Evo XL has on it as the next best case IMO is its ability to move the IO to the more convenient side of the glass, but even then the NV9s is movable so Im pretty sure I could jury rig a custom mount or IDK, let it sit on the desk. Speaking of which, this case may be peak in all thing including price, but If it has one true flaw its that the front IO is still USB 3.2 Gen 2 when mobos have Gen 2x2 by now, but for some reason all case manufacturers are still holding out on us.
Had the case and returned it. Cable management is a nightmare and even with a thick 60MM top radiator the case is way too large. I prefer the NV5. Keep up the great work you guys and stay safe.
Did you buy the nv5 ?
@@Necromancerbob-zp7us No. Still debating which case I am gonna get.
Nv5 is great
NV5 looks like the sweet spot
The bottom fan on the NV5 won’t do much. Plenty of better choices around. The DeepCool Morpheus, for example. Very solid case, includes a riser cable. Not perfect, but for who need the space, a very decent case.
That’s bigger than my house 😂
It's not got any lounge, kitchen, bedrooms or bathroom though, so a big downside.
Leo loves big cases.
I have 3x 420mm and a 280mm rad in my nv9. Easy fit. Vertical gpu option with bottom rad would be nice though
You could fit a double reservoir in here, watercool the GPU and CPU on separate loops
A recevoir plus a hydroelectric dam can fit in that thing
🤣
It's a shame they couldn't quite fit a 4th HDD spot where the last two SSD's go, but otherwise a very nice looking case with incredible specs (the rear fan space really drew me in for an AIO GPU location). I am still strongly considering it for my own upcoming build, but will end up using it for a build at some point in the near future regardless. Also, extremely odd for them to suggest such a negative pressure system with the fan setups, especially since the side should be essentially acting as a front intake in a case with no front intake.
Another thorough review by the KitGuru team.
Phanteks won me over simply by including their screws in a case with separate compartments instead of just pitching them all into one bag.
That’s a great touch. Some companies underestimate the importance of the little touches.
Do you know if it matter temperature-wise, if you install bottom fans horizontally vs angled?
With this case you use AlphaCool MONSTA radiators and the fans at max 500 RPM when they turn on!
To Leo's point, I think this NV9 is geared for people who are planning to run a custom loop with at least 2 rads in the configuration. Maybe even running 2 separate loops completely with each loop having its own reservoir and pump. 1 for the CPU and 1 for the GPU. In that scenario, you would make better use of the interior space.
Last, I thought it was odd that Leo did not use the Phanteks fans that daisy chain with all the RBG capabilities. I think they are called the D30 model? Those fans are thicker and only need 1 cable per row. If I was spending this kind of money, I would go with the big boys that leave me the neatest cable management options, regardless of total cost. You don't buy a NV9 case on a peasant's budget.
If it was cut for back connector motherboards I would be interested.
Plz review the Deepcool CH780 !
Yes I agree !
Is pretty much the Morpheus with front glass and using the dual chamber design.
Yeah was about to say
That’s a heck of a deal for 200 quid
200 more for fans not so cheap
Well you probably could just add fans as money permits. Start off with just a few.
@@browntrousersforsafety-el2bo
I know 😏
For exhaust air should I get 120 fans or 140 fans(back side)? Planning to get six 140 fans for intake(down and rear)
Leo N° 1 💪
I might give this case a try I have the MSI 4090 Suprim liquid X and a 360 radiator for the CPU that has a push/pull configuration and with the Dynamic Evo XL I can only mount the 240 radiator for the GPU towards the side but to have a positive air pressure I need to have one fan set to intake which is just causing it to suck the hot air of the 240 radiator back into the case causing my PC to get hot more often it’s annoying hopefully I can mount it to the back with this case along side the 360 push/pull setup I have to the top otherwise I’ll sell this GPU for a non liquid cooled version
I have the same card and I mounted it's radiator in the back as the exhaust, I also have push pull for the CPU but 420 radiator so I mounted it in the top as the exhaust... And my two sets of D30 140mm reverse fans are just arriving, going to mount them in the bottom and side as intake and I think should be able to achieve good positive pressure with those 6x140mm D30 fans at avrage speed
What on earth would they put the Io at the bottom of the case. Was that something they added later when they realised they missed it ? 😮
you kinda have a crazy look in your eyes, i like it
This is for the same 12 people who were interested in the EVO XL and C750. If only you didn't have to pay a ton to have the GPU vertically mounted.
A good case for the next generation of Nvidia cards , they are going to be huge and very hot
You need more stuff in that final build maybe a bigger motherboard or another GPU or something even if its not actually connected.
Such a huge case and no support for 480mm rad. Yes, 140mm is usually quieter for airflow, but less static pressure than 120mm fans. I would take a 480mm case and 4 T30s any day.
As we say, there is support for a 480mm radiator in the side position.
Leo
Pls which 480mm aio is available to buy?
A lot of case for the money weldone Phanteks.
Alot of money needed to fill it, this case needs large push\pull radiators etc to fill it out and a gym membership to move it 🙂 Will appeal to some no doubt.
That would make a very nice DAW for me…
That's what she said!
is this a PC case or a case for fans?
Reminds me of the HAF 700 but more concerned with looks than function.
LESS concerned with looks and MORE concerned with function, you mean? The HAF 700 and HAF 700 EVO are magnitudes more "showy" compared to the NV9, which has a lot more functionality-focused features.
@pluviamachina3583 No, I meant it the way I stated. Glass intead of mesh on the front, a door to hide the rear IO, worse cable management, blocked off area next to the motherboard with a strip of RGB instead of additional mounting options, etc. The HAF has more flexibility, better airflow, and is easier to work in/on (no tools required for most things). The HAF looking better doesn't hurt it either.
@@94b20gsr I disagree that either case is worse than the other to work in. Sure, the NV9's system is different, but it's not bad, and the same goes for the HAF 700 EVO.
However, it's foolish to suggest the NV9 is better looking. The HAF 700 EVO will immediately turn heads whereas the NV9 looks like any other rectangular prism case.
Would be perfect if instead brackets, used rails. Not really a fan of 140mm fans being greatly blocked by the bracket because of 120mm compatibility. Guess that would be even cheaper to implement.
This is like a small room, not a component compartment 😂
Sweet Phanteks case. But I believe my Thermaltake CTE C750 Air is a much better fit for me.
Better size too
@@browntrousersforsafety-el2bo Both cases are actually within a quarter inch one way or another of being the same size. Thermaltake simply built it better, in my opinion. No screws to take off the panels, motherboard rotated 90 degrees, and better dust filters, and lots of room for long tubing runs in my dule custom loops.
Excellent review!
Nevertheless, this thing is large, impractical, and obnoxious.
Now I am trying to decide, Would this be the ideal case for Clarkson or for Hammond?
Why would they recommend "120 mm" fans for air cooling and not "140 mm"?
Airflow test ???
I feel like any case of this gargantuan size *requires* casters
SFF perspective: Oh Hell No!
hopefully my atx board doesn’t look dumb in this
i wanted the nv7 but really wanted to have a 420mm so i went with this
The moment I sow NV7 I was amazed and disappointed.. No 420 radiator and no 140mm fans where deal breaking, and I said at the time and even posted comments that phanteks needs to make a slightly bigger case and call it maybe NV9 with 420 support, thank god phanteks had it really in mind.
I have NV9 for some time now it's really huge much bigger then my previous EVOLV X but still looks great on my desk and actually makes 48" C2 next it look like average 27" monitor hahaha
Case do have some unexpected flaws however... Those ARGB modules around motherboard are real pain in the a$$ and, and few things could be done better quality wise, coming from EVOLV X it's downgrade in some ways, I had EVOLV X for 5 years and not a scratch on it, TG panels look brand new today and the case itself.. On the other hand my NV9 have front glass panel already chipping on the corner and I didn't even remove the protective plastic yet.. Also side metal panel has very weak plastic bits that can broke easily
Sorry to hear about your nv9 experiences. That’s disappointing.
@@KitGuruTech it does it's job but still I miss quality and almost toolless design of EVOLV X , phanteks did sent me a replacement for one plastic piece that had broken as it was not tight enough from factory on my NV9, as for the front glass I am not sure what to do, kinda looks like it's my fault although I know I have handled that piece with extra care placing it on bed with extra thick pillows but still got damaged somehow..
it is a box
Too big... makes no sense & that empty space on top is just ugly! Great review as always btw...
I've lived in smaller places than that case.
The fans were ramping up by themselves beccause WINDOWS 11 was self-installing on your system.
The thing is, the fans were supposed to be locked at a fixed speed in the BIOS....
Leo
Buying this case is a two-step process. Step 1 is to buy it. Step 2 is to buy a handcart. Consider renting a car engine lift if you plan to place it on a desk.
That’s a monster. Completely unneeded in todays market
By most yes. Always someone will need something this big. I’d say it’s pretty good for threadripper or something with a lot of heat output.
Yeah, it's a case for peeps with a small pee pee. Compensator 3000.
More space for RGB!
If you want easier cable management or big radiators, then big cases are completely necessary.
@@pluviamachina3583 Overclocking is dead, bro.
I don’t really understand this case to be honest. It just looks, odd, it’s absolutely massive and that gap above the motherboard isn’t particularly pleasing aesthetically.
Idk but for me haf 700evo much better despite master+ suck software 😂
Another aquarium case when will this trend die
Not anytime soon by the looks of it.
This size is just unnecessary 😅
Far too big for my taste now
