Your cinematography and audio game are in a different level than other techtubers, Dmitry. Awesome video.
Thanks :D
Yes, its a bit over-kill, hope it ain't too time consuming, if you ever just want to make a easier video some-time...Facecam and talking is fine too :P
When I stumbled on this channel because I was looking for a review on a case, I was also shocked to see how well your videos are edited. Nice work!
I've probably watched this review 5 times now.
TechShot I've watched the p300 review a couple dozen times, I'm just waiting for that case to come out already...
Me about twenty, not exaggerating..
Me too, I love this case
Me too. My order has been delayed for a week now, so I'm trying to memorize the routing possibilities.
same man. I bought the non silent version tonight and have watched this about seven times since the order went through
Thank god I watched this. Had this case for almost a year now and had no idea there was a button to change the color of the lights.
Lmfao
Zerocopy you had the case for a whole year and didn’t know how to change the colors!? That’s hilarious
LuL
You convinced me. This is quickly becoming my favourite tech channel on TH-cam.
Thanks for all the quality content you put out.
Happy to hear :)
-D.
No
Once again, an awesome review from you guys! I absolutely love your case reviews, their the best on youtube.
I'm definitely adding this case to my list of recommended cases, a cheap glass side-panel case is something that isn't easy to find.
FIRST???!?!?! Hope you enjoy the video people! Make sure to BELL 🔔🔔🔔 your subscription to be notified of new uploads 😄 TH-cam is cray lately, and not delivering on those promised mobile notifications.
Hi Dimitry. Not sure if you'd do this, but a step-by-step video on building a PC would be great. If you did the tutorial in the P400S TG, that would be Phantastic.
HardwareCanucks ordered this exact case today for my first build thanks for helping me chose chasi
Hi Dimitri, is it possible to sync the leds of the case with asus aura etc.?
Fred is looking fresh!
I'm glad the name is catching up... for those who don't know, Fred is the plant 🌱
How big is fred in inches?
Ro MaYo Jr this Tempered Glass Case has 2 version and 2 price at the same time but i cant find the difference please help me.
One thing that is always missing from these case reviews is temperature. Especially when running air cooled cards. Those cards can heat up a case pretty quickly
+beretta9m2f not possible for me to setup a controlled temperature environment and thus I don't do temp tests
Are you going to do a Define C, S340 Elite, and P400 TG comparison? I would really like to see all three in one shot, just to compare the relative size of each. No review seems to do that. Is that something the manufacturers forbid or something?
Exact video in the works :D Manufactures forbid nothing.
I love the look of the Define C, but wouldn't even consider it with the other two in the mix!
If the Define C had a tempered glass upgrade, I would instantly buy one!
ahh i have the Define S acrylic and phanteks Ethoo Pro M acrylic, hoping in the future to have tempered panels, plastic is too cheap unfortunately but he pices are defo worth it
please compare thermals if possible! gamers nexus found that the original P400 did not have very good thermals
This case is amazing and definitely my top pick for my next build. Although, I do wish that Phanteks did a version of this case in white WITH the white PSU shroud and white accents inside.
ahhh finally, been wanting a review of this case for months and now 1 week before i buy it the review comes out. you guys are brilliant 👌
Your videos are always so smooth to watch. Great cam work, fitting music and you! : )
Still waiting for the H440 to be updated with a full clear glass side panel...
Just go with the s340 elite
I'm sure by the end of 2017, it should be out.
deleted Maybe he needs the extra drive cages or fan mounts?
Yes, unfortunately the s340 is too small for my needs. I'd remove the drive cages on the H440 and install a res/pump combo. Going for x2 360mm rads and a full SLI loop.
definitely!!! I do hope they update the H440 with full tempered glass, add top & front vents for airflow & more color options. i'm a FAN of NZXT cases!!!
This one together with the Define C look like my top two mid-tower cases. Amazing work, as usual, and that reversed clip with the removable dust filters from the top and bottom vent holes left me with my mouth open. Beautiful!!
Happy to hear :D:D
What about the define s or the phanteks enthoo evolv atx glass
PK Logue cases are so subjective - the ones you mentioned are great too, but the define c and the p400 have that something that tickles my personal fancy.
HardwareCanucks which has better airflow this or the define c?
which has better airflow this or the define c?
Just wanted to say thanks for the great case reviews - I am VERY particular about what case I use for a build, and your channel was invaluable in helping me choose the Phanteks P400 TG. Keep up the great work!!!
+Ohgeegeo happy building 👍 glad we could help!
I quite simply love your videos. The quality and way you film is second to none.
Finally! I've been waiting for you to review this case man I've already ordered one by the way.
you wont be dissapointed! it's pretty great.
Emm Ratz this case is awesome man.the white version is currently hard to find right now or was few days ago. new egg is back ordered. I back ordered few days ago and they shipped it today.
@@retrofan4life ik this was 3 years ago, but I'd like to ask, was the front panel big(not very flat), cause I would like to keep my build clean and white with a hint of rgb here and there
I'd like to see a comparison between this and the S340 Elite
I was looking at this but went with the Enthoo Pro M with the acrylic side instead. So far I love it specially since they changed the front panel to be fully filtered. Also I wanted a 5.25 slot so.... Glad to see they're adding some color inside the cases...
FINALLY I have been waiting for a review of this for a WHILE!
Compare this to s340 elite + temperatures please :) Great video as always!
Could you also check out the Phanteks Enthoo Pro M TG edition? Also 10 dollars more than the acrylic, but I think that looks better than the 400 TG. :)
This is the case I ordered and its already here, been waiting for a legit review on it, thanks. Glad I choose this case
OMG! Thanks Dmitry, been waiting for this video and waiting for your opinion, I am glad to see that the case i want is an excellent choice!
FINALLY, I needed to see this review since it's teased on your instagram...I owned the none TG version and love it but I have one problem with this is temperature.
(The bottom portion is a repost)
The reason P400 runs hotter is due to the air being drawn. Unlike Define C and S340 or any other case which the dust filters sit right infront of the fan while the P400 does not. The Dust filter is very far away from the fan and resulted choking the fan as no direct fresh air, the fan could be drawing air existing within the chassis. What I did to make my case being cooler in temp is to remove the stock dust filter and bought magnetic fan filters from Silverstone and place it right infront of them and resulted cooler in temperature as the setup is no difference with any other case.
QUOTE JackyLee1226:
“What I did to make my case being cooler in temp is to remove the stock dust filter and bought magnetic fan filters from Silverstone and place it right infront of them and resulted cooler in temperature as the setup is no difference with any other case.”
This really works, huh? Did you purchase the Silverstone Tek 140mm x 2 Fan Filter with Magnet, Black (FF142B) (www.amazon.com/Silverstone-140mm-Filter-Magnet-FF142B/dp/B008N8GENI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1489554778&sr=8-1&keywords=silverstone+FF142)?
Thanks…
ya but I bought these ones instead
Silverstone Tek 120mm Ultra Fine Fan Filter with Magnet Cooling FF123B (Black)...they come with 140mm as well
I have to say my graphics card runs very hot in the case. I have a front 240mm rad, and under gaming load my GTX1080 reaches 83C... Is that too hot?
rad in the front, with the airflow restriction this case has ..... Try popping off the front panel and have it kind of leaning against the case while you test temps. if that little bit of airflow makes that much difference, I'd consider cutting a large portion of the front panel out and putting a magnetic dust filter on the inside of the front panel, then reattach. Be artistic, or simplistic, but get more air to the front of that rad.
who needs a banana for scale? we have Fred!
Fred agrees :D 🌱
Fred is love, Fred is life
maybe Fred a Banana tree?
You are making so awesome Reviews Dimitri. I love it!
Greetings from Germany!
Another very nice presentation. Cannot wait to start new builds with this chassis. Thanks again.
Definitely want to see that comparison with the Define C, but I think this may still be my next case
Likewise
P400 only lacks in airflow. IMO, their functionality and features are almost identical in mid tower category. P400 TG has more features compared to Define C like TG side panel, LED strip, and fans controller.
I don't think you can realistically say the P400 lacks airflow, with up to 360 mm front intake. If you check out Luke's workshop on case air flow on LTT, more than a couple of fans won't make much difference. Definitely like the added features, agree there!
Last month my only option was an air 240 now all these new cases are popping up its making it hard to choose
Nope, I own one and it definitely lack airflow just like H440. The ability to mount 3 120mm fans doesn't it has good airflow. The front panel is choking the air like the way H440 front panel did.
Promotes NZXT Kraken X62 AIO before video....
Uses Corsair H115 AIO for the build....
Had been looking for a competitor for the In Win 303, and this is definitely it. Thanks for the video, just bought the full black version using your link!
I bought this case a month ago and am going to build in it in a week. Can't wait!
I can't recomend this case more. Super amazing price, easy to build in, and beautiful. I modded mine and added moss and an eternal terrarium and it looks gorgeous.
Sauced Tech I’m new to building PCs, can you plug in more than 2 usb things. For example a keyboard and a mouse and usb headphones
@@lerkan6964 You could plug it into the motherboard when you install it. They'll be at the back of the case
That nzxt sponsor advert is kraken me up :)
lol
That 2001 space odyssey reference
Detroit: become human.
I bought this based on your recommendation and was not disappointed. best case I've ever worked in.
I bought this case two weeks ago to replace my source 530, I love this case!
Compare it with the S340 elite and fractal design c
PLEASE COMPARE THIS TO A DEFINE C :) Now I have to think between these 2 cases for my next build. You should do loudness tests with the two cases side by side too
Will do :D
S340 Elite as well! ;)
classicrockonly choose the p400
That doesn't answer anything. Especially since I've bought non-Fractal cases and always go back 6-12 months later. Thank you for your input though
I just wanted to say, I love the plant you use in the videos!
How dare you heve such a great video editing skills. No but seriously...Camera and lenses and lighting...top notch.
I live everything of this Case, especially at this price point.
But the front looks like an Trashcan for me -.-
I will probably go with the Enthoo Pro M Tempered Glass Edition
I've literally watched this video more than 20 times
I got this case a few days ago and it is stunning. Mine didn't come with the fan covers for the top fans, and it came with a long single filter instead of the 2 small ones you have. No big deal because I always fill every fan slot.
Just got a friend of mine to buy this case for their new build
I wish you cover the airflow of this case and compared it to the s340 and fractal alike. I heard this case is a bit restrictive.
coming in a separate video!
Thank you!
Restrictive? That doesn't sound great. Would pressure optimized fans for front intake be a good fit for the P400S?
DON'T GET THIS CASE WITH AN AIO. 81 DEGREES WITH A STRIX CARD. DONT EVER GET THIS CASE.
Michael Adam yea I am still trying to figure out how my case fans should go
Is that Ad in the begining supposed to be a reference to HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey?
BAM
Awesome review as always bro!Always tuned in your channel!Keep up the good work! :) I have the Enthoo pro m acrylic edition but i think this is more cool pc case :F
I just built a system with the P400S White... what an amazing case, so refreshing! I used a Phanteks PH-TC12DX HSF, looks great!
Hard to argue at that price.
this or the s340 elite??
This.
Turbo Commando any particular reasons?
I am still leaning towards the S340 elite because of the cable management bar where you can bring in all the cables from the side. Also, there is a cutout for cables on top of motherboard also I think. As he mentioned in the video, the CPU cable has to come from the front because of this. Overall, I think this case will show more cables through tempered glass than the S340 elite.
If there is one CON to the S340 elite - its that if you install the SSD on the front of PSU shroud (See Bitwit video - he explains the problem), then you will lose one slot of hard drive cage because cables have to go through the cage towards the front of PSU shroud. Probably it can be squeezed in - but you either have to use only one 3.5 HDD or put one on the basement of the case. Other option is not installing SSD there - you get both cages.
I don't think that's a big con as cables showing on top. But that's me.
+Sannz looks better (imo), top fan mount covers and filters, included lighting options
Built in the S340, am picking this over the S340 Elite myself. The grooves are at the perfect places for cable manages too even though the huge cutout the S340 had was also nice. The LED's are also an added bonus and if you don't wanna use them you can just turn them off. I believe you get another 30cm strip included aswell so that's nice to have and those 2 will give the perfect subtle glow imo.
Hard drive mounting on the S340 is terrible in general aswell, there's a lot of shaking and if you ever wanna move it you'll probably hear your hard drive during the move.
It didn't take long for me to buy this case. Thanks for the review!!
Actually bought this case it is really nice..but with just few flaws. Big one is front panel airflow restriction.I think people that bought the case knows what im saying..heard many complaints about it..it would be really nice if Phanteks can make an aftermarket full mesh front panel.. Something like Cooler master did. Good work btw.
that is so sad! if this would only have a mesh front panel this would definitely be out of stock right away
Yay~
Audio needs fixing in the commercial :)
??? If you're referring to the robotic interference... you clearly haven't watched 2001 Space Odyssey 😜
HardwareCanucks rekt
Well made commercials... I don't see any other youtubers doing this great of job and the creativity is amazing.
HardwareCanucks I've tried twice, as it is a cult classic. But the movie is just too darn boring. Overrated AF. xp
Great review, btw!
I was referring to the interference in your voice, not the actual cooler.
But regardless, great video!
I have the silent white tempered glass edition. $76 after taxes from Newegg warehouse in city of industry. It’s such a nice size neat looking case, they’ve included things that much higher priced cases have: top removable covers, magnetic led strip, front led lighting, padded foam for the silent version. U would never need to mod this case. Excellent video.
I recently opened up my P400s and man it's beautiful inside (with the right hardware and cable management). Kinda wish I went for a version with a glass panel.
InWin 303 is by far the best glass case for 89$. these phanteks cases are horrible for custom watercooling. aio's are for n00bs.
i mean, who wants soft tubing in their computer? I'd rather throw spaghetti noodles into my pc.
303 has a psu shroud, more drive support, more rad support, bigger res/pump config support, and better construction. Can't deny that InWin is sexy and a better product. Dmitri probs feels the same way
Just bought it. Downgrading from a full tower to a mid. And this video sold me.
I went from a Corsair 400C to this and have no regrets. Beautiful case.
love the case in this color. the P400S TG is a great value case, even among lots of competition in the price range.
I use this, but found the 240 rad in front was heating the case more than i'd like when on the front with heavy gaming due to lack of ventilation (and in turn heating the inside of the case). Went with a single rad on the back exhaust and it was much better.
Awesome case! I did a review about it a while back and used it in my Road to Ryzen build! Great working on it, easy to keep tidy and a great looker, highly recommended! :D
DUDE REALLY HELPFUL VIDEO THANK YOU SO MUCHHHH!!! now i know what should i buy.
I got the Black/Red version, it was a decent case, though I didn't like that the top part was not offset to help mount a radiator, which is one of many reasons why I switched over to the Enthoo Evolv, the more expensive big brother type of case compared to this one.
I bought this case recently and did an i7, gtx1080 build. I found that the intakes (top and bottom) on the front panel were hugely restrictive, where my graphics card was running a whole 8°C cooler with it off!
It is an extremely beautiful case, with great designed, great features, and amazing bang for buck. BUT if you anticipate producing a lot of heat, get the enthoo pro m.
I've had the P400 since '16 and love it but the air flow wasn't very good. Just replaced the front panel with the P400a mesh panel (you can find it on line for around $20) and all I can say is---IT'S AWESOME. Lowered my systems temps across the board. Multiple C's lower on cpu/gpu....if you own a P400 or P400s---you need to get the mesh panel...total game changer.
Omg Yesssss you listened Dimitri. Thankyou for this review. Absolute legend.
Your cinematography is beautiful!
This was a great review, I always love your tech porn and this video has prompted me to buy this case in the summer. Thank you for not just focusing on the elite and making sure to cover options at every price point.
Thx for the review. Nicely produced!
phanteks makes such great cases! i'm currently rocking the Luxe and it's such a great case to work in. only down size is the physical size. I knew it was a full tower when i got it, but honestly didn't know how big that would be. i would have benefited more from a mid tower like this one.
oh well. maybe down the road when i decide to change parts i'll get a new case.
This is literally the case I decided to buy as soon as I started planning my am4 build.
I'm very happy with the case. It's been 1 year now and the only thing I wish was different was the front plate. Wish there were grills to help airflow
I love this case thanks for the review
Would like to see a noise comparison between tempered glass and acrylic side panels. is the system more quiet with one of them or does it really matter?
Great review, cut to chase and good filming. A +
Awesome review!! I have the older P400 without the tempered glass, and I like it a lot. :D
I have just got this case in Grey, it was this one or the NZXT S340, Glad I chose this it comes with RGB strips and is so easy to build into. watched alot of videos (Including this one). Thank you for the video :)
I just ordered this case on amazon!, $86 for the all black version. Excited!
yes! want to see fractal design define c vs P400!
Can you do a comparison between this, the define c and the s340 elite?
I think I've finally found my next case. This is beautiful for the price!
It's actually priced at $89 on Amazon! A rare equal price relation to MSRP.
Definitely getting this case for my next build
Been watching this video for probably the 7th time now and I didnt really need it, but you make a very teasing review so without i even noticed, I bought one. Well done Dmitry.
i love your videos, really nice work make a lot of them Dmitry
Good to know. I have one of these sitting in the box in the living room for my Ryzen build. I just took a chance on it, cause it was pretty.
I got this case with a CyberPowerPC pre-build from Best Buy. The stock setup was, of course, underwhelming so I tore out the whole package except for the 1TB HDD which is fine, and replaced everything. This case is bigger than my brother's NZXT of higher price point which surprised me and pleasantly so because I still have SO MUCH ROOM for upgrades after installing all the upgrades I had already bought for it. The only downside to this case is the stock case fans are definitely not quiet so if you want quiet you'll definitely be getting new case fans. Other than the fans, love this case.
got this about two weeks ago and I am loving it. I just wish it had ssd mounts on the psu shroud, like the s340 elite
Good review as always. Thanks.
i got this and it is awsome thanks for the review
So I was looking on getting another case to sit next to my s340 elite but I didn't want the same kind....thanks for finding it for me.
Hey dmitri,
Nice video but do you think you'll by the gh5 or not.
Kiss from france
Do you know if the fans included are Static Pressure or Airflow?
just ordered this case in white colour, for my new upcoming ryzen system !!!!!!!!!! hope all goes well with it.
Was worrying that the rad tubes wouldn't reach the CPU! Now I know that they will. Thanks!
On another note, got the white case- no regrets with a RGB motherboard, GPU, fans, and all set to blue lighting!
I bought this case because of this review. The case is absolutely gorgeous, and it makes building a rig so easy. I look like a pro with my wire management because of the shroud. Only thing the case needed was a cutout through the shroud to route my power cord for the GPU. Other than that great case!
Would get this if it supported bigger CPU coolers, 160 is a tad too low for the Cryorig R1
Bought this beauty just recently for my new PC. Haven't thrown together the whole thing yet but damn am I happy with it already.
I've had this case for a month, just discovered now you can set the case to cycle colors by I think holding on the LED button. or clicking it multiple times. idk how I did it, but it's fricking cool
hey. how are the temps? looks like it is choked by how the front panel is restricted by airflow as it's top and bottom holes doesn't bring much air inside the case. thanks
I've got one of these cases and they are really very good
