Just about house my new build in this case, I only build pc's for myself and don't keep up with latest tech until I need a new system which was 6 years ago! So this is hugely helpful, many thanks!
I picked up a cyberpowerpc from Costco because the display model instantly caught eye and it was this case which looked beautiful. Plus it was a i5 11400F, 4060 GPU, 32 GB DDR5, 2TB NVMe for $899.
Thank you so much for all your detailed build guide videos. I have been following them quite carefully for like 8 months now and last week built a PC (using the NV5 case!) because my son was getting impatient and wouldn't let me wait for this video to be out. 😹I am pleased to report that, because you're so clear even generally, I managed to reproduce much of what you're showing here and have a build that both looks good and worked the first time I turned it on. Thank you again! The only thing I'd missed is removing the thumbscrew to extra-raise the GPU support bracket, and after seeing this video I fixed this too.
Amazing, amazing guides. This shows builders whether the case is viable for our particular use case. Thank you for taking so much time and effort to get this out.
just thx you! i bought this case and i'm going to build it sunday with Phanteks fans like in your video. And i was thinking how to plug them without rgb hub. Now i know THX!
@@idkconflict if you stick with phanteks fans that are drgb then yes , I got d30’s and the case had 2 drgb cables from its hub connected straight to that and case powered by sata cable from psu 👍🏻
Nice work, thanks. Buying this case myself soon. The build would look slightly better with the new Glacier One 360D30 AiO cooler - all the fans would be perfectly matched. Even though I do have PC building experience, I really appreciate your videos 👍
You film connected the sata cable into the power source for the case rgb controller but you didn’t show where you connected that sata cable that comes from the power source
Any idea on how to reattach the rear panel or show us a video on how to do it? I’ve been smashing mine with my fist yes SMASHING as the little pins are to particular. Is this why you didn’t show us putting the panel back on in real time and and had to make a cut as you couldn’t do it ?
Thank you so much for this guide, simply amazing. I followed everything and it worked. I encountered no errors but one; When I press restart in windows (or when windows wants me to restart the PC) it won't boot again after turning off. If I turn the PC all the way off it boots just fine. The RGB on my Lian Li fans are on but screen is black and fans just keep spinning without anything happening. I re-checked the guide according to phanteks power switch cable, and by my logic as long as the PC boots the power switch cable is not plugged in wrong. Any thoughts on this? In advance - thank you very much for this amazing guide!
The aio radiator fans you had to set the speed on the fan itself. It’s that an insane design? Isn’t that software controlled? What if you needed to change that, you have to dissemble it again?
Great video though I got stuck at the fans I’m using Lian li UNI FAN SL-INF 120 with comes with the controller I want to control the RGB light using the case buttons so where do I connect the cable ? To the control box? Is there something that adapts it ?
Hi mate great video as always 😊. Iv just bought this case. Debating what psu to go with. Torn between this phanteks revolt seasonic vertex or corsair hx1000i. What would u recommend cheers
Did you use all the fans on the right, Phanteks D30 120mm PWM Reversed Air Vifte, and the one on the top, on the back, Phanteks D30 120mm PWM Vifte DRGB?
So I am thinking of using Lian Li's Strimer for the RGB MOBO/GPU cables, would I use the Lian Li controller and be able to control the lighting of the D30s and case with L-Connect? or would there be some other process to have the RGBs synced up (at least best they can be)
Hey i am just wondering would an ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III 360 work in this build as well ? For some reason on pcpartaker it keeps saying the case and cooler are not compatible. If anyone has any advice I would love some help
i have a question becaus i put almost the exact build together in PC part picker and i want to plug in a 4070 SUPER Trinity (because it has a 3 pin A-RGB Header) into the A-RGB, is there a Spare connector? Short Question: is there a A-RGB 3-pin Spare?
Thanks for the video! Have a quick question i read that there is a drgb controller, do they mean that it would be the front button to control case argb or an actual argb controller? Just go this case and the only accessories i got was the box alongside it no controller. Thanks!
if you mounted the radiator on the side and used those D30 fans, would that graphics card still fit or would the radiator/fan combo not allow a GPU to go passed it?
Someone told me CPU fan couldn't support 3( Phanteks Glacier One 360T30 GEN 2) FAN ,3 T30 fan work on the 3000 RPM.Because mother board cpu fan doesn't have enough power for it.
Hey I got a question. I bought the same case bur the built in led doesnt work. I saw that the rgb cable for rgb goes into the color and Mode Buttons on top the PC. Can you help me?
Does he not plug in the rgb from the radiator fans into the case controller? It seems like he only plugs in the rgb for the pump. Then he daisy chains the back and bottom single fans to connect to the other controller argb plug. So how do the radiator fans' rgb work?
I'm building in this case and my power button doesn't work. I connected the power cable to the motherboard like in this video. I can turn on the PC with the button on Mobo. Any suggestions, someone?
Just build this pc design today looking great but my bottom fine isn't lightening with any RGB even though I have connected all the RGB headers together is their a solution to fix this?
So the long rgb that’s stand alone needs to be left unplugged if you want to control it from the case itself if not just plug it into your motherboard and you’ll have to set mystic to override third party and reset
Hi, i have the Phanteks Glacier One 360D30 Black RGB All In One CPU Water Cooler - 360mm, nothing is mentioned about where to put the aio fans, is it usual to put them in the cpu header ? my current aio is corsair so all thru a commander core?
I cant get the light strip to work. I plugged the argb cable into argb port on MB. I cant control anything with NZXT software. Do I still need to connect the sata power cable on the backside of the case? Can you please clarify . Thank you

Was about to comment that 😂

I haven't build a PC in 10-12 years and this build and channel is fantastic. You explain everything in great detail. Subscribed!

This is an absolutely gorgeous build! Truly.
Glad you like it!
honestly wish I went here first, stuff i didn't understand or where the cables had to be plugged into are all explained here, thank you
Amazing, amazing guides. This shows builders whether the case is viable for our particular use case. Thank you for taking so much time and effort to get this out.
Phanteks is the most consumer friendly company I’ve seen
Amazing! I chose that very case for my build, it's really good one, especially for the price, and i found your video content so useful. Thank you!
just thx you! i bought this case and i'm going to build it sunday with Phanteks fans like in your video.
And i was thinking how to plug them without rgb hub.
Now i know THX!
Great vid from Christopher again 😎
Amazing guide ! Just put an order in for the NV5 and 6 d30s 3 of them reversed, wasn’t sure how the drgb hub worked but thanks for this 👍🏻
does the nv5 come with a fan hub to plug all the fans and rgb into?
@@idkconflict if you stick with phanteks fans that are drgb then yes , I got d30’s and the case had 2 drgb cables from its hub connected straight to that and case powered by sata cable from psu 👍🏻
alr bet tysm@@shaunirvine2837
Thanks a lot for your great work ! I just finish to setup my configuration in this case few minutes ago and your video was very helpful
So you plugged all of your fans into the rgb hub and you can control all of them with the buttons on the case?
Yes
Did you use a fan hub?
Nice work, thanks. Buying this case myself soon. The build would look slightly better with the new Glacier One 360D30 AiO cooler - all the fans would be perfectly matched. Even though I do have PC building experience, I really appreciate your videos 👍
Another great video Chris. Well done.
Super useful guide. Thanks!
Why did you use T30 for radiator instead of D30? My guess is better performanse?
You film connected the sata cable into the power source for the case rgb controller but you didn’t show where you connected that sata cable that comes from the power source
Very helpfull, thank You Sir ;)
Any idea on how to reattach the rear panel or show us a video on how to do it? I’ve been smashing mine with my fist yes SMASHING as the little pins are to particular. Is this why you didn’t show us putting the panel back on in real time and and had to make a cut as you couldn’t do it ?
Thx you saved my life with this rgb situation 😂
I've noticed you don't show how to install a hard drive. Do you have a video showcasing how to do so with this case?
10:45
Thank you so much for this guide, simply amazing. I followed everything and it worked. I encountered no errors but one; When I press restart in windows (or when windows wants me to restart the PC) it won't boot again after turning off. If I turn the PC all the way off it boots just fine.
The RGB on my Lian Li fans are on but screen is black and fans just keep spinning without anything happening.
I re-checked the guide according to phanteks power switch cable, and by my logic as long as the PC boots the power switch cable is not plugged in wrong. Any thoughts on this?
In advance - thank you very much for this amazing guide!

Love this case
How did you get the ram rgb to work with the case controller?
Bump
You missed the power button cable, where's that go??
Did you figure it out
@@meza5207 yep
Great video though I got stuck at the fans I’m using Lian li UNI FAN SL-INF 120 with comes with the controller I want to control the RGB light using the case buttons so where do I connect the cable ? To the control box? Is there something that adapts it ?
Hey which fans are outtake and which are intake. Would help me al lot. Can I make the 3 fans on the right side of the pc exhaust?
Hi mate great video as always 😊. Iv just bought this case. Debating what psu to go with. Torn between this phanteks revolt seasonic vertex or corsair hx1000i. What would u recommend cheers
Did you use all the fans on the right, Phanteks D30 120mm PWM Reversed Air Vifte, and the one on the top, on the back, Phanteks D30 120mm PWM Vifte DRGB?
Are those fans on the radiator sucking in air from the outside or pushing out air from inside the case?
Nice build. A real shame they could not maintain the same case layout as NV7.
I like it better for looks, too much space at the top of nv7, but agreed it was better for gpu cooling
So I am thinking of using Lian Li's Strimer for the RGB MOBO/GPU cables, would I use the Lian Li controller and be able to control the lighting of the D30s and case with L-Connect? or would there be some other process to have the RGBs synced up (at least best they can be)
thanks for putting me to sleep
Hello, excellent review but I have a small question. Is there enough space on the sides and top to fit 360 millimeter dust filters?
Question : do you need a phanteks cooler can you use any cpu cooler without a hub?
Hey i am just wondering would an ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III 360 work in this build as well ? For some reason on pcpartaker it keeps saying the case and cooler are not compatible. If anyone has any advice I would love some help
i have a question becaus i put almost the exact build together in PC part picker and i want to plug in a 4070 SUPER Trinity (because it has a 3 pin A-RGB Header) into the A-RGB, is there a Spare connector?
Short Question: is there a A-RGB 3-pin Spare?
If I may ask, what do you used to control all of the RGB, including the motherboard and the GPU to sync together? Thank you in advance.
Thanks for the video! Have a quick question i read that there is a drgb controller, do they mean that it would be the front button to control case argb or an actual argb controller? Just go this case and the only accessories i got was the box alongside it no controller. Thanks!
Hi, Chris, One question... When u install Windows Will u format the flash USB and use the same USB to update the bios? Or Just change USB?
You can do either. I just reuse the windows key so don't want to wipe it
Is it possible to mount a vertical gpu holder like cooler master v.3 in that case? 🙄
Provided GPU support no good for EATX (X670E Taichi)....sadly.
my man!
👍
was wondering about the fans... all of them are intake fans? how is the air gonna get out if it only sucks air in?
So after it's all built, could I plug the one RGB cable from the built in controller into the motherboard and have it be controlled via software?
if you mounted the radiator on the side and used those D30 fans, would that graphics card still fit or would the radiator/fan combo not allow a GPU to go passed it?
How do I make it so I can use the rgb mode on the Inbuilt rgb controller in thrbcase
8:27 Does this come with screws for any extra drives?
So how many connectors can be connected to the case rgb please help I have this case she's a beauty
Where can I get that screw driver you use?
Someone told me CPU fan couldn't support 3( Phanteks Glacier One 360T30 GEN 2) FAN ,3 T30 fan work on the 3000 RPM.Because mother board cpu fan doesn't have enough power for it.
so how does the 3 tall bracket effect my ability to mount 10g interface without leaving gaps?
Hi Chris would you recommend the psu. I can't decide on this or the seasonic vertex
Hey I got a question. I bought the same case bur the built in led doesnt work. I saw that the rgb cable for rgb goes into the color and Mode Buttons on top the PC. Can you help me?
Correct if I’m wrong, but doesn’t the bottom fan go under the bracket?
I have a question about the AIO from phanteks. Dose anyone know what airflow model these fans are?
Where does the 12 v cable go from psu
How did you Get your motherboard to work with the case rgb i cant Get my motherboard to Go with the case❓
Pity the GPU support and power cables get in the way of the GPU RGB.
Most support brackets block it with this gpu
you could go vertical
Nv5 or c3? And why?
would an aorus 4090 master fit in this case ?? any pls help
Chris, what case would you recomend for an rtx 4070 amongst the Phanteks NV5, H5 Flow & Lian Li Lancool 215?
216*
if you plug the Argb cable in the motherboard where would you control the rgb?
with the mother board bios or with program
Does he not plug in the rgb from the radiator fans into the case controller? It seems like he only plugs in the rgb for the pump. Then he daisy chains the back and bottom single fans to connect to the other controller argb plug. So how do the radiator fans' rgb work?
Did you ever figure this out? Was wondering the same thing
I'm building in this case and my power button doesn't work. I connected the power cable to the motherboard like in this video. I can turn on the PC with the button on Mobo. Any suggestions, someone?
Edit: The power cable was loose on the front IO, all good now =)
Are the three connected fans on the side used for intake or exhaust?
intake they re just reversed fans
Just build this pc design today looking great but my bottom fine isn't lightening with any RGB even though I have connected all the RGB headers together is their a solution to fix this?
So the long rgb that’s stand alone needs to be left unplugged if you want to control it from the case itself if not just plug it into your motherboard and you’ll have to set mystic to override third party and reset
Hi, i have the Phanteks Glacier One 360D30 Black RGB All In One CPU Water Cooler - 360mm, nothing is mentioned about where to put the aio fans, is it usual to put them in the cpu header ? my current aio is corsair so all thru a commander core?
also, if you connect the onboard controller to motherboard, does the case light strip still work via board software ?
I cant get the light strip to work. I plugged the argb cable into argb port on MB. I cant control anything with NZXT software. Do I still need to connect the sata power cable on the backside of the case? Can you please clarify . Thank you
yeh thats what i did and got the strip to work
nv9 build when??

Alsı i would like to see the tempetures :)
Ly man.
👍
such a shame for the top on off switch... its a deal breaker for cat owners
Hmmph. One of us have our fans on backwards… n I’m thinking it’s me 😭😭😭
most stressful experience watching this
Holy, maybe this case as my first pc build isn’t the right choice…
when on 3 youtube chanell know if the case had a filter and said this info when give the case break down amen
