The Phanteks NV7 Review - Airflow is Optional

- The Phanteks NV7 review is here and this full tower case is trying to set itself up as the best full tower case of 2023. But when things like the NV7 airflow, price and availability are taken into account, it might be tough to recommend vs the NZXT H9, Lian Li O11 and Hyte Y60.

The potted plant appearing in random places throughout this build is such a nice surprise. Very aesthetic (including when it makes absolutely no sense).
Never seen a case so well thought out. I'm in love with my HYTE Y60 because of the openness for thermals, but if anyone asked my for their build I would 100% recommend this one. 👏🏻🙏🏻👌🏻🔥.
An insane video. You make 100h of footage look so seamlessly.
Literally one of the best and most comprehensive, articulate and well thought out reviews on anything I've seen. Instant subscribe.
NGL, the presentation really sold the enclosure to me, thank you so much for the production quality and the dark shots look phenomenal
I ordered mine yesterday can't wait! You did an amazing job reviewing the case and had pleasant visuals!
I'm in love with it. Great video too, in-depth look at every little detail
Very Epic intro 😮
This is probably gonna be my next case!
Thanks for this epic review ! I was searching for someone to feature and try the back panel
This is going on my Christmas list. Very nice indeed.
Awesome review!
This video was really well done. The cinematography was soo nice. Great job man!
OMG I'm loving that case design. So many new innovative features! Can't wait to see the NV5 - hopefully they leave the major features
Just a reminder, the NV5 is out so you could check a review now if you would like.
I am really tempted in swapping. This out with my Phantek Eclipse.
@@Noodlepunkit’s the prettiest but it is horrible to take apart. The psi goes up too which sucks imo. Also not a whole lot of space
@@taddsembler7508 yeah I do not like only having one fan on the bottom like the NV5.
I think I see in my future this case on my desktop. Love the look and cable management.
Really good informative review as always. Top marks. Good looking case to. Would love to see this with a distro plate in the front fully populated with a custom water loop (nickel plated metal tubes) in the white case. Reckon it would be V.nice!
This was an exemplary review and video. Very well done.
Mine arrived today in black. . . Can’t wait to put it together. . Gonna enjoy every bit of it
I was lucky enough to get the black case before it sold out (at least where I'm at), but didn't get any of the black fans. Hoping they restock soon, they look so incredible.
I can't wait to see some watercooled builds for this so I can have some ideas before I start my build later this year.
I'm liking this case (and your review was great). That white build is very pretty. I'd love to see a full custom water cooled build.
I would love to see them make an SFF version of this case
It'd be gorgeous aesthetically, but airflow wise...oof
@@raptureparadox they can make a pass through from bottom to top maybe to mitigate it
yes
I can only imagine how crazy cramped the cable management would be.
Or at least something a little smaller. This thing is huge.
Amazing case, especially white one. Probably my next case will be Phanteks again. For now, i already choosed p600s weeks ago for my new setup.
Also color grading is great in this video. Good work.
This case is really dope! I hope some of the features on this case trickle down to a more compact mid-tower case. Personal favorites are the cable routes in the back with the mesh back panel door, the led outline of the motherboard, and the covers for the mothervoard cables. Overall super cool design. Hope for a smaller version.
Have you seen the new nv5? All wishes came true
14:37 I too am at a loss for words. Dmitry you guys have done it again. Love this one!
Case review GOAT has risen!
beautiful and well-made review
I think this case is wonderful for anyone who, like me, is not very good at planning out builds. The insane amount of space leaves a lot more room when building, to properly think out how to route your cables and other things.
Nice review!!
Great review!
Great video, thank-you
Nice video and case. Definitely one to consider , if I hadn't bought the Be Quiet SB802.
Now , do the Antec Performance 1 folks, I 'm waiting a review from you 😁
Fantastic intro music. Fits the case well.
O Lordy I just looked at the price.
Wow.. This has to be the cleanest footage on youtube of a computer review. Incredible! Just picked up this case and awaiting its arrival. Question, will it support dual 4090's?
To be honest, for my taste this is probably the single best PC Case ever, and definitely the best looking one, can't wait to see more builds on this thing
Love mine.
Very smart on the tilt!
That flat area at the top of the case, if youre not watercooling, would be ideal for a TFT system stats screen!
phanteks is already launching a screen for this case and nv5
Case ordered for a new PC build!
Dying to see the D30 Fan Review! They're out of stock everywhere and tempted to order a bunch once they hit the web again.
I personally love all the extra space it makes the case look massive and open a really good aesthetic feature
I'm ready to get this case for my next build.
awesome content!!!
Your review is probably the best I've ever seen from any youtuber. Not gonna lie.
Beautiful case, I think it may be next one to build in. The space above the motherboard would be perfect to mount a Wide sensor panel/LED Screen to finish the look.
Having built 5 of these so far I love em, very well built, airflow is great, my personal rig with AM5 Ryzen 7950x and RTX 4080, CPU sits around 63-72c at full use and 40c idle with a 360 AIO and very quiet , have done some NV5s as well, very nice to work with, looking forward to doing an NV9 monster.
Great lookin case. What were the temps with the 8 fans 360 AIO installed ?
What are the colors on the RGB Leds you are using on the white build? Awesome video!
Im for sure waiting for the nv5, I dont need the top space but would totally love this case in a not so high form
Love the new intro
Well done just amazing looking pc 👌👌👌
Great Video
That White build looks absolutely amazing
Grt video thanks
Good lord it looks amazing love the space wow
This will be my next case for sure.
A mini version of this would be epically awesome............pweeeaaasseee!
the engineering of this case is top notch! love the design!
I agree with your end comments Dimitri. I REALLY wanted to like this case, and I do, it's just I feel there's a lot of wasted space and potential of this case mainly in the decision to limit the fan and radiator support. I feel like in enclosure of this size it's absolutely inexcusable to not include support for triple 420mm rads and at least the option for the side to include support for a 480mm rad.
I currently have the Lian Li O11 WGX ROG with two 360mm rads and with a bit of modding I could fit a third one in there - and that's a case that's a fraction of the size of this case.
I feel like only being able to do triple 360mm rads in this case is such a put off for people in a position like me who have a decent enough setup but want to really stretch the legs for the next build and it honestly looks silly to do triple 360's in a case of this size.
There needs to be a bridge between something like a Lian Li O11D and the Lian Li V3000 but this isn't it.
Also on a side note the Lian Li O11 XL can only do triple 360's too but I'm sure that's a smaller footprint than this case so it doesn't look so rediculous.
I’ve been looking at a lot of cases to start my first build. I have a custom build I bought but there is much to be desired now that I’m learning more. I have a degree and years of experience in Thermodynamics with an empire aerodynamics. This case checks all my boxes for the obvious but also space (big hands), ease of access, simplicity, and quality of materials, and finished look is chefs kiss. If there are other cases that would fit this criteria let me know so I can check them out!
that gap left at the top i think id use that space to put an LCD screen would fill the place and add to esthetic what do you think?
That plant ties the scenes together
I enjoy my H7 Flow, it's one of the few cases in its price range that allowed me to use my 5-pack of 140mm P14 PWMs. 1x140mm exhaust, 2x140mm top, 3x140mm front is possible.
I got to have one of these cases for my next build. Either this or the h9 flow
I use one of these. Best case I've ever had by far.
Beautiful case.
Great video and all, but that hoody man! So much envy!
This case is really well designed, will definitely consider getting it at some point. I'm fine with 120mm fan support, 140mm fans would also be nice, but aren't really necessary, to me at least.
Especially when you can get this many fans into a case...
simply beautiful builds, Sassy D
Great review!
I pre-ordered this and will be parting with my Hyte Y60. The Hyte case is great, but I need a bit more room to play with for the loop (specifically mounting dual reservoirs up top which will fill that empty "gap" up top that you mentioned you don't like). The N7 is beautiful, and I have no problem being forced into the fan/radiator sizing.
Update: I'm done with the build and good lord, is it beautiful 😍 🤩 👌
OMG I FOUND MY CASE! thanks for the video. The best part for me is the included RGB and the RGB add ons we can buy + i LOVE the big blank forehead space above the motherboard, thats going to be the PERFECT spot for a widescreen Internal LCD monior...........PUMPED.
The White is so awesome.
I really like alle the space.
I dont think it looks too big or empty.
I'm glad to finally see a company taking a lesson from darkflash and do dual exhaust. More company's should do dual exhaust. It's an actual game changer.
What AIO do you have, and in that AIO do you put more D30-120 fans?
This case is everything!
No 420 rad support on top kills this case for me sadly :( Great review as always!
nice case! 😮
i`m in love with this case ! great review as always
The RGB roundup @15:00 failed to include the CoolerMaster MasterFan Halo's, which I stumbled upon while looking for ring-type ARGB fans to match the two 160mm front ARGB fans of my ($114.99) white Lian Li Lancool 216 RGB case, a case that wasn't included in the chart @15:13 for some reason.
I love this case!
I'm glad I watched this review. The fact that it really only supports 120s for fans is a deal breaker for me. Plus I would end up stripping some of the beautification panels and routing and stuff off. I had thought about doing a Mass Effect N7 build with it so some removal of features would be part of that. Nice looking case overall though, especially with the right components.
Get the nv9
Hoping for an NV5 compact tower in this series. I think it would be perfect. This is the cleanest fishtank case there is.
Certainly one in the works (Q3 ish is a guestimate)
What awesome soundtracks are used in the beginning and during the assembly?
lovely case, I have to accept with my inwin 303, he still kicks ass and others :D
I assume I have to either get a fan hub or plug fan pwm directly into the motherboard?
LOOKS GREAT! but why does everyone put the aio pipes to the right? makes it look so messy..
This case is so beautiful and I've been waiting for the reviews to drop but it's too big for me. Like you said, an NV5 would be perfect.
Seriously thinking of retiring my phantek eclipse and getting this case.
Never got why people setup their fans on these types of cases to have the side panel be an exhaust rather than intake, it forces the exhausting air in 2 different directions and creates negative pressure.
I was thinking the same thing. I have the O11 Dynamic Evo and get much better results with the side as intake
This is intake... These fans are reversed.. D30 fans come in reverse and regular mode
@@likandros3633 not on the black build, pretty sure those fans are set to exhaust
@@JackTotGaming you are absolutely correct.. I was talking about the white one..
@@likandros3633 ahh gotcha, yeah those new fans with the reverse are pretty cool
Great case
Im stuck between thos case and the Liah Li 011 vision. Any recomenations?
Best reviewer and I have just built a new PC after 20 year hiatus
I wonder if they're going to make a smaller version. I got the G500A and I think it's the best case of that older bottom PSU + shroud with single glass panel design, but I'd like to see what they can do in a similar size but using the newer Lian-Li/Hyte fish-tank approach.
Also IMO I really dislike the rear cable management idea. I get the point of it, it would help with like a show PC where you have it say out on a desk in a high end office setting, but practically it seems like a huge pain. The display port cables I have are also literally thick like a garden hose, and I see now way that they could be comfortable bent downward to fit in that space, especially without damaging the connector on the GPU. Also for air flow, the G500A has incredible positive air pressure that just blasts out of their PCIE covers. If you add all that small mesh behind that to block it, I would imagine that natural positive pressure and cross flow would be notably reduced.
i don't mind the Space / Gap with a 360 Aio it looks clean and generous to me,
not so packed and bulky like other Builds, especially the MB frame combine with the
D30s makes it for me, i' am very close to drop my O11 Build for this Beauty.
Great video. What's the case in the background in the outtro?
Those are the NV7's he built in this very video lol. The black one behind his right next to the monitor, and the white is behind his left.
@@someonesgoat come on, man. That's too easy. 😂 Fuck me. Was obviously too tired when watching it, because it's clear as day now. Thank you for waking me up
What are the temps with all those fans? the data you have is one intake and two exhaust fans
Can't wait to the nv9 going be huge
Hi I was wondering if u could do an all white nv7 water cooled build with the d30s
Phantastic! If I get one, I will feel guilty when I spray paint the frame.
The extra space on the top of the motherboard is perfect for a sensor display.
I just can't make up my mind between Phanteks NV7, NXZT H9 Elite and Lian Li O11 Dynamic EVO. 😀
Is that D30 fan review out yet?
if you can find one, please do a review onf the Jonsbo TK-1 (would be similar to an NV3 if Phanteks ever makes one)
very nice case.
If the RGB Controller controls all the fans intergrated with the PC Case RGB how did you get half purple/pink and half blue, just curious or is there a program as well to control RGB, little confused to how you managed it
The integrated controller has two channels for rgb (A and B)
So Phanteks aren’t supplying covers to go either side of the bottom fans now?
They were there on the cases at CES
How will varticle mounting GPU works with the PCIE backpanel is so close to the bottom fans
