I appreciate the fact that you discuss every option on the cases you build with. It is extremely helpful.
Thanks
yes thats is pretty well done. i agree with your opinion.
Insanely thorough. I had to laugh and smile at you changing the PSU cables to white because of a single extension needed... Your thoroughness and attention to detail is much appreciated.
I literally just stumbled across your Channel randomly out of nowhere last night. I am getting back into PC gaming and about to build a new rig in an NV7. Your video is the only one I've seen online that goes into such detail and is so wonderfully helpful. Especially the Rat's Nest of wiring. I really really appreciate your video so much and it's going to help me tremendously in my build. Thank you so much. Keep up the awesome work. You have a new subscriber for life.
This is a beautiful build and you’re insanely expert in putting out a step by step and I will build mine just like yours - thank you!
Thanks
Hands down the best build guide tutorials on YT, no fluff, just straightforward instructions clearly explained, brilliant!
This was by far the best step to step build I’ve seen on TH-cam. I am definitely gonna follow this with similar parts I bought this Black Friday!
Omg, that was so informative! I'm building my first PC and I wanted to know how the N7 works before buying one. You explained everything in so much detail that I'm feeling much more comfortable to buy one now. Thank you so much!
Christopher, you have outdone yourself here with this video. Very professional, methodical, very well paced and hitting excellent points!
This was very well presented and a joy to watch. Subscribed. I'm building my NV9 later this week and since I haven't built a PC since 2016 wanted a refresher. This was absolutely perfect. Many thanks!
High quality case, comprehensive review and comparison, all in all best pc building tutorial I've seen.
This video was so well done. And I have to say this is a beast of a build, I could only dream of something this nice
The controller is able to control all of the fans, motherboard and AIO on one channel. I was having the same issue and didn't like syncing the lights on two modes. I took the plugs out of channel 2, and plugged them into the female connectors of what I had in channel 1. Phanteks said this would work, I tested it. Works fine so far!!! I don't have anything plugged into channel 2
So you have everything on A1 and A2? I currently building. And I got the glacierone T30v2, ledstrip and the 12 rgb fans. Will all go to one channel? I see you can have max 4Ampere per connector but only 7Ampere in total per channel. I guess that should work fine.
@@Erlendwi Yeah I have everything plugged into A1 and A2. I had them in both channels first but found it too annoying to have to change each channel individually
Thank you for posting this 🙌🏽
so did you plug in the aio in the CPU opt?
@@I_Kaisnow_I I believe so, its been a minute. AIO is plugged into motherboard
Najlepszy poradnik krok po korku jaki znalazłem z użyciem tej obudowy!
Czekam na swoje części i niebawem biorę się za składanie!
Dziękuję za fantastyczny film! Pozdrowienia z Polski ❤
Amazing review, extremely comprehensive and particularly like the minor nuances of the case that you need to be mindful of in construction. Awesome work.
I just finished building in this case and it is all thanks to your video! Much appreciated!
Amazingly detailed review that is clear and concise. Superb work as always.
Your in depth builds are so much appreciated and by far the most thorough! I have an interest in one of these Phantek NV cases and this is exactly what I was looking for. I would probably bypass the controller and bring in my own so that I can better control the RGB (SignalRGB) but as mentioned this case is definitely something I am interested in.
Im waiting on my AIO [last piece] and then I can start building my computer! Im so excited! Your step by step has helped a lot. Cable management and going into the right slots are likely my main scare XD
Just take your time and double check
Great build. I have the Nzxt H9 flow myself but this case looks very good. The space above the motherboard looks a perfect place for a wide screen sensor panel. Thanks for the video man.
Exactly how I’m doing mine lol
Quick weird question im gonna throw at you guys real quick. Im using the nv9 and the 4090 suprim. Since that comes with an aio i was gonna put the radiator on the side. Sadly tbe radiator is only 240mm and i want to do push pull with it. That alone will leave space on the side for more fans. Should i add two 120 fans to it or can i leave it open there? Will the two fans not on the radiator limit air exhausting out of the fans on the radiator?
Thanks, this was very helpful! Cable management is a bit of a nightmare in this case in my experience but it looks damn good once it's done
Fantastic job as always, have this case coming to Alaska and putting my parts list together.
my thoughts - this is the masterpiece of those kind of videos.
Well said!
Legendary video. Helping me so much with almost the exact same build. Sub earned.
Great and thorough overview/build! Well done. SUBBED!
Thank you. I have a very similar build and this video helped me answer some questions. Much Appreciated!
This was extremely useful, thank you for this guide
Ever since I saw a videeo about this case I knew it will be my next case. And after watching the review it is 100% my next case!
Thank you so much for the video. I did my NV7 build this week and though we have different specs, your step by step guide removed so much of the guess work. @phanteks should use this video as a tutorial.
Completely agree. Phanteks needs this as the video guide.
Thanks for the tutorial i managed to build my nv7 with d30 fans . I followed everything except the installation of the stocks fan of my aio
I'd say this the best case i saw ever! Thanks for the video and all the info, very soon gonna get it , i jist built my own pc gaming based on one you your videos, i used 5000d case but honestly i don't know i really didn't like the white case, plus this nv7 looks waaaaaaaay better, already made a list of what i need: case , fans reverse and regular, and phanteks cooler as well!
Thank you for this, I am going to buy the NV9 when it comes out and retire my Eclipse case.
Just like always I love your videos bro 👍👏👏👏👏
Sat through the whole video because it's just so detailed. I couldn't ask for a better guide. Well done.
What a very well done video. 😊
I've built a PC after one of your video, you upload builds so often I am no more satisfied with mine xD (it runs everything in high settings till this day)
nice review, well done m8
I like how you show how the pins are connected from a separate closeup shot of the motherboard when it isn't installed in the case so we can get a clearer picture
A note to be made when using this AIO if you choose not to set fans on both sides that few inches/mm of displacement from the frame may affect how easily your pump sits on the cpu. when I mounted it and lined the pump up with the cpu it did attach but the RGB covers couldn't sit because the angle of the hoses was too steep to fasten it back on. I ended up flipping the raditation and fans 180 degrees to get it to work where I could place the cover back on.
@Christopher Flannigan
My next build will be this 😍
I cant actually wait for the nv5
Top video...nice guys, thx
love the step by step videos you do Chris, even though I am an experienced PC builder, every day seems to be a school-day watching your videos. I used your Lian-li Dynamic EVO S-B-S guide when I got that case, and I am taking delivery of the NV7 tomorrow so I have just watched this one in preparation for that build. A question though.... will I be able to use the Lian Li SL120 Uni Fans with the Phanteks controller without any adapters?
okay, I have worked out that I can, but the cables are not long enough to reach the controller, I have sourced some extenders but if they do not work I am biting the bullet and going for the D30's
Damn, just when I got to the moment of glory and installing the graphics card... The damn cable is too short. So, thanks for giving me the link to the extension cables. I'll have to wait for those to come in next week. Video has been a huge help though. Thanks.
extremely helpful video! i'm building the case! thanks! also a question: if I plug the ARGB cable from the adaptor to the Motherboard, can I still use the buttons from the case to control the ARGB?
Great video, I actually found your build on PC Part Picker and fell in love w/ the case. I'm currently ordering parts for a new build myself. I'm debating putting the Phanteks D30 fans in addition to the stock AIO fans (push/pull like you did) or just using the stock AIO fans. Is the AIO cooling performance much different w/ the 6 verse just the 3 that come with it? I'll be running the same AIO as you did, but a Ryzen 7800X3D and 3080 instead.
Always install your graphic card while your pc is on its side to take the weight off while you screw the graphic card in. I love watching pc builds I've built many myself.
Enjoyed everything about this video, apart from one key part. You are running different fans for a push-pull configuration on the AIO. Unless they are matched in terms of their speeds / pressure, they are unlikely to offer optimal performance and may create some 'interesting' effects in terms of sound coming from this setup...
Super helpful video! I'm doing a full overhaul after 3 years and im having to deal with RGB cabling managment again which is a pain. I have 9 of the Phanteks SK120 DRGB PWM fans, but I'm planning on using 3 Corsair RGB fans I have in my old build. Do I need an addition hub for the 9 fans or will they all link to the built in one? They're chained together right now. My power supply is over a week out due to backorder so I can't even turn the system on to check if they’ll work.
hi very nice build..if i may ask which electric scredriver do you use or you recommend for this type of jobs
I was wondering if you can do in depth testing on best configuration for cooling in this case!
Is there any advantage of having the lower fan bracket on the angle (better cooling or air dispersion) other than getting a good look at them??
Great video, but being that I don't speak English too well I don't understand the part at 31:28, could you tell me in A1 which ones should be put (Bottom/3 fans, Behind/4fans, Left/2 fans and top/ 3 Radiator Fans)and same thing if you could tell me for A2,B1,B2. At most if I make a mistake and try again until they go nothing happens? Tyyy
How man reversed fans and regular fans did you buy or use ?
Can I controll the speed of the D30 fans with a corsair commander pro or another commander since I just can not give up fan profiles etc.? I just hate bios fan curvs. They are both PWM 12V so it shoul work hardware wise, but i do not know if corsair has chips in their fans or something like that. Also, is it possible to controll the RGB by using a RGB controller from corsair? The main question is that can I use the fans in a commander pro to get the software that I want to use?
Which fans are intake and which ones are exhaust? I bought the case and Im having trouble finding an optimized fan layout thanks ahead of time!
This is the best NV7 build so far, I followed everystep and made a nice build. Im nist confused with the rgb controller. Can i plug the phanteks rgb hub straight into my Mobo to control them?
Curious, do you get a worthwhile improvement on cooling efficiency with the push/pull method for the AIO?
Really like this case, and looking at it for an upcoming build I'm considering. The only downside for me the built rgb controller. Never really a fan (yawn) of them.
I assume this controller isn't 'smart'? It can't be controlled by software? I wonder if I could get lian Li fans instead and plug them all into the ARGB ports instead and do it all from software?
I’m looking into getting this case with a MSI MEG Z790 ACE E-ATX motherboard. Looking at Phanteks website and MSI for the dimensions. As well as looking at PCpartpicker. It looks like it will fit, but the part I’m questioning is the 90degree ports on the motherboard. The motherboard cover I know flips around but those 90degree ports is what’s really hesitant on purchasing. Would love to hear your answer on this question of mine.
Great review btw.
i recomend usin 3 14cm fans (instead of 12cm) in the bottom, as they close (seal) false air retuning from the case around the fans, because the air want the least resistance path, instead of pulling air trough the bottom fan filter. I bought the case but have not finish the build.
Thanks Christopher. I just got this case and I notice that my GPU is touching the vertical RGB cable cover. Was your GPU doing the same? I'm worried about a short if that happens. Also any issues connecting that many D30 fans to the hub in the case?
I can´t wait for you to make a build-rewiew onPhanteks Premium PCIe Gen4 Vertical GPU Bracket DRGB
Great presentation yet again. One question, can you use the the gpu support bracket when in EATX mode? Looks like moving the mb side bracket prevents access to gpu support bracket screws holes?
Yes, there are holes in it when you turn it round
@@ChristopherFlannigan Thanks :-)
🤔 Could that dual wire from the case hub be plugged into a Lian Li Unifan SL120 V1 hub? I think they are the same connection type, and then I could control the motherboard “frame” RGB through software instead of pushing a button.
Hi could I just ask how all the RGB fits in to the controller? I know the controller has 4 RGB slots, and each fan cluster would take up 1, and then the lights from the motherboard are already plugged in - Is there a splitter included somewhere for the additional RGB?
Christopher, can you tell me what length your cable mod(be quiet cable actually I think you said) cable is that reaches? Mine isn't long enough and I need to make a new one with cable mod. I have similar setup as you
So. Why not use the back as the front? I think that's doable, right? Particularly with the ability to use the reverse fans as intake and the side/backside fans as exhaust.
gorgeous
I have a few questions:
1) For every motherboard if u use a gen 5 m2 Lost u Will cut the GPU Power? Even if u put a Gen 5 in that slot?
2) How do u know if that slot Is for gen 4 or gen 5? Motherboard instruction only?
3) How do u know what M2 slot go into the GPU and Who not?
Hey love the build and video! Quick question, the links for the d30 fans take me to a Chinese reseller, is that who you purchased it from or was it directly from Phanteks as the seller on Newegg? Just curious so I can figure out whether to pull the trigger, the reviews look questionable on the seller lol
Phanteks sent them with the case. This was the only place I could see them to link to, but didn't realise it was a third party
@@ChristopherFlannigan it’s ok! I wasn’t upset just thought I’d ask to see if it was reliable seeing as you have working ones 😂 Computer Orbit has them in stock for only $18 international shipping so hopefully that works out for me!
Pull the excess cable through too the back. 20:35 just sounds right!.
do the fans on the radiator get set to intake or exhaust? yours are exhaust
Anyone have trouble placing the RGB brackets back on over the cpu and 24pin cables?
Does it matter whether the USB 3.0 and 3.1 headers go through the middle or bottom cutout? The manual shows the bottom cutout. I followed yours and went through the middle.
could you fit two nvidia rtx 4090s in this case? ill be using at asus hero motherboard
Wonderful video, I’ve ordered the same case. I had a question as I want to do the same exact set up on the fans. How many are reverse and where should the placements be? I believe the 4 fans are reverse, the 2 rear by MOBO is regular but can’t tell what position the fans on the bottom are if normal or reverse D30’s. Thanks in advance!
Bottom and side fans are reverse.
Did you use 2 separate sata cables for the controller? I currently have sata both wires going into 1 power supply cable. Thanks!
Yeah I wanted to know this as well.
Only thing I would change would be to put the two back fans at the lowest position, and add one of the backplates that comes with the case on top of the fans.
23:11 Did you connect the wrong cable? shouldn't they both have the thick clips and not the skinny clip
35:11 So are those long Phanteks screws come with the Phanteks NV7?
I was hoping this video would talk me out of buying this case since I already have one… damnit
Please since I don’t have enough available SATA cables. Can I use only SATA (A) in case of using only the Connection (A) ports in the controller ? This is too important
What cable extension do you use for the grafic card please?
Are the phantek fans on the radiator IO in reverse or regular?
Did you get any clarification for your question? What did you go with?
Is it possible to install a 280mm rad for an aio at the bottom?
I've got the MSI Suprim X 4090, it has a cable with 1 splitting into 4. Should I just use that or should I get the 12VHPWR?
Adaptor will work well but maybe not look the best, or you could get a custom cable for a better look. Take a look at cablemod
Will the MSI MEG X670E Godlike fit into this?
Hello everyone. Just bought the same exact case and PSU as well as Cablemod kit from the video description that came with 12vhpwr cable that splits into 3 8-pins and I got no clue how to connect it into my PSU since there are 2x 10 pins and 4x 12 pins slots in it... I'm totally clueless and spend past 5 hours looking for a solution. The GPU I bought is 4080. I'd really appreciate your help.
Kinda confused. I have 2 regular fans packs. I assume the regular fans but haven’t got the reverse fans. Your reversed fans are on the bottom? Your regular ones are rear and side, correct?
31:28 I think you meant Rear Fans -> Side Fans -> Top Fans, not bottom fans because you connected them at the CHA-FAN Pins. Right?
I like the design they have put into this case but it would be for very specific builds. I would not have enough cable length to feed my peripherals out the back using the cable management... my case is upwards of 4 feet away from some of my racing gear. I also would not be able to use my water distro block from D140 Phanteks in the back of the case because it is contoured for the IO shield and would look kind of dumb in the back. I also could not use my 420mm radiator in this case. I guess I will stick to my Phanteks 719 for the foreseeable future.
I see they plan to make a NV9 but the price for that is not what I am willing to spend. Especially since I already spent $200 on this 719 case.
Hello Christopher, I am a bit confused as to how you wired the cablemod 12vhpwr extension to your power supply. You mentioned the “black” 12vhpwr was too short and used the cablemod extension (white). Can you clarify how you hooked up the extension to the existing 12vhpwr you had before. Thanks
Or is there an addition cable needed to go from the PSU to the extension (12vhpwr) thanks
I’ve just ordered this case, will be installing 13 Lian Li infinity’s, can I ask how you would advise the exhaust to intake set up? Would you say 3 exhaust through the top aio rad and two exhaust rear while the bottom 3 and 4 back panel to be intake?
Many thanks
i thought about using the infitiy fans as well but then the rgb controller in the case would be useless
Where is the link for the 5v argb adapter?
Will that 12VHPWR cable be enough for 4090 aswell ? or do i need to use the adater that comes with it and plug in all 4 cables to it ? i see the adapter that comes with the 4090 have 4 connectors, but the 12VHPWR only have 2 for the psu? will this be enough ?
also. What kind of extention cable are you using for the gpu to make you able to connect it?
What's the name of jst adapter? I dont find it anywhere
Im getting this case but I cant understand why they only decided to add one dust filter.......for such a premium case.....seems very strange
Are you having any problems with the Nvidia RTX 4070 as I head a great deal about trouble's with the new graphics cards.
No it's working well
Which phanteks fans went where? 2 regular on the side, 3 regular on the radiator, 3 reverse on the bottom, and 4 reverse on the side?
This is my same question as I’m trying to confirm to complete same layout.
how many total fans do we need?
