Like its name suggests the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX, is compatible with ATX motherboards, which is placed vertically and thanks to the size of the case you will not run into any issues installing large heat sinks. The motherboard tray is made of solid steel, and it features a big cut out behind the socket, which allows the user to install aftermarket CPU coolers when the motherboard has already been installed. There is a total of nine rubber grommets, which allows for neat cable management. Between the motherboard tray and the right side panel there is enough space to hide plenty of cables. The case shares the latest features regarding internal layout, like for instance is a big mid plate covering the power supply cables. In total, the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX supports up to five 3.5" HDD and two 2.5" SSD, both in dedicated places and well hidden.
For testing purposes we used an ASRock Fatal1ty X99M Killer motherboard and a 240mm AiO water cooler from Fractal Design and we did not run into any mounting or compatiblity issues. Building a PC based on this case is very easy and quick if you use a CPU tower cooler or an AIO liquid cooler, but if you want enjoy all the benefits of this case you should use a custom water cooling setup. The area dedicated to the graphics card is large enough to accommodate even the most powerful GPUs on the market. After having had put our test system together the final looks were very esthetically pleasing. Especially the optional custom lighting is just great. |
