Hey guys i need some advice on getting the best case cooling for build i plan on doing. I will be using the Phanteks Enthoo Pro Case. It comes with 1X 200mm intake fan FRONT, 1X 140MM EXHAUST REAR. Im thinking to add 2 X 140MM EXHAUST TOP. Considering that my CPU intel stock fan cooler and video card as both as intakes will his cooling be good. As far as i think my theory goes that this should create a neutral type pressure. Having a even of 3X intake fans and 3X exhaust fans . What do you guys think ? be appreciated cheers. Video card: MSI GTX 1060 ( Twin Frozr VI cooling ) CPU: I5 6500 (WITH STOCK FAN) Case fans i intend to add: 2X PH-F140SP, a 140mm Premium fan

So I am thinking about upgrade the liquid cooling to a double lenth one using both 120mm fans just to take full advantage, howevery the fron't panel's opening won't cover both fan as showen in the photo.I still perfer to install radiator on the front Will this have a big different ? I just want to take advantage of two fans.

What are the best brand of case fans that I can get with my new case? Thank you. I don't need led case fans.

Hello guys, I will build a new rig for myself in few weeks and my case will be the phanteks enthoo pro. As I will add two more fans at the top, I will have 5 fans in total : 1x 200 mm front 2x 140 mm top 1x 140 mm rear 1x Dark Rock 3 My motherboard will be a MSI Gaming 5, it come with 2 cpu_fan connectors and 3 chassis_fan. I don't like to put the last fan into a cpu_fan as it will be scaled on CPU temp. But the phanteks enthoo pro come with a PWM hub at the back of the case. Source : http://www.phanteks.com/enthoo-pro.html => The PWM hub makes it possible to control all the connected fans (also 3-pin fans) with PWM function through 1 PWM connector and create a better cable management I was just wondering how I can make things works. Should I plug the 4-pin pwm hub into a cpu_fan connector? So I can control the fans which are plug into the hub? Should I plug the sata power of the hub as well? Please help me to make the best possible fans control. Thanks guys.

Where on the case should i mount the fans and which ones should be airflow/static pressure optimized for the best possible performance/airflow of this specific case? (btw i dont have the psu shroud that is on the given picture and i will remove all the cages for the hdd/optical drives since im not using any of them) I intend to buy all the fans that i can squeeze in this case and i dont mind the noise at all because i always use noise canceling headphones when im on the pc, however i always prefer to buy bigger diameter fans because of their lower pitched sound. And please explain the logic/theory behind your choices

Hello guys, I was nearly about to buy me a new computer with the Phanteks Enthoo Pro. But recently Phanteks release the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX, so my question will be : It is worth it to wait and buy the Evolv ATX over the Enthoo Pro? What's the differences between both? Thanks for your replies

Hey guys, i have been looking into many different tech stuff for a while and i have an idea about what i want to build. i'm planning on doing the actual build this november (for my birthday) so i have quite some time for planning. i'm interested in using the phanteks enthoo pro as the case cause it seems like it will be ideal for working space, cable management and air flow, so it seems optimal for a first time builder. let me know if there are better options out there, but many reviews say that the case is awesome. i don't have a real budget but i don't want the pc to cost to much (like not too much over 1000 euros). i'm really not sure weather to get the 20th anniversary pentium or an core i7, so please tell me if the difference between the two is worth the extra 200 euros or if i should just go with overclocking the pentium. so if indeed i decide to overclock the pentium (to like 4 ghz) i was wandering if the stock case fans are enough paired with like the noctua NH-L9i or the cooler master hyper 212 evo (please tell me which one is better) using the msi z97 pc mate mobo. i already own a sapphire radeon r9 270x dual x with 4gb gddr5 graphics card and dual channel 8gb (2x4gb) ram so i won't be needing to buy those. i have no idea what to get as a PSU so please help with that. keep in mind that i might upgrade to 16gb ram in time, and that i do intend to get an optical drive. lastly i was thinking of getting like 1Tb hybrid storage instead of both SSD and HDD cause it would be simpler and this is my first build( i also dunno if to go raid 0 or raid 1 so pls hlep) thanks in advance for helping and sorry for my english what i got so far: Intel Pentium G3258 3.2GHz Dual-Core Processor Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler MSI Z97 PC MATE ATX LGA1150 Motherboard Kingston Fury Red Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory Seagate 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Hybrid Internal Hard Drive Sapphire Radeon R9 270X 4GB Dual-X Video Card Phanteks Enthoo Pro ATX Full Tower Case EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer Microsoft Windows 8.1 OEM (64-bit)

So I made the decision to purchase a Phanteks Enthoo Pro for my first PC build, all in all, I would give this case a 9/10. I had a couple criteria I needed met for my PC case. I wanted the front and top to be open mesh for aesthetic, and maximum airflow. (Wanted a top mounted radiator ) I also needed the case to have the best possible cable management. Needless to say, the Enthoo Pro hit both of these requirements right on the head. One nitpick about the front and top mesh: I do like the way Corsair sets up their front and top mesh on the 780T better for easy removal, where you just push in and the mesh pops out revealing mounting holes and fan filters where as the Enthoo Pro, the whole front and top panel must be pulled off to reveal mounting and fan filters. Minor things, but they would have been nice. The front panel of the enthoo pro does have side vents that allow for extra airflow, but lack a fan filter, i just covered mine with tape. Cable management on the Enthoo Pro is fantastic, putting grommets in all of the appropriate places. This makes for absolute trivial cable routing. The velcro straps and the wire loops also are an absolutely fantastic touch. The Enthoo pro also includes a power supply cover with a grommet in the front for GPU cables if you so choose. Along the top of the motherboard tray there are also additional angular holes for miscellaneous routing. I also really like the removable HDD cages. Removable by a few thumb screws, and the actual hard drive holders are absolutely fantastic 10/10 on HDD cages. The cages also allow for mounting of 2 120MM fans for extra airflow through your case, which I absolutely love. Also there is the removable hard drive cover with the "Phanteks" logo badged on the front of it by the smaller window in the side panel. The outside of the case is gorgeous with cleverly designed 3 areas for your optional 3 1/4" drive bays. They make for a smooth natural aesthetic. Unfortunately the acrylic window on the side panel is absolute trash, and will most likely arrive scratched, and will scratch even when you use a soft cloth to dust it off. Be very careful with it. If your panel does arrive scratched, working with customer service will be very easy given you have the correct materials needed. You will need your purchase invoice, and a picture or 2 of the scratched side panel. When I submitted my inquiry with Phanteks customer service, they responded within 24 hours and I had a new flawless piece of acrylic that same week, free of charge. All in all I give the case a 9/10 for absolutely flawless and diverse design uses, but it loses that 1 point for the lacking quality of acrylic. I give the Customer Support from Phanteks a 10/10 for quick response and a no hassle replacement on the side panel window.

Hello, This is my first post on the forum (yay me). I have been lurking for a few days and thought that maybe some of y'all could give me some helpful suggestions. I am currently using a Cooler Master Elite 430 (got the cheapest/decent looking case I could get) and am looking to upgrade it. I was thinking a Corsair 750D, NZXT Source 530 (friend of mine got this case and it is just a really nice case for the price) or the Phanteks Enthoo Pro/Luxe (saw Linus's review and he was raving about the Pro). The reason I want to upgrade the case is that : 1) Would like to add a Corsair H100i (or an equivalent cooler) 2) Room to actually move around when I am adding/changing components 3) Looks. So currently I am leaning towards the 750D because it looks classy, has plenty of room for fans, cpu cooler, small custom loop, SSD mounting tray on the back, cable management. The thing I have been hearing about the 750D is that it doesn't have enough ventilation in the front where you would install the intake fans, does anyone know of this actually being a problem or more nitpicking? Would love to hear what y'all think and would be open to other suggestions (mainly Full Towers). My components are an i5-2500k (stock), AMD Radeon HD 6950 (looking to upgrade once the 300 series from Radeon comes around) Cooler Master V6 GT, 16GB Corsair Vengeance LP RAM and 2 120GB SSDs, Corsair TX850 (overkill, planned on going for 2x 6950s).

Hey guys, I'm trying to mount 2 Silent Wings 2 on the HDD Cage of my Phanteks Enthoo Pro but unfortunately the push-pins doesn't fit in the 4 holes of the HDD Cage (for 120mm fans) Picture : http://www.ginjfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/DarkWings_09-1024x900.jpg Some of you have already manage to put some Silent Wings on the HDD Cage? Thanks for answer!

When I saw Linusses video on the Phanteks Enthoo Pro i fell in love with it and am planning to use it on my coming new build, which is the first time i'm assembling and building it myself and I'm a little confused about the fancontroller. From what I find, PWM (case) fans have 4 pin connectors and when I read the review of the case over on kitguru, they mentioned it had a PWM fan controller. So I thought, ok, cool, so I need to find myself a couple of 120mm PWM fans. But when I took a closer look on the video and screenshots, I noticed there were only 3 pins present on the hub: Can someone rescue me and tell me what it is I need (and perhaps some suggestions???)

Hi! Do any of you own the Phanteks Enthoo Pro case? If so, I would love to get your opinions on it. From all the videos and reviews I've seen, this seems to be an awesome case. Just wanted to get your opinions as well. Thanks in advance!
