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.

    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.

    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!

    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 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 😍 🤩 👌

    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.

    @w4cky7 8 місяців тому +1

    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.
