Phanteks enthoo evolv to a Phanteks p600s

Hi all I am looking at changing my current computer case which is a Phanteks enthoo evolv to a Phanteks p600s. The main reason I want to change is due to the poor air flow the first edition enthoo evolv has.

I have tried to rectify some of the air flow problems by always gaming with the front panel off, removing all the pci slots and moving one of the front intake fans higher.

I have changed my cpu cooler to a Noctua nh d15 because my corsair aio was loud and didn't really do a good enough job at cooling. Is the p600s a nice case? I like the look of it and I will use it in max air flow mode.

Are there other cases I should look at for maximum airflow and to be quiet if possible in the £135 price range. Thanks

The p500a looks like a nice case and it sounds like it will be priced similarly.

I ordered the p600s earlier and it will be here tomorrow woo. I like my evolv case but its annoying having to take the front panel off so it can get better airflow.

The evolv x looks like it has improved most of the issues the first evolv had but the p600s is cheaper and will have better airflow.

Had the older evolv and now have the x the airflow is great in this all the problems the old one had is fixed along with cable management is now a dream to use.

I bought the p600s and swapped the cases over the other day. I love the p600s so much. It was a joy to build in. I've left the case fans at full speed and put a custom curve on the cpu, with the front panel off I'm only hitting 70 degrees when playing games compared to 80s on the evolv. Definitely recommend the p600s to anyone wanting a new case.

P600s does look like a really good case for the money though they don't really do themselves any favours by showing the closed configuration as the default look on web listings. Though maybe that is better for marketing and sales...

Some irony that the P600s has the same thing

Haha yeah. But even with the front panel on the temps are way better. It's a huge improvement over the original evolv
