Phanteks Entoo Evolv ATX - (Fitting E-ATX motherboard help)

epc1 · 4 Aug 2017 at 20:01

Hello,

Would I be able to fit Rampage VI Extreme(x299), the new Apex(x299),
or the Zenith Extreme (x399) motherboards in a Phanteks Entoo Evolv ATX case?
According to product manuals I am missing 1.4cm so I wonder if I would
have any trouble?

Thanks

Phanteks sure is seriously faking E-ATX support...
E-ATX standard has 330mm motherboard width so that case simply shouldn't be advertised as E-ATX case.

Looking pictures while fitting motherboard would likely start covering those cable management holes.

It would definitely be too tight I reckon, I've got a standard ATX sized board in mine and it felt just about the right size. The Evolv ATX can support slightly wider than standard ATX but definitely less than full E-ATX as epc1 mentioned.

It would fit but would be tight and the cable management would need to be thought out.

I'm sure there is some pictures online of the old Rampage x99 board in a Evolv ATX. I think it fitted but they needed to feed the 24 power cable through first before fitting the board as the board blocks half of the rubber grommets.

I have a z170x gaming g1 in my evolv atx. Not sure how it compares to the rampage. It fits fine but you couldn't get a larger board in there. Just beware the evolv atx has terrible airflow and cooling but does look good. I had to modify it to get some air through the case.
