Phanteks Evolv ATX - An Update

D1craig · 12 May 2015 at 17:08

can an ATX board ie. ASUS P8Z68. fit into the evolv mini atx?

i really want on of them but cant justify the upgrade/sidegrade for components to go in it so want to stick what i have this ugly beast into one.

the specs say it is only slightly smaller than what i have now...

No, the Evolv mATX only has 4 PCI slots so no ATX boards will fit, only mATX or mini ITX.

Would you choose and Evolve ATX over a Luxe? If so why?

Apem · 22 May 2015 at 10:54

Be smaller than luxe wouldnt it?

I'd imagine it would be smaller, think Luxe is more geared towards WC than the Evolv. I guess the dimensions won't increase hugely to accommodate the ATX board.

I'm under NDA unfortunately. We have one of only 2 mass production units in the world at OCUK Towers. All I can say is that it's a phenomenal case and you will all want one. I'll do my best to try and put a few cheeky pics up before the NDA lifts, no promises though

colinmcr · 24 May 2015 at 20:23

Can you tell us when then NDA will be lifted?

Isn't that part of an NDA; that you're not allowed to disclose when its lifted...?

colinmcr · 24 May 2015 at 22:36

I've seen previously NDA will be lifted x time on x day, but yeah its not always the case (no pun intended)

HiTechLegion uploaded an overview of the case. Looks excellent.

Pre-ordered a Gunmetal version.

I guess I'll just tack any info onto the current Evolv thread.

Does look good.

The only issue I see is that the space for rads at the top is limited, see how low a thin rad and a set of fans sits, it's over the ram. Unless you can fit a set of fans inside the roof above the rad tray? On the Evolv mATX you can't, there's not enough room for normal thickness fans, there's more room in the roof on the ATX model but then you wouldn't be able to slide the rad tray out.

I'm looking at the manual and I can't see the table it says to check thickness depending on setup. I was thinking something like ST30 would be ok might get away with 45 in the top.

I was thinking of a whole new water cooling build, going with the corsair 540. But this.. this might look like a better option!

What is the front intakes dimensions?

EDIT: Found on the website, d'ooh.

This looks promising!
