Hi,

Where can i see the Build LOG?

How did you do the sidepanel?

 

[.:SAmSuNG:.]

Sorry mate. The side panel was cut and then a new window inlaid into it like the original one. All does on CNC.

nice build.. this setup for my next set up inspiration..

************************************
hehe my humble setup..

 

[trawetSluaP]

Easily the best case I've owned, love it!

 

[Minibiker]

I need some advice from you lovely people...

This is a list of my parts, i just want to know if it will all fit in this case...

GPU: MSI R9 380
MOBO: Asus Z170P
PSU: Superflower 650w
HDD: 1TB
SSD: Hyper X 240GB


I have a standard intel CPU cooler at the mo as it came fixed to the CPU and Mobo when i bought it but i have a Raijintek cooler, However May watercool it soon enough

 

[.:SAmSuNG:.]

Depends what size case u bought.

 

[Artery]

Wire management sucks at the back of the case, needs addressing.

Plan is to fit a custom loop but undecided whether to get a second 980ti or just wait for the 1080ti.

Very nice job Samsung, your build looks fantastic.
What temperatures do you get with this setup?

 

[.:SAmSuNG:.]

Thanks.

4790k delidded at 4.9Ghz idles mid 30s and underload encoding a video gets up to high 70's. Gaming is more like 60c.

GPU's idle mid 30s to around mid 50c under load.

Thats with fans kept quite low and pthe pump turned down abit as dont I want it too loud.


Would really like a tempered glass side panel but struggling to figure out how to go about it. Mounting it shouldnt be too hard its making the thing.

Any ideas?

New owner checking in, all being well my case should arrive tomorrow depending on Mr DPD man.

This should be a huge improvement over my Corsair 650D.

 

[dshalky]

modded the top of my EVOLVE. temps around 30`s, gaming 50`s, with a radiator 360 on top and a 240 on front.

I'm thinking about a new case and was wondering what your thoughts are on this one after owning it and building in it?

Build Quality?
Air cooling performance?
Accessibility?

Feels well built but i do get some panel vibration sometimes but my pump is mounted in a less than ideal place so thats partly to blame.

Air cooling performance?

The top panel is restrictive but can be modded to improve that alittle.

Accessibility?

Do you mean how easy is it to work in? If so it totally depends what your planning to build into it. If its just a single GPU all on air its perfectly simple.

Does anyone know if you can buy the rgb power button from the tempered glass version of the evolv atx, separately? Was thinking of adding it to the normal evolv atx if you can.

 

[Jon20]

Emailed Phanteks support and they don't have the power button available at the moment. Unless there's a Phanteks rep on here who knows any different?

 

[Artery]

Finally got around to fitting the custom loop.

 

[.:SAmSuNG:.]

Looks good mate. Seems it wasnt easy going from the CPU to Mosfets with the rad so close.

 

[Artery]

Yeah that was pretty tricky but managed to pull it off. As well as the 2 90 degree fittings, I used a 90 degree connection and had to get a bend that was less than 2 inches long (obviously just bent a longer piece and trimmed down). It just wasn't working when I tried to do it from cpu block to mosfet.

When I did my leak test the fitting on the mosfet was the only one that had any trouble, good job I had the paper towels down. It only needed tightening a little bit though so alls good.

 

[trawetSluaP]

Well I found my first fault with the case... The X99A Titanium won't fit in it

According to the Phanteks the Mobo can be up to 264mm wide and the X99A Titanium is 272mm.
