*** Phanteks EVOLV Owners Thread ***

The standard EATX size is 305 x 330 mm

From the spec sheet the EVOLV ATX Motherboard support: E-ATX *(up to 264mm wide) correct.

However I see a few X99 boards that quote EATX but measure 305x264.

Now I've just found on specout that is says the Professional is 10.40" x 12" which in real money is 264x305 :D So yes it should fit.

See here http://motherboards.specout.com/l/4090/Asrock-Fatal1ty-X99-Professional

Hope that helps and you can feel confident in your purchase now :)

The Phanteks Rep is watching, don't worry I'm sure reports will be going back to HQ. He is very friendly and is doing me some favours which is great because he liked my Midas build. I'll drop him a line and ask about our feedback if you like guys.

Maybe I could make a list of revisions they could consider in post #2 ?

I've added this to post #2 if you want additions please let me know. If you feel the text needs editing then feel free to give some constructive criticism. :)

1) Consider improving the airflow via the front panel.
2) Consider revised/additional placement for motherboard 24pin cable gromit.

That's great news. I can't wait to show you what they send me even though I had no rma issue, just because I asked if I could have it. ;)

What are everyone's experiences with wc rads. Is a 360 + 240 the max you can get away with without being stupidly tight?

Yes it certainly appears that way in most options. I'd like to compile a list of rad combos that work for Post #2.
So please list the specs of the rads you guys are using so I can make a list for new owners to refer to :D
 
I did a test build this morning, I'm not happy with the small gap at the bottom for your motherboard cabling (power+hdd+usb) The cutouts need to be deeper into the case I just barely squeezed my usb connector for front panel through the gap without damaging nearby pins on the MB.
I think the case could do with being a bit taller for sure just to give more space around the MB, particularly at the bottom.

USB connector on the left is tight fit through the gap, had to force down the psu cover.

Some shot from my test build, just wanted to get a feel for the case.

I get cpu fan error even though the cpu fan spins up straight away and I have to go in and out of bios to continue to boot. Tried setting cpu fan monitoring to ignore but this doesn't make any difference. Any ideas?

Was so close to buying this case when it was released but work came up and I just don’t have the time to do my first WC build, plus the PC is going to be moved about a reasonable amount over the next 12 - 18 months so not really the best environment.

I still want this case though so I’m wondering how good the air cooling is? Bearing in mind it will have to cope with a 4790k and one (possibly a second later on) 980ti.

Maybe something like the corsair 750 may be a better option for now (and still a great case from the looks of it), can get the AF variation now and buy the front panel later on which will allow me to put in a good loop when the time finally arrives…

…But I still want this case.

Have a look at some of the reviews in OP, they will give you a good idea of the cooling performance. Its a fantastic looking case for sure.
 
What cooler is that SouthEastBlue? Oh I've added you to the RoH in OP also ;)

Update on mine: Well I'm waiting on a cpu block from Diamond Cooling to be fabricated, I've been in discussion with Pexon for a set of sleeved cables for my EVGA P2. Will be buying some watercooling bits soon.
The reservoir is a tough one, may use the hdd bay or something else.....
