PHANTEKS EVOLV X & P600S

Will be putting a alphacool 360 x flow don't know how thick it will be and will be using one set of fans.
For me the Evolv X is unique in that it offers the flexibility to do things previously unheard of at this price point, for example dual system with enough storage options for say a FreeNAS build or a second system with a discrete GPU, amazing Watercooling support, and the best cable management in a the price segment.
It offers a built in Fan hub with support for 8 fans and dRGB, either using Phanteks dRGB ecosystem or the ones supported by major motherboard manufacturers.
Is the Evolv X for everyone, clearly not, but its redefined what is possible in a £200 case for those who are willing to spend £200 on a case.
Out of interest what would need that much cooling? Are you doing multi-GPU?
I do have an overclocked dual GPU setup but even so current setup does ok off a 360mm and a 140mm.
I basically want to squeeze as much rad in as possible so that even with fans running slow the delta T remains lower under load. With the 360/140 when running games or rendering the fans still have to ramp up more than I’d like to keep the loop below 45-50 degrees. Ideally I’d achieve the same temps with 800rpm as I achieve now with 1500rpm.
Can never really have too much radiator area, as long as it all fits and doesn’t impede airflow.

I'm currently using 2 x 240 HWL GTS and i also have a spare 280GTS in the parts bin but I've picked up a secondhand HWL 360 GTX which i may just put in the top and have 3x120/140mm fans in the front pulling in air without the added resistance/added heat of passing through a radiator first. Its a single CPU/GPU loop so a thick 360 rad will be fine.
I currently have only one rad 360 40mm, (1 gpu) and have to run my fans at 1400 to have decent temps. At this level to me it is a hairdryer
that's why I'm planning to add another slimmer rad, not to have better temps but like Zeeflyboy, to slow down fan speeds 1000rpm max.

Can't quite believe I've done this, but I've cancelled my pre-order. I've slowly been moving my stuff into a home server rack, and have decided to carry on with this process. I have the AF edition, so couldn't justify this too.

Great review from Kitguru, earning both their 'MUST HAVE' award and the 'best case of 2018 (so far!)' accolade to boot. You'll be happy to see that the CPU/GPU temps are much more reasonable than the HWC review, and clearly the Evolv X performs much better thermally than it's predecessor.

I’m regretting cancelling my pre-order.

Sorry your on the hit list now,once you go phantek you never go back
They may still have some left if you really want one bud.

There's nothing stopping you ordering again
We have a few left on each colour from the first batch
Soldato
Do it!!

Unfortunately, as with anything that is hotly anticipated, there is a slight delay with the arrival of the first batch of Evolv X. We are currently looking at a 14/09/18 arrival date, although we are working on getting this a little earlier. There has been some delays in transit at sea due to bad weather which means the arrival date has been pushed back at port. I'll keep you updated.

It had to happen thanks for the heads up mate.
