Phanteks NV7 is the Case You Need for Gigantic Graphics Cards and Four Radiators

With the new NV7, Phanteks has understood where things are headed with 600 W enthusiast-segment graphics cards, 300 W processors, and motherboards with enormous VRM heatsinks, and decided to craft a case that—with a little thoughtful design, gives you room for gigantic high-end graphics cards with plenty of room for their cabling; as many as four liquid-cooling radiators, large E-ATX motherboards, and plenty of room to spare for DIY liquid-cooling components such as pump-reservoirs and hard tubing.

Available in black and white trims, the Phanteks NV7 has a two-sided glasshouse, with radiator mounts along the top-, bottom, side-, and rear-panels. Three of these can hold 360 mm radiators, while the rear one is good for a 240 mm radiator or a distro-plate like the one shown in the example build below. The PSU bay is located sideways on the top, such that an entire half of the case needn't be partitioned out for it. The case also features some nearly-executed embedded addressable-RGB strips, and includes an ARGB controller.

SOAREVERSORI've got a 4x120 sitting around here I'd love to use again but alas, yet to find a case.
I have the phanteks Enthoo Pro 2. It can fit a 480 up front, 360 at the bottom and a 360 up top. Just make sure the top and bottom are exactly 30mm wide, like the Corsair radiators. Corsair radiators are made by Hardware Labs, so I'm sure their radiators would fit as well.

HazizaNo Tint on the glass? :twitch:
Thank god if they have, as much as I love my Evolx X case they went way overboard on the tinted glass to the point where I could use the glass as sunglasses. Even with all the lights on 100% brightness it still looks dim.

kapone32Look at the bottom in the 2nd pic. What fan spacing do you see?
I don’t actually see proper fan spacing at all and, if I did, it’d be 3 tops ;)

I’m taking Phanteks word for it. Also, look at the first picture. Might just be how the fans are adjusted in the slots but doesn’t look like a fourth fan’ll fit to me. :shrug:

Only preview I could find beyond this PR but they also say 360 max, but they also say 480 on the side? Guess we’ll know when they release specs.

It might support 480’s, see the video above. No product page yet.

This case is essentially the Enthoo Pro 2 reversed, for the most part. As I stated before based on the 2nd photo showing the fan spacing clearly shows support for 3x140s. When you look at the side there is a picture with 4 120mm fans installed in the side panel. Where it would be the reverse of the Pro 2 would be that the top could only support 360 rads. Like the bottom of the Pro 2.

I keep looking at the Enthoo Pro 2 to understand the comparison and am not seeing it. Seems like a ton of retooling was needed and this guy looks taller

Also don’t think a 420 would fit on the side panel due to the PSU and GPU placement. Idk what you’re talking about on the bottom, though — looks like three fans max to me. Maybe a 420 would fit there, but I have my doubts about a 480 :shrug:

They moved the PSU from the bottom to the top. It removed support for the 2nd ITX PC but now you can put 2 120s in that space. Then they recessed the MB tray but moved tray down as well vs the Enthoo 2.

It seems taller because there is no PSU shroud.
