Phanteks Enthoo Primo

Darksaber · Aug 21, 2013

Phanteks is entering the case market with the Enthoo Primo. The case, clearly aimed at high-end users with a fetish for liquid cooling, is not here to take prisoners. Instead, it aims to throw a grenade into the party to establish the Phanteks brand as a serious choice when it comes to cases.

Thanks for the review. Very interesting case.

Just wanted to check on the vertical cover/reservoir mount. It won't interfere with longer graphics cards?

Looks like it might and thought I read that elsewhere.

Hi dude, actually added the part about the graphics card length in the review

Next

I waited for this case and then I decided to go ahead and modify my Fractal DD XL R2. The review is awesome and I like how you pointed out that the use of the cable cover and res mount will interfere with long graphics card. That is a no no to me. Also, the door open to the right? Come on, they could have changed that too as it is a reason (apart from wanting to fit 2 x 360 mm rads) that I am modifying my Fractal case. I hope that they fix those issues with their future releases.

I haven't measured it out against typical card lengths, but I don't see it as a huge knock on the case.

The part can be cut or removed altogether. So many other good features.

Thanks for the review!
Hope Phanteks gets mine to me soon. Not sure what the timeline is now.

Great review :toast:

That's a pretty awesome case with lots of accessories, btw it's either me or the back shot in "Finished Looks" is corrupted :wtf:
