How compatible is this case for watercooling?

vflozoya726 · May 22, 2018

I want to do a hardtube watercooled pc build. At first the thermaltake view 71 was what I was going for. Despite being perfect for watercooling, there’s several things that i disliked. I didn’t like the fact that it didn’t have a psu shroud, the way the tempered panels look, and it looks too big and I’m going for a minimalist look more or less.

After more research, I found the Phanteks Evolv ATX Tempered and knew it was the perfect case for me, however I’m not sure how compatible with my components as well as water cooling.

I want to put a 360mm rad on top for exhaust, and a 360mm rad on the front for intake as well as the reservoir pump. It’s also going to have to gpus. Would this case fit all that?

Thank you everyone for your time!

You have to, and must, take a very close look at all of the specifications.

Not only at what is said but what is "not said".

Words such as "compatible" or "fits all" are (to me) warning flags.

Check the product's forums and FAQ's very carefully. See what other people are asking about and commenting on.

Be skeptical of the questions and even more so with respect to the answers provided.

No product is perfect and if you do not see any complaints or reasonable questions/concerns then be fore-warned.

The key is to look for, and find, independent product reviews from professional reviewer's and verified purchaser's. Still remain skeptical.....

Keep copies of everything. If the case you select does not work out then RMA. But be able to support why the case is being returned.

They may say it "fits" but the circumstances of "fitting" may be very narrow.

This case would more than likely work for what you want to do, but it really depends on your components. You're going to have to do the math to make sure all of your components fit first. I would say that you'd probably fit all of the components, but it'll be a tight squeeze. Are you water cooling the GPUs?

As far as your custom loop, why are you putting in dual rads? You won't see a performance boost in using dual rads, not that I know of anyway.
