Test System: Processor: AMD RyMotherboard: Asus Prime X370-Pro CPU cooler: Noctua NH-U12S Memory: G.Skill FlareX DDR4-3200MHz RAM Graphics card: GeForce GTX980 4GB Power supply: Sea Sonic Prime Titanium 750W Storage drive: Samsung SM961 SSD OS: Windows 10 Professional. This system allows us to produce a substantial amount of heat and effectively test the Phanteks Eclipse P300’s cooling capabilities.įor stress testing we use AIDA64 to create the maximum amount of load our CPU and GPU are ever likely to see. To put this case through its cooling paces we will be using a test system consisting of an AMD Ryzen 7 1700, GTX 980 graphics and an SSD.

We also found the chunky, high quality cables used by Sea Sonic were a tight fit passing through the cable management holes, despite the fact the holes have no grommets. We found it easiest to remove the two drive bays and their supporting brackets to open up the front section of the case. Our chosen Sea Sonic Prime Titanium 750W uses a modular design that proved a tight fit in the lower compartment of the case.

#Phanteks halo reddit install#
If you choose to install an air cooler on your CPU, rather than an All In One which has fans on the radiator then you will probably want to install another fan at the front of the case.īuilding our test PC was relatively straightforward however there were a few factors to consider. It is worth mentioning that you get a single rear 120mm fan, which is standard practice in a budget case. For example you get a single SSD Drop ‘n Lock mount and if you want extensive RGB lighting you need to invest in a Phanteks LED strip and perhaps a Halos illuminated fan frame or two. Phanteks has also cut costs by supplying a case with a sensible minimum level specification, rather than all the bells and whistles. Balanced against that, if you prefer a removable power supply cover you are out of luck. The structure of the core chassis is rigid and doesn’t move around when the panels are removed and the bill of materials is reduced, which makes the P300 cheaper. To the best of our knowledge this is the first time a case manufacturer has taken this approach and it makes a good deal of sense. As we say in our video, part of the explanation is that Phanteks has manufactured the main part of the chassis from a single sheet of steel, instead of adding a power supply cover as a separate part as they did with the P400. While it is true the £55 P300 isn’t much cheaper than the £65 P400, once you take VAT, shipping and packaging costs out of the equation, that £10 represents a significant percentage of the cost of manufacture. Dimensions: 450mm H x 400mm D x 230mm W.140mm radiator mounts: 140mm/280mm front.120mm radiator mounts: 120mm/240mm front, 120mm rear.
