Phanteks evolv shift
The best itx case that had potential but they didnt made it right .

The gap between the front aluminioum panel and the case is 20mm , which means the noctua 15mm fans would be SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET to be put there . IF ONLY the panel had ventalation

100% It's soo annoying phanteks even showed off those mesh panels they were working on at computex last year, but have since scrapped them. They would've FIXED EVERYTHING!

So I went down a similar path. Dual AIO's because I thought that was my only option in this case to keep the 8700k and 2080ti cool... Only to discover how much the front sucks with ventilation... so I just got the front cut to allow for ventilation. The dude left a little scratch in the top right, but oh well.

I'm wondering, can I go push pull with a slim fan on the front now? Is there enough space for a fan and the front panel? Has anyone tried this?

Shift X Watercooled

Finally got around to watercooling my build that started off in post #6 https://www.overclock.net/forum/50-...v-shift-shift-x-owners-club.html#post26398028

Changed only a few things like adding an extra 1TB m.2 Samsung 970 Evo, removed all the 2.5" SSDs and upgraded the GPU to a 2080Ti. All the rest is the same as in the original post. Watercooling parts are all EK other than the rads which are HWL GTS (240mm+120mm) and the GPU block which is the Phantheks Glacier Strix 2080Ti. I did a few nice custom bales to connect the pump and the fan splitter and sleeved everything else other than the PSU cable set which was made by To-The-Wire.


This is my first hardline build and I had a strict deadline of 3 days to complete it - so things aren't 'prefect'. Unfortunately, when I first replaced the distilled water in the loop which I was running for a couple of days with a premixed clear coolant I had a bit of a disaster and the coolant foamed up and really messed up the loop. I've since flushed it with loads and loads of distilled water as I had no time to take the loop apart and deep clean every component (which is what is really required) so please excuse the slight staining in the blocks, res and tubes.

P.S. OS is Manjaro Linux

Does anyone know if you can mount either 120 or 140mm phantek halo's to the front of the case is there enough space? what about a dust filter as well? I just had the hexagons cut into the case and next step is controlling the dust and maybe having some light shine through those holes

I was able to fit one on the bottom but the motherboard tray is too offset to the front to fit another in the top position. If you use slim fans it should fit.

Hi guys

I just finished build the evolv shift (non X) with an AIO Cooler, the temp idle at 33C-37C for CPU (Intel I5 8400) and GPU 35C (AMD Radeon 570) with fans facing motherboard, should i be okay with this temp after several hours streaming youtube, browsing, still the same, haven't try gaming tho, havent install any game yet only free version of 3D mark with score around 4100, both CPU and GPU went to 40-50C and back to normal 35C

Thanks

Hello guys,

I have a question regarding GPU Thickness with the Phanteks Shift. I own a Sapphire Vega 64 Nitro+, which is a Triple-Slot-Card (54 mm). The Nitro+ Cooler is one of the best GPU Coolers out there, so i figure the GPU won't die a horrible heat death. However, can someone confirm that the GPU will actually fit into the GPU bracket? Phanteks doesn't specify max thickness in their Manual.

Best Regards.

I’m afraid it will not. If you look at the first posts here, some of us has problems fitting a Strix 1080Ti which is 2.5 slots. I’ve recently tried a Strix 2080Ti (which is 2.75 I believe?) and there is no way it would fit in the bracket without modding. You could however cut off a bit of the bracket and probably make it fit..

Yes, 2080 Ti Strip seems to be same 54mm as the Nitro+ is. Which part of the GPU bracket do you mean? Supposing i install the Card with the backplate facing outside - as shown in the manual - do you mean i'd have to cut the part i have marked in the Screenshot?

Still working on this damn case. It's such a love/hate relationship at this point lol.
Also planning on testing a fully negative fan configuration with a lot of stuff taken out to remove airflow.

Phanteks Evolv Shift AIR is coming:

https://www.reddit.com/r/sffpc/comments/but9up/phanteks_evolv_shift_air/


I dont like it.

 

[archaon_archi]

I don't find it bad, it looks neat. But I don't think it solves anything. If I just take off the tempered glass from the case, the temperature of the GPU and CPU is still high. Taking off the front panel helps much more. The only thing I've not tested is to make all fans outtake, which could be possible without the tempered glass panels.
I've got this case for more than a year, and I'm seriously thinking about getting rid of it and getting another case. I'd get the Ncase, but it looks like a mess to set it up with dual 120mm AIO.

Stupid Idea: Phanteks Evolv Shift X AIO Stacking?

This might be a stupid idea but I'm curious:
Instead of using dual AIO: Front 240mm(CPU) + Bottom 120mm(GPU), is it possible to stack radiators?

The bottom compartment layout I imagine is that:
Rear Panel - PSU - 2x140 Fan - 280 Rad(GPU) - 2x140 Fan - 280 Rad(CPU) - 2x140 Fan - Front Panel

Is the thermals going to be worse than 120+240?
I understand that radiator stacking is not a good idea in general, but since we are stacking two 280mm Radiators, is it still worse than 120mm + 240mm in the traditional layout?

Hehe i thought about the same idea.

They are still producing new accessory (despite the bad sales) : PH217XE-SDB

Hi All,

Thought I'd throw up some progress pictures of my shift build. Really only waiting on hardline fitting/tubing now. Looking forward to see if this setup works, I'm coming from AIO cpu and air-cooled 2060 strix, cpu was fine but gpu would eventually choke.

This is a HTPC/gaming rig for the lounge and sits horizontal on a shelf, I'm pulling air in through the I/O side and pushing it down the front panel (sealed up the mesh and chassis holes) and into the 1st rad, then ducting the warm air into the second rad and out the bottom via the 2nd 140mm static fan. The "hope" is the cool air and removal of hot air within the case will offset the warm air the second rad receives and maintain a decent loop temp. Toying with the idea of adding a cutout for a slim 120mm where the 3.5" drive sits but will wait to see how it runs, hoping to have one 140mm idling through netflix sessions.

Specs;
2700x
b450 strix
zotac 2070 mini
silverstone psu
2x140 nf-a14
m.2 slots full
alpha-cool rads, gpu block, solo pump/cpu and fittings
printed duct and a low-profile 120 to 140 adapter for the bottom fan.

Will post completed photos and hopefully some decent thermals both stock and oc.

Edit: the 3D image it the latest concept, the 2nd picture was the 1st, using the full length strix that required a notch in the duct, it could have worked with a custom riser cable but in the end it just made life easier upgrading to the mini.

Cheers

Hi. i have shift x for sale + be quiet sfx-l 600 gold psu with it. If any1 interested let me know. giving oem led strip with it.

Would exchange for other SFF ITX case ( DA2, Ncase etc )

More pictures, pls.
Where can i buy?

Hey guys, I'm in a bit of a pickle and would be thankful for help. My motherboard still hasn't arrived, so I can't check this myself for couple of weeks more.

If you rotate the GPU bracket how fan on the rail can it go, can it actually reach the end on the left?


Image from the interwebz. The reason I'm asking is that I have a pretty wide GPU - Aorus 1080 TI. It is under a water block so thickness is a non-issue, but width is pretty questionable. The GPU in the photo is a reference design which is about 30mm narrower.

Thanks in advance!

 

[tubbed]

Couple of measurements for you, it can go passed the fan (for example) if you have a long enough riser cable.

Cheers

Hi, maybe can you share the 3d file, wanna try it (I have a 3d printer) thanks in advance.

Custom mesh panels

I had some heat issues, take some wood and mesh fabric, it help a lot and visuals its ok. I was waiting for the official part from Phanteks but I didnt see it yet, so.
