Review on Phanteks PH EC500ATG_DBK01 Full Metal Mid Tower Digital RGB by Darren Pham

Revainrating 5 out of 5

One of the best! for computers and accessories

Great case, big improvement in airflow and size compared to my NZXT H500. Simple and clean design and worth the price. BUT, there is actually a problem I have with this case. Fans are not PWM. I went through the entire manual and assumed they were SK140 DRGB fans since Phanteks doesn't sell non-PWM RGB fans on their website. I've searched all over the internet to find out which fans those were (because I was lazy and didn't want to look at the model number on the backs of real fans lol). It was only when I went through Revain's questions section and saw the other reviews that I got confirmation that these were indeed NOT PWM fans (I also realized that they weren't the case when I went into my BIOS to mess with the fan settings playing around and realized that when I switched them to PWM, the fans ran 100% in silent mode). If Phanteks took even $150 for this case, then added even $160 and 140 SK. it would just be 10/10. instead it's a 9/10 (which is still a five, but it's just not perfect lol). I highly recommend this case, but you'll probably need to replace the fans if you want true silence. Also, you have an almost perfect case.

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • So far so good
