Review on Phanteks PH EC500ATG_DBK01 Full Metal Mid Tower Digital RGB by Karthikeyan Behm

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Amazing airflow and features

I was looking for an affordable case with a front USB-C port, tempered glass and multiple RGB fans. It ticked all the boxes. The build quality is really good for the price. There is plenty of room for mounting and possible cable runs. The supplied Velcro control on the back is impressive. One of the coolest features is the minimal offset of the motherboard stand. This allows enough room at the top for the heatsinks without blocking or interfering with anything on the motherboard. Another thing I wasn't expecting is how good this airflow is. I have a Corsair H60i for my Ryzen 3600XT. Without reapplying paste, my gaming temperature dropped about 10C thanks to better airflow directed at the components. Pros: airflow, price, features, cable management, included RGB fans, tempered glass I think the price is ok. A reset switch on the front would be nice, but that doesn't detract from the rating. Due to the perfection of this case for my needs, Phanteks will be the first manufacturer I consider for my next upgrade.
