Review on Phanteks PH EC416PTG_BK Eclipse Steel Tempered by Adam Townsend

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This case is quite outstanding. It comes with dust filters for .

This case is excellent. It comes with dust filters on the air intakes. The case comes with an LED magnetic strip that can change colors along with the power button ring and backlight. It all connects to a 12v sata connector so you can control it with just a switch on the case. It can work in static mode, "breathing mode" and color cycle (rainbow). It doesn't have room for a heatsink if you use a thicker heatsink and fan. It ONLY fits ML140 in the top hole with ASUS Z270E Strix Mobo. The fans force you to plug the 8-pin CPU power connector around them, and they sit on top of the mobo's heat spreader. The good thing is that the heat spreader is routed top to bottom, which helps a little. Airflow is great, and the built-in ports on top are pretty handy. It features Velcro straps integrated into the inside of the back of the case for cable management. The cables included in the scope of delivery are pre-assembled for you. Two SSD brackets are located on the back of the motherboard mounting area. There is a large opening on the back of the processor, which makes it very easy to install an already installed cooling system inside the case.

Pros
  • The best in its niche
Cons
  • Everything in order
