Phanteks EX5 MAX High Airflow ATX Chamber Case with 360 AIO - Satin Black
The Phanteks EX5 MAX is an innovative mid-tower ATX case that departs from traditional box designs. Its unique compartmentalised layout separates the motherboard, GPU, and PSU into individual chambers, each receiving direct cooling and minimising the need for additional case fans.
Key Features
- Compartmentalised Chassis Design – Houses the motherboard, full-sized GPU, and PSU in separate chambers for direct, component-specific cooling.
- Pre-installed 360mm AIO Cooler – Features a 6" LCD screen on the pump cap and three 120mm S25 fans for efficient CPU cooling.
- Minimal Fan Requirements – Optimised airflow paths require as few as four 120mm fans for complete system cooling.
- Broad Compatibility – Supports Mini-ITX to ATX motherboards and graphics cards up to 358mm in length.
- Robust GPU Protection – The dedicated GPU chamber with aluminium and tempered glass construction securely mounts and shields your graphics card.
- Integrated ARGB Lighting – Includes lighting strips in the PSU and AIO chambers for system illumination.
- Clean Build Aesthetic – Design conceals cables and AIO tubing for a tidy appearance, with ample cable management space at the rear.
Thermal Design & Cooling
The EX5 MAX's chambered structure is engineered for superior thermal performance with fewer fans. Fresh air is directed specifically to each chamber: the motherboard chamber benefits from a dedicated rear fan and the AIO's side-mounted radiator fans, while the GPU and PSU chambers feature their own porous mesh panels for direct intake. This isolated cooling approach prevents component heat from mixing.
Front I/O
Connectivity includes a front panel with USB ports and an audio jack for convenient access.
