Phanteks EX5 Max | PC Case Reimagined - A restart for the Industry? | Chill #asmr PC Build

Phanteks takes a very different route with the EX5 Max. Instead of putting everything into one open chamber, the case separates the main hardware into dedicated sections and gives each area its own airflow path. The Max version comes with the 360S25-SE already integrated, hides the AIO tubing inside the chassis and adds a 6-inch LCD. For this build I paired it with a Ryzen 7 9850X3D and PNY RTX 5080 EPIC-X RGB, plus Sapphire’s NITRO+ B850A WiFi 7, 32GB XPG LANCER NEON RGB and a 4TB Biwin Black Opal X570 PRO Gen5 SSD. — 𝐄𝐗𝟓 𝐌𝐚𝐱 — 🧊 The compartment layout is the main story here: the GPU gets its own showcase section, while a rear 120mm fan feeds fresh air across the motherboard, VRM, RAM and M.2 area. Heat from the CPU get's pushed out thru the 360mm Radiator via 3x120mm ARGB Fsns. The integrated 360mm AIO keeps its tubing concealed inside the chassis, and the 6-inch display handles system monitoring and custom visuals through NexLinq. — Shopping links — 🔗 Phanteks EX5 (Max) Caseking Pre-Order offer for Europe: https://bit.ly/4hghBBC Newegg US: https://cutt.ly/EylPKpNv Amazon.com (Base Version): https://amzn.to/4xeC1jg Phanteks AMP GH 1000W: Amazon.com: https://amzn.to/46LZU6R Phanteks NexLinq Hub: https://amzn.to/4qY3P9X AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D: https://amzn.to/4cCFGQx PNY GeForce RTX 5080 EPIC-X RGB: https://amzn.to/3Vljd4r Sapphire NITRO+ B850A WiFi 7: https://www.sapphiretech.com/en/consu...
