Phanteks Brings Showcases Stunning EX Series Cases, AMP Series PSUs and Fans, and Enthoo Elite Server Full-tower

Phanteks at the 2026 Computex showcased the stunning the EX series of PC cases that feature an extruded, compartmentalized, and modular-looking layout. The foundational feature of the EX-Series is its ability to deliver fresh, non-recirculated air directly to major heat-generating components, including the CPU, GPU, and PSU. A strategically positioned side-mounted cooling system specifically targets the motherboard, VRMs, and M.2 storage, which ensures maximum thermal efficiency without the need for numerous traditional case fans. The EX6 serves as the flagship lineup.

Expected in a Stone Gray finish by September, the standard EX6 is priced at $159.99. The top-tier EX6 MAX variant, priced at $329.99, heavily upgrades the hardware experience with premium X30 fans, a custom 90-degree AIO liquid cooler, and an integrated 10-inch (1600 x 720) LCD. It also features an integrated Nexlinq controller for advanced smart lighting and system monitoring. The EX5 models bring the EX6's core thermal architecture to a more accessible price point by utilizing a steel frame construction. Expected in August as a Black variant, the base EX5 starts at $109.99. The lineup offers two expanded tiers: the EX5 PLUS ($159.99), which adds an integrated custom AIO with 90-degree tubing management, and the top-tier EX5 MAX ($229.99), which includes all PLUS features alongside an integrated 6-inch LCD.
At Computex, the company also debuted its Enthoo Elite series cases for tower-type servers and workstations, bringing back the Enthoo brand that kickstarted Phanteks as a leading case vendor. The Enthoo Elite Server offers massive hardware scalability, including SSI-EEB motherboard support, dual PSU compatibility, and a dedicated workstation/server-ready interior layout. Designed for high-density and extensive storage configurations, the case also features an impressive 12 PCI slot layout and optional wheel support to assist with system mobility. For extreme thermal demands, it incredibly supports up to twenty-nine (!) 120 mm fan positions.
The XT Series features compact ATX designs that support 360 mm top radiators and large GPUs. They come equipped with pre-installed S25 ARGB fans. There are three models shown, XT M5 ($69.99) features a full-mesh, high-airflow front panel and supports up to ten 120 mm fans. XT V5 ($69.99) Offers a panoramic tempered glass presentation with a triple bottom fan layout dedicated to direct GPU cooling. XT V5-LCD ($109.99) Expands on the V5 by integrating a 7-inch LCD powered via the Nexlinq ecosystem for real-time monitoring.
The S26 series of fans come in single-units, and compound fans of 240 × 120 mm and 360 × 120 mm. Operating up to 2000 RPM, these Nexlinq-compatible fans feature integrated ARGB lighting and come in regular or reverse airflow models optimized for radiators and heatsinks.
Winding things up, are the AMP GN series high-end PSUs, which come in output Wattage of 1200 W, featuring 80 Plus Platinum efficiency, 120 mm hydraulic bearing fans, fully modular cabling with a dual-colored 12V-2x6 connector, and RGB lighting that supports Nexlinq interface that provides real-time monitoring of the PSU's runtime stats, along with RGB and fan control.

What would happen if you cut out all the empty space in a case, you get an EX6...
But the temps will be anything but great.

Grats to Phanteks for their work on the EX5 and EX6. They better come with wall mounting options though.

This case seems like one of the biggest wastes of R&D $$$ to ever happen in the PC space. Xzibit gonna finally have a PC case(s) he wants though!

Practical or not, this EX compartmental layout does look pretty neat. I'd like to see how the GPU and CPU temps play out vs the standard case layout.

Personally, I like seeing my system components in full view through the glass panel. Even if its an old-school typical/boring tower case. Theres just something satisfying about having the entire build on display.

What makes you think its going to overheat? It has a air on the bottom and exhaust out the top. I think this is fantastic design and I can't wait for Gamer's Nexus to test this case.

Tight pinhole design is terrible for airflow.



(#1) There is more metal than holes. All that surface area that you may think is 'open to airflow', is +50% metal. Considering the examples below, I'm guessing the porosity of the GPU chamber is between yellow (23%) and green (33%).

(#2) The smaller the holes, the greater the static resistance. So whatever air does try to flow in or out, it will resist.

(#3) There is no directional airflow within the GPU chamber. Yes, the GPU fans are closer to the bottom and pushing air through the heatsink. And hot air rises. But given the above points, a significant amount of air will just recirculate within the chamber.

Gamers Nexus has covered this topic. But their testing is about a fan forced to pull air through difference pinholes. This Phanteks chassis is a totally different scenario, and from my office chair, I think it's fundamentally flawed :pimp:

But yes, I also look forward to them testing it out!

These look awesome, like a modern take on the original Level 10 design.
