mITZ Build

[Witchee]

Built this mITX system for a client.
I had a lot of input on the build and recommend the Evolv ITX case.
I have to say it is a great little case. However the radiator rack on the top seem to put everything to low and if I snuck the fans on top of it airflow would have been an issue. That being said I did end up modding the case just a little

Very nicely done!
What are the temps and noise levels like?

[Witchee]

Thank you

Here are load temps at 4.7, at these settings it is silent, if I bump it up to 4.8 you can start to here the fans spin up a bit, by no means ridiculous though. At 5.0 it becomes what I would consider too loud

Good performance and temps for such a small case.
Not much room for bigger radiators. I suppose a thicker one could be used in top,but front looks full.

[Witchee]

yea, would not want to go much thicker up top, if so I would have had to favor the window side of the case with the rad. not a problem, but think it would have looked a bit odd not being centered

Have to say I am real happy with the case, that is why I thought to join here
Don't think this will be my last Phanteks build

[doyll]

I started my use of Phanteks with PH-TC14PE cooler. Next was Enthoo Primo, then Enthoo Luxe and now Enthoo Evolv ATX. I've also used several of their other coolers and fans in different projects. So I guess you could say I'm hooked on Phanteks products.

[Witchee]

If the mitx is any indication of there cases I will try them again

Sweet build.
Nice mod on the top cover to improve the air flow.
Well done
