EX5-Plus

Defined by form, driven by flow and divided for precision

Phanteks introduces the EX5; the new chassis is designed with a compartmentalized structure. This layout organizes key components into dedicated chambers, ensuring each receives a direct flow of fresh air.

Designed for a “no-tubes” aesthetic. This model includes a fully integrated AIO liquid cooler with sidemounted connections, keeping the interior remarkably uncluttered, and making system installation a breeze.

The EX5 moves away from the traditional boxy, ‘fish tank’ look and presents a bold, creative way to showcase a PC build. The unique layout optimizes cooling efficiency by directing fresh air precisely where it’s needed and expelling heat more effectively. This effective airflow design reduces reliance on excessive fan setups, allowing builders to achieve excellent thermals with fewer fans.
