Product Information

Full details

The Phanteks EX5 PLUS is designed for PC enthusiasts and builders who prioritize thermal efficiency and a minimalist aesthetic. Its standout feature is the compartmentalized chamber design, which isolates heat-generating components into distinct thermal zones for superior cooling performance without the need for a cluttered fan configuration. While this structure offers exceptional airflow and a sleek, hidden-tubing appearance, users should note that the integrated cooling system limits the ability to swap individual cooling components compared to traditional open-chassis builds.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does the EX5 PLUS come with case fans?

The case includes an integrated Glacier One 360S25-SE liquid cooler. Check your specific package contents for additional pre-installed case airflow fans.

Can I replace the integrated AIO cooler?

The system is designed with an integrated cooling architecture. While it is technically possible, replacing the AIO may require significant effort and potentially void warranties.

Is this case suitable for large GPUs?

Yes, the chamber design provides generous room for modern long graphics cards, provided they fit within the standard ATX mid-tower specifications.

What motherboard sizes does this support?

The Phanteks EX5 PLUS supports standard ATX and smaller form factor motherboards.

How do I access the power supply chamber?

The power supply chamber is accessed via the side or rear panel depending on the specific mounting orientation designed for this chassis.

Is there room for additional storage drives?

Yes, there are designated mounting points within the chassis for SSDs and HDDs, usually located in a non-airflow-restricted secondary chamber.

Troubleshooting

Higher than expected CPU temperatures

Verify that the AIO pump is connected to the header and running at the correct speed; ensure the intake vents are not obstructed.

System components feel warm to the touch

Ensure the case has at least 4 inches of clearance from walls or objects to allow the dedicated intake zones to pull in fresh air.

Difficulties with cable management

Utilize the provided Velcro straps and route power cables through the chamber-specific channels rather than trying to cross over between zones.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Superior thermal isolation prevents component heat saturation
Clean, unobstructed aesthetic due to concealed tubing
Includes high-quality integrated liquid cooling system
Streamlined airflow path requires fewer fans
Optimized for modern high-TDP hardware

Cons

Less flexibility for custom cooling loop modifications
Requires careful planning for cable management between chambers
Larger footprint than some compact mid-towers
Integrated AIO cooling system limits future cooling upgrades

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When setting up the Phanteks EX5 PLUS, ensure you follow the installation manual carefully to route cables through the designated pass-throughs between chambers. Since the cooling is integrated, prioritize mounting your motherboard and power supply first to allow for proper routing of the hidden tubing.

For maintenance, periodically dust the intake vents to keep the thermal zones working efficiently. Use a soft, non-abrasive cloth to wipe down the exterior, and check that the AIO radiator fans remain clear of debris. Because the case uses a compartmentalized design, avoid blocking any of the side or bottom panel intakes with carpet or wall-facing obstructions.
