FAQs

What is the maximum motherboard size supported?

The Phanteks Evolv Series S2 case supports ATX, E-ATX, and SSI-CEB motherboards, along with smaller form factors like micro-ATX and Mini-ITX.

Can I install a 360mm or 420mm radiator?

Yes, the case is designed with extensive radiator support. It can accommodate up to three 420mm radiators, one in the front, one in the top, and one in the bottom, though specific configurations may affect component clearance.

How many storage drives can I install?

The case typically offers multiple mounting points for 3.5" HDDs and 2.5" SSDs. The exact number can vary based on the configuration of internal drive cages and other components.

Does the case come with RGB lighting?

The Evolv Series S2 typically focuses on build quality and airflow rather than integrated RGB lighting. However, it provides ample space to incorporate custom RGB lighting solutions if desired.

What is the warranty period for this case?

Phanteks generally offers a limited warranty for their cases. Please refer to the product documentation or the official Phanteks website for the most current and specific warranty information.

Are the dust filters removable for cleaning?

Yes, the Evolv S2 features removable dust filters at the front, bottom, and top intake locations, making them easy to clean and maintain.

Troubleshooting

PC not turning on after assembly

Double-check all power cable connections to the motherboard, PSU, and front panel I/O. Ensure the PSU switch is in the 'on' position and the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet.

Overheating components

Verify that all case fans are installed and spinning in the correct direction for optimal airflow. Ensure dust filters are clean and free from obstructions. Check that the CPU cooler is properly seated and that thermal paste has been applied correctly. If using liquid cooling, confirm pump operation and radiator fan speeds.

Difficulty installing large graphics card

Remove any drive cages or internal brackets that may be obstructing the PCIe slots. Ensure the case's rear expansion slots are properly configured for the GPU. Consult the case manual for maximum GPU length specifications relative to any installed radiators.

Tempered glass panel is scratched or damaged

Handle tempered glass panels with care during installation and maintenance. If a panel is damaged, contact Phanteks support for a replacement. Do not attempt to repair damaged glass.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Prepare the Case: Remove the tempered glass side panels and any internal drive cages not needed for your build.
  2. Motherboard Installation: Install your ATX, E-ATX, or smaller motherboard using the provided standoffs.
  3. Component Installation: Install your CPU, RAM, GPU(s), and storage drives. Ensure adequate space for GPU length and height.
  4. Cooling Setup: Mount your CPU cooler (air or liquid). If using liquid cooling, plan radiator and pump placement.
  5. Power Supply Unit (PSU): Install the PSU in its designated bay, typically at the bottom rear.
  6. Cable Management: Route all cables through the designated channels and secure them with zip ties or Velcro straps for a clean look and optimal airflow.
  7. Final Assembly: Reattach side panels and connect all front I/O cables.

Compatibility:

  • Motherboard Support: ATX, E-ATX, SSI-CEB, and smaller form factors.
  • GPU Clearance: Supports long graphics cards (check specific length limits based on radiator configuration).
  • CPU Cooler Height: Ample clearance for most air coolers.
  • Radiator Support: Up to 3x 420mm radiators (configuration dependent).
  • Storage: Multiple 3.5" HDD and 2.5" SSD mounting locations.

Care:

  • Cleaning Exterior: Wipe down the anodised aluminium panels with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Tempered Glass: Use a mild glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth to clean the tempered glass panels. Avoid spraying cleaner directly onto the edges.
  • Dust Filters: Regularly remove and clean the dust filters located at the front, bottom, and top of the case. These can typically be rinsed with water and allowed to dry completely before reinstallation.
