00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,360
welcome to another fabulous unboxing online as Tech tips this time we're

2
00:00:11,519 --> 00:00:21,760
going to be having a look at the Phantom 630 high performance modular full tower

3
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:24,880
computer case from NZXT this is pretty

4
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:26,960
similar to The Phantom 820 which we

5
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:31,039
actually had a look at not that long ago except it has been decreased in size a

6
00:00:29,439 --> 00:00:38,200
little bit and it has also been decreased in price quite a bit so there

7
00:00:34,879 --> 00:00:39,800
goes my my video switcher which I sort

8
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:46,559
of will need at some point but let's have a look at what NZXT has to say for

9
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:48,800
themselves on the outside of the case so

10
00:00:46,559 --> 00:00:55,840
here we go we got four 5 and a/4 inch Bays cooling options Galore with two 200

11
00:00:53,160 --> 00:01:00,480
mm fans included and one 140 mm fan included lots of clearance for things

12
00:00:57,719 --> 00:01:04,839
like graphics cards cable management and CPU coolers and finally some Dimensions

13
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:08,520
that comes with a 2-year warranty although I'd expect that with a case

14
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:11,560
there's not a whole lot to go wrong Next Generation Phantom design both inside

15
00:01:10,159 --> 00:01:16,280
and out high-end water cooling support allows use of multiple radiators and

16
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:20,560
multiple radiator sizes very cool SSD mounts behind the motherboard tray split

17
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:23,600
level motherboard tray allowing increased rear Cable Management we will

18
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:29,640
check that out I'll show you guys that on the back fully modular internal drive blazs allow you to customize the Phantom

19
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:33,159
630s layout to suet your needs I think what they meant was suit but they tried

20
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:37,000
give them credit for it okay easily removable dust filters illuminate your

21
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:40,360
IO ports at the back this is cool that's a great feature integrated high power 30

22
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:43,640
wat single Channel fan controller this is changed and we don't have the so full

23
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:50,439
external peripheral support with multiple USB 3 and an integrated SD card reader okay so the things that seem to

24
00:01:47,479 --> 00:01:54,200
be missing so far are the customized lighting effects so that I wasn't I'm

25
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:59,079
not talking about the lighting at the back to see your your peripherals I'm

26
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:02,479
talking about the uh internal lighting that was in like you know different

27
00:02:00,479 --> 00:02:06,960
colors and stuff that was very very cool so that's missing and then

28
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:12,840
H there we go uh that that seems to be

29
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:17,280
sort of one of the biggest missing features so we've got a white version of

30
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:23,040
the Phantom 630 apparently I actually had no idea what was inside the included

31
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:24,760
foam is quite thick so you can see it's

32
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:30,239
probably about an inch thick around the outside edges however that's not all the

33
00:02:27,239 --> 00:02:32,840
way so it's quite lightweight um I don't

34
00:02:30,239 --> 00:02:37,959
know if I would be a big fan of shipping an entirely built liquid cooled system

35
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:42,680
in the stock box I would probably want to change it out for something a little

36
00:02:39,519 --> 00:02:45,159
bit more robust but the case itself is

37
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:51,239
strong and feels rigid so far so that will actually help compared to if you

38
00:02:48,599 --> 00:02:57,000
had sort of a flimsy case inside of a hard foam packed box go ahead and take

39
00:02:54,959 --> 00:03:00,720
the plastic off here and you know what there's actually a lot of plastic wrap

40
00:02:59,319 --> 00:03:05,319
on this case so we're going to do that off camera and we're good to go so I'd

41
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:10,159
love to have diesel do a nice pan of the front panel here because we are starting

42
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:14,200
to get used to this Phantom look I remember when the first Phantom launched

43
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:19,080
some people were not necessarily that impressed with the aesthetic I

44
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:20,720
personally liked it but I think now that

45
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:24,920
we've seen it a few times in a few slightly different variations of the

46
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:29,400
case the 410 the original the 630 and the 820 I am definitely used to it I

47
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:33,519
think it looks great and there's a lot of prct I ality that goes along with it

48
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:38,000
so this is magnetic which is actually really nice and this right here this is

49
00:03:35,879 --> 00:03:41,400
a very loose mesh so you can see the fan very clearly which shows you how loose

50
00:03:39,879 --> 00:03:47,720
the mesh is you can also see there's a lot of space between the mesh and the fan that and there's a dust filter in

51
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:51,560
the front which I just discovered and didn't know about okay so there you go

52
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:54,720
so that actually is there for a very practical reason that makes it easier

53
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:59,239
for the air to pass through the mesh without making additional noise there's

54
00:03:56,519 --> 00:04:02,840
also what appears to be a dust filter directly in front of the fan so that'll

55
00:04:01,079 --> 00:04:06,760
help with things as well up here in the front you can find those four 5 and 1/4

56
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:11,680
in Bays as well as the built-in SD card slot and on the top of the case I'm

57
00:04:09,799 --> 00:04:17,000
going to get diesel to film that for me again two

58
00:04:14,439 --> 00:04:20,400
USB 3.0 ports two USB 2.0 ports headphones and microphone ah yes the

59
00:04:18,919 --> 00:04:25,040
other thing that was missing from the Phantom 820 is the very complex fan

60
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:31,320
controller now we've just got a single fan controller so down middle up uh that

61
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:35,800
turns the io lights on and off you've got power and reset switches here as

62
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:41,000
well as indicator LEDs so this right here is just sort of you got one option

63
00:04:38,639 --> 00:04:45,160
or one you've got one setting for the fan speeds inside your entire case which

64
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:48,639
I actually personally don't mind because quite frankly think about it this way

65
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:54,639
how often are you going to be going oh well I'd like my CPU fan at high and I'd

66
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:59,720
like my GPU fan at low and then my case band at medium I don't think that

67
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:06,120
happens that often I think you're either idling and Diesel's putting his hand up

68
00:05:02,039 --> 00:05:07,680
cuz no forget it you don't do that um I

69
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:11,520
think you're either going okay well I'm idle I want it quiet or I'm you know I'm

70
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:16,080
gaming and I want to you know Crank It Up so those those are pretty much the

71
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:19,840
options regardless of what sort of smart Alex on my production crew might be

72
00:05:18,280 --> 00:05:24,000
saying so we're going to go ahead and give you guys another look at it here so

73
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:27,560
again you can see the mesh on the top is quite loose and there's one of those

74
00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:30,759
included 200 mm fans and I've totally got it on the wrong camera right now so

75
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:34,960
now you can see what I'm actually talking about here there's an option for

76
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:38,759
another 200 mm fan here and this is again quite a loose mesh with a lot of

77
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:42,720
space so it's going to be very very low restriction which is great for cooling

78
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:47,280
and Phantom series is about nothing if not cooling with sort of cool looks so

79
00:05:45,319 --> 00:05:51,479
on the back you can do a variety of different sort of fan mounting options

80
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:55,720
120 and 140 and then you can move them around as you see fit also it should be

81
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:58,759
noted that this back piece here and it's actually going to be easier for slick to

82
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:02,880
show you this this back piece here bulges out a little bit so can you see

83
00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:06,000
that that sort of that there you go you can see that bulge yeah you can see it

84
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:12,520
now so it bulges out a little bit and there's a very good reason for that it again puts more space between the fan

85
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:18,840
and the grill which reduces noise and reduces restriction very very good stuff

86
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:21,160
we've got ah 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 nine

87
00:06:18,840 --> 00:06:25,440
expansion slots so that means that you can put pretty much whatever uh whatever

88
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:31,120
motherboard you want in there there aren't many motherboards that have more than nine PCI expansion slots in fact I

89
00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:34,360
can't think of any although if you had one that had nine and then you needed a

90
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:38,120
dual slot card in the bottom that might be an issue but still I expect it to be

91
00:06:36,599 --> 00:06:42,440
fine and you've got a bottom mounted power supply that looks again sort of

92
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:47,560
pretty pretty standard there so left side

93
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:50,560
panel there we go you've got another 200

94
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:53,599
mm fan that's the other included 200 mm

95
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:55,919
fan with the is that three included 200

96
00:06:53,599 --> 00:07:01,199
mm fans now hold on just a minute no where's the 140 mil fan

97
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:04,919
something in here must be a 140 mil fan well let's open it up and find out what

98
00:07:02,639 --> 00:07:08,639
the heck's going on because apparently there are three included 200mm fans one

99
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:14,680
in the front one on the side one on the top even though it would appear that the

100
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:19,520
ah yes no three included 200 mm fans there's also a window so the window lets

101
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:27,479
you see pretty much just the CPU socket area and the yeah pretty much just the

102
00:07:22,599 --> 00:07:29,360
CPU socket area as well as a rear 120 mm

103
00:07:27,479 --> 00:07:35,160
mounted water cooling unit or something like like that like if you were to install something like an NZXT Kraken in

104
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:39,039
here for example that would be a great fit and it would go perfectly in there I

105
00:07:37,759 --> 00:07:44,440
would show you the Kraken but it's actually on our test bench right now

106
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:48,560
interior options so check this out you've actually got a lot of different

107
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:52,199
options here so there's that 200 mm front fan and I can't see slicks in my

108
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:55,840
way so I can't tell which camera we're on yep we're on the right one okay so

109
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:59,520
there's that front 200 mm fan you've got a lot of other options here as well

110
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:05,360
though so you can actually do dual 120 or dual 140 mm fans if you would prefer

111
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:08,440
and then what's cool about that is I can't quite see how they come out it

112
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:12,039
looks like it's on the other side but you could pull these Drive cages out and

113
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:14,759
you could actually do uh you could put radiators here as well which is very

114
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:21,199
very neat so we're going to show you that we'll pull this out you can also see oh check this oh look at this this

115
00:08:18,159 --> 00:08:22,360
is great so there's actually screws here

116
00:08:21,199 --> 00:08:27,039
so you might have to get kind of close to see that there's SC screws here so

117
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:33,240
you can pull out not only the cages but also this guy right here which is the um

118
00:08:30,639 --> 00:08:38,959
the fixture that these cages actually attach to so Cable Management holes here

119
00:08:36,719 --> 00:08:42,959
at the back of them sliders here to Mount them and then the whole thing

120
00:08:40,959 --> 00:08:46,240
comes out if you just decide who cares I'm going to mount two ssds on the back

121
00:08:44,560 --> 00:08:52,800
of the motherboard tray I'm not going to need anything else and that's it that's

122
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:56,880
all I need very very cool stuff Cable Management holes Galore so they're using

123
00:08:54,720 --> 00:09:02,160
an extremely soft rubber for the cable management holes you can see here that

124
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:04,000
it's very very pable there you go see

125
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:08,120
that one two three so this is where you'll run your graphics card ones this

126
00:09:05,839 --> 00:09:11,760
is where you'll run up from your power supply so that'll be down here there's a

127
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:18,560
ton of room at the back for cable management look at that you can pretty much stuff flake my hand back there and

128
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:23,040
not see check that out Pan behind the motherboard tray lots and lots of room

129
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:28,839
uh this is a neat feature that we've seen on NZXT cases before this rotating

130
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:31,200
piece right here so check that out so

131
00:09:28,839 --> 00:09:35,079
that allows to either sort of you you just put either a 120 or 140 mm fan

132
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:39,839
there and you can either blow it up towards the CPU or across the graphics

133
00:09:37,839 --> 00:09:44,200
cards the choice is totally yours so if I had a graphics card that for example

134
00:09:41,959 --> 00:09:47,279
exhausted air this way then I would go and I would install that graphics card

135
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:50,399
and then I probably actually wouldn't want to do that anyway because it would

136
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:54,200
still be pointing away but okay don't worry about it uh the point is point it

137
00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:59,640
up there point it there the choice is actually yours there's also another here

138
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:01,040
we go fan filter so the fan filters half

139
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:06,680
and half you can pull out half of it from the front and half from the back that prevents you from having like the

140
00:10:04,079 --> 00:10:10,480
800d a fan filter that's this long that unless you actually keep your case 4T

141
00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:13,920
away from the wall you aren't even able to remove without lifting it up and

142
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:19,959
moving it around which with these heavy cases can be a bit of a problem included

143
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:22,120
cables are all black love to see this

144
00:10:19,959 --> 00:10:27,440
this is a good thing so we've got there's your USB 2 there's your USB

145
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:33,079
other more different USB 2 uh there's your fan connect connector okay uh so

146
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:36,560
that's for adding I guess looks like one more fan cuz the included ones are

147
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:42,920
presumably ah yeah that's for attaching the side panel fan and then we've got uh

148
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:47,920
front panel connectors and USB 3 so we're going to go ahead and open it up

149
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:52,480
from the other side so you guys can check it out and it is apparently pretty

150
00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:57,480
tight so I'm going to go ahead and grab a screwdriver which I happen to have

151
00:10:55,040 --> 00:11:01,360
handy the odds of that actually were not very good I don't usually have a

152
00:10:58,680 --> 00:11:05,279
screwdriver handy for these unboxings I never really showed you guys

153
00:11:03,680 --> 00:11:11,000
the uh construction of the side panel so I'm just going to show you that right now so there's a little bit of flex to

154
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:14,560
it but with a case this big that's to be expected um they're not it's not like

155
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:17,959
they've just gone and built it out of sort of an incredibly thin steel or

156
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:22,440
anything like that although we've seen that trick before not from NZXT I don't

157
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:27,120
think I showed you guys the tooless 5 and a/4 inch Bay actually before we oh

158
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:32,959
no way these are made of metal very very nice so there you go

159
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:37,519
you can hear that snap to them and then you can also screw them in should you so

160
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:42,800
desire now this is the second time we've seen this in the recent past but it

161
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:46,600
looks like the uh the 3 and 1/2 in Bays actually come out from the right hand

162
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:50,839
side instead of from the left side this is a bit of a unique design to me uh

163
00:11:49,279 --> 00:11:54,880
because I would normally think of sort of opening up the left side panel to get

164
00:11:53,399 --> 00:11:58,600
it anything on the inside of the case but I guess it doesn't really matter 2

165
00:11:56,959 --> 00:12:02,920
and 1/2 in drives go here in the middle 3 and 1/2 in drives are on rubber

166
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:06,839
isolating mounts here and you can see there's some Flex to it so it's designed

167
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:10,760
to to bend easily there but once you put a drive in it that'll firm right up and

168
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:17,120
you won't have to worry about it sort of going anywhere oh there's the included

169
00:12:13,399 --> 00:12:18,440
fan controller love this so sorry that

170
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:23,600
one's just on there and it's specifically pre-run for you to plug in

171
00:12:20,199 --> 00:12:25,120
that side panel you can run 10 fans off

172
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:29,199
of the included controller I think it supports up to 20 watts so you don't

173
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:33,800
have to worry too much about over loading that no difficulties there here

174
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:36,720
on the back you can see that there's tons of cable management space so I'm

175
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:40,600
going to get slick to kind of have a look here where you can there's more

176
00:12:38,639 --> 00:12:43,959
than enough space to put a 24 pin cable back here and then there's actually some

177
00:12:42,519 --> 00:12:47,199
parts that pop out a little bit more like up here where the SSD Mount is but

178
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,639
that's not an issue because you should be running your 24 pin here if I don't

179
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:56,199
know if you can see this but this is out a slight slant here so this is further

180
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:59,760
in or this is further in than this which is further in than this so there's a

181
00:12:58,399 --> 00:13:03,720
there's a shape to it here so you run your 24 pin over here and up here and

182
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:07,519
you'll have enough space and then there's lots of space back here for

183
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:12,120
things like your eight pin or whatever else like that uh what's also cool about

184
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:16,959
the back is they have a ton of cable management spots so you can clip or you

185
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:22,040
can uh zap strap cables here here here here here here here here here you can

186
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:26,560
tell that ncxt here and here and here and everywhere here here here you can

187
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:30,040
tell ncxt actually puts a lot of thought into how people are going to Cable

188
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:34,079
manage the case to to keep all the wires flat and make it so that it's easy to

189
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:38,199
close the other side panel without sort of fighting with it and forcing it into

190
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:42,680
place the SSD mounts are here so they are mounted with just a thumb screw you

191
00:13:40,279 --> 00:13:48,720
pull these off put in the four screws into the SSD and then you are whoops I

192
00:13:47,079 --> 00:13:53,440
was on the wrong there you go so you put four screws into the bottom of the SSD

193
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:56,240
you put it back into place and then you screw it back in this is a lot more

194
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:59,639
elegant than what we saw in the Define R4 where you basically couldn't

195
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:02,639
uninstall the SSD with the case actually with a

196
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:08,480
motherboard installed because you had to screw it in from the other side which is

197
00:14:04,759 --> 00:14:10,680
not really an optimal configuration

198
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:15,120
and okay you know what we're going to do this off camera okay I think we pretty

199
00:14:13,399 --> 00:14:21,639
much figured it out so you have a number of different options so number one is if

200
00:14:18,079 --> 00:14:24,199
you so desire you can actually just

201
00:14:21,639 --> 00:14:28,120
install these by hanging them from the ceiling so there you go so now you don't

202
00:14:26,759 --> 00:14:32,600
have to have anything here which means you can pull this out and mount a

203
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:36,320
radiator on the bottom remember that's a filtered intake so that's that's a good

204
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:40,800
thing you could also just pull them all out so you have a single a double and a

205
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:44,880
triple giving you a total of six 3 and2 in so you can pull them all out and you

206
00:14:42,759 --> 00:14:49,120
could Mount radiators here in the front Okay so that that's another option you

207
00:14:46,959 --> 00:14:51,920
could take your single one and put it here although you can't take the double

208
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:55,880
one and put it there because there's no room at the back to pull the hard drives

209
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:59,600
out this is would have been an argument you know that I would have made at ncxt

210
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:03,519
if I worked there for mounting the hard drives the other way because then you

211
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:07,399
wouldn't have to worry too much about that you could just sort of you know not

212
00:15:05,959 --> 00:15:12,519
worry about that and mount things the other way but um I wasn't there so

213
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:17,880
nobody asked me so you can also make things sort of more low profile here and

214
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:23,320
you can have more space here for presumably the longest graphics card

215
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:25,040
ever made uh the the twinky Edition

216
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:29,040
graphics card because the Twinkies are see product placement maybe we're

217
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:34,639
getting money from Hostess which doesn't actually um exist anymore so that's

218
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:37,000
probably not what's going on um so yeah

219
00:15:34,639 --> 00:15:42,120
that's pretty much it I mean you can just sort of put a single triple one

220
00:15:39,759 --> 00:15:46,519
here and there you go you just basically bolt

221
00:15:44,839 --> 00:15:50,839
them in at the back and I'm I keep missing here but you guys get the point

222
00:15:48,079 --> 00:15:55,440
it does work and that pretty much wraps up this particular unboxing thank you

223
00:15:53,440 --> 00:16:00,880
for checking out my unboxing and first look at the Phantom 630 from NZXT which

224
00:15:59,319 --> 00:16:06,519
actually is not over yet because I didn't show you the 140 mil fan at the

225
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:11,519
back as well as more importantly the options for radiator mounting here in

226
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:17,720
the top so you can do a triple 120 looks like you can do a combination of no

227
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:20,319
looks like you can do dual 140s and then

228
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:22,759
they've used slits instead of holes so you can actually have a lot of

229
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:29,399
flexibility in terms of where you position the fans and you can do a dual 140 radiator as well and then last but

230
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:34,680
not least you can leave in those dual 200 mm fans with filters and go that

231
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:40,120
route now we're done thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look

232
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:41,560
at the Fantom 620 from 630 from NZXT
