00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:13.360
welcome to another fabulous unboxing online as Tech tips this time we're

00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:21.760
going to be having a look at the Phantom 630 high performance modular full tower

00:00:17.840 --> 00:00:24.880
computer case from NZXT this is pretty

00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:26.960
similar to The Phantom 820 which we

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

00:00:29.439 --> 00:00:38.200
little bit and it has also been decreased in price quite a bit so there

00:00:34.879 --> 00:00:39.800
goes my my video switcher which I sort

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

00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:48.800
themselves on the outside of the case so

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

00:00:53.160 --> 00:01:00.480
mm fans included and one 140 mm fan included lots of clearance for things

00:00:57.719 --> 00:01:04.839
like graphics cards cable management and CPU coolers and finally some Dimensions

00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:08.520
that comes with a 2-year warranty although I'd expect that with a case

00:01:06.320 --> 00:01:11.560
there's not a whole lot to go wrong Next Generation Phantom design both inside

00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:16.280
and out high-end water cooling support allows use of multiple radiators and

00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:20.560
multiple radiator sizes very cool SSD mounts behind the motherboard tray split

00:01:18.960 --> 00:01:23.600
level motherboard tray allowing increased rear Cable Management we will

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

00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:33.159
630s layout to suet your needs I think what they meant was suit but they tried

00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:37.000
give them credit for it okay easily removable dust filters illuminate your

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

00:01:38.880 --> 00:01:43.640
wat single Channel fan controller this is changed and we don't have the so full

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

00:01:47.479 --> 00:01:54.200
be missing so far are the customized lighting effects so that I wasn't I'm

00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:59.079
not talking about the lighting at the back to see your your peripherals I'm

00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:02.479
talking about the uh internal lighting that was in like you know different

00:02:00.479 --> 00:02:06.960
colors and stuff that was very very cool so that's missing and then

00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:12.840
H there we go uh that that seems to be

00:02:10.720 --> 00:02:17.280
sort of one of the biggest missing features so we've got a white version of

00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:23.040
the Phantom 630 apparently I actually had no idea what was inside the included

00:02:19.480 --> 00:02:24.760
foam is quite thick so you can see it's

00:02:23.040 --> 00:02:30.239
probably about an inch thick around the outside edges however that's not all the

00:02:27.239 --> 00:02:32.840
way so it's quite lightweight um I don't

00:02:30.239 --> 00:02:37.959
know if I would be a big fan of shipping an entirely built liquid cooled system

00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:42.680
in the stock box I would probably want to change it out for something a little

00:02:39.519 --> 00:02:45.159
bit more robust but the case itself is

00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:51.239
strong and feels rigid so far so that will actually help compared to if you

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

00:02:54.959 --> 00:03:00.720
the plastic off here and you know what there's actually a lot of plastic wrap

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

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

00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:14.200
to get used to this Phantom look I remember when the first Phantom launched

00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:19.080
some people were not necessarily that impressed with the aesthetic I

00:03:15.920 --> 00:03:20.720
personally liked it but I think now that

00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:24.920
we've seen it a few times in a few slightly different variations of the

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

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

00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:38.000
so this is magnetic which is actually really nice and this right here this is

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

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

00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:51.560
the front which I just discovered and didn't know about okay so there you go

00:03:49.640 --> 00:03:54.720
so that actually is there for a very practical reason that makes it easier

00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:59.239
for the air to pass through the mesh without making additional noise there's

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

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

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

00:04:09.799 --> 00:04:17.000
going to get diesel to film that for me again two

00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:20.400
USB 3.0 ports two USB 2.0 ports headphones and microphone ah yes the

00:04:18.919 --> 00:04:25.040
other thing that was missing from the Phantom 820 is the very complex fan

00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:31.320
controller now we've just got a single fan controller so down middle up uh that

00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:35.800
turns the io lights on and off you've got power and reset switches here as

00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:41.000
well as indicator LEDs so this right here is just sort of you got one option

00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:45.160
or one you've got one setting for the fan speeds inside your entire case which

00:04:43.320 --> 00:04:48.639
I actually personally don't mind because quite frankly think about it this way

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

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

00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:06.120
happens that often I think you're either idling and Diesel's putting his hand up

00:05:02.039 --> 00:05:07.680
cuz no forget it you don't do that um I

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

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

00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:19.840
options regardless of what sort of smart Alex on my production crew might be

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

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

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

00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:34.960
now you can see what I'm actually talking about here there's an option for

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

00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:42.720
space so it's going to be very very low restriction which is great for cooling

00:05:40.440 --> 00:05:47.280
and Phantom series is about nothing if not cooling with sort of cool looks so

00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:51.479
on the back you can do a variety of different sort of fan mounting options

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

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

00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:02.880
show you this this back piece here bulges out a little bit so can you see

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

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

00:06:09.960 --> 00:06:18.840
and the grill which reduces noise and reduces restriction very very good stuff

00:06:15.080 --> 00:06:21.160
we've got ah 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 nine

00:06:18.840 --> 00:06:25.440
expansion slots so that means that you can put pretty much whatever uh whatever

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

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

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

00:06:36.599 --> 00:06:42.440
fine and you've got a bottom mounted power supply that looks again sort of

00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:47.560
pretty pretty standard there so left side

00:06:43.960 --> 00:06:50.560
panel there we go you've got another 200

00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:53.599
mm fan that's the other included 200 mm

00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:55.919
fan with the is that three included 200

00:06:53.599 --> 00:07:01.199
mm fans now hold on just a minute no where's the 140 mil fan

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

00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:08.639
the heck's going on because apparently there are three included 200mm fans one

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

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

00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:27.479
you see pretty much just the CPU socket area and the yeah pretty much just the

00:07:22.599 --> 00:07:29.360
CPU socket area as well as a rear 120 mm

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

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

00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:44.440
would show you the Kraken but it's actually on our test bench right now

00:07:42.080 --> 00:07:48.560
interior options so check this out you've actually got a lot of different

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:08:10.440 --> 00:08:14.759
you could actually do uh you could put radiators here as well which is very

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

00:08:18.159 --> 00:08:22.360
is great so there's actually screws here

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

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

00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:38.959
the fixture that these cages actually attach to so Cable Management holes here

00:08:36.719 --> 00:08:42.959
at the back of them sliders here to Mount them and then the whole thing

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

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

00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:56.880
all I need very very cool stuff Cable Management holes Galore so they're using

00:08:54.720 --> 00:09:02.160
an extremely soft rubber for the cable management holes you can see here that

00:08:58.760 --> 00:09:04.000
it's very very pable there you go see

00:09:02.160 --> 00:09:08.120
that one two three so this is where you'll run your graphics card ones this

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

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

00:09:15.880 --> 00:09:23.040
not see check that out Pan behind the motherboard tray lots and lots of room

00:09:21.880 --> 00:09:28.839
uh this is a neat feature that we've seen on NZXT cases before this rotating

00:09:25.760 --> 00:09:31.200
piece right here so check that out so

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

00:09:33.760 --> 00:09:39.839
there and you can either blow it up towards the CPU or across the graphics

00:09:37.839 --> 00:09:44.200
cards the choice is totally yours so if I had a graphics card that for example

00:09:41.959 --> 00:09:47.279
exhausted air this way then I would go and I would install that graphics card

00:09:45.640 --> 00:09:50.399
and then I probably actually wouldn't want to do that anyway because it would

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

00:09:52.560 --> 00:09:59.640
up there point it there the choice is actually yours there's also another here

00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:01.040
we go fan filter so the fan filters half

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

00:10:04.079 --> 00:10:10.480
800d a fan filter that's this long that unless you actually keep your case 4T

00:10:08.560 --> 00:10:13.920
away from the wall you aren't even able to remove without lifting it up and

00:10:11.920 --> 00:10:19.959
moving it around which with these heavy cases can be a bit of a problem included

00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:22.120
cables are all black love to see this

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

00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:33.079
other more different USB 2 uh there's your fan connect connector okay uh so

00:10:31.640 --> 00:10:36.560
that's for adding I guess looks like one more fan cuz the included ones are

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

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

00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:52.480
from the other side so you guys can check it out and it is apparently pretty

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

00:10:55.040 --> 00:11:01.360
handy the odds of that actually were not very good I don't usually have a

00:10:58.680 --> 00:11:05.279
screwdriver handy for these unboxings I never really showed you guys

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

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

00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:17.959
they've just gone and built it out of sort of an incredibly thin steel or

00:11:16.160 --> 00:11:22.440
anything like that although we've seen that trick before not from NZXT I don't

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

00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:32.959
no way these are made of metal very very nice so there you go

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

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

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

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

00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:54.880
because I would normally think of sort of opening up the left side panel to get

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

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

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

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

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

00:12:13.399 --> 00:12:18.440
fan controller love this so sorry that

00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:23.600
one's just on there and it's specifically pre-run for you to plug in

00:12:20.199 --> 00:12:25.120
that side panel you can run 10 fans off

00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:29.199
of the included controller I think it supports up to 20 watts so you don't

00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:33.800
have to worry too much about over loading that no difficulties there here

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:07.519
you'll have enough space and then there's lots of space back here for

00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:12.120
things like your eight pin or whatever else like that uh what's also cool about

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

00:13:14.760 --> 00:13:22.040
can uh zap strap cables here here here here here here here here here you can

00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:26.560
tell that ncxt here and here and here and everywhere here here here you can

00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:30.040
tell ncxt actually puts a lot of thought into how people are going to Cable

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

00:13:31.880 --> 00:13:38.199
close the other side panel without sort of fighting with it and forcing it into

00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:42.680
place the SSD mounts are here so they are mounted with just a thumb screw you

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

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

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

00:13:54.800 --> 00:13:59.639
elegant than what we saw in the Define R4 where you basically couldn't

00:13:57.880 --> 00:14:02.639
uninstall the SSD with the case actually with a

00:14:01.160 --> 00:14:08.480
motherboard installed because you had to screw it in from the other side which is

00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:10.680
not really an optimal configuration

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

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

00:14:18.079 --> 00:14:24.199
you so desire you can actually just

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

00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:32.600
have to have anything here which means you can pull this out and mount a

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

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

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

00:14:42.759 --> 00:14:49.120
could Mount radiators here in the front Okay so that that's another option you

00:14:46.959 --> 00:14:51.920
could take your single one and put it here although you can't take the double

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

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

00:14:57.600 --> 00:15:03.519
if I worked there for mounting the hard drives the other way because then you

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

00:15:05.959 --> 00:15:12.519
worry about that and mount things the other way but um I wasn't there so

00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:17.880
nobody asked me so you can also make things sort of more low profile here and

00:15:15.160 --> 00:15:23.320
you can have more space here for presumably the longest graphics card

00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:25.040
ever made uh the the twinky Edition

00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:29.040
graphics card because the Twinkies are see product placement maybe we're

00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:34.639
getting money from Hostess which doesn't actually um exist anymore so that's

00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:37.000
probably not what's going on um so yeah

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

00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:46.519
here and there you go you just basically bolt

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

00:15:48.079 --> 00:15:55.440
it does work and that pretty much wraps up this particular unboxing thank you

00:15:53.440 --> 00:16:00.880
for checking out my unboxing and first look at the Phantom 630 from NZXT which

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

00:16:03.560 --> 00:16:11.519
back as well as more importantly the options for radiator mounting here in

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

00:16:14.680 --> 00:16:20.319
looks like you can do dual 140s and then

00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:22.759
they've used slits instead of holes so you can actually have a lot of

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

00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:34.680
not least you can leave in those dual 200 mm fans with filters and go that

00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:40.120
route now we're done thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look

00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:41.560
at the Fantom 620 from 630 from NZXT
