    EX5
    THE ESSENTIAL BUILDER’S CANVAS

    EX5 is a steel chassis with tempered glass and no included AIO, ideal for builders who want to choose their own cooling.

    Its chambered airflow design isolates the CPU, GPU, and PSU to provide non-recirculating fresh air for cooler, more stable performance.

    The compartmentalized layout features a rear-mounted cooling fan for the mainboard, VRM, and SSD, a tempered-glass GPU showcase, and ATX-standard compatibility.

    EX5
    • The unique compartmentalized design offers each component direct fresh air
    • Covered AIO tubes for a clean look.
    • Dedicated 360 radiator support. Choose your own AIO liquid cooler.
    • Pre-installed S25-120 fan behind mainboard.

    LOADING...

    The Phanteks EX5 is a black ATX mid-tower PC case with a multi-chamber airflow layout, a pre-installed S25-120 fan, and support for a side-mounted 360mm radiator. It suits PC builders seeking targeted cooling, room for a large GPU, and the flexibility to choose their own AIO cooler.

    Recommended For

    • PC builders who want the graphics card visible through a dedicated glass window and prefer a distinctive multi-chamber layout over a conventional case interior.
    • Builders planning a compatible liquid-cooled system who want room for a side-mounted 360 mm radiator and a cleaner-looking showcase build.
    • Desk-based builders who value integrated ARGB accents, a tempered-glass GPU view, and front-panel USB-C for connecting current peripherals.
    • Experienced DIY builders who are willing to check motherboard PCIe-slot position, graphics-card thickness, and connector clearance before choosing parts.

    Real-World Use Scenarios

    • For a gaming build where the graphics card is meant to be visible, the EX5’s separate GPU window and integrated ARGB make the card a focal point; check card thickness against the motherboard’s PCIe-slot position before buying.
    • For a new build centered on a 360 mm AIO, the side radiator position gives the cooler a planned place in the layout; the EX5 itself is the case-only model, so budget for the AIO separately.
    • When moving an ATX or micro-ATX system into the EX5, verify the graphics-card clearance for the exact motherboard and card combination first; the usable card thickness depends on PCIe-slot placement, so not every large GPU fits every board layout.
    • For a desktop build used for frequent file transfers or connecting peripherals, the front USB-C and USB-A ports keep those connections within reach instead of requiring access to the back of the PC.
    • For a gaming PC with a high-load CPU or GPU, use temperature checks and fan-curve adjustments during setup rather than assuming the multi-chamber layout alone will determine cooling; independent EX5 testing includes thermal measurements.
