Mid Tower ATX Chassis with 900 LED Matrix

The Phanteks Evolv X2 Matrix is a mid tower ATX chassis designed for builders who want a showcase build with integrated lighting. A 900 LED matrix screen sits behind fabric interior panels to display system stats or custom animations. The case supports ATX, micro-ATX, mini-ITX and E-ATX boards up to 280 mm wide. Tempered glass side panels and a charcoal black finish complete the premium look.

Vertical Cooling System with Seven Fan Mounts

A floating chassis design creates a vertical airflow path from bottom intake to top exhaust. Seven 120 mm fan positions are provided: three on the midplate, three at the top and one at the rear. The top supports radiators up to 360 mm for liquid cooling. This layout moves heat upward through the case without relying on side vents.

380 mm GPU Clearance and 170 mm CPU Cooler Height

The interior fits graphics cards up to 380 mm long and CPU coolers up to 170 mm tall. Power supplies up to 250 mm deep are supported. Storage includes two 3.5 inch bays and five 2.5 inch bays, with shared mounting reducing counts when both types are used. Eight expansion slots accommodate vertical GPU brackets or additional cards.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the 900 LED matrix screen and fabric panels during the build, and what step do builders often miss?

The matrix screen sits behind the fabric interior panel on the mid-plate; the step often missed is routing the display cable through the designated grommet before securing the motherboard, otherwise the connector cannot be reached.

Which filters or moving parts will need cleaning or replacement after extended use?

Magnetic dust filters on the bottom intake and top exhaust panels should be removed and washed periodically; the three pre-installed 120 mm bottom fans and three top fans may require bearing replacement after several years of continuous operation.

What thermal limit appears first when the system runs a sustained heavy load?

With a 360 mm radiator mounted in the top exhaust position, coolant temperature typically plateaus first, limiting further CPU and GPU frequency headroom before the 170 mm CPU cooler or 380 mm GPU clearance becomes a factor.
