Immersive 600-LED Matrix Display

The Phanteks XT View Matrix is a mid-tower ATX case finished in charcoal black. It targets builders who want a programmable 600-LED fabric screen for system stats and custom animations alongside high-end component support. Steel, ABS and tempered glass form the chassis, while the front and side glass panels showcase the interior. Motherboard compatibility covers ATX, micro-ATX, mini-ITX and E-ATX boards up to 280 mm wide.

Build quality and daily connectivity

The case ships with three M25 120 mm D-RGB fans pre-installed and offers nine total 120 mm mounting points across the midplate, top and rear. Top radiator support reaches 360 mm, while the side accepts up to 240 mm and the rear up to 120 mm. A USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port sits on the front I/O for fast peripheral access. Dual tempered-glass windows and a fabric-covered matrix panel give a premium look, and the rear-connector motherboard layout keeps cables hidden for a cleaner build.

Deciding specification: 415 mm maximum GPU length

This single figure determines whether your graphics card will fit. The chassis accommodates cards up to 415 mm long, covering current flagship models with room for cable routing behind the midplate. If your GPU exceeds this length, you will need a larger enclosure; if it is shorter, the XT View Matrix provides ample clearance and direct midplate airflow for thermal performance.

Questions about this item

Will a 415 mm graphics card fit with the mid-plate fans installed?

The case supports graphics cards up to 415 mm long, and the mid-plate accommodates three 120 mm fans without reducing that clearance.

Can I mount a 360 mm radiator on the top and still use the rear 120 mm fan?

Yes, the top supports radiators up to 360 mm while the rear retains a dedicated 120 mm fan position.

Does the 600-LED matrix display require a separate controller or software?

The matrix screen is built into the front fabric panel and is controlled through the included D-RGB fan ecosystem; no extra controller is needed.
