NZXT Phantom 410 Case Review

Inside the NZXT Phantom 410

Both panels are attached to the chassis using black thumbscrews. The motherboard tray has a huge hole for you to access the backplate of the CPU coolers without having to remove the motherboard from the case, several holes protected with rubber covers for you to route cables behind it, and several metallic clips for you to fasten cables using cable ties.

In Figure 13, we have another overall look inside the case. Expansion cards are fastened using black thumbscrews. As mentioned before, you can remove the top fan for installing a 240 mm radiator of liquid cooling solutions. In its default configuration, the NZXT Phantom 410 supports video cards up to 12” (305 mm) long. If you install the optional 120 mm f
an on the hard drive cage, this clearance is reduced to 11” (280 mm), but it is increased to 16.5” (420 mm) if the upper hard drive cage is removed from the case.

The NZXT Phantom 410 allows the installation of a 120 mm internal fan on the side of the hard drive cage. Differently from other cases we’ve seen so far, this fan can be tilted, so you can aim the airflow to the exact component you want to cool down. See Figure 14.

The power supply is installed at the bottom of the case, and it can be installed with either its bottom fan facing up or facing down, so you can decide if you want the fan of your power supply pulling air from inside the case or from outside of it.

The case allows the installation of a 120 mm fan on its bottom panel. With this fan installed, you can have a power supply up to 7.7” (195 mm) deep. As explained before, the case doesn’t come with an air filter for this optional fan.
