Phanteks is proud to introduce the EX5 lineup, the first chassis models announced in the new EX Series. First showcased at Computex 2026, the EX5 lineup features an innovative compartmentalized architecture that delivers a fresh approach to PC chassis design, combining distinctive aesthetics with purposeful airflow.
As the cost of building a high-performance PC continues to rise, the EX5 lineup is designed to help builders reduce overall system costs while maintaining efficient cooling. Breaking away from the traditional "fish tank" layout, the EX5 organizes key components into dedicated chambers, delivering fresh airflow directly where it is needed while efficiently exhausting heat throughout the chassis.
This optimized airflow design reduces the need for excessive fan configurations, helping builders reduce the number of additional case fans required while maintaining efficient airflow throughout the chassis. A strategically positioned rear mainboard fan provides direct airflow to the VRM and RAM while helping direct GPU heat away from surrounding components.
