Box, Contents & Bundle
On the face of the box, you can easily identify the fan’s version, which in my case is the Black Regular, as there is also a reversed model. Phanteks also features a photo of three fans connected at the face of the box, illustrating the daisy chain option.
The fan’s accessories include the following:
- 1x PWM extension cable 500 mm
- 4x Screw cover corner
- 2x Screw cover bridge
- 5x Fan screws
It is good that Phanteks included a spare fan screw, in case you lose one.

The fan features nice blades, and its build quality is decent. Its hydraulic dynamic bearing is the standard choice for fans designed for chassis cooling, as it offers increased reliability and low bearing noise at slow rotation speeds. Typically, rubber pads are placed at the corners to minimize vibrations and reduce noise output.

The provided PWM extension cable has a length of 500mm, and you will use it, even if you daisy-chain 2-3 fans, since one of them has to be connected to a PWM header. Now, if you want to connect each fan individually, you will use one for each.
Daisy-chaining these fans is not tricky, and the final result looks nice, as the cables are routed and stay within the frames of the fans.
