Dimensions & fit specifications

External dimensions575 × 280 × 615 mm (D × W × H); full-tower form factor.
MotherboardsE-ATX up to 280 mm wide, ATX, microATX and Mini-ITX.
GPU / CPU cooler / PSUGPU up to 490 mm long and 205 mm wide; CPU cooler height 205 mm; PSU length up to 210 mm.
RadiatorsTop, side and bottom support radiators up to 420 mm; rear supports up to 280 mm. The NV9 is designed for three 420 mm radiators plus one 280 mm radiator simultaneously, subject to fit in the official layout.
Drive baysSix 2.5-inch positions and three 3.5-inch bays; two 2.5-inch SSDs can share the specified 3.5-inch cage positions (24 mm HDD height limit when SSDs are installed).
ExpansionEight horizontal slots and up to three-slot vertical GPU support; riser is separate.

Compatibility & preservation

NV9 radiator totals are layout-dependent: test tank length, side radiator thickness (up to 154 mm-wide assembly in Phanteks' spec table), fans, tube turns, RAM and motherboard heatsinks together. Its 210 mm PSU limit is modest for a full tower, so confirm modular-cable clearance as well.

  • Preserve airflow covers, radiator brackets, drive cage, GPU bracket and all accessory fasteners.
  • Measure GPU width and power plug clearance as well as card length; published limits do not account for every power-cable bend.
  • Verify case SKU before using an NV9 MKII or revision-specific manual.
