i knew i wasnt going mad, i bought the case last week from overclokers uk and built my machine with 140mm intake fans on the bottom and i had the excat same isue. i just put 2 screw in and it holds it down. i really do like this case and i vertically mounted my gpu which it awesome. i know the say they say you can only put 4 120mm on the side wall but i manged to fit 3 140mm using tie wraps and it works

@ronnyspanneveld8110 as a custom water cooling builder usually. I got rid of the O11DXL cause it felt too small. When you are used to proper full towers, the O11DXL ain't really that big or versatile. This NV7 looks like it would fit a nice Alphacool 360mm monsta in push/pull at the top, while still housing 2 more 360x60mm rads, something that can't be done in the O11DXL. But even still, I'm curious on how will the NV9 will compare to the NV7, but to me, the NV7 clearly looks like a better watercooling case than the O11DXL.

Dunno if they sent you the case but a shame they didn't add the new D30 fans into the build. And that you had to build with older fans. And also the builds I've seen is using 7 fans for exhaust and 5 for pull. That's what I was hoping for. First one that used 140mm in the bottom and the rest 9 fans for exhaust. Would be nice to see if there is a difference with 12 of the D30 fans and in another config. Good review though.

9 exhaust fans and only 3 intake fans is the worst ventilation I've seen in a long time but that's more on the installer than Phanteks. I've heard there are some newer fans that have reverse flow but the M25 fans are conventional. Normally with negative airflow this bad it'll pull from the unfiltered spots but I'm not even sure there's any openings left to draw air into the case. Well there are small areas in the rear to allow dust laden air into the case so I’d say while the case looks nice, it’s functionally a mess. Which highlights a weakness of this case…the lack of filtering. Phanteks, like Lian Li, tout their mesh as a filter but with the Phanteks mesh hole size known on their other cases to be 1mm (as opposed to the larger 1.5mm hole size in the Lian Li mesh screens) I can only assume the mesh on this case is also ineffective as a dust filter as well. Worse now since this is an extreme negative pressure build. The assembler decided to go for looks over functionality. That is going to be one hot dusty box. That is the epitome of a brain fart.

Another gorgeous video. One major consideration for me would be that, unlike cases without side fans, you can't push this case up to a surface like the side of your desk or a wall so you end up with a pretty mammoth case taking up even more space. (Well technically you could push the window side against a surface but what's the point of that?) Also, a question about the number of intake fans vs the number of extraction fans. Why? Surely that will result in a negative internal pressure reducing the effectiveness of the AIO and also sucking dust in through every little crack that isn't covered by a dust filter.
