    EX5 MAX
    THE CUSTOM SHOWCASE

    EX5 MAX builds on the EX5 PLUS with a stunning 6-inch display behind the glass side panel, enabling real-time system monitoring and personalized visuals.

    It features an integrated custom ARGB 360 AIO with hidden 90-degree tubing for a cleaner look and easier assembly. Its chambered airflow design isolates the CPU, GPU, and PSU to provide non-recirculating fresh air for cooler, more stable performance.

    The compartmentalized layout features a rear-mounted cooling fan for the mainboard, VRM, and SSD, a tempered-glass GPU showcase, and ATX-standard compatibility.

    • Pre-installed custom 360 AIO liquid cooler with 6" LCD Display.
    • The 6" LCD Display can be personalized to your own taste with the Nexlinq app.
    • The unique compartmentalized design offers each component direct fresh air.

    The Phanteks EX5 MAX is a black ATX mid-tower PC case with a built-in 360mm AIO cooler featuring a 6-inch LCD, designed for builders who want an integrated cooling and display setup with less need to select cooling components separately.

    Recommended For

    • Gaming-PC builders who want the hardware to be part of the desk setup: the GPU has its own display window, and the EX5 Max adds integrated ARGB lighting and a 6-inch screen.
    • DIY builders who value an unusual, easy-to-work-in case and expect ordinary gaming or desktop workloads rather than pushing every component to its thermal limits; a professional review found the divided cooling zones worked reasonably well in normal use.
    • Builders who prefer a pre-integrated 360 mm liquid-cooling setup and a built-in screen over choosing and mounting those parts separately; the EX5 Max combines the AIO and display in the case.

    Real-World Use Scenarios

    • For a gaming PC that doubles as a desk showpiece, the EX5 MAX lets you display custom visuals or system readings on its built-in screen while the glass panels show off the GPU and lighting.
    • When assembling a new PC and aiming for a tidy interior, the pre-installed 360 mm AIO and concealed tubing reduce cooler-installation steps and help keep the visible build less cluttered.
    • For gaming sessions with a discrete graphics card, the case’s divided layout is designed to direct airflow around separate components; a hands-on build video presents it as a showcase-focused design rather than an all-out performance case.
    • If you often connect fast external storage or peripherals at your desk, the front USB-C port provides a convenient connection point without reaching around to the back of the PC.
    • For a PC that may be moved to a LAN event or another room, the included GPU support bracket is intended to help keep the graphics card secured during transport; the system should still be handled carefully.
