ATX PSU in Phanteks Enthoo Evolv Shift X case?

[ajh.galloway]

Hi guys,

Piecing together my first build in a decade. I've picked up the Phanteks Evolv Shift X case, and have put in an order for the Siverstone 600W Strider 80 Plus Titanium PSU. I just noticed it is marked as an "ATX" PSU, but the case's manual has "SFX and SFX-L" listed as the correct PSUs....does this mean it won't be compatible? Sorry for a totally newbie question guys, last time I looked at building computers 8800 GTX cards were the thing...totally lost in the modern system components!

Thanks.

ATX is fine, but limited to 160mm. Your PSU is only 150mm so it'll fit, but I'm wondering how much room you'll have to connect cables to it.

Actually, I think it will fit.

Spec sheet for the Evolv Shift X http://www.phanteks.com/Enthoo-Evolv-Shift-X.html

says ATX up to 160mm. And the Silverstone you listed is 5.91" or 150.114mm

So it might fit.

Good point. If you already have the case do some measuring and see how much room is there.
