Computex 2026 – All Major Announcements From Phanteks

Phanteks used Computex 2026 to push hard on a single idea: everything from budget ATX towers to halo workstations should plug into one ecosystem for airflow, monitoring, and smart lighting. The company announced new XT and EX‑series cases, unified fan and AIO lines, a GaN‑based 1200 W PSU, premium X30 cooling, and refreshed Enthoo server chassis, giving PC DIYers a lot to digest.

XT Series Cases, S25 Fans, And AMP GN PSU

On the mainstream side, the new XT M5, XT V5, and XT V5‑LCD are compact ATX gaming cases designed around high airflow and modern component support. The XT M5 goes full mesh with up to ten 120 mm fan mounts and top space for a 360 mm radiator, targeting users who care more about thermals than tempered glass at 69.99 dollars / 69.90 euros. The XT V5 trades that mesh front for panoramic glass on the front and side, plus triple bottom intake fans that feed the GPU directly, while the XT V5‑LCD adds a 7‑inch system‑monitoring LCD tied into Phanteks’ Nexlinq software at $109.99.

Backing those cases, the new S25 unified fan family comes in 120, 240, and 360 mm single‑frame variants starting at 7.99 dollars / 7.90 euros. They’re built as seamless multi‑fan frames with ARGB lighting, regular and reverse airflow options, and speeds up to 2,000 RPM, aimed at simplifying radiator and case installs. The Glacier One 360S25‑SE AIO leans into that single‑frame design too, pairing a 360 mm radiator and large copper cold plate with S25 ARGB fans and a single‑cable install path, with LGA 1700/1851 and AM5 support at $79.99.

Powering the high end, the AMP GN 1200 W PSU debuts as a GaN‑based, high‑efficiency unit with a more compact shell and Nexlinq USB integration for real‑time telemetry, including live wattage and efficiency readouts on the Nexlinq app or compatible display hardware. Pricing is still to be announced, but this one is clearly aimed at next‑gen high‑power builds that want tighter monitoring without moving to a separate power monitor.

X30 Cooling And Glacier One 360X30‑LCD

At the premium end of cooling, Phanteks’ X30 fan series extends the unified‑frame idea with a 30 mm‑thick, aluminum‑wrapped design in single, dual, and triple‑fan frames. The X30 focuses on both performance and aesthetics: diffused ARGB, low vibration, and a single‑cable setup, with regular and reverse airflow versions starting at $19.99 for 120 mm and running up to $59.99  for 360 mm frames or $69.99 for a reversed “starter kit.”

Those fans show up on the Glacier One 360X30‑LCD, a Q4 AIO that mates a 360 mm radiator and X30 fans with a large 6‑inch 1480×720 IPS LCD on the pump block. Through Nexlinq, builders can push system telemetry, custom animations, or media to that display, turning the cooler into a centerpiece while retaining broad Intel and AMD socket support. The 360X30‑LCD is set to launch at $179.99.

EX‑Series Cases And Enthoo Workstation Servers

The biggest architectural swing is the new EX‑series. Instead of traditional front-to-back forced air layouts, Phanteks pitches the EX-series as a “modern system architecture” built around compartmentalized airflow and natural convection. The EX6 and EX6 MAX flagship towers use separate airflow zones for CPU, GPU, and PSU, plus a side‑mounted fan dedicated to cooling the motherboard, VRMs, and M.2 storage, so each major component gets fresh, non‑recirculated air. The EX6 adds premium aluminum panels and tempered glass; the EX6 MAX layers on a 10‑inch 1600×720 LCD, integrated 90‑degree custom AIO cooling, X30 fans, and a built‑in Nexlinq controller for $329.99, while the base EX6 lands at $159.99.

Below that, the EX5 line brings the same compartmentalized layout to a steel chassis at more accessible prices. The EX5, EX5 PLUS, and EX5 MAX all carve out dedicated fresh‑air paths for CPU, GPU, and PSU while using side‑mounted airflow to support motherboard thermals. All models support high‑end hardware and natural convection layouts; the PLUS adds integrated AIO cooling and improved monitoring, and the MAX tacks on a 6‑inch LCD display, with pricing spanning $109.99 to $229.99.

Finally, on the professional side, Phanteks is updating its workstation/server line with the Enthoo Pro 2 Server V2 and Enthoo Elite Server. Both are fully meshed, all‑metal chassis with SSI‑EEB support, dual‑PSU compatibility, and extensive storage and cooling options. The Pro 2 Server V2 starts at $199.99 with 11 PCI slots and broad cooling support, while the Enthoo Elite Server steps up to $349.99 with 12 PCI slots, support for high‑density storage, optional wheels, and room for up to twenty‑nine 120 mm fans in workstation or server deployments.

Taken together, Phanteks’ Computex 2026 announcements sketch a clear roadmap: more compartmentalized cases, thicker unified‑frame fans, smarter AIOs, GaN‑powered PSUs, and Nexlinq sitting in the middle as the software layer tying cooling, power, and displays into one builder‑friendly stack.
