Combined with the company’s CAM software, the controller gives a range of options, including the lighting, fan speed, and overall setting for all cooling that is hooked into the device. This won't be needed as even the more power-hungry Core i9 and Ryzen 9 processors will only really require a single 240mm or 360mm radiator, making this case ideal for AIO liquid coolers. Compared to the H510 Elite and outgoing H710i, NZXT added a vent to the side panel and redesigned the top panel to help with airflow. I’m sure I’ll be seeing this case in the majority of “Setup Photos” posted across social media for the next few years, and with good reason! It's not an issue that leads to thermal throttling and degraded performance, but it's certainly something to plan around.

Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page. Simple, it goes towards RGB fans, additional fans, tempered glass, and a dedicated fan/RGB controller. There are also a further three fan mounts on the top panel where an additional three blowers with integrated RGB LEDs can be installed.To test this case, I used the same AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, and Asetek-based 360mm AIO cooler setup used inside other PC cases we review here.

He's been involved in technology for more than a decade and knows a thing or two about the magic inside a PC chassis. Cooling-wise, NZXT’s H7 Flow is the clear highlight of the H7 lineup, offering cooling performance levels that are amongst some of the best PC cases that we have tested at low fan RPMs.The H7 Elite also provides plenty of room for even larger video cards, with even the larger GeForce RX 3070 and 3080 cards fitting with room to spare.

While NZXT does not include an RGB and fan controller, it would be easy to install an aftermarket solution and create a light show. The large front fans beyond looking great all lit up, provide great airflow, second only to what we found in our testing of the NZXT H7 Flow, something I did not expect. As good as the H7 looks and as easy as it is to use, there is no getting around the fact that the H7 Flow exists and that it delivered much better thermals.There's not a lot that separates the three cases, aside from weight, included fans, and the front panel. With the H5, NZXT has focused on improving thermal performance and allowing for better cable management, without needlessly changing the overall look. There's plenty of volume inside the H7 Elite for installing even the largest graphics cards and motherboards. This might seem a little lacking, but with multiple NZXT fans able to daisy-chain off one another, the connector count shouldn’t prove much of a hindrance. KitGuru says:The NZXT H7 family has potential, however the performance of the fans and airflow caused your reviewer a fair amount of frustration.
