​@@TheProvokedPrawn Thank you! I've just built the desktop (Motherboard: Rog Strix Z790 Gaming Wifi E, i9-13900k with the Kraken Z73 cooler, 9x Duo RGB Fans) and hit a snag. If the fans on the radiator are connected directly to the pump via the splitter they don't turn on, however if connected (like the rest of the fans) to the NZXT Fan & RGB Hub they do turn on and function as expected. - The RGB on the fans work regardless because they're directly connected to the RGB Hub rather than the pump. - The pump it's self turns on with the display and shows the liquid temperature as 35 degrees - The pump is connected with the breakout cable set and micro-USB as specified in the instructions and is connected to Sata power - Even with just one fan connected to the pump splitter it still doesn't work, leading me to believe it's not an issue of throttled wattage Regardless of whether I plug the pump 3-pin to the aio_pump or cpu_fan or cha_fan headers I still get the same result - the three fans not spinning. I'm completely stumped and am curious as to whether you have any ideas of how to debug/fix this.

Thank you for providing us with one of the finest "How to" videos I've seen to date. I'd like to inquire if you would consider making a "How to" build video around the Asus ProArt Z790 Wireless motherboard along with the AMD 7900XTX for those of us who work with video editing? Also I am currently at a loss as to why one can't use 4 sticks of DDR5 using 128GB or why no one provides DDR5 kit of 2X 64GB DDR5 Dims for a possible solution and thus running the memory at it's rated speed. Again thanks for this video I wish I had seen this first before purchasing NZXT H7 Elite! oh well live and learn btw NZXT H7 Elite is a fine case. Thanks again and continued success to you and your channel.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

I don't think I can meet those specific needs tbh. However, regarding the RAM, DDR5 is still in its early stages and it seems many boards are having trouble supporting DDR5 with four sticks in place or with XMP on or both. It can cause stability issues and even prevent booting. Even with this machine, funnily enough, I could get it to boot with four sticks of 16GB!

What a wonderfully detailed guide, I like that you took the time to go through some of the airflow options :) I have an NXZT H9 Flow on pre-order (should come next week) and will be doing a blackout style build around the 4090 gamerock omni-black. Can you feed any of the cables from the AIO through the motherboard shroud, for a cleaner look? And do you have to be really careful with the 12v power cable for the 40 series cards? I.e. avoiding bending the cable too much?

[@kalkydra]

Great video, looking forward to assemble something similar in specs with the same case. Have a question regarding the installation of the CPU cooler. You did it on the side back panel where originally comes the intake fans. Did you exchange those intake fans to the top? and if so, is this more efficient than leaving original fans and setting the CPU cooling chamber and fans on the top? Cheers!

[@connorromeros102]

I've read a bit about this and the general consensus seems to be it's better to setup CPU radiator with intake fans on the side of the case. CPUs are more sensitive to overheating, so this allows bringing in cool air from outside the case. Yes, the inside of the case will be hotter, but that's what the other fans are for, to help push that hot air back out. If the CPU radiator is at the top instead, then it would likely want to be configured as exhaust instead of intake, as hot air rises we don't want to push it back down. Now the radiator is pulling in hot air from inside the case instead of cool air from outside which will cause cooling performance for the CPU to suffer, even if the inside of the case overall may be cooler.

[@1312noel]

100 bucks for the vertical GPU mount is imo just insane! Should be included when you spend this much on a premium case.

[@Russ_uk]

Great review as always keep thinking of upgrading from my white 5000D airflow but i think i just like change more than its needed but how much extra cooling does side mounting AIO provide over top exhausting ?

[@is0man1]

Great video, i was inspired by you build and built a similar setup but i have the kracken elite 360, amd 7800 cpu, mp700 gen 5, Radeon XFX 24 XFX Radeon RX 7900 XTX 24GB, corsair vengeance rgb 6000 cl30 and asus X670 E. i was dissapointed the krackon elite 360 didnt have the same fans as the case. My only critique of your build is you put to much tension on your cables connected to your motherboard. they need to be a nice smooth curve so it doesn't damage the strands of copper inside. As my old M.O.D electronic instrutor used to say it's wire forming not forcing.

[@blackridingfood]

I think NZXT has regressed by having two cables per RGB fan, and having proprietary RGB connectors. That's like Corsair!

[@Oliver-uh5ze]

Very very VERY helpful video. You have convinced me to buy this one over the H9 Flow. Subscribed. I have a couple of questions, 1) How is your experience so far with this setup? 2) I see you got a 1200W psu in the build. How much power does your system pull at idle and at peek?

Question for you! I plan on getting this case, z73 rgb cooler (Using fans it came with) and getting 4 120 rgb fans (10 total rgb) I know you said that it supports up to 9 fans the controller, but you said that the fans that came with the cooler are Daisey channed. Does that mean that i could use 10 potential fans on that controller if I use the stock fans that come with the z73 cooler? or does the cooler each fan have a rgb header and power header?

Any chance of seeing the setup with a rx6600 eagle trying to see if it block the fans

So can I use all Power Subblies? Because currently I have an Azza 850 Watt Modular Power Subbly?

Hi, I would like to ask you regarding the new Kraken Elite and RGB fans from NZXT. Is there a way to set a custom colour profile in memory? So that I don't need to fire up NZXT CAM every time just for the colour profile.

[@DeniedGamingz]

@6:30 It also controls RGB lighting: 6 or 9 fans though? It powers 9 but the RGB only 6 of them?

[@The-tired-goose]

I just have a question doss it come with the lights on the fans? Because I’m thinking of getting it but I want one that you can see you parts

[@frznembo]

Bravo!

[@Juno-hc3ox]

After months have passed would this pc set up with how the fans are or even possibly a push-pull set up retain heat since the top part of the pc is tempered glass?

[@carzar2524]

Nice build... my parts are on their way home atm. Did you have to use an USB splitter? Also I'm getting 3 fans and a 360 AIO besides the 4 fans with the case. Do you need more splitters for the controller?

[@wilfresconocontent4820]

Quick question, if you do a push pull on the radiator and you use the daisy chain from the aio for the first 3 fans, where do you plug in the additional 3 fans? just into a system fan port on the mb? Great tutorial btw, i'm making a similar build and your vids have helped a ton!

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Hmmm. Ideally you'd want to connect them all to the pump head or to a fan controller. They need to all be controlled in a logical way so they run at the same speed. If 3 are controlled by the pump and 3 by something else then they might have different speeds. You could try fan splitter cables to run them all to the pump head but I'm not sure if 6 fans is too much for those connectors.

[@RNMCCLAIN]

Will the vertical gpu mount have sagging? I have a ASUS ROG STRIX OC 4090; not sure if I need to get a GPU support

[@klausfluegelschwanz6759]

Very nice build, very nice case. The Zotac seems a bit of a stylebreach to me though. (round edges) But never mind that.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Haha. It was what I had to hand. I'd much rather have a white GPU personally but it's not meant to be "look at my machine" just a guide to help people build theirs 👍😉

[@klausfluegelschwanz6759]

I understand. It's one of the reasons for me to stay away from white. A pity really, because the overall esthectics of this build are spot on. Thanks 🖖

[@rcorrea26]

In case you build this with Lian Li Uni fans V2, I mounted my aio with Uni fans at the top and the cpu power cables were touching the fans, It resorted to me mounting my AIO on the side . Those using NZXT fans with a top mounted aio did not have this issue however they were still pretty tight. I still prefer Lian Li 11 Dynamic Evo as you can use any brand of fans and have enough space

[@Kira-wq7eb]

You know you can mount radiator on top of the removable panel and fans underneath it

[@TechnicaX]

Hi, I have the same case and fan setup. What are your NZXT fan settings. Do you use custom fan curves.

[@Ericxxxx219]

Do we need ssd like Kingston for our pc . Also without ssd will it it boot up?

[@lemonadeblue5214]

Very detailed tutorial. However I have some questions if you don't mind to answer :) 1. I'm planning on buying Z73 RGB and stick with the AER fans. Do they need to be plugged separately to RGB headers on the controller like the F120 ? 2. So as I mentioned I would then have 3x AER fans from AIO and 6x F120 DUO from Triple Pack and 1x Default Rear fan from the case itself. Would V2 controller provide enough fan and rgb ports? 3. Is there any downside to vertical mount the GPU instead of horizontal?

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

You can find out more about the fan logic here kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXqzgKdmj6tgrac

[@amrnld]

Great build. Is there a reason why you had the top fans hanging from the transparant tray, rather than putting them on top (same airflow direction). Looks like hanging them under is complicating the cableing of teh fans a bit.

[@SoFancy]

There isn’t enough room to fit them on top of the tray under the top panel

[@xrydan9532]

Hello, I have one question about the aio…is there any difference by pull or push the air through the aio? Because right now I have a setup that my aio is on the top pushing (exhaust) the hot air from de case to outside but I’m about to get a new case where I will have to put the aio on the side like this video and will have to put on pull to get enough cool air on my system .. thank you and keep going! Love your videos! Very useful 🔥👍

[@angelthedoc]

Nice video! I love it. What do you think about setting the AIO fans to extract air instead of putting it in? The radiator on the side seems more aesthetic to me, but the airflow...

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

In my experience it's often better to intake on the radiator to prevent thermal throttling but it depends on the case and the other fans and where you've put the AIO. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYeoiZdjjNVrfLs

[@angelthedoc]

@@TheProvokedPrawn I'm going to build h9 elite with 7800x3d, nzxt kraken elite 360 ​​and rtx 4090. Full gaming

[@angelthedoc]

2x140 below, the radiator 360 lateral, the rear fan and 3x120 above. I'm going to see the video you indicated. Thank you again

[@javelinpsd]

I have read in many places that the radiator pipe connection should be at the bottom, otherwise the air bubbles will stay on the top of the radiator and at the pipe connection, making a sound like an aquarium. Why did you finally decide to place the aio radiator this way?

[@Operator_Waffle]

so im gonna get a custom prebuilt from NZXT and im getting a I9 14900k and a 4090, the cooler i got is the kraken 360 elite and 2 F140 duo rgb will that be good enough for cooling?

[@sir1junior]

If you take off the bracket, could you fit a EATX motherboard in there?

[@gurpindersinghmuttar]

I am plannig to get h9 elite in a week but the thing is i really like the lian li latest infinity fans will the mixture of both nzxt fans and lian li fans look good in this case

[@keebz2176]

Is there a reason why your 3 radiator fans are in Exaust ? Is it better for temps ?

[@Osmosis909]

In my haste to order all my PC parts…I went and ordered the new Corsair Shift PSU with the connectors on the side of the PSU not thinking about placement in the case. Just checked how you have to mount the PSU with the fan towards the side of the case…does that mean that the Corsair shift PSU won’t be able to be fitted in this case due to how they have the power cables on the side of the unit? So they will effectively be coming out of the top of the PSU? I have no idea if you can even mount this PSU on its side, i.e. does that mean it’s incompatible with the new H9 cases?

[@boastyy]

I believe the shift will work in this case, just plug the connectors into the psu, with the psu out of the case. Then fit the psu into the case with the connections at the top and the fan near the back of the case as normal.

[@Valhallaxp]

Got the same case , i connected the Kraken z53 240mm to the one usb 2.0 header (msi mag x570s carbon max ) with the lcd screen lit up, the 6fans (120mm 3 up top, two on the kraken) and 2 140mm at the bottom , are static white, the NZxt controller and the rgb controller for the 3 f rgb 120mm core fan are connect via a nzxt internal usb hub , but the cam is not showing the fans ,just the kraken , otherwise this is a good case !!

[@irvindeleon7215]

Any recommendations for sata cables? I’m might end up using 2 fan controllers

[@mouseXshot]

ok i need help! i tried this build but when i mount the gpu vertical it presses against my ram what do i do

[@derFX]

Thanks

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Welcome

[@seath105]

Where did you installed the default fan (the fan offert with the case) ? I mean If plug it to the port on nzxt cam it's not detected I mean the fan is runing but I can't see the rpm it's like 0 rpm

[@jessecool561]

After seeing this build, i just ordered the H9 flow in white for my next build. Just a quick question about that AIO orientation. Isnt the Rad hoses at the top a no no? Shouldnt the rad hoses be at the bottom to prevent any air sitting at the top ports?
