NZXT H5 Flow: Full Build

[@kcg795]

I built my system with the H6 Flow and I love it. My brother's been gaming with laptops for over 15 years and now decided he wants a desktop. I'm basically gonna be building him an identical system as mine, but with an H5 Flow. I really like how the H5 Flow is a little bit more conservative. I was also looking at the 2024 version, but I'm just not too fond of it.

[@poweredbychris]

Thank you, and thanks for the sub!

[@JasonBrossa]

You wiped off the CPU cooler and then touched it with your fingers and then applied past in a very strange way. I dollop in the middle has proven to be most effective

[@poweredbychris]

What is proven is the difference is marginal between a couple degrees at best. What's important is full coverage of the IHS which a dollop in the middle doesn't always accomplish, even more so now with these longer cpus from intel. Also, I put the plastic cover over the cold plate before touching it as you can see in the video.

[@suaibakhtar4359]

Is 3 fan gpu supported in this case and does I get all fan pre installed?

Nice build man. I'm going to be upgrading my CPU from 10400f to a 7800x3d in a few days. I picked up an AIO for the 7800x3d and I see a lot of H5 Flow builds mounting the AIOs at the top of the case rather than the front. Is there any reason for that, And if there is should I mount mine on the top instead of the front?

[@poweredbychris]

Hi thank you. You can only mount up to a 240 on top and up to a 280 in front. When you mount in the front you reserve cooler air for the cpu and less for the GPU. On top is more balance and longer lifespan depending on the location of the pump

[@AR5Y]

@@poweredbychris Thanks, I think I'll mount mine on the top then. There probably wont be enough room on the front when I get a 4090 anyway.

[@ZahirKhan-ib2pq]

Do u need the controller for the fans to change the colours?

Great job you did there! It looks so beautiful. I just have an Acer Nitro PC, with useless stuff in there.

@@Tx_Jay_ Yeah sorry man. NZXT kinda jips you on that. Keep in mind you may need the fan/led controller as well if you do go with the rgb fans.

I bought this case and i was wondering what the best place for the aio radiator is. i guess the front right ? it has a 3rd fan blowing fresh air towards the gpu.

[@poweredbychris]

Can't say what's the best but keep in mind the top can only fit up to a 240 rad. The front intake can fit up to a 280. So if you go with the front you can go with the bigger aio.

the front fans are 140

What's the reason behind the 12600k rather than something more recent?
