NZXT H7 Flow (2024) - Leo goes RGB Crazy!

NZXT has given the NZXT H7 Flow a serious overhaul by turning the power supply on its side and opening up the floor of the case to deliver heaps of airflow to your graphics card. In addition we have mesh panels on every surface and the result is a mid-tower case that promises the best cooling in the business along with stylish good looks. Read more here: bit.ly/3XZx5AU

Which Antec case ?

Final system build looked good. Airflow seems strong with this one thanks to the mesh and fan spots

[@DigiClever_]

The white one is really nice surprised I didnt see a few purple accents around it

[@bobsmithson8592]

I actually like the black RGB version of this case. its very understated. Looks like they are using good materials as well, which is a common issue I am seeing lately a lot with new chassis designs - some really poor thin materials on the panels.

[@KitGuruTech]

Yeah I'd agree - white looks best on camera but can't beat a stealthy black build IMO

Great review. Top work as always. Is there a version that comes with 3x 140mm fans? And are the front panel connector cables socketed at the top?

[@KitGuruTech]

That's a no for 140mm fans and as the floor of the case is limited to 120mm I doubt that would be a thing. Don't recall a socket so let's go with 'no' on that front too. Leo

[@parkashakashsongh-uh7fk]

Thats a really nice final build, would use all white fans in it though, but im guessing you only used what NZXT sent for the build and review

Makes sense putting the PSU inside its own mini container inside the case as its not really part of the PC just provides the power.
