NZXT shows the beautiful H7 Case and new Fans - Computex 2024

[@bigpoppa1234]

Can these cases run an AI system?

[@chrisburke1672]

Hmm, I'm not sure. It doesn't have a massive ai sticker on it so I am personally going to err on the side of caution. Vote with your wallet, how are we supposed to know these systems can run ai unless they say ai on them.

[@jlelelr]

it cant run apple intelligence

[@Lucatoni22]

I have an AI electricity plan and an AI thermal paste

[@marsMayflower]

you'll need an AI cpu to use the AI features on these cases

[@hectorgramajo9271]

Not sure what you mean so instead of making fun of you I'm going to ask you to be more specific.

[@hafenauer]

You mentioned you never had a case fan fail. I never had a case fan fail on me completely, but I had a couple which became very noisy and annoying after a few years.

[@basshead.]

Same. Very common with Arctic fans.

[@flamixin]

Yes and they are usually out of production by the time it breaks. Very annoying

[@MiningdragonLP]

I had one where the bearing broke and it wouldn't turn anymore

[@PHamster]

It’s Ai powered! Ai-rflow

[@ChaitanyaShukla2503]

Absolutely funny how just a few years back NZXT CEO was loudly claiming they will never make airflow oriented/mesh fronted cases and would be sticking with hotboxes.

[@spyder256]

I honestly wish they would bring back the Phantom style

[@lackinggravitas6751]

Those unibody 3x fans make something you almost never do (building a PC) a tiny bit easier at the cost of any flexibility for future builds. I've taken fans that were next to eachother on one build and split them up in later builds.And fans DO break sometimes, so you'll have to throw out all of it if something goes wrong with any of them.

[@Hephera]

Yeah i think roman is a bit out of touch with the average consumer here. he builds a LOT of pcs, so the convenience factor matters more to him. and he has access to basically any parts and components he wants so i doubt he's reusing the same case fans for like a decade across multiple different builds. ive had case fan bearingss fail. fanblades snap, and fan leds burn out. because i reuse my fans on every new pc build. they last a long time but if you're using them every day for a decade they all eventually fail. I have absolutely no interest in tripling the failure rate of my fans just for the "convenience" of not having to screw in a few screws once every like 5 years when i build a new pc

[@fabrb26]

Those tall feet and effective gpu fans in addition with exhaust and top 140mm fan capability may be what i wanted to upgrade my H5 Flow, too bad they didn't made it a bit wider to accommodate 140mm at the bottom too

[@BerserkingKantus]

I want to see this design with the controller built into the case and the fans simply snap to magnets where they are lined up to be wirelessly powered.

[@--_DJ_--]

People usually are against being tied to a single option for something like a fan

[@J-B-Good]

Hope those fans come to market very soon. I'm really interested in trying it on Arctic liquid freezer III 360 Ai O

[@TKIvanov]

Almost exactly what I was thinking!

[@MotoCat91]

Dude opening this with an NZXT Phantom was quite the nostalgia trip.. that was the first case I ever bought back in 2011 when I transitioned from laptops to custom built desktops

[@quirkyMakes]

airflow is great...As long as its directed. just having holes everywhere is not enough. My current case is like that. full of holes. I actually had to ghetto-fy it a little and use duct tape to close off some of the case in order to bring the temps down. All in all I'm glad to see NZXT is coming to market with some decent hardware.

[@CallMeTeci]

Still using an old Phantom 630 Big Tower (Also looking kinda "Star Wars"-ish, but in gunmetal grey + with an MSI sticker on the front several people already asked me where i got that Porsche case from. lol) and that thing still slaps and is so incredibly nice to work in, bc of its size. Fits 200mm fans into, making it silent af, has an additional fan at the side for the GPU, no RGB circus, a simple switch for the fans and a shit load of modular cages and extensions. So... say what you want about those 10 year old cases, but NZXT did some really good ones back then as well. Tho im thinking about modding the plasticy Front and Top panel myself at some point.

[@getyerspn]

Imho they went from distinctive designs like the old phantom series to a square box .. that looks like all other square boxes.... Glad they embraced the mesh through.

[@bikedoc4145]

I love the 3 in one fans and they for sure need to make matching 120mm, or 140mm singles. People will not use them for that one reason. Also the recessed look in the bottom where the fans fit flush is so clean and a look I wish more what do

[@simoSLJ89]

New MANTA please! An updated ATX 2024 Manta would be great. I know it was called The Whale :D but I loved it! A bigger Full ATX updated 2024 design would be great, with more airflow.

[@lesliegrace8360]

Great work NZXT! Nice AI o.

[@floodo1]

im vibin with that case / fan combo

[@MichelBertrand]

Reverse blades would also be nice for the bottom unibody triple fan 👍

[@edplat2367]

I had a phantom 630. Unfortunately, I didn't use it for a long time and left it in a humid place and it rusted. It is way better than the stuff we have now imo.

[@tacticalcenter8658]

4:49 don't do that.

[@DudokX]

lol

[@TheSlowDude]

I still have my phantom :-) What a beautiful case, now running fractal torrent compact 😂

[@blazab1]

I've got to disagree with the triple fan idea, yeah maybe motors don't fail but I had 4 argb fans loose 1 or 2 colors (on single LED), due to overheating I suspect. But also been fixing PCs for friends and I had to replace like 8 fans due to motor failure (12-15 PC fixed)

[@_xone]

Fans don't die...? I guess I was unlucky, but in my last build four out of the six fans I bought for it had to be RMA'd. Three different models from two manufacturers 😬

[@Dexx1s]

But he clarified right after. Usually, they're DOA, die soon after you start using them, or they last a decade.

[@ThePentosin]

Which fans specifically?

[@_xone]

@@Dexx1s Yeah you're right, I just didn't think Roman's response really answered the issue of waste. It's been my experience that manufacturers just send replacements for low value parts like this, they don't repair them (Noctua even forces you to physically damage its fans and send photographic proof as part of the RMA process!). It then falls to the customer to dispose of waste responsibly, not all do, and you also have the problem of e-waste not always being 100% recyclable

[@_xone]

@@ThePentosin 1 x Noctua NF-A15 140, 1 x Fractal Dynamic X2 GP-180, 2 x Fractal Dynamic X2 GP-14 (guess which case lol)

[@Dexx1s]

@@_xone The way of handling it is realizing that the failure rate is extremely low. If 2% of them die, it's negligible, given at some point, every fan will die. You could argue that this way is better since it's using less material and packaging than 3 separate fans and those 3 are 100% going to die some day, creating more waste than this 3-fan combo. Most times, there's just no way to alleviate all negatives.

[@sirius4k]

I have definately fans died over time, I have replaced AIO, GPU, case fans. What I think is happening is that over time, everything in the case gets dusty and when I use a compressor to blow out the dust in the case, the dust gets forced into the fans and I'm not going to remove the fans beforehand because those are dusty as hell as well and I'm not going to clean them separately. It happens rarely, but it does definately happen. I have SO much dust, it's like living in the farmhouse in the Interstellar movie. Loosely related, I'm currently looking for table lamps that don't have integrated LED lamps that can't be replaced, because I don't want to throw the entire lamp away because of a faulty LED. I wouldn't buy this multifan thing either for the same reason.

[@--_DJ_--]

I just went to change the bulb in my kitchen ceiling light only to find out it is an LED ring that doesn't look like it is replaceable. So dumb.

[@sirius4k]

@@--_DJ_-- Exactly. What a waste.

[@ulamss5]

i cannot believe how small those fan hubs are WOW

[@cjm5002]

2:42 on the screen in the back is what I am most focused on... non-proprietary rgb!?!?!

[@SashimiSteak]

Der8auer will you be trying to get Hetzner to take AI out of their Ad script?

[@osamely_varan]

AInaut thermal transfer solution when?

[@dogoku]

I thought fans evolved away from having specialised airflow vs static pressure and just have something in between

[@justwinclassic]

Mate. You need to do a collab with Major Hardware as he has done *amazing* fan reviews and studies

[@ominence9761]

Phantom was great with a terrible quality top panel connector/controller module. Still have mine in red.

[@AuDiGo6]

NZXT PSUs were Seasonic in the past

[@TheDeeGeeNL]

When is your AI Contact Frame releasing?

[@flamixin]

2:46 The 3 in 1 fan will be a problem after 2-3 years. These kind of rgb fans are weak asf. Three of my Corsair fans were whining and it’s impossible to find matching replacements anymore..

[@BudgetGamer92]

I've had a Corsair AF120 fan die on me within 3 months... as well as 3 of their AIOs... Every company is looking for ways to save money and make the changes look like an upgrade. Arctic is doing well, as well as my EK stuff. I'm never buying anything Corsair and can't wait until it all dies so I can change everything out.

[@hastesoldat]

Is it possible to mount 3x140 fans in the front? (or maybe 2x 140?) Edit: Just found the case on the nzxt site. Looks like 3x140 fans in front is possible! :3 (this is a good candidate to finally upgrade from my h440)

[@Dexx1s]

There's no way they skipped over the H510! On the product page for that case, they themselves call it their best selling case. Now they're trying to hide their world renowned hotbox?

[@markwallace2487]

After 5 years one of antec fans hub is going. Makes a terrible noise!

[@Saiklohit]

Its time to bring back the giant plastic gamer cases

[@gagarin777]

hehe I still have in storage ATop Z-Alien - full aluminium in black with blue lighting :) In 2002 full alu case was not even $100 (including 500W PSU).

[@shanksisnoteventhatstrongbruh]

i hate that i you cannot install a 360mm rad at the bottom with the fans above it, such an oversight 🤦‍♂

[@xWaxxy]

What are these triple unibody fans called?

[@maxpower7504]

Single frame double or triple fan

[@bigpoppa1234]

Your voice is starting to go out

[@jwdickieson]

Damn it, NZXT where is the Zero 2...

[@CIKLOPA]

The problem would not come with the reputable brands for the fans. The problem will come when the cheap of the cheap pick up on that fad of the monofans. That is when fans will start failing in a 1 out of the 3, or 2 out of the 3, and so on over some time.

[@Terry-cw9ty]

I don't understand why fan manufacturers can't include a voltage polarity switch onboard, this would make it unnecessary to purchase reverse blades for esthetics & lower SKUs.

[@That_Stealth_Guy]

The fan blade design is not optimized for airflow by simply rotating the fan in the opposite direction by switching polarity. Sure it will move some air, but no where near the performance level it does as designed.

[@Dexx1s]

I saw a video that mentioned, as an aside, why those don't make sense. A big part of it was that the blades are made to effectively and efficiently go one way, and having your fans be underwhelming when reversed made no sense. Add in the complexity of adding in a motor for it and it's just not worth it over having two different SKUs, each dedicated to one direction. I also doubt the sales for reverse blade fans are that high either but the Swafan implementation works just fine.

[@TheDarksideAgent]

lucky to never have fans die on you....guess you never used lian li unifan v1's...2 of mine failed, and the replacements also failed after 5 months

[@soniccdx]

the 360 fan item ,kinda resembles a similar product made by coolermaster sometime back (masterfan 360r)

[@superflyguy4488]

Those fans need AI driven aRGB

[@nicnl255]

ARE THOSE AI FANS OR NOT

[@408civettethreat]

I can’t stand how company’s want to milk new designs of products. Knowing damn well that they could make serviceable fans like u can buy now, they are so greedy that they want to make non serviceable version first which will make for more e trash and then in a year from now consider it a new product with serviceable fans for more money. Marketing deserve to drown 💩

[@kevint2555]

These fans are not new, Cooler Master did this a few years ago, they sucked then, and they look like they will suck now. The impellers use old tech, and are cheap.

[@roboman2444]

Those fans look clean. ... do they come in noctua colors?

[@Mark_Williams.]

They go to all the effort of making a single triple fan unit but then ruin the aesthetics by not making reverse blade options? 😂

[@attepatte8485]

I want a case that is all about air cooling

[@Dexx1s]

Sooooo, most of them?

[@markissboi3583]

Fans they collect dog & cat fur ok so u ave a few hamster's same Hr fluffin stuff clean your pc its why it runs hotter its not a chicken incubator @O IDK about expensive PCs just to watch youtube we have no Ai or intelligence

[@Phyb3r]

no BTF ? come on

[@EmoEmu]

AI fans

[@TooliusTech]

No Ai in the fans and case.. Fail

[@josuad6890]

huh, kinda a boring one. the new thing is just a unibody fan and a 1500W PSU, that's it.

[@ronnyspanneveld8110]

2010 yeah i remember that when they ripped off Chieftec and made a case :P 3 in one frame ripped off MasterFan SF360R from 2019....

[@Tw33zD]

Lol rants about AI then next promotes advert containing AI

[@sirius4k]

AI made him do it.

[@OneCosmic749]

So it only took NZXT an eternity to design a half usable case? I always thought NZXT cases are designed by a 5 year old kid.
