STILL Worth Buying in 2024? - NZXT H5 Flow Review

[@RyanSMiles123]

I like that angled fan! the case looks really sleek

[@RotNcroch]

I have the h5 flow and my 4070 has never went over 64c. Solid case overall. I’ve seen some h5 flows that have solid slots for the expansion slots in the back but mine came with vented ones which help for sure.

[@TechHunterOfficial]

That's weird, I wonder why yours has vented ones and mine doesn't. Unless it was something they changed recently?

[@Kaalpurush_Katha]

SIR I want to upgrad My Proc to i9 13th Gen. Can 240 mm AIO Handel this powerful processor my cabinet H5 FLOW - non RGB as it dont support 360 mm aio Please Reply Sir. Thanks in advance.

[@jamestyneham704]

Did you buy additional fans for the front?

[@RotNcroch]

@@jamestyneham704 it came with 2 f140 core Rgb fans in the front panel.

[@RotNcroch]

@@TechHunterOfficial I’m guessing it is a difference between the h5 flow and h5 flow rgb. Mine came with 2 140 fans in the front. Why they don’t just put the vented slots in as standard is weird for sure

[@johnrussell9263]

I just got the H5 flow RGB since it’s on sale for $80 and comes with 2x140mm rgb front fans, 120mm bottom angled fan and 120mm back fan. Going to install a kraken elite 240mm AIO and I’m sure the thermals won’t be any issue. Buying a case with only one fan like the original H5 flow is crazy unless you are buying additional fans to manage airflow

[@TechHunterOfficial]

The current price of the older RGB version is sooooooooo good right now! Great choice to grab the older model now!

[@johnrussell9263]

@@TechHunterOfficial yeah was think of the H6 but it’s $55 more plus I’d need to buy 2 more fans for the bottom. Don’t really need a huge case

[@jyynarpalisenniemi6242]

@@TechHunterOfficialwould you recommend buying the old one right now or waiting for the new one for at least a month as there’s none available in my country right now

[@jordanarcher6790]

​@jyynarpalisenniemi6242 I bought it for a build recently and it's performed really well. I like the cable management system as well and the solid bottom makes it Easy to put in a GPU sag brace if you need one. Get good thermal results as well with a Ryzen 7 7700x and a RX 7800 XT. I'd recommend an AIO set to exhaust out the top to get more hot air out. Doesn't really affect cpu temps much

[@schoolproject3356]

What if you remove all the expansion slots? Would it give better temps?

[@Neophyte101]

Hi there, thank you for making this video for us to watch, it was a good watch ! I myself ordered a pc that is being assembled by a company. Ordered the NZXT H5 Flow RGB wich has 4 fans installed that come with that version. Then i saw that these pre- installed fans have only 3 pin connectors. So i ordered all new 4 pin fans to replace and build in :D Keep this in mind for anyone buying this case.

[@TechHunterOfficial]

Which fans did you order ☺?

[@Neophyte101]

@@TechHunterOfficialI ordered 2x 140mm NZXT F140 Core rgb for the front, and 2x F120 Core fans.. one for the back and one for the bottom at an angle, also RGB in the color white. I did this because my new NZXT Kraken Elite 240 RGB White aio also comes with the same fans. They are pretty much all rounder fans, so good to use for case and radiators. The core fans can spin at higher RPM’s and with the 4-pin controlable. Also ordered the NZXT N7 Z790. It’s going to be an all white build 😊.

[@TechHunterOfficial]

@@Neophyte101 that sounds amazing, that build will look stunning!!!

[@Neophyte101]

@@TechHunterOfficialDo you happen to know if I need a controller from NZXT to be able to adjust the fan speed and rgb color in NZXT Cam software in windows. Or does my mainboard have enough fan headers to do this without the need of controller ? 😅 That’s 4 case fans and 2 on the AIO.

[@clickbait0190]

1:18 In the classic layout, with intake at the front, GPU shroud at the bottom, radiator at the top and exhaust at the back, the air from the front is simply not enough to cool the GPU. That's why the GPU sucks in partially preheated air from the direction of the CPU and unfiltered air through the expansion slots. Because the latter isn't possible here, the bottom fan was added. But since in the classic layout - not only in this case - the air isn't supposed to escape at the bottom back, the solid layout doesn't "trap air"!

[@lincolns_shrekxy2952]

I got it bc it’s only like 60-80 rn and I like how it looks

[@Phillip4six]

Thorough review, thanks man!

[@evo161aor3]

Have you tested with a 2x140 fan in the front and without a GPU fan at the bottom? I was wondering what the effect of the GPU fan on the temperature is?

[@Coronenia]

Hi so after a few months I’m still choosing either h5 flow or Corsair 4000d airflow , can you or someone help me with it I want the best temperature

[@TechHunterOfficial]

If you equip them with good fans I believe the 4000D would perform better and is a bit better to work with

[@mrsisig7443]

Tnx for the video, would you say the Corsair 3000D airflow is better?

[@TechHunterOfficial]

@@mrsisig7443 I would not, Corsair 4000D > 3000D any day of the week. This older model of the H5 is a better quality case than the 3000D and is currently seeing some great deals on the regular and RGB versions.

[@mrsisig7443]

@@TechHunterOfficial tnx for the reply mate.

[@MidnightToker24]

I wanted this case but the price kept going up. Ended up getting a Lian Li 216 instead cause it was on massive sale. I put two 140mm fans bottom and replaced the stock rear fan and mounted a second exhaust at the top.

[@Silverlance988]

Hey, great video, thanks. I was wondering because I'm not sure I understood and I'm planning to buy - can you fit both an M.2 SSD and an HDD inside?

[@TechHunterOfficial]

You can install only 1 HDD inside by default ☺

[@biliasfn]

yo nice vid very informative, may I ask what are the fans you have in the front?

[@TechHunterOfficial]

I think they're in the description, they're Bequiet light wings 140mm fans ☺

Hey man I know this is a late comment but would I be able to install 120mm fans on the front? Or do they have to be 140mm. Thanks!!

[@TechHunterOfficial]

They can be 120mm :)

[@Ramon_92]

Im upgrading my old crappy airflow H510 with this one mate any tips and tricks on how to move my entire PC to the new case ? Im using a 120MM AIO at the moment but gonna upgrade it to a 240 MM AIO .

[@TechHunterOfficial]

@@Ramon_92 No real tips, just take your time. Disconnect everything one at a time, remember where everything goes. Feel free to remove the 120mm and then install the 240mm outside of the case. Plug in your 8pin cpu cable before you screw the radiator in. That's about it ☺

[@Ramon_92]

I just got this case on sale. And the build quality is well below what I thought it was going to be. The Montech I got for my game pc is much higher.

[@RavenDestiny]

I'm definitely going to invest in a high quality fan for the angled fan mount, curious to see if anyone has tested a high quality fan there in combination with front fans and if it provides some sort of benefit at the price point the H5 sits at.

[@TechHunterOfficial]

@@RavenDestiny Yeah I think it needs it. I find it curious that nzxt has already ditched the idea with the new h5

[@RavenDestiny]

@@TechHunterOfficialyeah it’s very interesting, I haven’t seen any new H5’s in Australia unless I order from Amazon but it works out slightly more expensive with shipping. I think I’ll get the old h5 test it with a high quality fan and post the results if anyone is interested.

Yeah a before and after would be cool. I can pin your comment with your results. Good luck 🤞🏻!

[@razorwireclouds5708]

I genuinely don't understand reviewers complaining about cases that don't come with every fan slot pre-filled with the appropriate-sized fan. I especially don't understand bemoaning temps when they've only left the 2 or 3 120mm factory-fitted fans. Nobody buys these cases without also buying proper intake and exhaust fans.

[@TechHunterOfficial]

I agree, a lot of people are buying these cases and adding their own fans later. But there are other case options which include more fans or better fans for similar price points. Why not praise one company like Bequiet for using high quality off the shelf fans in their cases, but not call out other companies that make great fans and fit their cases with the worst fans they make? I did also fill in the front with 2x 140mm fans though to see the differences though...

[@razorwireclouds5708]

@@TechHunterOfficial An H5 flow is about €90 here in Berlin. The only BeQuiet case at that price point is the PURE BASE 600. Given the optical drive slots and HDD trays, I think we can both agree the 600 is hideous a pile of scrap designed for yesteryear's PCs. Anything higher tier like the DARK BASE 701 or SILENT BASE 802 are well over €150. Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending NZXT here - their shitty stock fans are genuinely worthless and shouldn't even be included. However, you are getting a lot of smart design, high quality materials and genuinely high-end build quality. So I'm just saying maybe your expectations are a bit too high and that it would make more sense to measure case temperatures once you've fitted every fan slot with a proper fans. In any event, I liked and subscribed. Keep going, m8 💛 *adendum: having solid PCI expansion slot covers helps rather than hinders airflow.

[@TechHunterOfficial]

I appreciate it. Ironically the German company sells their 500 FX for about £120 ish in the UK. Which includes their top of the range light wings fans (I've got one in for review soon 🤞🏻) we'll see how the rest of it holds up though. I get where you're coming from. Though if you replace every terrible fan with an amazing noctua fan then it's harder to determine if the case is performing poorly or the noctua fans are overcompensating. I guess in the future I'd like the idea of both. Here's your factory scenario (stock) and here's what you could have (6+ 140/120 top of the line noctua/arctic/phanteks fans) It's definitely something I've toyed with and might look to add in the future for sure. Appreciate these comments that test my brain and my methods :)
