NZXT H7 Flow PC Case Review
Up Close with the new NZXT H7 Flow
Up Close with the new NZXT H7 Flow
Starting at the top of the new Hy Flow, we have three USB outputs. Two of these outputs are USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, with the other being a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port. Additionally, we have a headset audio jack and a power switch.
At the front of the RGB version of the H7 Flow we have a F360 RGB Core fan set. For the non-RGB version, there will be three F120Q case fans. This fan/radiator mount is removable for easier fan/radiator installation.
Users of this case can install up to three 120mm or 140mm fans in this location. Alternatively, up to a 420mm liquid cooling radiator can be installed here. That’s great news for anyone who wants to install a large liquid cooling setup inside this PC case.
As mentioned before, this fan/radiator mount is removable. All you need to do is unscrew the two thumb screws towards the top of this PC case. As you can see, there are cable routing holes for fan power/RGB cables.
Top fans
At the top of the new H7 Flow there is space for three 120mm fans or two 140mm fans. Radiator-wise, this case can be used with up to a 360mm liquid cooling radiator. This case is not large enough for a top mounted 420mm liquid cooling radiator.
Bottom Fans
Below we can see the space that the new H7 Flow has at the bottom for three 120mm fans. This setup hides the cables of installed fans, and NZXT’s new F360 RGB Core fan set looks particularly tidy in there.
Below we can see the edge of this case’s PSU shroud. This space would be ideal for displaying some custom artwork, installing a LCD screen, or acting as a shelf to display something else inside your PC case.
Here, we can see that the H7 Flow has seven PCIe slots, and space for a 120mm/140mm fan. Here, we can also see this case’s vertical PSU mount.
NZXT H7 Flow Right Side Panel
Note that the right side panel of the new H7 Flow is not blank, it’s perforated on one side. This is to provide airflow for your power supply. Honestly, this is a strange looking side panel, and I would like to see a place below its perforations to better hide this system’s cables. For most users, this part of the PC case will not be visible, making this a non-issue.
Behind this case’s side panel we have plenty of space for cable management. We have plenty of Velcro tie-downs and mounting areas for up to four 2.5-inch devices. Note that this case has no space for 3.5-inch devices. That means that no large mechanical storage drives can be used with this PC case.
Below we can see how a power supply is mounted inside of this PC case. This case has plenty of space for longer than standard PSUs. That’s great news for anyone who wants to use a higher wattage PSU.
Below is a mounting bay for two 2.5-inch devices. This is a great space to mount some SATA SSDs or controller devices that fit within the 2.5-inch form factor.
Below, you can see where we installed NZXT’s RGB/fan controller inside this case. For this review we did not try hard to manage our cables well, but as you can see, there is plenty of space to do a tidier job than we did.
