This Case put a Fan WHERE?

Trying different fan locations in a PC case is always a good idea but this one does it differently. With the NZXT H5 Flow new might not be better.

Feels like ages since I've seen a new Dmitry case review! Nobody does them like you do. You're the only person I've seen mention the build quality and have actual criticism for this besides the small front fan.

[lukke]

Finally the review i was looking for! literary nobody else talked about the flimsiness of this case and the build quality in this much detail! Thank you so much!

I have the H5 flow and inside I’ve got a 14900K and an Rtx 4070 ti. The temps while overclocking my cpu to 6.2GHz on 2 cores and 5.7Ghz throughout temps stayed well beblow 70 degrees even under full load. As for the front panel I can agree it’s a little annoying as my 280mm aio and gpu kiss each other. testing the quality of the case by brutally shaking it is kind of stupid because PCs are not meant to be moved like that to begin with. For it just sitting in place the quality isn’t bad. Don’t hesitate to buy the H5 flow because of this review, it’s honestly a really good case. I’m sure you can get something better however if your a fan of NZXT’s minimalist look it’s a great case.

This is one of the most satisfying case reviews I've ever seen. These companies need called out on things like this. They just don't seem to be listening to what builders want or need like they should. Their R&D has no excuse for some of the BS that keeps showing up on new cases.

[rip.tear.]

This is why Hardware Canucks is my favourite YT channel for reviewing cases. So much more critical thinking than other channels. I think i'm going for a 4000D/5000D for my next case.

I love mine, and that toilet fan works really good!

[Nile]

I remember when my S340 just felt like next level build quality. The side panels were so thick and heavy, really impressing back then.

[deadsec]

I got the H510 Flow recently and im happy with the quality, performance, looks and value for money. I'm glad i got it before they stop production.

[urk]

I remember reading somewhere once that NZXT is a budget brand pretending to be premium, and this case definitely gives off that vibe

[Weezedog]

You can usually add 1/32” or 1/16” thick neoprene rubber strips to the side of the case where it meets the side panel to take up that slop/gap that allows the side panel to rattle. I’ve done it on numerous cases where the side panel doesn’t fit super tightly.

[mattketner]

The NZXT H510i is still my favorite case I’ve owned and built in. Even if it’s a bland hot box, it’s still so damn clean looking to stare at and show off your components.

[gunturprayitna]

Aaah the good Starlord is back... thanks for the review

[NorthernLaw_]

I gave up with NZXT a long time ago, my first case was NZXT and I got their liquid cooler, I have since realized what products are the best and rebuilding with a Corsair H510i Liquid cooler and a Corsair 5000T case, the quality and looks and airflow are miles ahead. Will stick with the Corsair ecosystem now

[duperrec]

Best case reviewer on YouTube! Thank you for your review!

[Demorthus]

My NZXT H440 taught me, and taught me well- aesthetics & a cool waterloop means nothing if the case itself is suffocating even pressure-optimized fans with aggressive speeds. It just bottlenecks the rest of the build itself for thermals. Go mesh. Always Mesh. If you had an H440 on hand I'd love to see a comparison video and you can view just how bad it used to be (it'd top the chart of everything else in this video easily) lmao, still they're bad now with their front glass panels, but with offerings that allow mesh- it's atleast a lazy albeit alternative solution for a case manufacturer.

[chrism]

For me the H5 flow did reduce GPU temps, so I guess it depends on the GPUs cooling solution.

[KeeseToast]

Ever since they released it, i was really hoping for a H510 Flow with 240mm AIO support on the top. The build quality is truly a shame though, because otherwise I really love this case. I also really don't mind the lack of fans. I would actually prefer buying cases without any fans and just add my own to it.
Thanks for the review, although I don't understand why noone tests this case with all fans installed. Are most people really gonna use a case like this in stock configuration? I mean a pack of 5 Arctic P12 fans costs me 25€ here in Germany

[taps]

I just bought this case and I love it …. Added a bunch of fans I’ll survive…

[korezako]

Damn, Dmitry with some harsh truth for H5 flow. Need more like this!
