NZXT H5 Flow RGB, schwarz, Glasfenster

NZXT will mit der H5-Serie kompakte Midi-Tower anbieten, die trotzdem vielseitig nutzbar sind. Mit dem H5 Flow testen wir die Variante, die besonders auf einen starken Luftstrom ausgelegt wurde. Dabei setzt NZXT nicht auf einen horizontalen oder vertikalen, sondern vielmehr auf einen diagonalen Luftstrom.

I’m a long-time fan of the NZXT H-series, having owned a fair few of them after upgrading from my NZXT Phantom to the NZXT H440, remember that classic gaming case? That was nearly 12 years ago that came out! Then H440 I reviewed 10 years ago too… how time flies! But, of course, the H-series lives on with the new H5 Flow RGB promising to be one of their best yet. We actually use its bigger brother, the H7 Flow as our CPU cooler test bench these days, and it’s by far one of the best cases on the market. This is basically the same, but a little more compact, so let’s dive in for a closer look!

The NZXT H5 Flow is a beautiful case that manages to differentiate itself from the many mid-tower enclosures out there. Building on the same general principles as the H510 where its exterior is concerned, the H5 Flow finally manages to modernize the series on several fronts. From a pricing perspective, $95 for a non-ARGB, two fan ATX chassis, some of that price tag is for the unique tooling & design.

If you were considering NZXT's H510 Flow chassis, your thoughts should now immediately move to NZXT's new H5 Flow. Unless you plan on using multiple 3.5-inch drives, the H5 Flow is simply the better case. However, NZXT's asking price is on the high side, especially after considering the fact that users of this case will want two front-mounted fans for additional airflow. There is a lot of competition within this area of the PC market, and a lot of PC cases that are worth considering. However, if you want to buy from NZXT, the H5 Flow is a solid case, albeit one that requires some additional investment.
