Meet the NZXT H9 Elite! We asked for the H9 Flow, but NZXT sent us this one for some reason. It looks great but is extremely pricey. Is this something you could justify for an upcoming gaming PC build? Let's find out!

My favorite thing about Greg is that he uses modest, obtainable parts. It gets tiring constantly seeing mega high-end i9-13900K RTX 4090 builds knowing full well I won't be able to afford hardware like that any time soon, especially as a broke college student.
keep grinding bro it goes by fast and soon enough youll be watching those 4090/I9 thirst traps drooling as you wait for your NZXT player 3 prime to get delivered
Affirm, Klarna, Sezzle, ZIP in that order. These apps don't require credit check and they'll let you split payments into 4 payments generally every two weeks.. I've been able to buy all the parts I want. Another nifty trick is buying gift cards with these apps... then combine the cards into one, bayum!
My credit lines aren't that great, 300 limits on average, Klarna gave me 1400! Affirm varies but they also give you super high limits. Goodluck!
Sick build, the case is pretty cool with ton of space and great airflow, also love the content! keep it up.
I'm a simple man. I see a Greg video, I click
ummm, yep 🤭
Same here
You're not that simple if you're clicking in a Greg video.

Looks nice but personally if I were to get an H9, I'd grab the Flow model so that the top can actually be used as an exhaust.
same... plus the elite with that glass top makes no sense if you put your radiator up top...showing off that sweet radiator oooOOOOoooooo lol
@@iAmBuddyFresh But what if you mount the radiator on the side? Yeah, those lianli fans will look nice up top hahaj
Same it's also a £90 difference in the UK (£170 vs £260) for a small glass panel and some RGB, not really worth the premium.
@@pedrovieira4313 yeh that would be the only way I’d mount it if I got the Elite case.
Same
Definitely investing in the Flow version for my all white and rgb build. Love all the filters, and the swinging drive storage. All in all, very impressed with the Flow. Less so with the Elite
I have to H9 Flow and I really love it. I am happy you made this video now, I know that I have made the right choice.
LOVE ur vids, ive leaened more with u than with the course of pc that im studying
I bought the flow version. Really like it. Also love the look of the air cooler and the “retro GPU”
is it good? im considering but really expensive.
I have a *stock air cooler* Ryzen and RTX 2060. is it a overkill case? i see the H7 too but not a fan of the design ...
Love your content. It is so original compared to other tech/computer channels!
Glad you enjoy it!
a fancy word for the air space required to maximise airflow out of the case at the top is a 'plenum' - mounting rad and radfans below the plenum will ensure max airflow out of the plenum toward the venting holes at the 'rear' (behind the motherboard, on the top panel) of the case. anywho, nice case. thanks derbower!
I just bought the H9 Elite, took some soul searching to spend £244 on a case. I originally placed an order for the H9 Flow + what I thought were 3 of the same NZXT fans I saw in the pictures of Elite for whats seemed an ok price of £59,. Turned out to be a different fan version called 'NZXT Core' which looked kind of boring compared to the Duo fans on the Elite, so returned the fans and canceled the H9 Flow order, and bit the bullet with the Elite
I just bought the white h9 flow can’t wait to see how it looks when I’m done
Hey Greg, nice video as always. Would you recommend the T120 cooler over cheaper alternatives such as the Deepcool AK400/AG400?
Got this case can't wait to build
I think is too much for a case, I mean, it's awesome, but 240$ gets you a better psu, ram, SSD or whatever, just my opinion, excelent content as usual
Thanks for watching!
They looking at Lian Li prices and are like we can make more profit then them. Not worth it indeed, prices of cases are so expensive now a days
@@SkateClipsAndTips The flow version is like $80 cheaper and allows for better intake/exhaust at the top. I still don't blame you if you think that's too steep too, cases are just plain out more expensive now so they rarely feel like a good value.
yes it is a bit to much, also does not look like that sturdy of a frame.
it is a massive thing - $239 at MC, If you already have the best of the best then maybe, but I dont see spenting a ton on a case and getting bottom of the barrel components to put in it
I might upgrade my case to this it looks pretty clean and cool I will get the flow version though.
Was going to get the Flow, but saw this on sale for $150 in white. Pretty stoked to build it after watching this video. Don't worry, it's going on a stand.
Intereating the evolution of this case from the original H440 which I had gotten when that case first came out and wasn't as pipular back on the day, and then NZXT decided to make the H440 their main case, and just kept evolving it over the years to the now H9 Elite.
Side note I also still have my NZXT Apollo Blue case from back in the mid to late 00s days when NZXT was trying to make their cases look like AlienWares lol!
The H9 Elite is so nice and they’re so many things you can do with that type of case. Such as having a 15-inch Display in the front to really make the H9 Elite a beautiful build. For how it is now I might take consideration into buying it.
Unless you reallllyyy want that top glass panel, I would advise going with the H9 Flow over the Elite. Especially if the main selling point to you is the display, because both the Flow and the Elite share the same front panel. The price difference between them, as Greg said, makes it seem like a better deal to get the Flow over the Elite.
15inch display, hmm where? i wanna do this with me h9 elite but im not sure where?
@@not_hawk4047 it’s a separate accessory you have to buy
My next build will be using this H9 Elite because it looks better than the Flow and o11D. I'm not worried about airflow because I have central heating and air and don't live on the equator. It will be efficient enough even with the glass top because air still escapes through the perforations up there.
I love the case and it's fairly easy to build in, but if you install an RTX 4000 series GPU you need to get a 90°/180° 12v HPWR adapter or a vertical GPU mount and riser cable for you to be able to close the glass side pannel because the stock 12v HPWR sticks out too far.
I absolutely love that minimalism look! It looks perfect from all angles and even the top is made of glass (at least glass parts, kinda a glass-frame around the fans.) The pure and minimalistic and small looking NZXT CPU cooler instead of some ugly oversized bulky cooler, the gun metal grey colour of the graphics card and the non-RGB pure white illumination of the three fans in the otherwise complete black builds spices up the overall look.
For years I thought the Corsair Obsidian 500D (NON-RGB of course!) with the two massive tinted glass doors is the best case worldwide. Now I have found a second most beautyful best case worldwide, the NZXT H9 :)
If I build a second PC for Flight Simulator 2024 in a year or so I will choose this case.
Honestly, I had the O11 Dynamic XL and was not happy with it at all. Was heavy and just tall af. Swapped it with the Hyte Y60 and I'm much more pleased. more compact but spacious and airflow is amazingly great and that's on a non water cooled setup. Planning to water cool later on.
are 11 fans any more energy efficient over a liquid cooled setup? It feels like the electrical draw would add up to being more of an energy drain than an AIO and a couple of fans to help air flow. interested in your thoughts.
I’m a fan of NZXT cases, I have an older build now in a h710 and have decided to go for the H9 Flow. Just can’t decide if I’m going for a white build (if I can get a white GPU!) or a blackout build! Choices!
Try with the tuf z790 ddr 5 bored
I just love the look of this board 😍
Im actually about to build a new PC in one of these cases (Albeit the Flow model, not the elite). The CPU Cooler clearance is 165mm. Which is just enough for the 164mm DeepCool Assassin IV that I am putting into it
Another true to the viewer review Greg thanx.......................
Are you planning to build in the Sharkoon Rev 300? With its unusual motherboard orientation, it can be described as a "weird case" too.
With the solid panel on top. Where does the air escape at, from the fans mounted up top?
Great video Greg
Thanks for watching!
Does the cooler master vertical GPU mount fit in here?
for me this case is almost perfection, nzxt pls do the same case but for mATX format and u have my love forever
This case/build looks so damn great 👍
I like the new fans with the ring of lights on both sides! Now next time I build in a NZXT case I Dont have to gut it and install Corsair guts lol
After reading so many reviews, I still can't decide. Evo vs H9 Flow?
Elite not in the picture given the top exhaust funnels hot air back to side intake, there's a gap. Flow has a closed compartment.
Which would you get?
That bring me the horizon album is such a classic great vinyl choice!
I got the H7 Flow for €130. Super happy with it.
Going to wait for the flow version of the h9.
Do you think the 165mm high noctua NH 15 heatsink would fit? I have seen that yours is already almost touching the tempered glass or so it seemed, byee
Gonna be building my first PC soon and I’m shitting bricks so this was a good watch even though it wasn’t a tutorial.
I live around the area and just built a decent itx rig. Got really worried that q flash didnt work on my motherboard and ordered an extra amd 3600 to update bios, turns out I just didnt plug the pcie cable into my gpu entirely. So, if you want a 3600 as a donor for checking, I have one
I have a 2x 120mm AIO (NZXT) would that be okay for the top?
Definitely building my new build in the h9 flow but This case is sold out everywhere at the moment.😢
Greg having an existential crisis at the end xD glad that you showed concerns about the price though
I think I'll be sticking with the Fractal Pop Air XL. More provision for drive bays.
How does it do when you overclock is the air flow/temp good?
The front fans which comes pre installed are they already installed as intake fans or do we have to flip them?
I have a serious question? would you rather have this case or the flow? not sure which one to get
I bought it in white and I am loving it
Biggest no go for the Lian Li was noise, how do you rate this one with all the fans and open right side?
Nice case, but compare it to the Montech Sky Two? Just pour value for money! Can you try that in blue for us?
can you build cheapest component available vs expensive? compare gaming performance..
must be same core spec.
I hope that one day, NZXT will make a completely transparent glass case for their black version so we can fully enjoy the non rgb components inside the case. This way, the case beats the purpose as those heavy tinted glass are hiding everything behind it!
Just got my h9 flow
Great looking case. IMHO if you could have put an all black gpu in there it would have made a great looking 'blackout' system.
My question is that át the bottom how many and how big fans can I place. Plus what is the name of the fans that are built in
Try a borg cube next
Hey love your videos 🤞
I am still into the h5 :D I still have an H5 Elite and love it .
So I just attempted to build my first PC, got everything to light up BUT the ram, PC will not post PLEASE HELP!
hi is the cable cover to the left of the rgb fans removable?
This one is my next one to get
Could I swap out that gpu for some better and keep the same mother board and cpu
If no one has mentioned it, you seem to have neglected your choice for storage. I was curious if you picked some sort of NVME drive and where it would go on the Motherboard, or if you picked a 3 1/2 inch drive to test the cable management of the case.
This rig didn't stay together long enough for the need for a drive, which is why it wasn't mentioned. But it would have been an NVMe here. Adding a HDD wouldn't have complicated cable management much at all. As you can see, the H9 provides ample space for cabling.
Greg any chance that you'll make another episode for the pc building game?
Would my old Z490 Godlike EATX MB fit?
Are you using fan splitters or a fan hub?
I have to comment just to let you know that I say goochie as well. You are not alone. Keep up the good work 👍🏼 Love the videos!
Yessir new pc build
i have a doubt bro
nvme gen 4 slot support gen 3 nvme ?
Would you recommend getting the case personally because ive been thinking about getting it
That's kinda why this video exists Lol. If you wanna skip ahead to the end, you can hear my summary!
I bought the Lian Li 216 for about 116 euros (incl. 24% VAT) based on reviews and builds I saw of it.
The Clone Wars! Which 011 is the best 011. How is the depth of the case for wide GPUs. I had an issue building in the Magnium Neo Qube, an 011 clone when using an EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3. The PCIE cables pressed uncomfortably on the glass side panel. I was building for someone else, so swapped out the card. Had it been my own build, I'm not sure what I would have chosen to do. However, I was surprised there was even an issue. I don't think the current 4000 series cards and perhaps not the 7000 series cards would fit. Perhaps even a beefy 3090 would fit in the Neo. I wonder if there would be an issue with this case or other 011 clones or the 011 itself?
Greg, is there anywhere i can DM you please? Just regarding some software advise with new builds! Cheers pal, top work 👌👌
Funny how people seem to forget about the Corsair Carbide Air 240 and 540 from back in 2013. This design has been around for years, and I have always wanted one of these cases (the 240 or 540 from Corsair). Anyone know of any other cases from before 2013 that were dual chamber design like this?
Fractal Design Node 804 - 2014
(IDK, I'm just curious to as to which case may be credited as "the original" cube / dual chamber design)
design buddy it's beautiful
it doesn't need to be useful
just appreciate the design thank you
It does need to be useful, otherwise it’s useless.
I don't know why, but I'm getting flashbacks of the verge build, but Greg is actually skilled at building computers.
Screw with confidence!
I think I’d change your “Screw with confidence” line if I were you. I’m not gonna explain why, but it might be a bit edgy.
@@louie1432 you might want to review the verge builds a gaming pc video
does it come with fans?
Hi, I need your help on this SSD card. I had the same case, NZXT H9 but don’t know how to install it I am old school I am IDE this is all new to me. Some younger people IDE is a older pc
I Wil get my h9 flow today. Was thinking to go for elite but feel when my x73 at top wil have probleem to lose heat from my i7 13700kf
Here in Holland thy are 189 euro for flow and elite is 289 euro
Love all 011 fan boy lol like that case was first one.
$240!? NZXT is insane. I can get a O11D mini + a 850w gold SFX psu for nearly that price.
Don't know if Newegg still has the package deal, but they had the O11D mini with a 750w SFX for $170! I thought about getting one when I upgraded my case but went with the Fractal Define 7 Mini instead. I'm using a mATX motherboard and didn't need the extra space in the O11D Mini.
7:35 I would have put the 3 included RGB fans up top. It is clear up there 🤷🏾♂️
Hi Greg,will are any pcdc videos incoming? 😀
Hi Greg great video. nicely done. I'm just not a NZXT fan. I'll just leave it at that.
I have the h7 could I just love my stuff in the h9 if I got it?
you summed it up already....excellent case god awful price
I kinda love this case. My 011D DB Edition is awesome and I love it, it was gifted to me by a friend for my birthday. The NZXT case is really cool with some nice features, but the price is a bit of a turn off. I mean, the 011D is around $130 and the added features and design doesnt warrant a case that is nearly double the price. Some people think its worth it and I dont feel that its necessarily a rip off, just really kinda out there for what it is. Either way, if I catch it on sale for like $50 or off, Ill snap one up.
More Greg YESS
"What's in the box?!" ... 13 fans. Stay frosty San Diego.
The rtx 2060 look super clean !!!
finally someone who points this out to be a copy of the liani li dynamic evo!
Dare to be different Greg, love the build! 2080 fits within the motherboards boundary and adds to the clean lines of the case layout.
Is it worth £1300 for a pc I’m using a ps5 atm I want a pc but to get a good one it’s about £1000 but £1000 is Abit expensive
elito variant is 390€ here in france
airflow variant 220€
thanks
Hey my pc won't load I was wondering if you could help
Clear the CMOS and click on the description box to join the discord server, TH-cam comments section isn't the place to ask for help
I’m still deciding if I want to go with the H9 Flow or Elite
Both cases look great
i’d go with the flow if i were you, more airflow
@@bobbjonn6935 I thought they were pretty much the same despite a minor difference? Well if I do go with the flow then it can save me $100
is the site for that window key legit? i dont see any option for paypal
I regret getting the H7 Flow now that the H9 is out, they should've launched them alongside eachother with H5 also
