That crooked fan on the cpu cooler is absolutely killing me.
It's the worst lamo
Me too, REEEEEEEEEEEE
yap i was triggered the whole video too and thought more of the people that didnt say something about it to correct it...
I was really really hoping he would notice! XD
Yes, please fix it!
The fact that I’m wondering if this will fit a 4090 is a testament to how off the rails Nvidia has gone with the size of their GPUs.
H7 will probably be better for 4090
it can, yes it will be REALLY big but it will still fit
@@InfiniteBullets2 😜
I'm guessing no lol. Maybe a founders, hahaha.
It more speaks to how shit NZXT cases are.
Purple power supply with some purple cables in that white case, it'd look pretty sweet
that's a wifey build for sure
Well more like James the stratman by a purple case and a purple power supply and want to get purple Ram.
@@EDV8ZR1 Just get white RAM with RGB and set it purple. O_
@@WyvernVin purple cable mod cables
@@WyvernVin or custom profile white and purple with time delay
I love that the back of the case doesn't have any holes for dust to be pulled in from. Please, more companies do this!
I don't as the airflow path for this case is low front to high back but all the hot air of the GPU now needs to escape towards the top and cant escape through the end.
Why have negative air pressure for dust to be pulled in anyway?
If GN take this case for a ride you will see you can lose 5-7ºC on your GPU for that silly covers
@@ericcartman5722 That is a big doubt for me. 6-7K is the difference of no side panel, sometimes less. (not to speak of 6-7K from what? What's the baseline, which case, how many fans and where are they?) It doesn't even make sense when you think about the physics. You trap air down there which increases air resistance and therefore the sound of the fans. The decrease in temperature would be from the new fan itself, as the old case had bad airflow for the lower part of the case anyway. The slot covers will not help.
@@mikep9418 My gpu creates negative pressure at the rear of my case. Since my cpu temps don't go high enough to make the case fans spin up to counter the gpu pulling air from elsewhere.
I decided to use tape to cover the holes on the back of the case so that this couldn't happen and while I realise I could've jut changed the pwm curve for the fans, my cpu temps rarely go above 50c when gaming or 70 with a full load so they're tuned to be quiet unless they go above 60c. My negative pressure issue from the gpu was fixed but with the case in this video, I wouldn't have that issue in the first place.
For reference, I use the Gigabyte 6700XT with triple fans and it pulls a lot of air, even compared to my 140mm front case fans. Sometimes, negative pressure can't be avoided
Something tells me the editor had fun editing this one. Loved the editing style with the funny little text pop-ups etc
With NZXT trying to break into all the pc product lines, I’m curious if they’ll ever try and get a board partnership with Nvidia to fill the space of EVGA.
They'd sell pretty GPU's ngl ...but maybe run hot as heck lol!
@@WyvernVin run hot and cost 2500$ for a 4080. Nzxt pricing is easy to figure out. Find the most expensive competitor, copy their product exactly, then sell for 2-4x the original. They're the American version of the Chinese companies using tooling and what not to make a clone. But those clones are typically cheaper, not more expensive for the exact same quality.
doubt it, nzxt likes to make money and they make plenty of it doing other stuff. I don't think the profit margins on making GPU's are good enough for them.
What would entice NZXT to join the chaos EVGA gladly left?
@@unholydonuts Nvidias msrp. nzxt sees 1200, and think 2500, so they'll charge you 4000 for a not top tier gpu.
their old ultra tower cases from like 10y ago had the same-ish angled fan design, glad to see it coming back to assist GPU cooling and general flow
i am pretty sure air coming from the front is better than the bottom because bottom intake is more restrictive
@@michaelli3944 I thought it was a pull fan not a push
@@zebedeesummers4413 i think if it was a pull fan it would be taking air away from the gpu and causing worse thermals. I think it is an intake fan because logo is on the inside. Still i feel like they could have just installed it on the front like the h7 flow because i remember gamers nexus said airflow is better when it is pulling air from the front not the bottom.
Yeah, it's very reminiscent of the Phantom cases
@@michaelli3944 yeah the old one was just hanging in there in the middle and you can change angles so its still intakes from the front. This here would be interesting but it does have good enough stand off from the ground
Man I just love NZXTs clean white design!
That angled GPU fan is a neat idea. It would be interesting to see cooling performance compared to the previous case.
Think gamer's nexus did a review and the bottom fan causes a lot of turbulence and might be worse airflow than the h510 flow.
@@profesercreeper Thanks I'll take a look :)
Ok, word of advise (i know, i know) - since this PSU is modular, just plug EPS connectors to the motherboard first - when it is laying flat on the box or table and route the PSU end trough the case hole when you installing the mobo and then connect the loose ends to the PSU. So much easier.
You can do that, however, some cases with a cramped basement may give you trouble when you try to plug all that cable through. I've always done the ATX cable on the PSU side + everything else on the board.
@@ErulianADRaghath Connect the cables BEFORE installing the PSU in it's place.
PC goes on the left because you don't need a lot of space for your keyboard hand, but you want as much space as possible for your mouse hand. Also I'm curious how that angled fan in the bottom affected gpu temps.
Pc goes on the right so you can see in the window.
Lefties like myself always have the PC on the right. (Or in my case, at my feet because my case is enormous.)
PC goes on the floor so it doesn't take up space and is quieter. Also left so the MB is also slightly dampening the sound.
The CPU fan made my inner Monk scream in agony!
Besides that - if you really get a Game Rock for the looks of it, you absolutely *must* install it vertically - installing it horizontally in a white build completely ruins the aesthetic.
If you spent more money to get fake diamonds on the GPU you should stop smoke crystal first.
Really good editing, Alexandre Porvin I can tell you love your job and a lot of the little touches had me laughing well done!
I really like this guys flow
Comes across very smooth and natural, like he’s talking directly to you
Really enjoyed the editing in this one!
I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who like the PC on my left. The right has more space for the mouse for gaming, etc, while I don't really need to shift my keyboard on the left to accommodate more space. Also stuck in the left corner of the room so it doesn't feel as pleasant to put the PC on my right even if I have the space to do so.
That's something I hate about so many cases, even expensive ones do this. They never give you room in the back. Like seriously, a few extra millimeters can go a long way to not get a bulge on your back panel and to not make it annoying to put on. I recently got a Dark Base 900 and it's a massive case, but even that doesn't leave enough room for cables in the back, especially S-ATA cables, S-ATA power specifically. Like, those cases already aren't super cheap, and the small amount of extra material to get a few extra millimeters of space for your cables isn't gonna make the case suddenly 50 dollars more expensive. Like why
What are you measuring with your multimeters, bruv?
I got the H7 Flow recently and loving it so far 👍
Same here, just love the simple clean design...so easy to build in and most important, it can take a 360mm AIO in the roof!
Much fun was had in the production of this video... at all stages.
Guys your videos are still getting better and better! 👏👏👏
I never thought of a reversed case, but it’s a really cool idea.
They used to be more common.
Inverse Cases are awesome. When you have a long desk with two computers; it's great to have one on the left and right of the desk.
The ittt software seems super useful, I'd love to turn the colours of the rgb based on the gpu temp. Green for ~50 orange for ~70 and red for ~80 or something like that. I don't actually know what temperatures my gpu reach, haven't checked since my new case.
My current case now and I love it!
I have a h510 elite, very tempted by this new version due to the top mountable AIO support. I do wish you had added some temps for the GPU in this case and compared them to the older H510 cases, as kinda important information given that new fan placement at the bottom of the case
You watching subLTT right now, for those kind of information you better look at Gamers nexus he made all of that since it's a more technical oriented channel. Always watching multiple opinion/review is the way to go no matter the subject anyway
I have this case. Temps are chilled with my gpu. That bottom fan angled that way does something. Swapped the stock fan with a chromax noctua though
The editing on this was really cool!
It's the first time I checked who was the editor in the credits.
Let Alexandra do her thing, this was a really fun video!
My PCs are on the left. One's in a Corsair 600C and the other in a Thermaltake Core G3. I just keep building in these case. I love them.
I have the H510 Flow in White. I much prefer the white colour scheme on the H510 because the front mesh and the window are black, it’s a really nice contrast.
Watching plouffe build a PC is...just so much chaotic fun :) more case reviews/builds with Plouffe
Well Nick was good welcome change fun video. 👍👍
It's fun watching someone else build a PC. 👌
I bought the H700 back in 2018 and still rocks and the airflow is pretty good for a case with solid front and top panels.
I just randomly stumbled on a Short Circuit video literally migrating my current exact build from an H510 Flow to the new H5 Flow and I'm all up for it. You guys could at least be subtle it 😂
Love the editing style on this, keep doing what you're doing!
I have this case myself and so far I love it
Liked bcs of that cpu wire trick. I learned the same last year with my first custom build
I do miss the white and black if the 510 Flow, but the angled fan is pretty cool.
@10:36 AND I DON'T WANT IT UPSIDE DOWN! I also put mine on the left, because that's the best way for my dual monitors to work. Upside down cases just look weird to me. it also makes it harder to plug in cables in the back.
Glad to see someone else with the correct case on the left setup, I guess on the right made sense or at least didn't make no sense in the days of single monitor, but with dual monitors I want my main center, and my 2nd to the right, so left makes way more sense, also it makes sure you have plenty of room for your mouse, it's why when I built my own case from scratch it was more of a BTX style layout so the window was on the right side of the case, and even my current Phanteks case (Evolv shift air 2) has the motherboard facing the right side so I can see it with the case to my left.
It's funny how, as this video goes up, I'm in the process of getting help from a friend on my first build- and it's got a white theme, fair bit of RGB, a 12600k, a 3070, a Z690... just none of the parts in this video. Parallel lines in a way. Super excited to have my first desktop though!
I appreciate the Editors work
100% agree on the reversed case for right facing panel
More cases should do the solid pci socket covers in the back. Maybe some covers for the pcie slots and sata, usb connector headers, etc.
this really takes me back
i remember building my first pc
nzxt always makes such good looking hardware
FINALLY!!!
the one reason I hated those h10's and never used is that they had only a 120 fan mount at the top THANK YOU NZXT!!!
I have a h510 white and this one is a good upgrade ima def buy this
Not putting the gpu vertically was a missed opportunity, especially since the kit was there!
realy good case review.
i gotta get one for my new pc build like this
and who else has there pc on the left side of desk?
Im a fan of NZXT since the original Phantom case,. I hope they would remake that case :)
i hope they gonna release the two color version of this
I agree with Ploof, I would love to have a PC with the glass side on the left but I guess it would require have all the other parts swapped directions and it would be too much hassel
YES! Left side PC gang! Why would anyone put it on the right where it'll get in the way of your mouse space?
10:42 THIS! This has been a problem for me for the longest time. Two of my three computer stations have the computer to the left and it makes the window useless.
3:16 Is there any news about Direct Storage for PC games? E.G: a named game under development (that utilizes it), or a mod that activates it (in lack of a better term) for a game?
Here for the opposite sided cases too! I'm lefty and want the case on my left
That angled fan on the bottom does not do anything. LOL In fact, if you remove it it improves cooling as it causes turbulence. See Steve's review.
I have to agree with Plouffe. I would love a reversed case as I too put my desktop on my left.
I put my PC on the left, too. I also have it backwards to where I can easily reach all my USB's and stuff, so it kind of works out.
Still would like more reversed cases to be a thing.
You had me right up until you said backwards
mine is diagonal and upside down
@@srscricket I have a lot of cables I need easy access to. It’s more of a convenience thing. That said, I’d still trade that for a nice reverse case.
@@flyingtentacle7631 but the power button
PC on the left because I’m right handed and need the space on the right for using my right hand with writing or flipping through pages and I like open space on the right and my left side is storage and clutter. Sitting at a desk for work, it is always easier for me to rotate left to the computer in work chair and back for the paper to be reviewed
Id love a lefty case as well !
I hate the EPS location/cables really, so I hear you on that. It's always like a combo of brute force and then surgical, Operation-esque work lol.
Why just one fan in front? Also, the CPU cooler looks crooked. Kind of bummed, you guys always do a great job.
Not fussed on the case but love Plouffes enthusiasm 😁
That looks beautiful. I really need to build myself a computer again. (Using only laptops with linux for 7 years now, damn)
i have just built in the black one and its a lovely case to build in. Only thing i did was swap out all fans for noctua
How many coffees did Ploufe have before filming this?
Left side case, yes! Same. One of the dozen!
Same here on the case side. Mine is illuminating the way because it faces away from me.
LOL I was just looking at left sided cases - I also keep mine on the left :D
Whoever edited this. Chefs kiss
My home server uses an NZXT case, not a crappy case :) I love it.
It’s the singing that get to me the best( ba ba ba beautiful)
10:38 A-men! There's probably more than dozens of us though...
10:36 oh yesssss, probably because the mouse is on the right and having something giant on the right might feel constricting... also I just realized that majority of places I put my computer desk in, the wall was to the left, so putting a computer on the right was blocking the open side, creating a weird cubical feeling with wall to the left and a computer case on the right.
One reason why it probably is always build for a right side placement is that that is where most computer desk put their bottom shelf for computers and likely because most people are right-handed, so expectation is that people use their right hand to turn on a PC... which I don't think matters to most people if they have to use left or right hand to turn a computer on.
I also wish they made reverse cases.
Why is it industry standard to have tower on right side? Doesn't make sense to me to have tower on same side as mouse space. Tower will get in the way.
I had an H510 flow, but I wanted better cooling so I swapped into an H7 Flow, mostly because it's a little bigger and imo looks a little nicer, having the perforation go all the way down the front
I guess not only sff hobbyist do case transplants every now and then.
That discrete 'Gundamn Style' reference in the beginning lol
You mean “Gangnam Style”…
@@JasonZakrajsek yeah, I knew I messed up the spelling of that
I would love to see a review of reverse/inverted cases!
the IFTT thing is sick
that crooked cpu fan is killing me... I can't unsee it.
I, too, hate the EPS connector. Especially when the socket is positioned such that the retaining clips go on the inside edge instead of the outside edge. This is a real problem when they are put next to an oversized VRM heatsink and you are forced to use a flathead screwdriver to manipulate the clip when trying to remove the EPS connector.
The editing for this video is bizarre and I'm a fan of it
OMG look at how inclusive it is. I love this so much! I feel so included!
I want the case panels to be swappable as well!!! Interested about temps and hiw much the bottom gan helps. Most testers use short or founders cards, which would not benefit much from the fan. My mobo should be in tomorrow so will bw ablw to try it out myself finally,a
Thanks for sharing this❗👍🤙
I have an RM750x in my build and I am looking to get a better case. Do you think it will fit with this H5 Flow?
This case is cool and all, but it doesn't offer much in the way of Storage Space due to the location of the angled fan so it only have 1 2.5" drive and 1 3.5" drive (that 3.5" drive space can also be used for a 2.5" drive). For a case that cost £110 in the UK that's fairly limiting it's cost.
3.5" drive are getting a bit old fashioned now. Even 2.5" ssds aren't so popular with the low price of M.2 drives so I can see their point of view. I don't have any sata drive in my gaming system.
it can take ATX /EATX size motherboard who can get up to six M2 slot , not even mentioning the pci card that can add some more. Sata will die in the years to come anyway
hello. how much clearance from front panel/filter to fan mount bracket does this case have? is it possible to mount something like arctic radiator (38mm) on the other side (after the filter)? thanks
It's like Christmas morning in there.
I put my pc on the left too. Solidarity brother.
I might look into tinting my case glass now 🤣😂
My PC is on the left too. So yeah, a reversed case would be cool.
Also NZXT is one of those companies that has come a long way. I remember the first NZXT cases that I remember hitting the market were cheap shit that looked like a Gundam (which hey, that's cool if that's your thing). Then companies like Antec are I guess still around and OCZ are gone.
Are you talking about the phantom? 😂 i always thought that case looked so cool but wouldn't describe the price of it as cheap lol
@@ELeCTriicChiiCKen No not the phantom. The phantom is even newer. I found it, the NZXT Nemesis from 2005. Check it out. They were pretty cheap, my friend bought one. I went with a Cooler Master as they were a better build quality but PC cases back then we're not near as good as they are today.
Edit : I'm actually thinking of the 2003 NZXT Guardian. The Nemesis seems to be a better case. It's literally the first time I ever saw a NZXT product.
@@Gatorade69 wow they look so retro now 😂 Glad the case industy has moved to more function over fork designs!
Hands down best looking build They have done
1:39
the HOLY mesh
lol
Gave I like for the hate of the EPS connector. I'm right there with ya.
For $5 less you can get a Fractal Design Pop Air with 3 case fans and it has multiple color options.
I want a purple PSU too. P.S. if you want the black version but you would want the not tainted glass panel you cannot swap with one from the white as you told because it has white borders
"just like me"
"No."
was a fucking knee slapper! 🤣
since i currently use an APU i have an extra fan over the card slots
I would love if someone made a reversible case so you can choose which side the motherboard is mounted to.
You can sort of do it with the masterbox Q300L and Q500L. You can basically orient the case whichever way you want
Lian-Li O11 Dynamic EVO.
Fair few of the be quiet cases do that
Everything looks good but I loose the space to slot in two extra drive since that space is now occupied by that bottom slanted fan.
