NZXT H7 Flow - CM-H71FW-01 - ATX Mid Tower PC Gaming Case - Front I/O USB Type-C Port - Quick-Release Tempered Glass Side Panel - Vertical GPU Mount - Integrated RGB Lighting - White

Product Information

The H7 Flow is a mid-tower ATX chassis that takes inspiration from last year’s H510 Flow, with various improvements and a larger size.

We’ve updated our testing hardware to use Intel’s 12 Gen “Alder Lake” platform, which has shaken up the desktop landscape (and taken prominent spots on our best CPUs for gaming list). When I was building in the H7, I didn’t realize until I finished that only 25 minutes had passed, including time spent removing my hardware from the previous case. Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page. For those who want more fans, RGB illumination, an integrated fan controller, and a tempered glass front panel, the H7 Elite is the case for you. Gaming saw an average of 71 C, which is better than the outgoing case, but still short of the N7 Flow.Compared to the old H710, the new H7 comes with a new perforated top panel and redesigned front panel for better airflow, as well as improved cable management. By that time, I’d already self-published some guidelines on hardcore PC stuff: pin-modifying processors to defeat compatibility checks and overclock non-overclockable systems. Perhaps NZXT should release a H7 Elite Flow model, that ships with the H7 Elite’s RGB lighting and addition fans and the H7 Flow’s perforated front panel.

With the top filter installed, the H7 Flow’s CPU temperatures are a close match to those of Corsair’s iCUE 5000T, beating both the Cooler Master HAF 500 and Lian Li O11D EVO. The first thing that we will note with our 600 RPM fan tests is that NZXT’s H7 Elite would not let its fans run at speeds of below 750 RPM. The GPU delta T sat at 42°C after our testing, which again isin the middle of the results and lacks the clout of cases such as the Corsair 5000D Airflow, while just pipping the Antec DF700 Flux and Antec NX700 to the post, albeit by just a single degree.While NZXT’s H710 chassis has proved to be popular over its lifespan, the PC market has changed a lot since this case was introduced.
