NZXT Announces the New-Generation H7 Case
NZXT, a leader in PC gaming hardware and services, today announces the next generation of our mid-tower cases - the H7. This new ATX case offers three new options - the H7, the H7 Flow, and the H7 Elite; each features better thermal performance for CPUs and GPUs, improved cable management channels, and tool-less entry for side panels. Every H7 features NZXT's simple, clean, and elegant design aesthetic.
The H7 features an opened-up top that allows for the mounting of 360 mm radiators and improved thermal performance. The cable management is upgraded, with widened channels, hooks to grab hold of difficult cables, and more space, making cable-routing simple. The side panels are tool-less, making for easy entry to update any parts, fix any issue, and check in on your gaming PC. These features are housed within a design inspired by the original H710 but smaller, sleeker, and with a clean finish and more color options to match any setup.
The H7
The H7 line of cases comes in a variety of color options. The H7 and H7 Flow come in: white and black, all white, and all black. The H7 Elite is available either in all black or all white with a matching glass panel, sporting a tinted panel for black cases and a clear panel with white.
The Flow
The H7 Flow focuses on cooling components and offers the same features of the newly redesigned H7 alongside an added perforated front panel. It is ready to tackle higher-end builds and allows headroom for overclocking while providing ample space for the latest video cards and processors.
The Elite
The H7 Elite offers an option for PC builders who want to focus on RGB builds. Alongside all the great features of the H7, the H7 Elite also features an additional tempered glass panel and three front-mounted F Series 140 mm RGB fans. Lastly, there is an included RGB fan controller, which is refreshed with 6 RGB and 3 fan channels, that utilizes NZXT CAM to customize your lighting and fan curves.
Case Accessories Launching Alongside the H7 Series:
Alongside the new H7 series, NZXT is launching accessories for the H7 such as a new line of case fans and a GPU vertical riser. The new F series line of case fans, is coming in to fit every need and help fill out any build with bright RGB. The Quiet Airflow line will keep things cool, lowering temps overall while the new Static Pressure fans help AIOs. These new fans all come in black or white and in 120 mm and 140 mm sizes.
For those looking to display the centerpiece of their PC front and center, the Vertical GPU Mount and Riser Cable will help facilitate that. The steel GPU mount is tough enough to hold up heavy GPUs while fitting nicely in the H7 with room to spare, and the extended Riser Cable is flexible, fast, and durable, along with featuring backward and current generation compatibility.
Finally, the NZXT RGB Fan Controller found in the H7 Elite will be sold separately to allow users to add RGB and fan control via NZXT CAM to their H7, H7 Flow, or any other case.

Hello NZXT, this is mid-2022 calling, and we want some truly innovative, superior designed stylish cases that actually present us pc builders with some new, unusual and interesting options.... and NO, opening up the top panel or making cable mgmt easier doesn't qualify....
BUT, at least they got the "all-white" thing 99.95% right (except for the screws & fasteners), so there's that, hehehe :D
I became a fan with the s340 elite, h500, H700 series... sleekishly cool looking cases. But always wandered why NZXT failed to adopt the front perforation for improved airflow. There's a ton of options now and the newer Gen H7 just seems ordinary (the logo in your face don't help either):banghead:....looks like you'll be waiting long into 2050 when computers won't need cases, just braces, tweezers and swiss army knives.
Don’t really understand all of the hate here. Sure, the glass front versions are typical NZXT aesthetics over performance stubbornness, but the Flow actually looks to be a decent case. It’s even got USB-C for quality ignores like bonehead.
The P180 isn’t without faults for those that demand well designed quietness, namely weight and rigidity, but I don’t LAN anymore, so that’s moot for me.Well sure you’ll need AC if your running modern space heaters. ;)
Still a great case though, wish I still had mine :)
Anyway, for high performance builds with powerful GPUs consuming a ton of power i wouldn't buy a case with a PSU shroud anymore... preferably a case with open bottom for fan mounts pulling in cool air and the PSU shifted elsewhere (eg. lian Li 011s, or a mini-ITX NR200P, etc)..... GPU cooling requirements have increased and for some of us noise-sensitive runners we'd fancy better GPU cooling options. And yet, NZXT continues to support standard configurations (dont' worry took them 4 years to adopt front perforation, so i'm expecting open bottom options in another 4 years when everyone else is already on board... the torrent being a nice example!)
No greater noise regardless for me though since I’m a fixed rpm undervolter rather than using PWM, an approach I wouldn’t recommend to those not willing to invest in massive head sinks with modest or low wattage parts, heat sinks where normally not found e.g. drives, and case modding e.g. cutting out all fan guards.
I’ll have to remember this thread and ping you for case contemplations whenever I do an AM5 build.
