[btarunr]

NZXT, a leader in PC gaming hardware and services, today announces the successor to their popular H510 mid-tower ATX case, the H5 Flow and H5 Elite, and the T120 series of air coolers. The H5 Series features two new ATX compatible cases that will be the main chassis featured in NZXT's mid-tower lineup; they feature better overall thermal performance, improved cable management channels, and features the classic design that NZXT's H series is known for.

Each case in the H5 series features an opened-up top that allows for the mounting of one 240 mm radiator or two 120 mm fans for improved thermal performance. These mid-tower cases maintain ATX compatibility in a compact form factor. The side panels are toolfree, allowing easy entry to update any parts, fix any issue, and check in on your gaming PC. With optimized thermal performance and intuitive cable management, the H5 is an ideal chassis for most builds.



The H5 Flow
The H5 Flow focuses on getting the maximum cooling for your components with its perforated front panel. And along with the bottom intake fan that is optimally angled to circulate hot air to the top quicker, allowing for a cooler chassis. The H5 Flow comes in all-white or all-black to suit any style.

The H5 Elite
The H5 Elite is designed for people who want to create a showcase build for their setup. Each H5 Elite comes with two F140 RGB fans that are showcased through the tempered front glass panel. Additionally, an NZXT RGB fan controller comes built in that allows users to personalize their RGB lighting with NZXT CAM. With the improved top ventilation and bottom intake fan found in the H5 series, cooling performance is improved over the previous generations. Available color options include all-white or all-black.

T120
The new T120 Air cooler is easy to install and maintain CPU cooler. This new air cooler features high-quality heat pipes to provide cooling to the CPU efficiently. The T120 can also come with RGB and is NZXT CAM software compatible for control of RGB and fan curves.

*yikes*

That 12VHPWR bend, NZXT should know better with this housefire cases

Wow now even NZXT is using that stupid PCI-e Retention mechanism. Also that bottom mounted intake fan is a neat idea.

GamersNexus reviewed it, it didn't end well.

It rarely does. Steve's criteria for approval are very narrow. He gives very short shrift to usage cases outside of his own. That's fine, it's his vlog, his opinion. Just something viewers need to remind themselves periodically.

I like this bottom angled air intake addition. Would be nice to see if it helps with GPU temps. Hope its not too much of a compromise with cable management below the shroud.

Personally, for hi-power hotty GPU setups i'm fancying some of the Mini-ITX solutions (eg. NR200) or some of the newer Micro-ATX options (ASUS AP201) which throws the PSU to the side and frees up the bottom with x2 fan mounts (intake). I've seen a couple of these setups with people reporting improved temps... a handful on reddit going a little further with modding a duct between the fans and GPU for maximum cooling performance.

EDIT: Just found this... not much of a difference on the GPU but CPU temps??? https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/4vTfR8ZTsLYc2ffWr6T3g9-970-80.png.webp

He didn't say that the case was bad, it's a good performer...if you are willing to buy two fans to put in the front if you are air cooling. He mainly complained that having to buy additional fans made the case more expensive than it is.

GN forgot too even mention. What if you already got fans, then its a good deal.
H510 and seeing this I like it. Just few drawbacks. Lack of 140mm top mounting (plenty of room to have that). Front bottom huge empty space, which could have easily be used for venting or side SSD mounting.
