NZXT H6 Flow RGB

[Darksaber]

The H6 Flow is NZXT's most compact dual-chamber chassis, complementing the larger H9 in their chassis line-up. Available as an RGB version, it also provides a unique 45° panel with the understated design DNA NZXT is known for.

I thought H7 was updated along with new fans that seems to have been launched(from the youtube uploads in last couple of mintues.). So is the H6 also updated or just a late review?

I understand these dual chamber cases from an aesthetic point of view, but that's really their only advantage, but I don't understand where people are actually putting them. I've never had a shortage of vertical space to work with when deciding where to put a PC, however, horizontal space is always at a premium due to monitors, mice, keyboards, etc. These cases take up a few square feet more horizontal space than a normal tower, are people taking up half their desk space with these things, or are they hiding them on the floor?

I guess this has been something that has baffled me for a long time, ever since the introduction of the MicroATX box cases that took up more desk space because of their orientation verses tower cases.

A somewhat premium asking price for a mediocre offering.

Yup, I guess the particular test setup was not the most optimal. No rear fan, no bottom fans.

Awful low CPU cooler limitation - should be at least 190 mm.

CPU Cooler: 163 mm

Intel Core i5-12600K
Alder Lake
3.7 GHz, 6+4 cores / 16 threads

These 16 threads are not equal, and it doesn't become clear what those 6+4 stand for?
Maybe it's good to rewrite it: 6 P-cores / 12-threads + 4 E-cores / 4-threads.

I don't understand them. There is a logic in trying to put those front fans a bit to the side, but I think they should be on the other side, the front left side, directly blowing onto the motherboard and components.

Either on the floor, or on very large elongated flat tables/desks.

Not on that one:

What a hideous case.

What a hideous case.

And heavy.

They really need to ditch the heavy tempered glass and find something lighter yet still clear.. /s

Like... acrylic, maybe?

Yep i have the same dilemma.. i can just about place a standard ATX on the desk without getting in the way whilst supporting a 2 displays, KB, mouse and some breathing space. I can't make space for these horizontally chubby fat-boys, well i can, but with a little hit on convenience. I would prefer one, as i'm pretty BIG on the idea of intaking air from the bottom directed towards the GPU + more cleaner aesthetics with the PSU shifted behind the mobo wall. I wouldn't go with one of these full-sized towers though, preferably a Micro-ATX dual chamber option with the GPU in touching distance to the bottom case fans.

lol i have seen finished builds where people just drop these behemoths to the bottom side of the desk or even on the carpet. Hardly appealing.

Well, unless huge water cooling is needed, I think something like this is best of both worlds:

So they have a unique 45 degree panel just like all the other cases coming out with 45 degree panels too?
