NZXT, a leader in PC gaming hardware and services, has announced the next generation of the H5 Flow compact mid-tower ATX case. This latest iteration builds upon the legacy of NZXT's most beloved cases, enhancing its cooling capabilities to create the ultimate H5 Flow. The new H5 Flow significantly improves cooling potential while maintaining its compact mid-tower form. It supports up to eight 120 mm fans, including two above the mesh PSU shroud for enhanced GPU cooling. Ultra-fine mesh on the top, front, and side panels optimizes airflow while filtering dust. Additionally, it accommodates up to a 360 mm radiator in the front, allowing users to effectively cool high-end CPUs.

Intel recently announced it would offer an extra two-years warranty on its 13th and 14th gen Core CPUs, but it now seems like not all PC makers will follow suit. The Verge contacted 14 major PC makers and got a very mixed response when they asked if these companies would offer extended warranties on systems sold with said processors. It's important to keep in mind that OEM CPUs only come with a 12-month warranty, whereas retail box CPUs from Intel come with a three-year warranty. As such, most PC makers ought to extend the warranty in their systems by a further two years, as per Intel's new warranty terms and some are indeed doing this, while others appear not to.

However, a few companies appear to be offering up to a five-year warranty for the CPU in their system and these companies include Digital Storm, Falcon Northwest iBuyPower and Maingear, so kudos to them for going the extra mile. Corsair and Origin PC—which belongs to Corsair—are offering four years warranty, which is still pretty decent. This is followed by Puget Systems which will offer three years and finally we have Asus and HP which both will offer another two years of warranty, which is in line with what Intel has promised. Dell and its Alienware subsidiary hasn't promised any extended warranties, but will replace faulty CPUs under Intel's extended warranty and will cover any costs related to replacing the CPU, suggesting that they are offering a two-year extension as well.

NZXT, a leader in PC gaming components, products and prebuilts, builds on its commitment to making PC gaming achievable to all of those with a passion for play with the introduction of NZXT Flex.

Last week NZXT announced its high-end Z790 motherboard for Intel's upcoming 13th gen Core processors and this week, the company is following up that announcement with its first AM5 motherboard for the Ryzen 7000 series, in the shape of the N7 B650E. The board comes with either white or black shielding, although the PCB is black in both cases, as is the rear I/O cover. NZXT has gone for a mid-range feature set, with a 16+2+1 Smart Power Stage design rated at 90 A, which places it on par with ASRock's B650E Steel Legend. Speaking of ASRock, it has been NZXT's OEM in the past, but we can't find a board with the same general layout as the N7 B650E in ASRocks' lineup this time around, so this is either a proper custom design or NZXT has changed its OEM partner.

The board has one PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and two PCIe 4.0 x16 slots, with one having four lanes of bandwidth and the other two lanes of bandwidth. The board also features three M.2 slots, one PCIe 5.0 and two PCIe 4.0, one of which is limited to two lanes of PCIe bandwidth. Other features include 2.5 Gbps Ethernet, a WiFi 6E/Bluetooth 5.2 combo module, an HDMI 2.1 port, four SATA ports and sadly what appears to be a 10 Gbps rather than a 20 Gbps USB-C port around the back. There's also a front header for another 10 Gbps USB-C port. NZXT has all the standard features you'd expect to see on a modern motherboard such as rear mounted clear CMOS and BIOS flashing buttons, debugging LEDs, albeit the basic kind and a good spread of fan headers and RGB LED connectors. A full set of audio connectors are also present and the audio chip of choice is the Realtek ALC1220. The only real hurdle for this board to become a success is going to be the price tag, as NZXT lists the board on its site for US$349.99/€429.99/£429.99, which is a very steep asking price for what's on offer here.

NZXT, a leading designer of computer hardware, software, and services for the PC gaming community, today announces the NZXT N7 Z790 motherboard supporting the latest generation of Intel CPUs. With the newest chipset for Intel CPUs,, the N7 Z790 has all the latest features and is designed for Intel's 13th gen Raptor Lake CPUs. Features such as PCIe gen 5 support and DDR5 RAM will provide with all the power needed to play your favorite games and get the performance you want out of them.

The N7 series of motherboards provide a centerpiece for you to build the PC of your dreams. Housed in a clean metal cover, the N7 easily blends into your NZXT H series case and features smartly placed ports to make building simple. In addition, the N7 Z790 allows you to control your fan curves and plug in RGB Fans or LED strips and customize their lighting using NZXT CAM.

With AMD announcing an October 2022 debut of its mid-range Socket AM5 motherboard chipset, the AMD B650E and B650; manufacturers appear to be ready with a fairly broad selection of products targeting various price-points. The B650E and B650 are expected to have a lighter I/O feature-set than the X670E/X670, and will enable manufacturers to sell motherboards at prices starting at $125. Two of the leading manufacturers, ASUS and ASRock, are ready with their product lists.

The initial ASUS motherboard lineup for the AMD B650E and B650 chipsets include just one product in the mainline Prime series, as many as four from the TUF Gaming series, and two from the ROG Strix series. From these, only one is based on the B650E (meaning, it gets a PCI-Express 5.0 x16 slot besides the M.2 Gen 5 slot). The others are based on the vanilla B650 (PCI-Express 4.0 x16 slot besides M.2 Gen 5 slots). None of the boards has more than 4 SATA 6 Gbps ports. The board to watch out for will be the ROG Strix B650E-E Gaming WiFi, as it could bring several high-end features into the mid-range, and if previous generations of AMD chipset are anything to go by, the B650/E retains CPU overclocking support.

NZXT, a community-driven provider of PC hardware, software, and services, today announces the Canvas QHD Monitors, designed to strike a balance between high resolutions and high frame rates.

Two monitors will be exclusively available from NZXT: The Canvas 27QHD, and 32QHD Curved. They nicely complement an existing PC setup with the choice to ship with a compact stand or VESA mount, and a bezel-less design for an edge-to-edge image. Designed with NZXT's iconic style, Canvas compliments NZXT's award-winning PC builds, components, and suite of peripherals. Canvas monitors feature NZXT CAM support, which allows users to set up custom profile settings to adjust visualization settings based on time of day and type of game.
