The NZXT H5 Flow (2024) without the RGB element has an MSRP of $94.99, which is exactly what the previous H5 Flow variant cost at launch in late 2022. Along the same lines, the new NZXT H5 Flow RGB (2024) has an MSRP of $124.99 - just $5 more as the previous H5 Flow RGB when it hit the market in April 2023 at $119.99. As such, NZXT is being refreshingly consistent with their pricing structure.

Besides that, the NZXT H5 Flow RGB (2024) manages to impress with its clean exterior looks and the lack of plastic, meaning it manages to only utilize glass and steel. The case itself comes with two main unique selling points: one in form of the F360, which embeds three fans into a single frame with a single set of cables, and the bottom section of the case with its unique PSU mounting and drive cage. On top of that NZXT manages to be detail oriented with white cable leads and connectors as well as white plugs to cover the standoffs of the motherboard or those white Velcro strips.

On the inside, the case manages to easily hold long PSUs and while the case is quite compact, at over 7 kg it still feels hefty. Both large GPUs and large CPU air coolers will easily fit as well. The biggest gripe we have is the fact that the H5 Flow RGB (2024) does not allow for anything but a 240 mm AIO in the ceiling, as most memory will be too tall for a 280 mm variant. The biggest oddity here is that NZXT stopped what feels like mere millimeters from the finish line of being able to provide room for 360 mm AIOs in the ceiling. While this may not be such a big deal, as you could move the F360 to the ceiling and then employ an AIO of that size in the front, it still seems like an odd restriction - especially as support has become the norm in the majority of mainstream mid-tower cases these days. There are also smaller oddities like the bare minimum I/O that has been a staple for NZXT cases of this price segment, unfortunately.

Overall, the NZXT H5 Flow (2024) is a beautiful case, where the glass side panel that seamlessly melts into the overall design and the unique F360 inclusion is a big reason the build looks so clean. While it isn't perfect, we can recommend the chassis wholeheartedly, knowing that the custom tooling and design carries a very justifiable, small price premium in comparison what the market offers when you look at more generic OEM variants that are in turn slightly more affordable.
