Thanks for the thorough review Mr. Robey!
You are welcome!
Now if you would restock them in europe that would be nice because i am already waiting for 2 weeks and none are available :)
Already have all of the other parts for my new pc just no H9 Flow available to buy :(
Make ur fans better pls. Some people use different motherboards and they cant connect/control all 10 fans. Disappointed
We’re can I buy a H9 from
Why is the h9 flow not in stock everywhere in uk
The fact that you put the max allowed GPU Clearance is appreciated. Thanks man.
I love your sense of humor and you're very engaging to listen too. Never bored, never skipped. Highly informative! Thank you so much for doing this comparison!
Ordered the black flow model this morning. Im freaking pumped!
Great production, loved the video. Best video I've found on this yet to make a decision
Finished my H9 elite build last week and I managed to fit 3 140mm on the bottom but overall they did a fantastic job on the case
Isn't the maximum capacity only for 3×120mm.
That means even with a cpu lasting games the NZXT h9 elite have good Temps?
Even if 99% users doesn't seems to have noticed, There is still a major difference in my regard. The Lian Li o11 Evo has a Tinted Glass, which im not sure to like compared to the NZXT H9 that has a CLEAR VIEW glass, which will be amazing. Depending on preferance, I think the tinted glass looks more premium and stealthy, BUT will be more shadow,dark than the NZXT H9. Im not sure just for that reason which one I would prefer honestly. I'm surprised no one has talked about this xD
agreed bro
"premium and stealthy" subjectively better aesthetic sure, but the tinted glass also makes the system..."cooler" :p
i love the tinted black
Actually the black version of the H9 also have tinted glass
I just bought an o11 evo rgb. I currently have the h9 but it's too tall. Yes it's a roomy pc case but it seems like there is so much no needed room and I like how the evo o11 is short and a little more compact I guess you can say. My h9 takes most of my desk. Lol. I think the evo is better as aesthetic wise yes the evo but for room the h9
Awesome vid. Love how you have a black and white build on display, with one vertical and one not, one cpu fan and one aio cooler. Wish more pc videos took after this!
Fantastic video. I was bouncing around google a lot looking for this info. Finally found what I was looking for here.
such a good quality video, im surprised yall didnt have like millions of subscribers already
Really good review, fairly comprehensive. Although it lacked noise levels comparison
Waiting on mine to arrive now. Got the H9 elite otw. Btw i got the PNY 4080 to fit in the H5 elite with watercooler mounted. I thought it wouldnt work but does and temps are not bad. But cant wait to build this sucker next week! Great breakdown vid my guy.
I was considering on wanting to get the Lian Li o11 case for my next build but I’ve decided to go with the NZXT H9 Elite because that case looks so clean I like it.
It's quality
hey bro, this was a super helpful video and review, I enjoyed it very much
i love my Y60 , but i would consider this on my next build for sure!
Awesome case. Not sure if it's worth upgrading from the O11-DynamicXL but it's definitely nice. Wish mine didn't have the silver/aluminum front panel. I like how it's white on this one
I sprung for the H9 Flow and even without adding lower case fans my rig runs very cool.
With a Corsair H150i Elite 360 AIO
CPU - 7950X3D = 60C in gaming, peak of 87C in Cinebench R23 multi core
GPU - Gainward Phantom GS 4090 = 56C in gaming
I game at 4K 120 FPS very settings cranked up to max.
What ram sticks do you use?
@@cl11334 GSkill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6000 CL30
mine wasn't in a case, I screwed it to a piece of wood.. lol 55C without fans playing payday2 on steam lol saved money too
Damn that upright EVGA looks so good
I do like the corner without steel where the glass meets on the H9 better than the 011.
that is pretty much what has sold me on the h9 over the 011 too, much nicer look
But the 011 has the rgb strip
There are also RUclips videos showing how to mod the o11 to have an all glass corner.
I'm having a custom liquid cooled h9 elite built with the rtx 4090 with 32 gigs of ram and a few Terabytes of storage and memory.and many more cosmetic Customizations.. 👊
Can you still fully utilize a radiator at the top of the H9 elite since its glass. Or are spaces for air which i am not seeing
I’m looking forward to the Phanteks NV7
DO you think I'd have room to fit lianli strimer cables into my rog strix 4090 if it were vertically mounted in this case?
4:32 whats that top light in the black nzxt case
Just wondering as I have not seen a build yet that has done a push/pull on the top radiator with the pull fans on the top side of the bracket and underneath the top panel.
With the Flow's top panel I would think this is ideal, especially since the AIO is likely going to come with fans that won't fit with the rest of the case fans used and can be utilized out of sight.
Do they simply just not fit up there (not enough clearance to put the top panel on flush)?
CAn you share GPU temps with the vertical against the horizontal build please?
I really like how at 4:59 you show the distance of the card to the side panel, which is really important for vertical build. It seems that there is plenty of room for the card fans to suck air.
Is this the case for o11 Dynamic Evo as well ?
What is the light that is used to light up the black case (in white light)?
Where did you get the light bar from in the black Nzxt h9 flow at the beginning of the video at 0:15 above the CPU air cooler?
In the case of O11D Evo, you actually can stuffed up to 13 fans inside that case with that optional mesh front panel.
funny.. my last rig had no fans exept the cpu fan... ran really cool... cuz it was in open air stuff to a walnut board...and 1 $10 box fan roughly 2 1/2 feet in diameter..saved $250 and put in in for twice the gpu I was gunna buy... cases should cost $50 because well they're pretty much not needed and just takes up more space while cramming it into a little metal box WILL = a hotter pc
@@harleyme3163 I prefer not having to thoroughly cleaned my pc on a daily basis as I’m currently living in a rather hot and heavily dusty country. So, open air pc of any kind is not an option for me because it’s gonna get dirty real fast.
So with the H9, in a side push and pull 360 AIO config.
@@stephanebarnabe1988 Then, it will be 16 with O11Evo with that config on AIO radiator.
isnt the top covered with a glass panel? where does the air exhaust to if you put fans there
Hi, I see that you have used Lian li fan kit in H9 Elite, but for the rear it is the NZXT RGB fan, is there an alignment issues for the rear fan, I have seen comments from people on other videos that they for rear exhaust they are facing issues with Lian li fan.
Please mention the ambient temp when testing temps. Thank you
on the white setup the only exhaust is the radiator?
why the cpu temp is 75 on the flow and 79 on the elite ? is it because the aircooler vs aio?
well with my nr200p intake cpu fan from the back at 75-80 degrees
What fans are those in the black NXZT case?
What's the light thingy on the black CPU at the beginning?
Problem with the H9 Flow and Elite is , they don't offer E-ATX motherboard support officially in their cases, you have to butcher the poor case and remove parts from the case to make a EATX motherboard fit, like the new X670E boards like the ACE from MSI , Godlike or the Asus one which name i forgot, so for me who have decided i want to get the MSI MEG ACE board , the Evo seems to be the natural solution because NZXT did a poor job at designing it so it would fit a EATX
Great video btw!
Just a question, I am gonna build my first pc at the end of this year and I don’t know much about pcs. At the moment I am thinking about getting an i5 13600K or 13600KF and a 4070. Would this case be too big for those parts, would it make it look empty inside of the pc because that’s what I’m unsure of. I really love the look of this case, just wondering if it would be a weird match with the parts. Also if anyone reads this and knows about pcs, what other parts do you think I should get? My budget is $2500 NZD which is roughly $1500 USD
Can anyone tell me what's the spotlight thing in the black H9 case in this video? I really like it. Is it from a fan? I'm soon going to buy the H9 case and would like to have that kind of light on the top.
The front fans which comes pre installed are they already installed as intake fans or do we have to flip them?
This is the pretty much exact pc I want, how ever should I get an Intel Core i9-13900K or ryzen 9 7950X? Also I realy like Asus features and was wanting an Asus motherboard so which one do you reccomend in this build if you know any good ones.
Thanks for the great review Mr. Robey, can i ask at 5:05 there's kind of a spotlight on the top, inside the black case. Is it a light or RGB fan? Which fan is it?
Anyone know? I am interested too.
I noticed with the Lian li evo the glass side panel was not fitted. Is this because the power cable on the 4090 hits the glass when the gpu is installed horizontally? Was wondering if both cases have problems with a 4090 in horizontal fitting with regards to the power cable. thanks.
if not. mount it vertically, lt looks cooler and you can clearly afford the stuff for it
I want a small form factor case like this.
Can you fit a EATX mobo in it? Z790 tachyon
what are those fans in the black one??
What CPU cooler is the white case using?
Can a 244mm x 244mm mATX motherboard fit inside the elite edition?
Anyone know where I can get that background from 8:28?
do you have a build vid with the H9 elite?
Can you do push pull configuration on h9 flow ?
I really want to buy this case. But I’m unsure if 2 4090 suprim liquid would fit properly
My next will be a Phanteks NV7 or NV5. (waiting for the NV5 release to decide)
Thanks for the good video.
I have a question.
I'm currently using Rog Helious (with all 4 stock 140mm fans) and Rog Raujin 360 MK I (with the small display) and stock Noctua fans on it,
thinking about changing case (Phanteks NV9 or 7; O11 Evo D XL or NZXT H9 Flow).
So question is which one is better for GPU and CPU Temp if any?
Thanks.
I still don't know which one I will get. H9 flow or lian o11 dynamic
When is phankteks nv series review !! Cant wait
was going for it liked it alot but cant fit a custom water cooling in it sadly
so how the NZXT stands out against O11D?
Anyone has the build of the PC showed around 6:00 to 8:00 ? The Black build with white RGB lights
I have a question about the case, maybe anyone can help me?
if i put 3 fans with a custom water cooling system (Corsair) at the right side of the case, how long can the GPU be, that it doesn't overlap with the fans, so I have enough space for the pump.
stunning case. but with they offered side mount gpu
Don't forget Montech sky two!! Probably the budget king
So no mention of storage bays???
Okay, maybe there’s a small part of me that thought there might be a bigger difference in temps in the Elite and Flow versions…
Also, Corsair are rolling out updated RGB Elite versions of the 4000D Airflow and 5000D airflow with the RGB AF fans plus mounts on the PSU shroud for airflow for the graphics card. Will this warrant a side-by-side build comparison between the original and updated 4000D/5000D cases with the same PC components to see whether the Elite has become better in any way?
Side note: are you thinking about updating the current Robeytech titles to match the font of the newer Robeytech Live titles? Been looking back and forth between the two sequences and the text could not be any more different.
Its a pretty nice case, but this case costs 2000 reais in Brazil, 400 dollars more or less, haha, it's a pretty tough investment, but I think it's worth it
i wish i knew that before i built my pc
good looking build but im so tired of rgb at this point, my next pc will just be in a well vented itx case
Temps are a fair amount better in this case than the Lian. I prefer this one if running a GPU that utilizes a lot of watts like a RTX 3070 Ti and higher. For the RTX 4000s series, 4080 and higher. 4070 Ti for some reason just runs slightly cooler than a 3070 Ti.
We tested the case we test all cases and the results show what they show. We use the same hardware and everything to minimize the variables.
NZXT H9 Flow - Black Edition.
just get the montech sky two, has also 4 rgb fans for about 100
just waiting for the nv7 to come out D=
anyone watercooled in this? how was it
Hey Robey have you noticed a big temperature difference and performance on the GPU when mounted verticaly even thou there are 3 fans below it?
Nope.
@@robeytech Awesome so I should not see a change in performance if I mount the GPU vertically vs Horizontaly?
@@siropmosis5395 You will mechanically and logically see a difference. But marginal to 2/3 degrees
Does the side mesh have dust filters?
Yes it does
if i had the money for pc in case like this its going to be h9 flow with nzxt duo rgb fans (now on intel 4430 lol
H9 elite i got
i took the nzxt h9 elite, just because it looks way better and better from detail point of view
You can't remove the front panel which makes the build slightly more fiddly.
You can you just have to remove a screw
Very nice, but I’ll stick with my Lian Li 011 XL
a lot more to do with the xl
How would this cope with a 4090 and a 13900ks ? Would you need a freezer like the Rog ryuo 360 iii inside a h9 flow to withstand the high temps?
No. Big case good airflow
I have exactly what you are saying and i don't pass 60 degrees under heavy load on my cpu and 45 on my 4090. Thats with the case being maxed out with fans though
@@Opeth614 Those are great temps, but are the fans to the maximum to reach that? what rpm and how noisy it is? Thank you!
@@kalkydra nope just standard rpm. I'm usually around 800-900 rpm for the case fans. Pretty quiete tbh. Only time it gets loud is when I try to overclock and turn up the fans manually
@@Opeth614 Thank you for the answer. At those RPM with those specs then there is really no need to water cool to be silent. Nice!
are the fans included in the case good enough to cool a build i have planned?

omg, I'm still going crazy I can not decide! this is really crass, the case should just look cool but that tuen somehow both but somehow both are too fat. black or white? until then is lian li with case 17 out and the decision continues.....
Honestly I like this case. But i think i might wait for the Phanteks NV7.
when is that gonna come put
The NV7 has ZERO style in my opinion. It has about as much cool factor as a Toyota Prius.
lian li rgb fans are the best looking fan imo, your kinda wasting money if your not gonna use the included fans with the h9, im shopping for a build and have the same issue with the IO. I want the nzxt kraken but dont like nzxt fans, so have to buy 3 additional lian li fans to replace the ones that come with the IO. If NZXT upped their fan game, i could consider a full nzxt case, IO and fan build all connected to their controller for sync.
was my choosen case for my next build...untill i found out it cannot take eatx duh
The problem that I persistently see in these cases is the lack of space and clearance. When will manufacturers figure it out?
why my pc is in air (screwed to a walnut board) it sits 5 degree's cooler WITHOUT extra fans LOL cases is a waste of money in my opinion
YES! also can't we have a much better balance of being stylish, and build ease/room? I'm pricing out a custom build. and it's so...ticky tack to have a cramped space, and awful internal lay out! and wtf people? did wires hurt you at some point? the first thing all reviewers get a hard on for is how you hide the wires. Not all of us make 99999 builds a second! I want it to be easy to use the case the odd times I want to get at the motherboard.
@@gorkskoal9315 I could not have said it better myself. Thank you.
Why would you blow the gpu fan against the glass like that?
NZXT H9 NİCE CASE 🥰🥰🥰
NZXT didn't give Twomad his free PC though
In this case lian li O11 is better since metal part hide's edges of glass that look unfinished. Also I prefer LIan LI O11 air mini case, since with slight mod can also fit top mount 360mm radiator.
NZXT cases look great but the gauge of the metal they use needs to be upgraded. You can literally bend the case with your finger tips.
4:10 The O11 Dynamic can run up to 13 Fans. Not sure if you would ever need that many, but hey. The Lian Li is still at the top of my list, but admittedly, the NZXT beats the Lian Li with its design choices.
The NZXT case is good, their new DUO fans however are just like Corsairs...a complete cable management nightmare...
Agreed!
GIM and montech both have cheaper entry level cases similar
NZXT RGB connectors and control used to be a proprietary abomination, this was one thing I did not like and Lian Li did it better. Not sure if they have improved on this.
The corner glass goes hard but it limits the overall potential in the long run. I believe the Lian Li is more future proof and has a bigger community of users for support.
lol support
H9 flow much better? H9 elite kinda not worth?
h9 flow is better in terms of airflow, but the elite is more for looks and it includes rgb fans.
They should just sell an optional glass top. Also It'd be nice if they had a flow version with no fans for like $130.
@@PowGetRekt indeed. Who wants those shitty fiddly fans
Lian Li o11-120$ NZXT H9-230$ Brad you carry!
what is that cpu fan anyone?
