@@HumbleDude46995 That's more about using a thick 360 mm radiator for the CPU and a massive air cooler or another AIO for the GPU. Having a good case won't magically make these components cool if you do not have adequate coolers on them in the first place.
I love my H7 Flow with 5x Arctic 140mm PWM fans. Lowest temps I've seen by far in any air-cooled tests. I barely can break 60C with a Scythe FUMA2 on a 5600x with PBO enabled unless I run Prime95.
I'm looking to opt for a similar setup, instead only 4x the 140mm but an Arctic LF3 360 on the top. Temps look promising. How is the noise though, have you had to fiddle with fan-speeds?
can you please take a 5min of your time and measure at the front, behind front fans, lenght from bottom to the top (place where front radiator comes), I want order this case but wondering if there is a space to crank 420mm radiator there...thanks in advance.
Best option here is making your own H7 Flow Elite: Buy H7 flow, and the 3 pack of 120mm RGB fans + controller. Comes out at about $30 more than the elite, and you get the best of both worlds. Plus you can get the sweet white and black color.
H7 Flow with better performing RGB fans (ST120, P12 ARGB, Squa, or heck even AL120) would likely perform better than the H7 Elite and might be even be cheaper. Some of the fan examples also support daisy chaining so hub is not required. Plus, you can see the RGB through the beautiful ventilated front panel.
think its a little on the expensive side for what it is, but if i needed a new case and had to pick one out of the three i'd go for the flow and put the extra money into some more case fans
I originally wanted to upgrade my h510 to the h5 flow because of the new top mount for aio's but it only supports 240m aio and I have a 280m after research o found out about the h7 flow and I've changed my mind the h7 flow is so nice
I have an H7 (non elite, non flow) with an i7-12700kf and a 4080 and my temps never go above 40 degrees playing destiny 2, total war: Warhammer III, aliens fireteam elite, or new world so idk I think it's a great case
Without having an RGB and fan control controller (Fan Hub), in the H7 Flow version will I be able to adjust the fan speed using the "NZXT Cam" app? Or is this only possible with the controller (Fan Hub) that is installed in the H7 Elite?

I'd buy the H7 Flow. I detest RGB, on fans in particular, so the Elite would be a waste of money for me, as I would yeet those RGB fans straight into the trash can. (Rubbish bin) Well done on the review!!
Im surprised that case makers havent drilled holes into their front glass panels yet. They coukd sell them as an extra purchase. Yeah, itd be expensive but youd have glass and airflow. I thinl itd be cool anyway. Lol. Not sure if the market is big enough for that.
Anyone know how wide of a motherboard can fit in without removing the cable shroud? I’m looking to build a PC with an Aorus Aero Z690 D E-ATX Form Factor; 30.5cm x 25.9cm.
I'll be doing a lot of rendering and probably overlocking, i love the double glass look. Would adding 3 120mm fans to the top of the Elite vbe better for keeping good temps than the H7 flow?
I was very close to getting the h7 flow, I wanted the option of being able to install a 360 mm radiator in the top or the front. But the price was hard to justify. I went for the Thermaltake H570 TG . It may be quite new or not very relevant because I did not find reviews, but it seems like a decent option.
Ive been using an H440 for years, so I am not afraid of terrible airflow. I am thinking about buying the Elite. I thought your video was good, but the hate towards the solid H7 doesn't sit right with me. I have never personally met anyone to ever leave the stock fan config. So assuming that someone buys it and populates all the front fan slots, it would be the same as the Elite, that also has "the same" solid front panel.
I just bought the h7 flow and the triple pack of rbg 120mm fans + controller. Overall comes out like $30 more expensive than the elite but you get mesh front and RBG fans.
I have the H7 Flow and it's a total nightmare to work with and as of now it's impossible to build in this thing properly 1. it has no instructions. 2. The cable bar is supposed to be able to come out, but it's attached to the case which makes adding in a 30 series card pointless. 3. The HDD chassis at the bottom of the case is another part that you're supposed to be able to remove but simply can't The screw that holds it down is attached to the case so you cannot separate it. On top of that, the chassis itself is still basically welded to the case it will wiggle a little bit, but you cannot remove it. 4. There are a on of screws with this and not a single label saying what they go to. This case is terrible to work in.
can anyone who own any of H7 cases take a measurement...there's some discusion online but nobody confirmed that's possible mount 420mm rad in the front...from the images, seems like there's a space, tho you could not probably pull out whole front fan holder out in that case but that's not an issue...

I think the market is coming away from multitudes of hard drives now, so I can see why NZXT only went with 2. Apart from my NAS, I've not used hard drives in forever.
@@eTeknix Given the size of case they could have easily provided that option for 1 extra 3.5" drive bay. If I remember correctly their H700 and H710 did support 3x 3.5" drive bays. There are still a lot of users who use 3.5" drives for storing large sized files(before moving them to NAS or just internal drives as NAS can get quite expensive quickly).
nothing special. my phanteks p600S beeing an older case has better cooling preformace and aio configurations than this case ,and putting 2x120mm fans on that price is a joke

Agreed, that I'd go with the flow and buy some decent PWM fans, though RGB in the flow would be nice too.
I would pick the lian li lancool 2 mesh performance or rgb over this one.

If the price drops to the 4000d airflow then it might be interesting.Their elite versions are fine for RUclipsr videos=high price,bright lights.
The elite would probs be good to show case water cooled builds but I dunnonif I'd wanna stick a 3080 in one

Since you have reviewed both, which one would you prefer and why? H7 flow or Torrent Compact?
the h7 is basicaly a refresh of the h710 with much needed improvements, and a lowered price.

the side panel vent does restrict the airflow

Do you think that this case is better than the up and coming Lain li mesh lancool iii?
Hard to tell as I’ve not tested it 😝
Is that correct temp result?
H7 Elite has small intake at front but the airflow was good
OMG!!!
Yes but the tradeoff is that it's loud as hell, cause the fans have work a lot harder to achieve these results compared to the airflow variant.
am I the only one who wishes they offered an H7 Flow Elite??? I want the open front, but also the RGB fans and fan controller... 🤔

You could have been more clear about the fact that the fan hub is only included with the Elite model imo.
Push pull radiation supported on front?
Yep if using a 30mm rad and 25mm fans and then more fans on the front, other side of the metal.

H7 Flow / buy more funs = easy choice for 3080 / 12700k build. If you like RGB get RGB fans they will shine through.
good video ! although I probably won’t get the case, I would definitely get those fans if they are hope to be soon sold separately
