I'll be doing a lot of rendering and probably overlocking, i love the double glass look. Would adding 3 120mm fans (plus the liquid cooling) to the Elite be better for keeping good temps than the H7 flow?
Great review! Going back and forth between this and the H7 Flow. When you consider the Elite gives you 3 RGB fans and a controller (which in Canada would cost an extra $160) but the case is only $100 more than the H7 Flow (again in Canada) its actually cheaper to get the Elite if you like those specific RGB fans. But I am worried about the air flow in the front....
It’s well worth to give your pc a wide clearance on all sides and raise it 1M off the ground, and buy the elite. If you absolutely can’t spare the space in your setup, get the flow, but the flow isn’t going to give you enough cooling options to comfortably use a 4090. The elite will happily accommodate a 13th gen Intel, a 4090, and a dedicated CPU AIO. $6000 for the above build and all color coordinated is a no brainer if you have the money and the need for a computer that powerful. You can get a pc that will play any game for $1200, and a pc this powerful will only really show its strength in VR. Either way if you take care of it, this thing will last for two complete builds(roughly 15 years) and accommodate any parts you want to shove into it without looking like a mini fridge. Sub $200 get the elite.
@@Mayson2006 Well, in all honesty, we made them around 10+ years ago, at the time we were heavily in debt, which helped us win some awards that helped us get out of debt. that's why we keep them in the studio as it reminds us where we came from.

Got that for my 3rd/current build. The least fun and longest time I had building a pc but it's the build I wanted for years but couldn't quite afford until now. The holes on top of the case for the aio rad were too small for the screws. managed to break through 4 holes so it's snug and doesn't move. I didn't get a 3.0 psu so I had to use three 8 pin pcie cables which had the thick nylon cover and the adapter that came with the 4090. The drive bays are severely hindering space for the nylon so I'm glad to know it can be removed.
Get the elite and a dedicated CPU AIO. You can use the space as you see fit but give the GPU a straight flow from front to back so that the front fans will create positive pressure, maximizing the GPU fan’s efficiency. Have the rear fan and AIO as exhaust, and you’ll be just fine no watercooling. Or if you’re ready for the headache, do watercooling and this thing will be colder than a beer.
the problem is even though the h9 (elite since people would most likely buy that) has a glass top which practically prohibits a heat exhaust from the top. it has the same design flaw with the h7 and the h5 just has a single fan top
@@zanxro7969 No there is no glass on top and only perforated top panel. Therefore, the radiators are installed on top and cooling is not an issue. H7 is a solid cabinet but not meant for top end gpus & cpus.
@@zanxro7969 Oh my bad. I saw the images of flow version and misinterpreted it as being part of the Elite series. Yes, I agree the Elite series do seem to have this issue. Most likely this series is intended for those who prioritize aesthetics.
My personal opinion if you plan to liquid cool you’re a computer get the elite but if you plan to have more of an airflow build get the flow. I was planning on getting those infinity mirror fans but now I’m not too sure if I get the flow Seems like most of the lighting will be blocked off anyways.
Yes you can. The fan hub that comes with the elite has extra slots for you to connect additional RGB fans if you want to swap out the rear exhaust fan with an RGB one

I'm in the same boat, it's pretty simple to me. If the case is on the floor get the flow.. if it's on your desk get the elite.
@@Silentstep66 why do you differ in floor and desk? Makes it any thermal difference or just by the look?
@@krümelbert_gandelcookie on the floor makes thermal cooling harder
im really loving the clean look of no front grill, but I really hate giving up airflow for the clean look.

Love the Falcon in the back
Its actually a fully working PC we made around 8 years ago, also have a ATAT as well. does need some TLC though
@@TechforTechsdang imagine being so rich that you can make a Falcon and an ATAT into a fully functioning pc...sick

is it too loud like they say ? I already ordered it
thank you for the great review!
No problem and thanks for watching
are you recommend this with i9 13900k and 3080ti? or should I go with fractal torrent with cpu air cooling….

What is the noise output like?
Can I put 6 fans on front to get more air?
Does everything comes in the box to set it up?
So will this bring me problems or at least performance drops with i5 and 3080?
I m doing fine with i9 12900k no issues so far
@Quacc yes
Thanks for this nice review :)
Is it possible to install 3 140mm fans at the top or does it have to be 3 120mm fans?
2 140 or 3 120
@@Mi-Go much appreciated my friend I was confused on which one to install but take care my friend till next time👌
@@DoraTheNPC np man, just bought this case with 4090 and i9-13900K, hope the airflow isn't too bad
@@Mi-Go how's the airflow been on it?
@@Boogiebandit6 I switched to the flow cause I was too worried, it's been working fine, good thermals
I think this is where h9 series does well that have the mesh on the side and helps 3 fans also proving a good clean look through the glass in front
the problem is even though the h9 (elite since people would most likely buy that) has a glass top which practically prohibits a heat exhaust from the top. it has the same design flaw with the h7 and the h5 just has a single fan top

@@thedigitallens I dont know if you have looked into enough cases but the h9 ELITE has glass at the top but the flow is perforated

@@thedigitallens the H9 elite is a less likely option for people because the flow seems like it is the same but just the glass at the top.

A6
I really want this case to be with the NZXT AER white version fans and not wtih those fans.
Amazing the case!!
Will the 4090 fit in this no problem?
supports all 40 series gpus
Does the RTX 3090 fit in the case?
The 4080 fits so yes
Is it possible to install fans on the bottom of the case
No you cannot.
Could you put a rgb fans for the exaust one?
Yes you can. The fan hub that comes with the elite has extra slots for you to connect additional RGB fans if you want to swap out the rear exhaust fan with an RGB one
Nice case but pretty much identical to Corsair 5000.
Hage 7!
looks like stock case of h7 beeter , h7 elite more temperature , no good
Fine is not ok when you pay that much money.
*3:30** Is that fine mesh, as you said, on the front side (long one) made up on the case itself with metal cutout???* Please Answer
Does this guy not know how to say H???
Don’t be rude
Im sure you meant no offense but Thats a little rude to say don't you think 😊
are you actually mad he has a different accent than you? that’s just silly
Can I put a radiator with two sides of fans?
Does it come with the wires or just the case
Wires? If you meant the controller, than yes there is a bit of jungle at the start but the channels help to get it sorted.
