NZXT H5 Flow RGB Black Mid Tower PC Case Review

Interior

The side panel glass lifts away, allowing you quick and easy access to the case interior. The layout is pretty much what we’ve seen from NZXT for many years now, with a large cut-out behind the motherboard, and a large cable guard on the right to cover any cable routing.

There’s also an elongated cable routing cut-out above the motherboard.

As well as two on the PSU shroud.

However, while the PSU shroud is pretty much a common sight on PC cases now, this one is certainly different! It features a built-in fan that pulls air from the front lower section of the case and moves it up through the case towards the top rear. It has a special mouled mount too, which should smooth out the airflow and prevent any unwanted turbulence.

The front fans are mounted to a fully removable mounting bracket too, making them easy to install/remove relatively quickly. Plus, there’s a full-cover front panel dust filter that’s easily accessible.

Behind the filter, you can see the fans themselves. This is the RGB version of the H5 Flow, so as you can see, they’re NZXT’s own brand RGB fans too!

There’s an additional fan in the rear too. However, while the front fans are both 140mm ARGB, this is an all-black 120mm fan.

Behind the motherboard, there’s loads of room for routing thick cables. However, there’s a huge PSU shroud too, so cramming excess cables out of sight isn’t going to be much of a problem.

There are four Velcro straps throughout the back of the case, which will deal with most of your cables. However, I can count at least 13 cable tie loops that you can use too, and there are three plastic routing guards to help further direct cables. Overall, that’s about as comprehensive as cable routing can be, so top marks there for NZXT.

Behind the motherboard, there’s room for a pair of 2.5″ drives, and that mounting plate also supports a 3.5″ drive should you need it.
