NZXT H630 Ultra Tower Chassis Review

Lets start with the top panel, a clean white finish and a custom shaped front edge that adds a nice little accent to the top front of the chassis. There’s a full length ventilation panel (black) around the edge, this will provide airflow to any top mounted cooling.

The left side panel is also completely plain and in many ways its featureless, the only things to mention are the air intake section along the edge of the top panel and the rounded edges toward the front panel.

The front panel continues this minimalist look and nice cutaway allow the top panel to put out over the front panel, this servers no purpose but the thick black edging on these uber thick panels adds a nice style touch and a focal point on an otherwise plain looking design.

The right side panel is just as plain as the left. although this side features no air intakes for the top mounted cooling, you will find the right side of the front panel has air intakes instead, allowing airflow to any front mounted cooling.

Tucked away on the top right edge of the front panel you will find the main I/O with all the usual features and the addition of a SD card reader, always a welcome bonus. The power and reset buttons can also be found on this corner, placed on the top panel.

Around the back we see the top panel raises well above the main chassis, allowing for further air flow thanks to some groves cut into the black trim. Further down from there we have the motherboard I/O cut-out and the familiar and highly versatile NZXT fan mount, this can support 120mm / 140mm fans and radiators, but the elongated screw mounts allow you to adjust mounting height, very handy given water coolers and other accessories generally vary in size.

Further down from there we have a staggering 9 expansion slots, each fitted with high quality covers, with a little extra ventilation to the right side of these. Other features include some simple thumb screws for the side panels, a bottom mounted PSU cut-out and a white LED light above the motherboard I/O which can be illuminated with a button on the side panel, handy for finding those pesky USB ports in a dark.

The underside of the chassis shows a less minimalist approach, with two dust filters that cover the full length of the chassis. The rear one covers the PSU air-intake and is long enough to supply clean air to even the largest PSU’s on the market, while the front one is perfect for extra long radiators and the fans that drive them, you can also see the chassis is pre-cut for mounting fans and radiators here, which is good news for those installing a custom loop.
