Product Information

You’ll also find a tiny filter underneath the case used for bottom intake, even though there aren’t any fan mounts at the bottom. Gaming saw an average of 71 C, which is better than the outgoing case, but still short of the N7 Flow. x interface, and a power button surrounded by an LED power-indicator ring rest at the top panel’s front edge. If you were wanting to use more powerful (and power-hungry) processors, you would quickly encounter issues if not using all fan mounts.

The showstopper is the H7 Elite which has three RGB fans at the front of the case that provide an impressive lightshow. The HAF 500 fed our GPU the coolest air, followed by the H7 Flow without the top exhaust filter fitted in place, and then the H7 Flow with top exhaust filter.Obviously, the H7 Flow has a perforated front panel, allowing the case’s front fan (or fans) to intake air directly from the front. We love the H7 Flow, and the sad thing for NZXT is that the H7 Flow also clearly highlights where the standard H7 and H7 Elite fall short of greatness. In Win’s N515 leads in CPU temperatures due to its different radiator placement, but the H7 Flow almost caught it when we removed the exhaust filter from our configuration. It’s relatively affordable, impressed during testing, and importantly in my eyes, it takes a different approach to airflow with a perforated metal front and top, rather than boring (and potentially restricting) fine mesh.

For the H510 series, NZXT started off by launching their standard H510, later launching their enhanced H510i model, and later their H510 Elite.Those changes to the panels are welcome, however they fix problems that should never have existed in the first place.
