NZXT H5 Flow RGB Black Mid Tower PC Case Review

I’m a long-time fan of the NZXT H-series, having owned a fair few of them after upgrading from my NZXT Phantom to the NZXT H440, remember that classic gaming case? That was nearly 12 years ago that came out! Then H440 I reviewed 10 years ago too… how time flies! But, of course, the H-series lives on with the new H5 Flow RGB promising to be one of their best yet. We actually use its bigger brother, the H7 Flow as our CPU cooler test bench these days, and it’s by far one of the best cases on the market. This is basically the same, but a little more compact, so let’s dive in for a closer look!

What NZXT Had to Say

“The H5 Flow RGB features two pre-installed F140 RGB Core fans & two F120Q Quiet Airflow fans so this compact mid-tower stays cooler than cool. With optimized thermal performance and intuitive cable management, the H5 Flow is an ideal chassis for most builds.” – NZXT
