NZXT H5 Flow Tempered Glass Mid-Tower ATX Case - Black [CC-H51FB-01]

Since purchasing this PC through PB Tech I had been feeling nothing but regrets… that I didn’t buy this earlier!! I have been holding out on this for far too long now I can play anything I want to play on PC without having to auto switch the graphics to the absolute minimum in fact it has been the complete opposite I’ve been having real smooth gameplay on many games at max settings! if you’re a casual gamer like myself but don’t want to spend too much to the point where you’ll actually need to buy those real next level monitors this is definately the gaming PC for you! Definately the sweet spot for money spent on pc!

Always stipulations with nzxt.

Nzxt cases are amazing with a caveat. I had the 510 flow previously. The bottom blower fan is a great feature, my current hurdle is mounting a 280mm aio in the front. The only way it will properly is ungly and overhangs the lower fan so i an customizing the fan cage in the front. Other than that, build quality is good, looks are good, cable management is good (with the exception of loss of gpu power cable hole)

Came with scratches

I would have loved to build in this case and the design is beautiful. Unfortunately, it came with two scratches and some black coating missing. However minor these are I just can't unsee it especially on a brand new product. Seems it was caused in manufacturing and not in shipping. Will probably return and try again.Be sure to check for scratches and damage prior to building!

Great airflow optimized PC case

NZXT has made an excellent PC case with the H5 flow. After moving my PC build into this case, I saw a 6 degree temperature drop on my GPU under load compared to the NZXT H510 that I used to have my build in. This case comes with some nice features when building - the cable management options are excellent, having a tray to mount the front fans to helps with installation, and there is ample space for cable storage, though I would highly recommend getting a modular power supply if building in this case, as the bottom intake fan for the GPU does remove some space to hide cables. This has some nice quality of life improvements over the H510 as well, including radiator support in the top of the case as well as the front with the expanded fan mounts, a dust filter for the ... MoreNZXT has made an excellent PC case with the H5 flow.

I used a tower cooler, and had no clearance issues getting the glass back on. I would highly recommend this case if you are looking to do a minimalist style build.

Great case

This case was used for my very first pc build. My requirement was no included rgb, simple design, cable management, and airflow. I loved the idea of a dedicated gpu fan so this case won out between the ones I was considering. I added two 120 fans to the front for 3 total intake fans and one rear exhaust. The aircooled gpu stays around 70 degree's C while under full load. The 6 core cpu, stays under 65 degree's C while under light load using the stock cool that came with it. The case was very easy to work with. The cable management is also very nice. If you have rgb, it's easily viewable through the tinted glass. My motherboard and gpu have a couple small lights easily viewable. That said, the tinted glass is very dark so if you want to see your non-rgb equipment, ... MoreThis case was used for my very first pc build.

Great case looks good. Note no NZXT fan hub

My son needed a larger case to fit his RTX 4080 and I had been interested in this case for awhile, the novelty of a case fan dedicated to the GPU was interesting. It was easy to build in and we added the two 140MM NZXT RGB fans to the front and it looks great. Note this case does not include the NZXT fan hub, which is needed to sync the RGB. Luckily his previous NZXT case had a NZXT fan hub which we recycled into this one. Overall great case, not sure if the featured GPU fan is making any difference to thermals (versus a case not having one), but his RTX 4080 is consistently in the 55-65 C range during extended gameplay. The Ryzen 5900X averages 60-65 C during extended sessions which was about the same in his previous case which is paired with a Corsair 240 MM AIO ... MoreMy son needed a larger case to fit his RTX 4080 and I had been interested in this case for awhile, the novelty of a case fan dedicated to the GPU was interesting.

Looks good, has plenty of space inside

I bought this as a gift for my old grandson’s 10th birthday. He likes it well enough. I had a heck of a time getting the F-Panel (power switch) plug to work. It is a single molex plug and would not turn on the PC. I finally had to cut the wires and solder them to the plug that came with the motherboard. I have never had this issue before. The pins are usually separated so you just match them up. After that we added RBG fans. It looks good also has plenty of space inside for good wire management. Would I buy it again, more than likely not, but it did serve it purpose.

Solid cause if you're not doing a 280 or 360 Aio

I bought this, then sold the H510 flow. This is a better case. You get more air towards the GPU and on the top, you can put a 240mm AIO. NZXT is about the looks, and although this is one of the better looking cases, as far as feel goes, the metal feels weak or cheap. I returned the one I got at Bestbuy, because I used an Amazon gift card to buy one from Amazon.

Tremendous Case. Great Quality & Thermals

I have owned this case for 6 months. I have a 5800x and 280 rad, with a 6650xt. I also have mounted an 8 terabyte WD Red hard drive along with two 4 terabyte SSDs. I need a lot of storage for things. This case is quiet, compact enough, but most importantly for me, looks good. It's just classy. A monolith of information in the corner. A metal vehicle for data. Perfect for AIOs, enough space for all your parts. I had a 6800xt in it for a while and was cool cool cool with the basement fan. Plenty of cable management options. Mountings for both 5.25 inch and other drives. Basement fan is not just a gimmick- compared to my old fractal meshify my components are dramatically cooler. Buying another for my wife.

very solid

it’s a pretty much a big upgrade from the old H510 in terms of temps my OC’d 3060 doesnt seem to reach 60 C thanks to the mesh front and an angled fan that points to the gpu. with this case you can now either install two 120mm fans top exhaust compared to just one from the old H510 or you can now top mount a 240mm radiator which is superb considering now your gpu gets fresh air instead of breathing hot air from front mounted radiators usually installed on the old H510. Pick one up, at least order two 140mm fans for front intake and you ballin with great temps!
