NZXT H9 FLOW RGB+ CASE Review

This is not a economical case. Not in any episode of imagination. At USD 290, for this specific variant is on a dense absurd. To such an extent that even the most enthusiastic system builders can be complex to justify this thing in their wheelchair. But NZXT thinks it’s worth it. He thinks you are ready to make cash. And I think it could be something here.

The H9 composition is undoubtedly Crowning Glory NZXT. The flagship, the peak of everything that can throw into a good chassis design. I built the latest, in his elite configuration, along with much too huge glass and insufficient intake, as well as Ryzen 99550X and RTX 5090, and I learned this experience that he seriously needed much more up-to-date accents in terms of cable management, as well as how to handle its cooling. Yes, it was good, but certainly not the best case of the year a bit good; It’s a fact.

Fortunately for me, this diminutive number appeared in my inbox. Testing a modern and improved, redesigned and rebuilt H9 flow was too tempting to vomit. For those who know NZXT cases, you can immediately consider this as extremely similar to the H6 flow, which the company introduced in 2024.

Indeed, in many ways it seems that it is simply this case, but scaled. You get the same recessed nests of the lower fan. The same angular side ventilation and the same sweeping design aesthetics also internally. Beat your head on the back of the housing and you will also see an extremely similar internal layout. Complete with Velcro stripes and Do-Dads cable management. Has work.

But a lot has changed here. The most crucial thing is that they included these fans. Flow H9 has been designed for 140 mm fans. . Flow RGB+ I have here testing with two sets of completely modern RGB NZXT fans, installed as a standard, all directed and ready to leave and transferred to the attached fan controller. They are terrible and thanks to this combination of the chassis and frames they look stunning. In fact, it reminds you of what Phanterks did with his Evolv X2 at the beginning of this year and, of course, NZXT with its own H6 and H7 flow.

Cable management also recorded significant improvements. Full compatibility with main panels of the connector connectors is currently standard, and NZXT has also done a lot here to improve this specific building impressions. Very specifically, if you decide not to go with BTF, it contains a pop-up plastic panel that will allow you to travel 24-pin “old school” cables. However, go in Prima Donna mode, and the cover simply remains completely rinsed there.

NZXT also included magnetic, protected by the door screw here, as well as a variety of SSD assembly points, as well as a few nice cable management additions here, and if you look enough close to the lower left side of the rear tray, there is enough space to press some of these unwanted front and/o. Pretty.

Apart from, it is extremely roomy, and if you keep these core frames F420 RGB, super rapid, especially because everything is pre -made for you. In addition, with this larger power supply (it is much more heavier than the one found on H6), even if you do not want to manage the cables in the nine, you do not intend to see it anyway and you can simply press the plot in the back. Everything is well ventilated and everything works. The H6 flow was a good case and it turns out that if you scale it, the same basic principle applies.

The main downside is, of course, this price. The standard H9 flow starts from $ 170 or £ 150, and up to $ 290 /250 £ for the full RGB+apartment. You can justify it in a sense, considering that you will effectively get a case with seven fans and a decent controller, but it is still a huge investment straight from the gate and it is also not brilliant; The H9 flow has problems.

There is still no removable bracket in the highest place of assembly of the radiator (although angle lateral intake is made); The F120 fan at the rear, compared to all F420 in the chassis, seems economical and feeble and simply has not yet refreshed, like other double solutions+ fan (it lacks side lighting and cleaner appearance); And internal painting work seems the same in a housing worth 80 USD, not perfect for what is.

Despite this, they are all quite diminutive disputes in the great scheme of things. If you can quench your cash and don’t mind F Core fans, this is an absolute feast. Not only does it look like a part, but maintains stern chilled and controlled when he does. No confusion. No mess. Just a uncomplicated, basic set.
