I also like the Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic (having reviewed the more compact Lian Li O11D Mini) as having a unique design with good support for water cooling setups. It also has more internal volume to work with custom water cooling loops and larger motherboards. I'm a huge fan of the Corsair iCUE 5000T RGB, which is a slightly larger mid-tower case than the H7 Elite, but has far better airflow, thanks to the front panel grill. There are plenty of mid-tower cases out there, being one of the more popular form factors. All fan mounts were populated with everything set to 50%. To test this case, I used the same AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, and Asetek-based 360mm AIO cooler setup used inside other PC cases we review here. Two 2.5-inch drive bays can be removed behind the motherboard, as well as a 3.5-inch HDD cage for even more space below the PSU shroud. This is invaluable for creating a clean PC build without a mess of cables to work around when wanting to dive back inside. Present on all NZXT H7 cases is cable routing on the rear of the motherboard tray. The NZXT H7 Elite is a stunning PC case with more tempered glass than you'll know what to do with. NZXT is often praised for its cable management and it was upgraded for the H7 Elite. There's plenty of volume inside the H7 Elite for installing even the largest graphics cards and motherboards. NZXT looked at how the panels are attached to the mainframe and made changes so they're all easier to remove without the use of a screwdriver. All seven are horizontal for the H7 Elite. One issue you may notice if you install a GPU vertically is the lack of any vertical PCI slots. Finally, a 140mm fan can be installed on the rear panel, resulting in a total of seven fans for cooling. A dust filter is present both here and on the side and bottom of the H7 Elite to help prevent dust from entering the chassis.Ī 360mm radiator can be installed up top, as well as on the front behind the glass panel. On the top, you'll find two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports, one USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port, and a 3.5mm audio jack, followed by perforated vents for the 360mm radiator and three fan mounts. Our review sample was an all-white H7 Elite with a large side tempered glass window and a secondary front panel. While this wasn't a problem for anyone who wasn't rocking an Intel Core i9 or AMD Ryzen 9 processor, it's a vast improvement that creates a cleaner PC.Ĭompared to the NZXT H7 Flow and NZXT H7, the H7 Elite is a little heavier at 11.36kg but still matches the same dimensions of 230mm x 505mm x 480mm. The most important upgrade for the H7 Elite over the outgoing NZXT H710i is the redesign of the top panel and the inclusion of a side vent to aid airflow. There are also three RGB-equipped fans installed on the front panel hooked up to an RGB and fan controller, only available with the H7 Elite. This case is special in that NZXT included an additional tempered glass panel for the front of the chassis. The NZXT H7 Elite is the range-topping model that launched alongside the H7 Flow and H7.
