NZXT H9: the premium case that doesn't skimp on glass

After a long time, NZXT introduced a completely new line of computer cases. The H9 models are aimed at the most demanding customers, who want a good view of their components through the various side windows.

The H9 series is defined by a mid-tower design with a top, bottom and side layout for cooling elements. The front of the cabinet is only filled with glass, which can be found on one side. The upper side differs depending on the variant. The H9 Elite will offer glass, H9 Flow perforated metal lid.

You can place graphics up to 435mm long inside both cases. The top part offers space for three 120 mm fans or two 140 mm fans. In the case of gout, you have identical options. Three more 120 mm fans can be placed on the side of the motherboard, and you can place one more fan on the back.

The capacity of radiators is similar. Up to three 360mm or 120mm radiators can be installed at the rear.

The Elite version package includes three 120mm RGB Duo fans and one 120mm Quiet Airflo fan. There are hubs for RGB backlighting and fan speed adjustment. In the case of the Flow variant, there are four 120 mm Quiet Airflow fans.

The top side offers an audio jack, USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 and two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1. Mini-ITX, Micro-ATX and ATX cards can be installed.

The total case size is 495 × 290 × 466 mm and the weight is a considerable 13.1 kg (elite version). The flow is a pound lighter.

Pricing starts at 189.90 euros for the Flow variant. The Elite costs 289.90 euros, in direct conversion around seven thousand crowns. Available in white and black.

NZXT also introduced the new C1200 Gold power supply designed for builds with a new generation of graphics cards. Fully support ATX 3.0 standard.

Also new are the aforementioned Duo RGB fans with double-sided backlighting. They are available in sizes of 120 and 140 mm and in black and white versions. These PWM fans offer 20 individually addressable LEDs. Both versions have a range of 500 to 1,800 revolutions per minute and the price ranges from 33 to 35 euros per piece.
