NZXT H6 Flow RGB Mid-Tower Airflow Case with 3 RGB Fans, Panoramic Glass Panels, Cable Management - Black

In the 1980s’/ 90’s, transparent electronic devices started to become available for consumers. As a kid then, I was always in awe of being able to see behind the “scenes” at the electronics being displayed. With the obsolete nature of CD/DVD Rom’s inbound, I guess simpler, more refined cases were inevitable and luckily for me them having transparency was just another bonus!Enter NZXT H6 Flow, the first fish-tank style case I laid my eyes upon and simply had to have. The H6 Flow is smooth, sleek, refined, simple, artistic, roomy, inviting, low profile, pleasant and a pleasure to work with. All removable panels and windows remove smoothly with an audible snap (not scary version) and realign with a reassuring click. The tempered glass is thick and has reinforced corners with a sizeable latch handle, which makes removal and replacement easier and adds more confidence to the user, plus it offers something to grip will holding/ moving the glass and metal panels.The body design is sleek looking and adds to the function. In general, the angled front with the three fans, have been noted to add an increased air flow with meaningful direction and amounts of air being pulled in. In addition, If you’re using this case on your desk, like me, the power button, two usb ports, one usb c port along with a headphone jack are lined up on the bottom front, so very convenient. Also, as long as RGB lighting is enabled on your motherboard, the power button has a led ring that says white while the pc is on and intermittingly flashes when the pc is in sleep /standby mode. Nice and easy way to see if your pc is off at a glance.Another positive design choice includes the space on the bottom between the bottom of the case and the feet. This adds two positives. The intake 140mm fans located on the bottom have ample suck shin space for fresh air and I can slide my hand underneath with ease, which makes under-case cable routing a breeze, they really did almost think of everything.The rear chamber where the power supply is located is very large. It’s so large; I have 2 hdd’s and 4 ssd’s. Now, I’m using unofficial areas that were not really designated as locations for them but it works, they stay tight in place so there’s little movement and I’m just happy there was space to cram them in. Also, with the dual chamber design, there is less of a need to do extreme cable management. It’s lightly done in my H6, which offers just enough space to move around and not show the cables in the front through the grommet case cut outs.The H6 Flow has plenty of ventilation with fine holes on the panels and bigger holes in the rear for exhaust. One thing to note, if you are adding RGB fans, you’ll probably need splitters depending on how many rgb inputs your motherboard has. This only really relates to the case because you can use 8 fans, not including the cpu cooler fans.The only cons I realized are the grommet holes on the case for cable pass thru lack rubber grommets which is an odd design choice for two reasons. First, almost every other case on the market includes them and secondly, this makes rear cable management a slight issue because you can see some of the mess if not properly managed.All in all, I highly recommend this case. The price is fair for what you will receive which increases the value of the Flow.

Beautiful and a joy to build in. Lots of space for your hands and plenty of zip ties and spots to tie up wires. I went with non RBG because I heard it uses proprietary connectors. I don't regret it though because it's still so sleek. I bought 2x 140mm be quiet fans and the airflow is insane. My temps have never been lower.

Summary: H6 is a perfect middle ground case between the historically cramped square cases and the newly emerging massive fish tank cases. Cooling performance is great and the price makes it a perfect balance of aesthetics, awesome performance, and lower price. Build quality is the standard amazing quality expected from NZXT cases.Pros- Super easy to build in! Tons of space for cable routing and management, especially in the back and at the top of the mobo where it’s usually a pain. Plenty of space for extra PSU cable length from cable kits or non-modular PSUs.- All panels pop off and on very easily. Incredibly easy to work with.- Case looks even better in person! The full glass gives a beautiful view of components.- Going from a glass front H510, I thought the full mesh would make my system much louder, but it’s just as quiet. That’s largely dependent on fans and their RPMs, but my same build in this case is quieter, perhaps from the angled fans being pointed away from where I’m sitting.- The recessed fan slots in the bottom of the case both look interesting and also seem to work exceptionally well. I’m seeing 7 degree (C) GPU temp reduction under load compared to my prior H510, but there are also multiple more fan slots on this case. Whether it’s the lower 140 slots or the front, I’m stoked to see that much of a GPU temp reduction given how intense games push GPU these days.- My favorite little detail is a small hook between the back exhaust fan and the top of the case. This allows you to route that cable safely so wire interference is not a concern.- I thought this case was going to be a lot wider of a footprint than it actually is. It is wider than my prior H510 due to the PSU being behind the mobo instead of beneath it, but it’s totally worth the extra space given the cooling performance and it doesn’t feel or look too big like some of the larger fish tanks cases are.Cons- Honestly, I haven’t found a true con yet. Biggest con I can think of is that the included fans come with a pre installed splitter. That splitter is too short to run to a mobo header, but it’s plenty of length if you have a Kraken or other NZXT RGB or Fan controller.
