NZXT Renews H7 and H5 Gaming Cases: Kraken Arrives

NZXT is renewing its offering dedicated to PC gaming with 4 new cases and 3 liquid cooling systems. The new range includes H7, H7 RGB+, H5, and H5 RGB+, along with the Kraken Plus 360 RGB and Kraken Core 360 and 420 coolers. The goal is to offer new solutions for assembling high-end gaming configurations, with particular attention to thermal management and aesthetic customization.

The new cases introduce Vista Mode, a system that uses a curved tempered glass panel, made in a single piece to eliminate corner joints. In the H7, the glass also extends to the top part, while both models support motherboards with rear connectors and large hardware.

The H7 can accommodate graphics cards up to 495 mm long and CPU coolers up to 188 mm tall. The H5, on the other hand, introduces a side air intake dedicated to GPU cooling.

Liquid cooling for gaming PCs

The new Krakens adopt ninth-generation Asetek pumps and copper contact plates. The Kraken Plus 360 RGB integrates a 1.8" 60 Hz display, customizable via NZXT CAM with images, GIFs, and system information. The Kraken Core 360 and 420, on the other hand, focus on a more essential structure, with integrated fans in a single frame to reduce cabling. The range is completed with the F360Q and F420Q fans, the C1200 Platinum ATX 3.1 power supply, and a vertical mounting kit for the graphics card with a PCIe 5.0 riser.

The new products will progressively arrive at authorized retailers in the coming months. The RGB+ versions of the cases include pre-installed fans and controllers, while the standard models are sold without RGB lighting.
