The only case that goes toe-to-toe with the H7 Flow on our chart is the Hyte Y60, but two of its three included fans are in the basement, and it has a whole lot more glass going on to keep the noise down. Now, this case isn’t quite church mouse-level silent, but for an airflow-focused case, I’m quite impressed. Because of that, I wasn’t expecting a quiet case, but I was wrong– very wrong. The NZXT H7’s design is very skeletal– especially the front panel, which is nearly all perforated. I’m really impressed by the F120Q case fans because even though they’re not 4-pin/PWM, they get the job done well beyond my expectations. The spinners also moved air through the chassis exceptionally well in our testing for stock case fans, which you’ll see in the thermals section. First off, the fans are dead-silent even at the maximum RPM of 1,200. NZXT was generous enough two include two of its F120Q Airflow case fans with the H7 Flow, and while they’re 3-pin, they’re surprisingly excellent. The rear supports either one 120mm or one 140mm fan. The fan support in the front has also been increased from the H710, from two 140 to three 140mm fans (or up to three 120mm). With the H7 Flow, we get a perforated top panel that extends far enough for 3x 120 or 2x 140mm fans, or one 360mm radiator. However, the perforations on the top panel were limited to one 140mm fan. Last year, we took a look at the NZXT H510 Flow, which delivered good thermals. (Image credit: Tom's Hardware) NZXT H7 Flow Cooling
