#NZXT #NZXTH5 #intelarc - "You shouldn't buy an NZXT Elite" they said... "They have terrible airflow!" they said... Let's get stuck in with the all new H5 Elite and find out what's new and how it's improved. Read on for my thoughts and feelings.

Following on from my last build in the excellent H5 Flow, I wanted to focus another build on the new H5 series from NZXT, this time with the H5 Elite. Having built in multiple H510 Elites over the last year, it was educating for myself to film this video and see just how much those few upgrades and changes have affected the thermal performance of the chassis.
Ultimately, adding space for a 240mm radiator up on top is a game change for the Elite series. Keeping the front airflow derestricted coupled up with that angled base fan has allowed far more airflow to pass through dropping those crucial GPU temps. What's more, the vent holes on the side of the casing are much bigger than the previous H510, again allowing more air to pass through.
It goes without say that the H5 Flow passes more air throughout the case than the Elite, thus keeping your hardware cooler but using the hardware I chose for this build, I wouldn't complain at all. Would I recommend the Elite for somebody running a hot graphics card such as the 3090 / 4090 with a Ryzen 7000 series? Probably not. You should consider the Flow instead. But for those who are not running extremely hot hardware, the Elite should tick all of the boxes with excellent improvement over the last gen!
It's also still early days testing the Intel ARC A770 and so far I've been blown away by the performance in gaming (relative to the price point) and the thermals have been on par too!
