A large number of air holes are added to the metal panel on the right, mainly for the side fans or radiators. The entire right panel is covered with a dust filter, so there is no need to worry about dust entering. In order to strengthen the stability of the corners of the glass panel, a reinforced metal frame is added instead of opening holes in the glass, so that the point of force is absorbed and pressure-bearing by the metal frame, reducing the risk of cracking the corners, and there is no drilling on the glass side plate for positioning Fixed by means of pins, tool-free assembly and disassembly make it easier for players to assemble.

On the cooling page of the NZXT CAM kit, it provides speed control of 3 different fan channels, providing quietness, high efficiency, fixed and customized according to temperature.Support fan speed customization, users can automatically adjust the fan speed according to the CPU or GPU temperature, for example, I keep the fan speed at 20% at 20-30°C, 20% at 34-50°C, when it exceeds 50°C Automatically increases speed until 65°C Fans come to full speed.
Can support three 360mm radiators
As the flagship model of NZXT chassis, H9 Elite has a very large fan and radiator load capacity, including five positions at the top, bottom, rear, bottom and side. A total of up to 10 12cm fans can be installed. Three 360mm water-cooled radiators allow for multiple ways to play.

The reason for the transparent mounting frame is to reduce the impact on the aesthetics of the top. If the top does not intend to install a fan or water cooling, the transparent mounting frame can be completely removed.
The bottom can support three 12cm fans or two 12cm fans, and the water cooling can support a maximum of 280mm or 360mm cooling radiator. Players should try to use the bottom to introduce cold air to make up for the shortcomings of the front of the Panoramic panoramic design. At the same time, it can bring more graphics card direct cooling.
One F120Q cooling fan is preloaded on the rear side︳can support one 120mm cooling radiator, and three F120RGB Duo cooling fans are preloaded on the side, which can support one 360mm cooling radiator. The NZXT factory preloading is to draw in fresh air Direction, if the user can install the bottom fan, it is recommended to reverse the direction of the F120RGB Duo fan to exhaust, the effect will be more ideal.

Editor’s comment:
NZXT H9 Elite has been well received by foreign players, especially the serious players who like to show off their own machines. If you don’t want to see your own machine from above all day long, you can consider H9 Flow. In fact, the cooling effect is better. It’s a pity. Without the RGB fan and HUB, wow…it’s really hard to choose between Flow and Elite.
