NZXT H7 Flow RGB build guide with push pull, fan wiring logic and Kraken Elite cooler
82Hello! This is a setup/build guide for the NZXT H7 Flow RGB where I'm showing you the features and highlights of the case and then how to build it in.
This case comes equipped with four fans as standard, three of which are NZXT F140 Core RGB Fans. Those fans are already connected to a splitter cable for power and another for RGB which is handy. But in this video I'm adding in some more fans and doing a push/pull setup with the NZXT Kraken 280 Elite RGB CPU cooler. I'm going to show you every step of the build process as well as what mistakes to avoid and things to think about during the build process. There's a lot to like about this case, but be sure to checkout the links to the other videos of things included in this build if you need detailed guides on anything (see the specs below).
