NZXT, a maker of PC gaming components and prebuilt systems, launched new generations of two case lines and two liquid coolers.
The cases for PC gaming rigs include the H7 and H5, where the front and left side are a single formed panel of curved tempered glass.
There is no corner seam where two flat sheets meet, so nothing interrupts the view of the build. Holding a formed curve through tempering is a tolerance problem, which is why the corner seam is the usual answer.
On the H7, a larger tempered glass tower cut to the same radius comes fitted as standard. It carries the glass from front to side to top. NZXT calls that Vista Mode.
Both coolers are Cooled by Asetek, on a copper cold plate. The Kraken Plus puts a customizable display on the pump cap; the Kraken Core is the version with nothing to manage.
“The H7, H5 and Kraken are the heart of our lineup, and they’re where most NZXT builds start. This generation refreshes all of them at once: single-piece curved glass across both mid-towers, and an Asetek pump in both new Krakens. We’re also adding new case features builders haven’t seen from us before, like Vista Mode and the Airflow Scoop,” said Johnny Hou, CEO at NZXT, in a statement.
H7 and H7 RGB+
The H7 is the larger of the two mid-towers.
● Vista Mode fitted as standard, on both models: The tempered glass top is cut to the same radius as the front-to-side curve. The glass runs unbroken across three faces, and the build reads as one piece from above.
● A swappable top, with both panels in the box: A steel mesh top panel and its own fan bracket ship alongside the glass. The same chassis converts between a glass showcase and an airflow build without buying a part.
● Made to show off: An angled bracket turns the bottom fans out toward the glass, and vertical GPU mounting, with the kit sold separately, turns the graphics card the same way. A lit NZXT logo (white LED) sits on the side panel.
● A cleaner build from the start: Back-connect motherboard support puts every power connector behind the tray, and a dedicated channel routes AIO tubing out of the sightline.
● Room for the biggest hardware: A graphics card up to 495 mm (with a 30 mm front-right fan) sits on an integrated adjustable anti-sag bracket, beside a CPU cooler up to 188 mm. Up to 10 fan mounts with the mesh top. E-ATX is no longer supported.
● H7 RGB+ ships with its lighting installed: Two F420 RGB Reverse single-frame fans, one F140 RGB fan and a Control Hub Lite arrive installed and wired, ready to tune in NZXT CAM. The H7 ships without fans.
H5 and H5 RGB+
The H5 brings the same curved glass to a compact mid-tower.
● One formed panel, front to side: The front and left side are one piece of glass. The H5 vents through a steel mesh top that keeps every top mount; the H5 RGB+ closes it in Vista Mode glass for a view straight down into the build.
● The Airflow Scoop side intake: The side intake is shaped into the panel. It reads as a line in the form of the case and draws air in across the graphics card. Identical on both models.
● H5 RGB+ ships factory-wired: An F360 RGB Reverse single-frame fan in the bottom, an F120 RGB fan at the rear, and a Control Hub Lite arrive installed and wired. The H5 ships without fans. Both models support vertical GPU mounting, with the kit sold separately.
● Built clean, inside and out: Back-connect motherboard support hides the power connectors behind the tray, and the curved glass, right side and top panels come off by hand. The front I/O carries USB-C, two USB-A ports and a headset jack.
● Room for the build you want: A graphics card up to 420 mm on an adjustable anti-sag bracket and a triple-fan radiator on either model. The H5 RGB+ takes its radiator on the right side with no top mount.
Kraken Plus 360 RGB
The Kraken Plus 360 RGB comes in Black or White.
● Cooled by Asetek: Asetek’s new Gen 9 pump works against a copper cold plate, with a suspended impeller that keeps vibration from reaching the case.
● A display that is the pump cap: The 1.8-inch screen fills the cap edge to edge and shows images, GIFs or live system data, set in NZXT CAM. Its orientation is adjustable in software, so it stays upright however the block is mounted.
● Three fans, one frame: The included F360 RGB single-frame fan is one unit — two cables to route rather than three fans to mount, with lighting across the whole frame.
● An aluminum radiator on braided tubing: A 360 mm aluminum radiator on EPDM tubing in a nylon braided sleeve that keeps the lines tidy and bends to a tight route.
● Ready in minutes: Thermal paste is pre-applied to the cold plate, and universal mounting covers current Intel and AMD sockets.
Kraken Core 360 and Kraken Core 420
The Kraken Core comes in 360 mm and 420 mm, in Black, with the same cap, pump and cold plate on both.
● Cooled by Asetek: Asetek’s new Gen 9V pump is built to run quiet, with a pump design that keeps vibration from reaching the case.
● Concentric rings under a semi-transparent cap: The cap reveals rings layered inside rather than printing a pattern on the outside, and the magnetic NZXT logo face piece offers 4-way orientation, sitting upright in any mount.
● One fan, one cable: A single-frame static pressure fan tuned for dense radiator fins — three 120 mm fans on the 360, three 140 mm on the 420, on one cable. No hubs and no controllers.
● An aluminum radiator on braided tubing: The nylon sleeve keeps the lines tidy and the tubing bends to a tight route, all in black.
● Straight into any build: Pre-applied thermal paste, a direct connection to the motherboard and broad Intel and AMD socket support.
