NZXT is refreshing its PC hardware lineup with a new collection of cases, liquid coolers, cooling fans, and power accessories aimed at enthusiasts looking to build cleaner and more distinctive gaming PCs. NZXT’s launch announcement includes redesigned H7 and H5 chassis, several Kraken cooling options, new quiet airflow fans, a high-end Platinum PSU, and a vertical GPU mounting kit.

The redesigned H7 and H5 cases introduce one of the collection’s most noticeable changes: a curved tempered glass panel that wraps around the front and side without the traditional corner pillar. This creates a continuous viewing surface, giving showcase-style builds a more seamless appearance. Selected models also feature NZXT’s new Vista Mode design, which extends the glass aesthetic across the top for an even more open view of the components inside.

The larger H7 offers an additional degree of flexibility through its interchangeable top panel. Builders can choose between a glass panel for aesthetics or a perforated alternative that prioritizes airflow. The H5 and H5 RGB+ bring many of the same design elements into a more compact chassis, with room for graphics cards up to 420mm long and three-fan radiators.

There are some differences between the two H5 configurations. The RGB+ edition comes equipped with an F360 RGB Reverse fan at the bottom, an F120 RGB fan at the rear, and a Control Hub Lite. The standard H5, meanwhile, ships without pre-installed fans.

NZXT is also revisiting its Kraken liquid cooling range with the Kraken Plus 360 RGB and Kraken Core families, both of which now use Asetek pumps. The Kraken Plus features a customizable 1.8-inch display, while the more straightforward Kraken Core drops the screen in favor of a simpler design. NZXT is continuing to reduce cable clutter across its cooling products with single-frame fan assemblies that combine three fans into one unit.

Rounding out the announcement are the F360Q and F420Q Quiet Airflow fans, the C1200 Platinum power supply with ATX 3.1 support, and a PCIe 5.0 vertical GPU mounting kit. The new components are beginning their global retail rollout, with prices starting at $89.99 / €89.90 / £89.99 for the H5 cases, $159.99 / €169.90 / £159.99 for the H7 range, and $79.99 / €79.99 / £79.99 for Kraken coolers.
