#NZXT #Noctua #asuspcdiy - You've seen the Blackout NZXT H9 & H7 Flow on my channel, it's time to give the H5 the same treatment! Are you ready for zero RGB and lights out?!
00:00 - Intro
00:50 - Build Hardware Overview
01:32 - B650 Motherboard Assembly
03:56 - NZXT H5 Flow Assembly
08:17 - Airflow Visualization
09:06 - Cinematic & Desk Setup Inspiration
This build feels like it has been a long time coming! Before Christmas I built with this case for the launch of the H5 line but I used the standard Noctua Brown/Beige color pallet which for me personally was a massive winner. However, you just can't beat a solid blackout stealth build and what better way to compliment it with some of the finest cooling components from Noctua!
The NH-D15 Chromax.black is without a doubt one of the best performing air coolers in the industry in terms of raw performance and silence. For this video I really wanted to show you how well it fits inside the H5 Flow whilst keeping the Ryzen 7 7700X at optimum temps.
Temps whilst gaming have been excellent so far:
Ambient room temp - 24c
GPU IDLE - 32c
GPU UNDER LOAD - 68c
CPU IDLE - 45c
CPU UNDER LOAD - 79c
It's still early days and I'm testing more as time progresses. Keep your eyes on my social media stories for updates over the coming days/weeks.
I'd also like to take this moment to say that the original fans which came with the chassis and CPU cooler perform fantastic indeed. I only swapped them for aesthetic purposes and to bring together a complete Noctua cooled H5.

Over the last few months I've managed to successfully run airflow visualizations on a lot of my Gaming PC builds, this particular H5 Flow genuinely blew my mind at just how effective the cooling is. Hopefully the airflow visual really shows this!
Side note, whilst the H5 Flow isn't designed to take a 140mm at the top, I managed to fit this in without a problem utilising two additional mesh top plate holes to screw it down :)
