NZXT H5 white in a completed build behind the single formed panel of curved glass. Components other than the case are sold separately.

The uninterrupted view.

One formed panel, front into side.

The front and left side are one formed panel of curved tempered glass, a single curve from the front into the side, so the view carries straight through.

Close-up of the airflow scoop shaped into the NZXT H5 lower front panel

Shaped into the panel.

The side intake is shaped into a scoop, so the opening is formed into the side panel rather than punched through it. The scoop draws air in across the graphics card. The scoop is identical on both models. Its contoured surface catches the light, so the bottom fans, pre-installed on H5 RGB+, send their glow across the scoop itself.

NZXT H5 RGB+ white with the pre-installed RGB fans lit along the bottom

Wired before you start.

On H5 RGB+ the lighting is done before it ships: an F360 RGB Reverse single-frame fan in the bottom and an F120 RGB fan at the rear arrive installed and wired to Control Hub Lite, ready to tune in NZXT CAM. The F360’s reversed blades face up into the build, feeding air up over the graphics card, and vertical GPU mounting is supported (mounting kit sold separately), turning the card to face the glass. H5 comes ready for the fans of your choice.

NZXT H5 white, left side view of a completed build with cables routed out of sight. Components other than the case are sold separately.

Cables, behind the tray.

The glass side stays clear.

Back-connect ATX motherboard support puts every power connector behind the motherboard tray, so the side you look through stays clear of cables. Through all that glass you see the build, not the wiring.

Tool-less panels.

Front-side, right side and top, off by hand.

The front-side, right side and top panels come off by hand. The front I/O carries USB-C alongside two USB-A ports and a headset jack. Steel and tempered glass construction, backed by a 2-year warranty.

High-airflow mesh top.

Every top mount, kept open.

A steel mesh top keeps every top mount, so all 10 fan positions case-wide and a 360 mm top radiator stay available. Ready for the fans of your choice.

NZXT H5 black in a completed build, with room to spare around the components. Components other than the case are sold separately.

Room for the build you want.

Compact mid-tower. Full-size hardware.

The compact mid-tower takes a 420 mm graphics card, held straight by an integrated adjustable anti-sag bracket, and a tall CPU air cooler. H5 mounts a 360 mm radiator on the right side or the top; H5 RGB+ takes the same radiator on the right side only, trading top cooling for Vista Mode. Both take a rear radiator.

Two NZXT H5 white cases side by side, one built and one empty. Components other than the case are sold separately.

Two ways to build.

Mesh top or Vista Mode glass.

H5 is the performance build: a steel mesh top that keeps every top mount, ready for the fans you choose. H5 RGB+ is the showcase build: a Vista Mode glass top, with RGB fans and Control Hub Lite wired and ready to tune in NZXT CAM.

NZXT H5 RGB+ in white and black, lit, side by side. Components other than the case are sold separately.

Start here.

Black or White. Mesh or glass.

Pick all-black or all-white, then the top: steel mesh on H5, Vista Mode glass on H5 RGB+. Find yours at a retailer near you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What fans are included?

The H5 ships without fans, so you pick your own cooling. H5 RGB+ includes an F360 RGB Reverse single-frame fan, an F120 RGB fan, and Control Hub Lite, all installed and wired.

Do they support back-connect motherboards?

Yes — both the H5 and H5 RGB+ support back-connect ATX motherboards, so every power connector routes behind the tray.

What radiators fit?

H5 takes up to a 360 mm radiator on the right side or the top, plus a 120 mm rear. H5 RGB+ takes up to a 360 mm right-side radiator plus a 120 mm rear — its top is the Vista Mode glass panel.

Do they support vertical GPU mounting?

Yes — both models have seven expansion slots with Vertical GPU Mount support and no slot dividers, so the graphics card turns to face the glass. The mounting kit is sold separately.
