NZXT has unveiled a new generation of H5 and H7 PC cases featuring single-piece curved tempered glass, alongside updated Kraken liquid coolers, a 1200W Platinum power supply, new cooling fans and a PCIe 5.0 vertical GPU mounting kit. The expanded hardware lineup was announced on November 10, 2026, with prices starting at $89.99 for the standard H5 case.
The announcement covers the H5, H5 RGB+, H7 and H7 RGB+ chassis, Kraken Plus 360 RGB and Kraken Core liquid coolers, F360Q and F420Q Quiet Airflow fans, C1200 Platinum ATX 3.1 power supply and a new vertical graphics card mounting accessory. NZXT confirmed the specifications, pricing and availability details in its official press release.
The redesigned cases introduce a continuous curved-glass panel extending across the front and left side, eliminating the visible corner seam found on conventional dual-panel designs. Both chassis families also support back-connect ATX motherboards, allowing compatible systems to route power connections behind the motherboard tray.
The larger NZXT H7 measures 551 × 260 × 525 mm and has a 75.2-liter internal volume. It supports ATX, Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards, graphics cards up to 495 mm long with a 30 mm front-right fan installed, CPU air coolers up to 188 mm tall and power supplies up to 200 mm long.
One of the H7’s main additions is Vista Mode, which uses a curved tempered-glass top panel to extend the transparent enclosure across three surfaces. NZXT includes an interchangeable steel mesh top and fan mounting bracket, allowing builders to switch between the glass showcase configuration and a more ventilation-focused layout.
With the mesh panel installed, the H7 accommodates up to 10 fan mounts and radiators up to 420 mm at the top and right side. An adjustable GPU anti-sag bracket is included, while angled bottom fan mounting positions are designed to direct airflow toward the installed hardware.
The standard H7 ships without fans and costs $159.99. The H7 RGB+ costs $259.99 and includes two F420 RGB Reverse single-frame fan assemblies, one F140 RGB fan and a preinstalled Control Hub Lite.
Despite its larger dimensions, the redesigned H7 no longer supports E-ATX motherboards, an important compatibility consideration for builders using oversized boards.
The smaller H5 offers a similar curved-glass design in a 47-liter compact mid-tower measuring 468.5 × 233 × 431.1 mm. It supports ATX, Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards, GPUs up to 420 mm long and CPU coolers up to 172 mm tall.
NZXT has introduced an Airflow Scoop side intake on both H5 models, designed to bring outside air toward the graphics card. The standard H5 uses a steel mesh top panel and supports up to 10 fan mounts, with 360 mm radiator installation available at the top or right side.
The H5 RGB+ instead features a glass top panel for Vista Mode, reducing total fan mounting capacity to seven positions. Its 360 mm radiator support is limited to the right side, with an additional 120 mm radiator position at the rear.
The standard H5 costs $89.99 without included fans. The $134.99 H5 RGB+ adds an F360 RGB Reverse single-frame fan assembly, an F120 RGB rear fan and a Control Hub Lite. Both cases support the optional vertical GPU mounting kit.
NZXT also introduced three new all-in-one liquid cooling configurations: the Kraken Plus 360 RGB, Kraken Core 360 and Kraken Core 420.
The Kraken Plus 360 RGB uses a ninth-generation Asetek pump, a copper cold plate and a 360 mm aluminum radiator. Its pump housing features a customizable 1.8-inch TFT screen with a 360 × 360 resolution and 60 Hz refresh rate.
The cooler includes an F360 RGB single-frame fan assembly and supports Intel LGA 1954, 1851, 1700, 1200 and 115X sockets, alongside AMD AM5 and AM4. Display customization is handled through NZXT CAM software using an internal USB 2.0 connection.
The Kraken Core models use Asetek Gen 9V pumps but omit the integrated display. Instead, they feature a magnetic pump faceplate that can be installed in four orientations.
The Core 360 uses a 394 × 120 × 27 mm radiator, while the Core 420 increases radiator dimensions to 454 × 142 × 30 mm. Both use single-frame static-pressure fan assemblies with one PWM connection and support Intel LGA 1954, 1851 and 1700, as well as AMD AM5 and AM4.
NZXT has priced the Kraken Plus 360 RGB at $149.99, the Kraken Core 360 at $79.99 and the larger Core 420 at $99.99. The Core models are available exclusively in black, while the Kraken Plus is offered in black and white.
For case ventilation, the company announced F360Q and F420Q Quiet Airflow fan assemblies. Each combines three fans into a single frame, reducing the number of individual fan installations and cables required.
The F360Q uses three 120 mm fans with a maximum specified speed of 1,700 RPM, while the F420Q uses three 140 mm fans rated up to 1,500 RPM. Both feature fluid dynamic bearings, a claimed 60,000-hour lifespan and a single four-pin PWM connection.
The F360Q costs $24.99, while the larger F420Q is priced at $29.99.
NZXT’s new C1200 Platinum power supply delivers 1200W and complies with the ATX 3.1 specification. It carries both 80 PLUS Platinum and Cybenetics Platinum efficiency certifications, alongside a Cybenetics A noise rating.
The fully modular PSU includes a 600W-rated 12V-2×6 graphics card power connector, four eight-pin PCIe connectors and a 140 mm fluid dynamic bearing fan with a selectable Zero RPM mode. It measures 150 × 86 × 150 mm and has a suggested price of $199.99.
The higher-capacity unit arrives as PC builders face wider hardware pricing pressures, including reported RTX 50-series graphics card price increases and potential Radeon GPU price rises. Buyers planning a new build will need to account for GPU costs separately from the new NZXT chassis, cooling and power components.
Completing the announcement is a $49.99 PCIe 5.0 vertical GPU mounting kit. It includes a 175 mm PCIe 5.0 x16 riser cable, a steel bracket with integrated anti-sag support and three adjustable mounting positions.
NZXT specifies compatibility with standard seven-slot ATX cases without expansion-slot dividers, provided at least five slots are available for installation. The kit accommodates multi-slot graphics cards, including models thicker than three slots, although individual case clearances still apply.
NZXT says the new products will roll out through authorized retailers worldwide over the coming months, with exact availability varying by region and retailer.
The H5 and H7 cases, Quiet Airflow fans and vertical GPU mounting kit carry two-year warranties. Both Kraken cooler families include six-year warranties, while the C1200 Platinum power supply is covered for 10 years.
All announced products are offered in black and white except the Kraken Core 360 and Core 420, which are available only in black. Pricing listed in US dollars reflects NZXT’s announced Americas prices, with regional pricing and retailer availability varying by market.
