Is this the pick of the bunch?

NZXT H7 Flow

NZXT'S LATEST H7 line-up of cases consists of three new models, the H7, the H7 Flow, and the H7 Elite. We've already got our hands on the Elite model, which we reviewed in last month's issue. The Elite was an impressive and handsome chassis and, as the most expensive option, we'd naturally assumed that it would be the best performing choice out of the three.

But while the main focus of the Elite model was its good looks, how does its sibling, the Flow, compare? Costing 70 less than the Elite, is ita better option? At this point, it’s worth mentioning that the Flow costs the same as the standard H7 case. Which begs the question, what's the benefit of the standard H7 over the Flow?

Visually, the Flow sits in the middle of the three H7 cases. It’s better looking than the standard case with its flat front panel but not as striking as its more expensive sibling, the Elite. However, looks aren't everything. The front panel on our review sample features a matte white perforated cover that allows an unrestricted flow of air through the case. NZXT has executed this well as it not only looks stylish but also allows light from RGB fans to shine through. The clue may be in the name, but this functionality is the H7 Flow’s main selling point.

Our review sample is the matte black and matte white version, though separate matte black and matte white offerings are also available. We like the design and the colorway works well on a case with such a minimalistic look, while the contrasting colors add more interest.

AMD's turn to drop the ball?

WITH INTEL'S RAPTOR LAKE CPUs falling over, the company firing around 15,000 employees, and cancelling its 2024 innovation event, AMD must have been enjoying the view - until its new Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs rolled out. So, is AMD's CPU a minor stumble or game-changing fumble?

Intel issues fix for Raptor Lake degradation

EARLIER THIS YEAR, I wrote about difficulties I was having with a Core 19-13900K processor (see MPC230 Tech Talk). Little did we realize that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg. While most complaints have involved the unlocked Core i9 Raptor Lake CPUs, it appears the instability problems build up and potentially impact many Raptor Lake-13th and 14th Gen Core CPUs, with Intel identifying 22 different desktop parts.
