NZXT H9 Elite (Mid-Tower ATX/Dual-Chamber Wraparound Glass/3x F120 RGB Fans Included/Showcase Flagship) Review
Deciding between the NZXT H9 Flow and H9 Elite comes down to one question: do you want the fans and RGB controller included?
The Elite answers yes on both, it's the same wraparound dual-chamber shell as the Flow but with three RGB fans and NZXT's controller pre-installed instead of a bare mesh front you fill in yourself.
What's Different from H9 Flow
Structurally it's identical to the H9 Flow already in our catalog, same dual-chamber body, same glass panorama, but the front panel swaps mesh for glass and NZXT throws in three F120 RGB Core fans wired to a hub instead of leaving that up to you.
Comparison to Alternatives
Against the Corsair 6500X and Hyte Y70 Touch, the H9 Elite is the more restrained showcase option, wraparound glass without a touchscreen or the extra size, at a lower price than either.
