NZXT has launched its refreshed H5 and H7 cases, along with C1000 and C1200 power supplies, which have received mixed reviews, particularly praising the aesthetic appeal of the curved glass design. The H5 RGB+ is highlighted as an attractive option at £119.90, while the H7 provides versatility with interchangeable top panels, though both models face criticism for their proprietary Control Hub Lite and perceived lack of value. In broader market news, consumers are facing steep prices for memory, exemplified by a Patriot DDR5-6000 32GB kit priced at $695, as demand driven by AI applications impacts DRAM prices. Lastly, the NZXT C1000 Platinum power supply offers high efficiency and features at a competitive price, while other products like the budget-friendly Microsoft Surface Mouse 2 and the Gigabyte UD850GM PG5 V2 power supply also receive positive feedback
Reviews Roundup: NZXT H5 H7 Cases Reviews, Mixed Verdicts, and Sky-High Memory Prices
NZXT's coordinated launch of refreshed H5 and H7 cases plus C1000 and C1200 power supplies drove most of today's roundup, with curved single-piece glass and mesh-or-glass modularity winning praise. The H5 RGB+ earns top marks for looks at £119.90, while the H7 offers interchangeable Vista and Aero tops, though reviewers repeatedly flag the proprietary Control Hub Lite and weak value scores. Beyond NZXT, igor'sLAB's rigorous PCM thermal-pad testing, the budget-friendly Surface Mouse 2's Windows 11 haptics, and the surprisingly quiet Gigabyte PSU round out a day of mixed verdicts. Buyers should brace for grim news on memory, with a Patriot DDR5-6000 32GB kit landing at an eye-watering $695 as AI-driven demand hammers consumer DRAM prices.
