NZXT H440 Full Watercooled

After spending a week or so with this awesome case I think I have decide it is one of my favourite cases, there is not a lot I would want or need to change about it. I did have some troubles with the motherboard which I had in the build as it had to be RMA'd which was a bit disappointing as it went with the colour theme of the build. Luckily I had a ASUS Maximus VI Gene to go inside of this awesome case.

There is two Samsung EVO 250GB SSD's in RAID 0 (Windows), another two Samsung EVO 250GB SSD's RAID 0 (Storage) and finally a Samsung 840 PRO 128GB SSD (OS X Mavericks). The storage drives work with both windows and os x which makes work a breeze.

I also have had issues with getting my waterblock's from both Frozen CPU and PC Case Gear, which has really put me behind with this build. I have removed the 360 Rad from the top of the case and replaced it with a Coolgate 240 rad, this seems to do the job just as well as my 360 rad.

I did manage to light this little beauty up with a LED strip and a nice little remote that allows me to change the colours and lighting effects.

The NZXT H440 is Beautiful


Yesterday I picked up the amazing case by NZXT the H440. This is a premium quality case and has an sleek, elegant feel to it. I was unable to get my hands on the white edition of this case, which didn't bother me too much. As when I opened the box the black finish was done so well and really complemented the case.

 For this build I installed a Gigabyte Z87X-UD5 TH motherboard as it goes hand in hand with the colour theme. To show how much room you can have in this case I also installed two 360mm Radiators, One at the front and one at the back. As you can see the PSU is hidden under the NZXT logo which illuminates, glowing through the window panel.

Cable Management was way to easy in this case. You are able to have an incredibly clean build with minimal hassle.


 I went ahead and installed a basic water cooling loop for the CPU using the XSPC Photon 170 Pump/Res combo which is mounted behind the HDD stack. At the moment I am waiting on white tubing and a GPU waterblock to arrive so that I can do a full custom water cooled loop in this case.

All in all this case is going to take over from my full tower NZXT Phantom 820 as my daily driver. The simplicity and layout of this case makes it the best choice for anyone, it comes in white/black and red/black. I will be purchasing the white edition of this case as well.
