Preparing Your Workspace

Before starting, power down your PC and unplug all cables. Place your case on a clean, flat surface with good lighting. Remove the side panels to access the interior of the NZXT H9 Flow.

Decide where to install the RGB strips for maximum visual impact. Common locations include along the top, front panel, or inside the case near the GPU and CPU areas.

Reassemble the case panels and plug in your PC. Power on the system and use the NZXT CAM software or your controller to customize the lighting effects. Adjust brightness and colors as desired.

Tips for a Professional Finish
