Hi!

 

I recently bought the Rosewill Nighthawk Z RGB full tower case for my build and from what I've seen on Newegg, the manual does not show how to set up, or even use the RGB functions on the fans. I have looked all over the internet for reviews for this case (in video form), and none seem to exist. So I decided to look for a Rosewill case forum of some sort, and to my dismay found none. Now I am here, on the LTT forum page, because Linus is who I've gone to for these kind of things, and am asking anyone if they can give an honest review of this case, and also, give me an explanation of how the RGBs on the fans are supposed to function?

 

Thank You.

 

Case:

Rosewill NIGHTHAWK Z-RGB (https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16811147291)

 

Motherboard:

MSI B450 GAMING PRO CARBON AC

Does this case have an integrated fan controller or does it want you to use your mobo?

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

Plug the fan rgb header to the controller. Plug the controller to the motherbaord.

Plug the fans to the controller/ motherboard.

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

If you still need this, your Rosewill fan hub is this:

And the manual for how to use it is here:

This is a decent quality no-frills case. Much larger than I will ever need, but still, that just means the case temperature is very low.
