Overview
The NZXT S5 RGB and S5 RGB Deluxe represent a streamlined execution of the panoramic dual-chamber mid-tower chassis, utilizing a sturdy steel skeleton paired with seamless front and side tempered-glass viewing panels. Architecturally, the chassis prioritizes internal visibility and clean component staging, offering broad support for standard ATX, Micro-ATX, and Mini-ITX motherboards. Cable management and visual clutter are markedly reduced through the implementation of a single-frame 360 mm reverse-blade intake fan on the right interior wall, which delivers pre-routed multi-fan illumination and airflow via standard 3-pin 5V addressable RGB headers without proprietary hub lock-in.
Thermal routing leverages positive pressure dynamics across up to ten 120 mm fan locations, drawing intake air through the side and bottom chambers while exhausting naturally through the top and rear. Top radiator compatibility extends to 360 mm liquid cooling setups, while GPU clearance reaches 415 mm and CPU cooler height accommodates up to 162 mm. Air filtration is handled via removable PVC mesh filters at the top and base. In everyday deployment, the chassis facilitates straightforward maintenance via tool-less side panels, though modern structural trade-offs are evident: the motherboard tray lacks reverse-connector cutouts for back-connect motherboards, storage accommodation is restricted to two total drives, and vertical expansion does not accommodate vertical GPU brackets.
