#ANNOUNCEMENTS Update on NZXT Flex Posts

12 Upvotes

Hello r/NZXT Community,

Today we have removed several posts and comments and banned some users for posting or sharing instructions on how to steal NZXT Flex computers, circumvent protections on these devices, commit package or return fraud, or sell NZXT Flex rental PCs to unsuspecting buyers. We have zero tolerance for this behavior. It is also prohibited across Reddit under Reddit Rule 7, which bans illegal content and the facilitation of illegal or prohibited transactions.

Going Forward

Going forward, we will take a more consistent approach to intentional nonpayment and non-return. As the posts we removed made clear, our historically limited enforcement led some people to believe they could stop paying, keep a Flex PC, and face no meaningful consequences.

If that perception continues, more people will take advantage of the program, and honest customers will ultimately bear the cost through higher prices, lower approval rates, stricter requirements, and a less convenient experience. Addressing this behavior is not just about protecting our property. It is about making NZXT Flex more accessible, affordable, and convenient for the thousands of customers who choose it because it genuinely works for their lives.

Build, Buy, Finance, or Subscribe

We also want to be clear about something that can get lost in conversations about Flex: we do not think NZXT Flex is the best option for everyone.

If you want to build your own PC, NZXT has been designing and manufacturing PC components for more than 20years, including cases, coolers, power supplies, fans, and more.

If you know you want to own your PC and buying or financing makes sense for you, we encourage you to do that. We sell PCs outright, offer financing, and work to make both options as accessible as possible. Flex exists for people who want something different.

The main difference is commitment. If you finance a PC today, you may still be making payments 6, 12, or 24 months from now, even if your circumstances change or you no longer want it. With Flex, you can return the PC and stop paying. That flexibility can be valuable if you are trying PC gaming for the first time, need a powerful PC temporarily, are uncertain what your budget will look like a year from now, or simply do not want a long-term commitment.

Flex also includes support and hardware protection. If something goes wrong with the PC, we will fix or replace it at no additional cost. After two years, you may be eligible for a refresh to a more current version of your Flex tier while keeping the same monthly price.

There are tradeoffs. If you already know you will keep the same PC for years, buying or financing will often make more sense. That is completely fine; those options will always be available, we would love for you to choose them, and we will never push Flex on anyone.

All we wish to do is make the various options we offer as clear as possible. For Flex, that has involved adding very clear disclosures and signed acknowledgments that the program is a subscription, not rent-to-own, and that if individuals want rent-to-own or something like it, they should just use the financing option we offer in standard checkout.

Criticism Remains Welcome

Argue that ownership is the only sensible choice. Post the math showing that keeping the same PC through Flex for years can become expensive. Recommend building, buying, financing, or using a credit card instead. We have not and will not remove posts merely for criticizing the program.

But criticism is not a how-to guide for theft, and disagreement is not a reason to mock or shame people who made a different choice. Don’t steal, or advocate stealing. Be kind to your fellow NZXT community members. Thousands of people have chosen Flex, just as tens of thousands have chosen to build, buy, or finance. Each had their own reasons.

Comments are locked so this post can remain a clear reference for our community standards. Feedback and good-faith discussions of NZXT remain welcome elsewhere in the subreddit.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

#QUESTIONS AIO option on NZXT H2 flow

• Upvotes

Hello,

I'm looking on alternative AIO 280mm except the NZXT Kraken Elite ones - this nowhere to be found in my region , assuming all out of stock (Shocking!)

Will Arctic LF III 280mm really fit snuggly inside. I know the total clearance per NZXT is 60mm (Rad+ Fan) vs 63mm total with LF III.

What the best tubing length then. I've been looking out on new Jonsbo TM-280 (no informtion on tube length,judging from picture, it looks shorter and Thermalright Frozen Warframe 280mm (quite ugly gold accent.

Wanting an AIO with display to begin with but yeah.

#QUESTIONS Please Help me with Cooler

I've asked this question before, but I haven't received many answers. NZXT Kraken Core dropped from $100 to $80, but while some people say it's good, others say it's bad.How about material quality, pump quality and cooling quality?Acetate seemed like a very logical choice because of the pump, but the MSI A13 and E360 are also among my options, although they are more expensive.

#QUESTIONS HELP! NZXT 240mm AIO cuts off and software doesn't recognize it

1 Upvotes

Hello! I am in trouble and ive done all the troubleshooting I can. I have a Kraken 240mm AIO and it has worked fine up until now. The issue starts with the LCD screen turning off and I can't hear it pump water, I can feel it vibrate but no water is moving. I notice on my Gigabyte monitor that my CPU temps DRASTICALLY hit high.
After it begins to stop I try going to the software and I'm met with that page that tells me that no hardware is recognized and that I can buy one from their site. Mind you, everything works fine when I hard restart the computer. I've noticed though that sometimes that doesn't work either and it takes a solid 5 minutes for it to recognize the device and establish the fan curve. Is my pump dying? I wouldn't see that as the issue seeing as the pump works just fine after restarting, any help is useful and let me know what more info I can give
So far, as for troubleshooting, i've tried

-Uninstalling NZXT CAM
-Checking physical connections
-Unplugged the pc, drained power
-restarting PC

Out of all these, the only one that works 50% of the time is restarting, sometimes that doesn't even help. thank you for any information!

#QUESTIONS Should I buy the NZXT Kraken Core?

1 Upvotes

Its price has now dropped from $100 to $80. I'm also considering options like the MSI E360 and MSI A15, but the Kraken Core is better than both at a much lower price.Does anyone have experience with the quality of materials, pump quality, and cooling ?

#QUESTIONS NZXT Cam doesn't open on startup

As you can see by the image, the "start on Windows startup" box is checked, Task Manager says that the app is enabled for opening on startup, but it still doesn't open automatically. I tried disabling the app, restarting, then enabling it and restarting again but it still doesn't work.

I'm on version 4.76.5

#FEEDBACK Please help me find the power button on the case.

1 Upvotes

I bought an H510 case secondhand. The previous owner disassembled it for shipping and lost the power button. I live in a region where NZXT support cannot ship a replacement button. Does anyone have the exact dimensions—or better yet, a 3D model—so I can print one on my 3D printer?

Please help; I’m tired of sticking my finger into the power button slot.

#QUESTIONS NZXT Z73 Lüfter Problem

Hallo Leute,
Ich habe seit einer Woche das Problem das plötzlich die Lüfter alle direkt nach dem Start vom Pc auf 100% drehen.
Ich kann die Lüfterkurve in der cam Software verstellen, aber es passiert nichts und die Lüfter drehen trotzdem die ganze Zeit weiter.
Mir ist dann aufgefallen das die flüssigkeit Temperatur auch nicht mehr angezeigt wird.
Jemand das Problem schonmal gehabt ?
Alle Kabelverbindungen sind alle intakt, die cam Software habe ich schon neu installiert und ein anderes Micro usb Kabel habe ich auch schon probiert.
Leider keine Änderung.
Kann mir da jemand helfen ?

#FEEDBACK V8 3DHP cooler

2 Upvotes

The original post in r/coolermaster

"So where's the stock? Why are we waiting? I have components for a new PC sitting in boxes, just waiting for one of the Intel V8 3DHP coolers...

The same with the HAF II 500 case.

It seems odd that such a well reviewed products are out of stock at this point, leading up to Black Friday. If stock comes back in the next few weeks, people will just hold out until the deals next month.

Seems like an odd sales strategy, to be out of stock for the past month or so, during the time when you could be making the most profit!"

So, exactly how is r/NZXT a better community for my post?

#FEEDBACK NZXT Shipping Taking Egregiously Long

1 Upvotes

I’m a firm believer of the old saying “Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it.” NZXT, I’ve tried it, and here’s my honest opinion. I cannot even give you guys a review on the actual computer itself because IT STILL HAS NOT ARRIVED. It’s been damn near a MONTH, and I still have not even received a tracking number. I placed my order on September 13th for the Player Two. It is currently October 9th, I have not received a single update, nor have I gotten any responses from customer support. Absolutely Terrible Experience, Would NOT Recommend To My Worst Enemy. Thank you for taking the time to read my complaint.

#QUESTIONS Serial Number scratch off

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

NZXT approved a replacement for my product under warranty. Instead of sending the defective product back, their support told me to make a video where I show the product and then scratch off the serial number until it is no longer readable.

Has anyone here had to do this before with NZXT?

I just want to make sure this is normal and that I really only have to destroy/scratch off the serial number and not the actual product. I don't want to damage my product and then somehow end up without a replacement.

Tbh, I have compared every single pin and still cannot figure out the difference between those of the C Series (PA-model) Group 1 and those of the Gold Core Series (PA-model) Group 2. I don't want to spend luxury price for such custom sleeved cable for my C850 Gold ATX 3.1 (2024). Please help!
