Sleek design, Great cable management, Easy to build with, PSU cover, Nice LED lights
No support for 5.25″ drives, Motherboard tray can feel a bit flimsy without drive sleds attached, Price
NZXT has done a fine job with the Noctis 450. It is a worthy update to the H440. Having improved on that design by adding extra performance and features and keeping the price close. The Noctis 450 build quality is excellent. I was a bit concerned with al...

NZXT's N450 has a few shortcomings and, sadly, most of them are not new to NZXT's cases. The screws and standoffs have torque issues that make for annoying installation, heat pools toward the bottom of the case around the video card, and although the pai...

The Noctis 450 has a lot to live up to. In some ways I feel a bit sorry for it, almost as if it was the twin brother of a famously high achieving sportsman entering competition himself. All those around him would be commenting that as he has the same ba...

VideoThis has just been a quick article we threw together to hold our video review (we have only had the case 24 hours but you will be getting an indepth written review in the next few days if you are interested in purchasing the N450 when it hits the st...

With the NZXT Noctis 450, there is no denying that we appreciate the exterior design; all of the angles, raised panels, curves and body lines really do this chassis a ton of justice and moves well away from the boxy cases offered. We also appreciated the...

Lack of plastic clips to wear out over time, Excellent cooling, Excellent cable management, Solid feel to the case, Lots of HDD bays, Lots of zip ties, ,
Lack of LED’s inside case. (Benefit if you’re into custom lighting), I'd like to thank NZXT for sending over the very slick Noctis 450 for us to review. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to post them in the forum right here, << Prev
Coming in at an initial MSRP of $139 USD, this case has a lot of competition. In my opinion, with its solidly built frame, sleek exterior, near perfect cable management and adjustable LED lighting, you can't go wrong for the price. This isn't a case that...
Abstract: NZXT’s Noctis 450 is an exciting new chassis and one we’ve all been waiting for since CES 2015. It utilizes the award winning frame found on the H440 but with exterior panel modifications for extra airflow and a unique armoured look. Color variations at l...
Great gaming performance, Fast in applications, Rapid PCI-based SSD, Smart design
Slightly cramped interior, Hotter and louder than rivals
Overclockers Titan Finesse Phoenix – Performance The Phoenix has more power on paper than the near-silent Scan machine and the PC Specialist with its Core i5 chip, so it's no surprise that it was a monster in the benchmarks. Its 3DMark: Fire Strike score...
Motherboardbased fan control extender for up to seven case fans, Switchable lighting controller, Support for two large radiators
Adding a second large radiator requires the removal of all 3.5" drive bays, leaving only two SSD trays
The NZXT Noctis 450 starts out as a quiet case with great features and good cooling, but becomes a heat monster after several hours of testing. It's one of two cases to exhibit this behavior in our lab. The thoughtful smart fan control design should wor...
Has good build quality overall, Very unique design which NZXT are famed for, Great water cooling support, Tons of inclusive case fans; fantastic stuff, Available in red/black and blue/white
The overall design is an acquired taste, To remove the top panel, you have to remove the front one first, eATX or XL-ATX motherboard support would have made this more "desirable"
The NZXT Noctis 450 has been quite a tough one on me personally over the last few weeks, for a number of reasons actually. The general design with the HDD trays, the PSU cover and the lovely illuminated LEDs have really stood out to me as great features...
