During Computex 2018, NZXT showcased its full array of gaming PC solutions, comprising of its latest casings, power supply units (PSUs), and cooling systems.

Starting off with NZXT's H series chassis lineup, the most notable is the H500i, a compact ATX midtower chassis. Demonstrating the H500i, NZXT equipped it with its very own N7 Z370 motherboard, powered by an Intel Core i7-8700K processor, coupled with G.Skill Trident Z RGB DDR4 memory modules and a Samsung SSD 860 EVO as main storage. The setup consisted of an NZXT E850 PSU, along with NZXT Aer RGB fans in 120mm and 140mm sizes for air cooling.

Speaking of cooling, NZXT brought to the table its Kraken series liquid cooling solutions. The lineup has five models which vary according to the size of liquid cooling unit and fan model, namely the X42 (140mm + Aer P140 PWM Fan), X52 (240mm + Aer P120 PWM Fan), X62 (280mm + Aer PWM Fan), X72 (360mm + Aer P120 PWM Fan), and the M22 (120mm + Aer P120 PWM Fan). All models come with a radiator and a pump as part of the entire system.

In terms of compatibility, the models are designed to go along with processors that are based on Intel's 1151, 1150, 1155, 1156, 1366, 2011, 2011-3, and 2066 sockets, and AMD's AM4, FM2+, FM2, FM1, AM3+, AM3, AM2+, and AM2 sockets. NZXT's Kraken liquid cooling solutions also go along with the RGB/LED trend, supporting different preset modes, namely breathing, fading, marquee, covering marquee, pulse, spectrum wave, alternating, tai chi, water cooler, and loading.

NZXT showed also showed us its upcoming PSU lineup and RGB Lighting Kit, but the full details of these products were still being finalized at the time of writing.
