At the bottom side we see the PSU mount, you simply slide it in there and secure a white mounting plate.

Secure it with screws, and then with four thumb-screws and it is locked and loaded to to go. A very nice way to hide the PSU, bringing more aesthetics to the overall looks and design.

When we look at the top inner side of the chassis then, first off, everything is nicely white inside with black accents. This makes the chassis a great looking build.The NZXT Noctis 450 has wide support liquid cooling radiators, Front 2 x 140 or 3 x 120mm, Top 2 x 140 or 3 x 120mm and Rear 1 x 140/120mm.

Multiple fans have been installed, all lead to a PWM based fan hub that connects to your motherboard. So you can control the fans with the motherboard PWM settings. That HUB is very handy, we'll show it on the next pages. At the front 3 x 120mm FN V2 Fans are included and in the rear a 140mm model of the same range. In our experiences these fans operate mighty quietly with a normal PWM fan profile selected in the BIOS.

Have a peek at the CPU back plate cutout. The space in-between the motherboard tray and backside panel is roughly 2 CM deep, so you have enough space to work with for your cabling behind the motherboard tray. The CPU back plate cutout is there obviously for CPU coolers, if you need to swap one this helps you from having to take the motherboard out of the chassis.
