Compact ATX Mid-Tower PC Gaming Case - Front I/O USB Type-C
NZXT H510 – Compact ATX Mid-Tower PC Gaming Case – Front I/O USB Type-C Port looks great and is housing all my components within the system case…adequate room to connect Power Supply Unit (PSU), install Cables — Data & power and access the Mother Board…the glass side to case is brillia
Great size, lots of space, good airflow
Nothing to complain about, there is plenty of space and airflow so the temperatures always stay well controlled with minimal fan noise. There are lots of sections to extend peripherals and the nice transparent cover shows of the RGB components inside nicely. The Type C ports are also a great benefit.

A great case for an upgrade or new build
Overall a great PC case that has an easy to remove front fan panel so that adding/removing fans to the front of the case is simple.
Great Case
Simply put, this case is fantastic. I have zero complaints. It’s big enough to comfortably house my 360mm radiator (top mounted) and the cable management allows for a very tidy build. Overall this is the best value mid-tower on the market in my humble opinion.
I really love this Case.
In my 25 years building computers this is one of the nicest looking case I have worked with. I love the front fan removable panel which makes installing fans so easy.
It is really hard pushed to find something I am not happy with, they only thing I would change is the fans it comes with.
For the price you can’t beat i
It looks great, was super easy to use and it’s as cheap as chips, you can’t go wrong!
Really Impressed
The PCie riser is only gen 3, that’s not great.
It has been updated since the recall due to the faults on the pcb (as identified by Gamers Nexus).
So, no fires are likely to happen, that’s a plus!
The overall design very impressive. There are some very interesting features, not mention the fold out rad.
The cooling appears to very well thought out.
It has a fairbit of weight and a lovely little modular power supply with 2x sata and 2x pcie 8pin.
To keep it short, this thing is perfect for a small computer with a low power GPU.
Great towe
My son bought this for his first gaming pc he built by himself this holds everything he needs to put in it well thank you
Pleasure to Build i
An excellent case. They’ve thought of the PC builder and the PC user. Simple, sturdy and considered. If its still going for 50 quid then get it. No brainer. Easy to configure your own look, good cable management and a whole load of extra screws for storage and other hardware. This lot are pros at making PC cases.

Pretty Good
So far Im impressed for the price point and you get everything with it to mount your motherboard etc and sata cables. Cant really comment on performance or reliability yet since Im still getting parts for my build but everything fitting nicely so far and looks alot more expensive than it is. I got the H510i as I wanted rgb lighting. Only thing I would change is the ports on the top, Would prefer if they were moved to a more convenient place but knew this upon buying and bought anyway. Not too much of a bother. Will try and update review once I have it up and running.

The NZXT Mini-ITX is my Favourite
I bought an Amazon Warehouse return of this case. It arrived in its original, if battered, shipping box complete with all accessories.
There were traces of previous use but very minimal – a bit of dust and a few fingerprints. Given concerns these days I gave it the once over with Isoprop cleaner and it looks like new. No scratches.
The case is well-made and thoughtfully designed. Cables have spaces and channels ready for them. The two fans seem good quality but I haven’t used them, fitting Noctuas instead. Care is needed when removing the glass panel as the clips are tight.
Any cons? Well the two back-panel slot covers were held in place by plain old screws, not the proper thumbscrews that NZXT supply. That is about it though.
All in all very pleased with this small NZXT.

Amazing
his case looks and feels great. glass panel looks awesome with all the parts and RGB inside
Really nice case it looks great and was really nice to build in it has great cable management and loads of storage spaces for hdd’s/ssd’s it also came with 2 preinstalled 140mm fans they are 3 pin fans so it means you can controll your fan speed in the bios it also has good temperatures i have seen a few coments saying the airflow was bad which i disagree with althought the airflow is limited its not terrible at idle my gpu is around 33c which is pretty good i was concerned at first but after using my pc it was ok so overall its a great looking case and great to build in the only thing i have to say is while installing the motherboard into the case i noticed the top right screw to hold in the motherboard would not go in i was using the correct screw so i took the board back out and it turns out the motherboard stand off screw was installed crooked from the factory but it was easy to fix i just took it out with the supllied screw driver adapter reinstalled it and i was able to screw down the motherboard with no issues at all although it was an annoying issue it was easily fixed and was not a big issue so i highly recommend this case
Very clean and clear case
A case of minimalism. Just like you put a white square box on the table. Good case for architects.
Great case to build in looks great and no temperature issues

Great case
Great case! Not sure if this is my fault, but the top fan recently started making rattling noises at full speed. (But it’s not a biggie, as you can cap it in the NZXT software)
Brilliant itx case.easy to build o
Love this case, fans are okay but replace them with better, cable managing system in case makes it east to make a neat build
Great looking PC case
This case is very slick looking case. I am very satisfied with the quality but might be a bit expensive compared to other cases I think.
Great Case for Looks and Cable Manageme
One of the easiest Cases I’ve worked on and look fantastic into the bargai
Great all round case for the price.
Love this case’s aesthetic – a lot may see it as basic or common, but I love the simplicity of the design, it was very easy to cable manage in; I have seen a number of complaints regarding airflow, but I personally do not come across temp issues on a Ryzen 7 3700x with a stock cooler, and an RX5700XT (2 fans.) Easy to clean when it comes to it, but dust build up doesn’t really become serious for a decent length of time.

It’s a really nice case
It’s a really nice case, no scratches, great cable management areas, usb type c on the case.
The screws a extremely over tightened and I need to use an electric screw driver to loosen.
With that I would recommend this case.
Nice case, quiet fans, but limited ventilatio
CPU runs at 50C on load (NZXT Kraken X53).
GPU (RTX2070) runs at between 70 and 80C on load.
RGB controller is via software, which is very good.
Limited ventilation.
Is a black box, but looks modern.
Best case ever for cable management & future proof.
One of the best cases I have every built inside of.
Cable management is next level and you can hide everything inside the power supply shroud.
2x LED strips that come with the case are a massive bonus and give you that little light inside the case without overpowering you.
I managed to fit the Kraken x73 360mm Radiator without an issue and it was so easy to move it around, It fits in the front & top of the case.
Huge GPU clearance for every future upgrade possible.
2 SSD’s clip into the rear of the case and you can fit 2 more on the PSU shroud, Enough space for 2 or 3 HDD also and plenty of space and a huge amount of clearance underneath the shroud itself.
This case has so much potential and future building capability.
10/10

Nice case!
This case was, in my eyes, a successful purchase. Looks sleek, minimalistic, I am sure it will look better still with RGB and other effects. My one problem is the lack of airflow and even with most fan slots filled I will have to go for a 240mm water cooled system. Good job NZXT, but keep your eye on practicality!
Really good quality
I like everything but the “grommet ” to put the cables through I had trouble plugging the 2; pin in but not that major , after that no problems at all ( I know I don’t have the front audio plugged in )
Excelle
Item was as described by the seller, well packed and delivered on time schedule. I will definitely recommend this product and the seller. Thanks to the Amazon team. You make everything from online shopping to delivery to your customers. Keep up the good attitude. Thanks one and all.
GREAT CASE FOR THE PRICE
Its been few months since I bought this case and I can’t complain about it!
The metal quality is very well made, once you open the box and take the case out you will notice the quality of it.
I use a R7 2700x with a NZXT Kraken x63 and a RTX 2060. The case is not overheating and it has a good ventilation.
I highly recommend the case for anyone who wants to do an upgrade.
Beautiful
Really is a “sexy” case
All around amazing lots of storage options only thing is I couldn’t get the radiation to fit pipes down.
You know the rest this case is just nice as it’s not too big or small.
It comes with a light strip preinstalled and 2 fans which are cool the software is easy to use as well
Good, Sturdy and modernistic looks and easy to build in.
Let me get this straight, i brought this case back in December 23rd, so i had this case for almost a year WITHOUT A GPU for about 4 months and only just had my GPU finally for about 3 months, Temperature wise in this case, its alright, there are better cases with airflow but this one has enough even with that front side slot on the Side panel, no GPU overheating crashing over 80 90 gaming for me, GPU only reaches about 65 to 75 for hours on end which is normal for GPU temperature wise, although when it gets into the summer, it can rise temperatures in the GPU for me about 1 to 2c on average, other than that its alright enough, havent ran into any Hot Box issues with this case as people say, im guessing Airflow wise its a 50/50 for certain people, another thing to look out is that this case is mostly built on Negative pressure, with the stock case fans pulling air out as exhaust, leaving the GPU to mostly get its air from the back opening, which will cause it to build up dust from any small tight opening in the case, from the side panel openings to the bottom of the case, it can also depend how dusty your room can be as one of the pictures shows the ammount of fine dust my fan has pulled onto the exhaust vent in 3 MONTHS of use without a GPU, so dust wise youll be cleaning this case out alot more than others with a possitive air pressure.
Building in this case is the most easiest thing ive ever worked with, as the standoffs are pre screwed in(im guessing with more cases these days) and theres a standoff thats replaced as a rod to help you guide the motherboard into place which can be very usefull for first time builders or just overall use, the cable management bracket is pretty good and stylish also to hide the cables behind the side panel itself, you could either run your 24 Pin infront of the cable bracket or behind to your liking, theres also guidelanes for the cables inorder to make it much more simpler to cable manage in this case.
so overall for 70 this case is pretty good, with its build quality and being easy to build in the case and enough airflow that my GPU doesnt crash or melt, id say this case can be recommended.

Best Case I have had
As stated in the headline, this is by far the best case I have ever had. It is very smart and looks sexy, there is plenty of room for wiring and hiding wires is a dream with this case. It is very easy to clean with just a cloth over the filters, no dust gets into the case with keeps that sexy new look. The side panel is glass and comes off using two connected screws also easy to keep clean, better than your usual cheap plastic on the less costly cases. There is a few things that I should mention, there is no front intake as you can probably tell from the pictures. I don’t believe this is a issue what’s so ever though as I have had no problem with over-heating at all and I do play “Demanding” games. Another one is again, as you can probably tell from the pictures there is no Mountable Disk Drive Panel, I personally do not use them enough for this to concern me though. If you really need to use a Disk Drive you can connect one externally for a quick install of drivers or something. In my opinion it looks better without a Disk Drive anyway. And that’s it- Amazing case and well worth it’s price tag, sexy simple and smart.

A great pc case
This pc case had it all. It has the LEDs inside. A vertical gpu mount. Great cable management routes and even some out of the way HDD and SSD mounting so the pc will look amazing through the glass on the side with everything hidden out the way. I highly recommend
Amazing
I love this case it looks awesome. air flow is not perfect and i wish there was room for a 360mm cooler but for a mid-sised tower its amazing build quality and like i said it looks fantastic.
Good for the price
Easy removal of the panels
Good amount of USB ports on front of case
My experience with the H710I
To start of with the delivery, i had to give a code to the delivery driver which adds onto security which was impressive. When I opened my package the case was very well protected inbetween 2 Styrofoam cages. There is no scratches or any signs of damage over the case i checked every small detail. Now onto installing hardware.
Easy to remove side panels easy to install motherboard and gpu. Power supply and cooler. I use the kraken x73 360mm for this. This case comes with pre-installed led stripes around the sides of the case. Cable management was easily 10/10. Around the back of the case there are little ports where you can feed wires through and make it so your system is looking neat and tidy. They also come with straps around the back so you can tie cables together to avoid any loose wiring. To sum this up. This case was pretty easy to build with super easy to cable manage and I would recommend to other pc builders.

hi
There is a lot of empty space inside the case that could make the case smaller.
A great case except for the lack of front vent.
The facility to mount a 120mm water cooling radiator and fans limited to the front of the case only, followed by the fact that the front panel is solid with only a narrow vent on the right cover for air intake. A slightly higher case would have facilitated top mounting of the radiator and fans. Would not have been my first choice and due to the side intake I have deducted one star. Other than that the case is a nice design and the addition of the USBC on the top is a definite plus.

Bad quality screws!
i ordered this case and was overall happy with it. however majority of these screws are very fragile and weak and they can easily become sleep (smoothed out) other than the screws the case is great even though two of the screws on the motherboard are now messed up
Ok
A bit disappointed in the quality of the product. Upgraded from a metallic gear (phanteks) case. It’s ok you get what you pay fo
Really clean and compact.
The case itself has an overall really well build quality (besides one or two flaws) and the design is very sleek.
There is endless amount of cable management areas located inside of the back panel as well as numerous crevasses that allow you to hide the power supply cables (GPU, MOTHERBOARD CABLES ETC) and the side glass panel has one of the best designs in terms of how it is operational. The case also comes with a 2 fans included (top and rear).
I would warn that I have installed an ATX MSI TOMAHWAK MAX motherboard and I have to say the movement area for ATX boards is very limiting with not a lot of room and at times you may feel the need to remove the pre installed fans to mount the board however, it is not too bad and depends on the individual building it. But I believe it would be more efficient and appear much nicer with an mATX board.
My only issue is that the screws used for the panels are really annoying at times it feels like your just spinning the screw without it going in but will eventually do so.

Clean and minimalistic
A great case for anyone who wants a clean looking case without having to pay a lot for it.
The case comes with many cutouts for cable and hooks for management making it easier to keep cables tidy with some cable ties. It has dust filters to keep the case clean which can be easily taken off and put back for easy cleaning.
I cannot get the hard drive cage to unscrew to get it out and unfortunately that is the only way to screw in the hard drive fully.
Nzxt have provided me with excellent customer service as I needed help with the front panel connector.
Good but not the bes
I get good thermals with a pretty hot system and it looks nice and sleek but the bottom front filter has broke and I am currently getting a replacement filter sent from NZXT
Such a nice case!
Such an amazing case! It looks so clean and the cable management is so nice with the space at the back and gaps to put cables through! As well as the two built in fans and space for the power supply!
Great case, air flow questionable
Great case looks great easy to build in airflow could be an issue with the small intake at the front but ive had no problems with temperatures using my 240mm rad. Could be an issue only using air cooling howeve
Pc comes from Spain so it takes a few days
It came before it said it would its a very nice looking pc case isn’t damaged on the outside haven’t checked the inside because I don’t have all parts but it seems to be fine great case would recommend does take a week or so because it does come from Spai
Best mid-range case out there
Looks great with the glass panel and the build quality and finish is good. Easy to assemble a PC inside as well with great cable routing and plenty space to hide cables/etc below to keep things looking neat.
NOT brilliant but good enough
As far as the build goes some design aspects were too fiddly and some poorly designed so what ever build vision you have in your head be prepared to adapt improvise and overcome other than that I like this case, over all external finish looks good though the cable managment bar becomes a pain in the A Hole when using cable mods. for those asking No it didn’t come with a vertical mount riser cable or a vertical mount bracket so if you’re going for that look expect a little flex from your display card. ( don’t cheap out on your riser extension I brought one from Thermaltake 30 quid, some cost a lot more but there’s no need)
the air flow on this case isn’t great ( and the whole PC industry knows this) despite NZXT brute forcing it with 3 front fans so I carried out a little mod, I have a top mounted 240mm rad leaving a space near the front so I mounted a fan in that space blowing inwards now giving me 4 intake fans, that and some tweaking the fan speeds with the CAM software to give a better positive case pressure now have decent airflow and decent all-round temps, also used some of the foam packaging to separate the inlet from the exhaust flow from the AIO rad. after running various stress tests for over an hour my cpu 9900k never exceeds 78 c and my gpu rtx2080 idles at 35 with fans off and never exceeds 80c under load (both are running over clocks. On a side note after reading some comments here i should point out GPU vertical mounting does not increase temps and does NOT shorten the life of your card in a case with good airflow
if you’re un certain seek advice from pro’s not comments from Randoms’

Great case for the money
Great case to work with , easy access and good routing and good looking case
Good case with plenty of features
I purchased as an upgrade to my Sahara P34 gaming case. The NZXT Elite has a number of good features but it does misses and a few also. Overall I’m very pleased with this case and it has a very user friendly design. Adding additional drives and various model CPU coolers is simple. The cable management guides help keep all the leads neatly hidden away. You can also and a number of useful features like controlling the RGB lights and fan speeds. If you can over look the single front USB 3.1 ports it’s an attractive buy
Great case bad vendor. Don't buy from Scan.
Case is great, can’t fault it. Would not recommend purchasing this from Scan. Purchased as a birthday gift, wrapped and given four days later. When opened by my partner it had a large scartch on the case. As this was not reported in the first 48hours of delivery they won’t replace or issue another.
Purchase from NZXT or Another site.
Case is brilliant and easy to build in despite the size.
Great budget case!
Great case the rgb on the power button is very glitchy but probably just a one off on my case it’s a sturdy case and is very heavy !!!!
10/10 Case
My previous case for five years was an NZXT case so i thought I will get another of their cases and I have not a bad word to say at all. The side panel is so easy to remove with just one button. The glass panel is very simple and looks great. Cable management inside is sleek and very well done with plenty of velcro cable ties. Plenty of room to add more fans. So far I have added 3 more, a 212 CPU cooler with plenty of case clearance. RGB looks great and very easy to use.
I was partially worried about the cooling due to the top not being open like my previous NZXT case, though with 3 additional fans at the top the cooling is great and I rarely get above 50 degrees so I cannot complain. Case is definitely on the higher end of costs but for the design, ease and cooling I cannot fault it.

To drool over!
Simply wow! The build quality and the minimalist design makes you feel proud to start the build with such a nice case. This is one case everyone would have next to their monitor and luckily it’s not too big. The tinted black glass has a subtle exposure to the inside which tops it all off compared to the fully clear glass which I think looks cheap. Cable management is very good and easy to manage as the case has its own side compartment behind the board so it’s all hidden.
The branding on the case is also subtle and doesn’t overpower its appearance. Definitely worth a buy for anyone even if they’re building a normal everyday pc. For those who want to show off their expensive parts like me, there isn’t a better case out there!

Top mounted radiator is a no go
Unfortunately with a 280mm radiator this case forces you to mount it in such a way which is not optimum, the pump will be lower than the top pocket of air, but your radiator must be mounted where the pipes receive and send water to the top of the radiator rather than the bottom.
Plenty of very useful cable management channels & ports for pretty much any build order. Having said that, any motherboards with front facing USB heads will cause a slight bend or display of cabling with a full atx board.
Just about big enough to contain a 280 mm radiator and an RTX 3090

Very Good
it does look a bit bland compared to other cases on the market but it is easy to assemble in for beginners. Supports ATX motherboards. there is 2 filters on the case one bellow the power supply that’s very easy to remove and one bellow the radiator mount that needs a screwdriver i believe. {i haven’t removed that one}.
it did take a while to ship due to Brexit and parcel-force weren’t very helpful but that’s not the sellers faul
Great looking mini itx case, but not flawless.
Really nice quality feeling case. Steel so it’s heavy, especially once you’ve got an AIO or 2 in it.
In the setup I’ve got you’ve got ~270mm for GPU’s if you want to use a radiator + fans in the front.
Speaking of, you CAN fit 280mm rads in the front of this thing, but it’s REALLY tight. Smaller end tanks help and the pipes have to go up. You can remove the front fan mount and the weird bracket that straddles the PSU/cable cover for better access, but it’s still a bit of a fight. I believe they say 280 isn’t supported because not all will fit, but some will. I decided on a 240mm and there’s plenty room. Still a pain in the backside but easier. I’ve also got a 120mm AIO for my GPU, god I’m sick of that thing, but that sits happily in the rear fan slot. Speaking of, with 27mm rad and a 25mm fan you might find out the rear fan fouls against taller CPU pump/blocks. I had to sand down the Toughfan I have in there by about 4mm for it to fit flush and push the pump block away towards the front of the case for the blades to not skim it. Works fine but like the 280 in the front, SHE’S TIGHT.
I actually think running straight air cooling in this thing is preferable as you only really have the front for a rad and that way you’re more than likely pumping warm/hot air into the case. I’ve got the front and top sucking in and only the rear blowing out.
I will also say I think the top fan could have been push away from the motherboard tray a full 10mm or even more and the grill for it are a touch small in my opinion but its functional. Furthermore, I also believe you could fit 2 120mm fans in that roof if you cut either the front or rear rad support. Maybe even 2 140mm if you cut rad support all together.
Anything I’ve not mentioned is because it either just works fine and is unremarkable or I’ve not remembered. For the price its pretty great. A big mini ITX case, but I feel its form over function in this case. Ha. I’m a loser.
Oh! While I remember the front of the case, its steel with plastic behind it. If it was 5mm further out you could easily fit push/pull fans on a rad with one pair being on the outside of the mounting bracket. But as it is, it’s too close and chokes the fans. Such a shame.
-edit and update-
I’ve since bought a custom front panel which allows one to mount fans or, in my case, a 120 mm radiator on the outside of the bracket. It’s also perforated for much better airflow.
I’ve also upgraded from a hybrid 1080 to a EVGA 3090 FTW3 Ultra. It. Does. Not. Fit. It’s a 2.75 slot GPU and this case can handle 2.5 tops. HOWEVER. If you’re willing to drill out 3 rivets and or cut up that PSU shroud (you won’t see it any more with a fat card in there) It can be made to work. Will also need to remove the fancy bracket that goes from the base to the roof. Another negative is that you’ll be starving the card of air if you use a full size PSU. I’ve had to under clock/under volt this monstrous GPU about 15/20% to keep it from thermal throttling. I’ll be replacing my ATX power supply soon with an SFX one, hopefully that’ll help, otherwise I’ll be donating it to the missus who really likes it.

Very nice case
The case is very slick and sturdy, it is a bit fiddly but all the side come off including the front which is held by 2 small screws on both sides of the case. Don’t forget to install your hard drive if you have one before putting PSU as it is a bit hard to screw in. The case has a lot of cable management features and a big back side panel to hold cables, as well as a tray holding the 2 fans, it’s very convenient as you take of 2 hand screws if and you can take the fans off and makes it easy for a water cooler to be fitted. It also comes with a NZXT fan and rgb controller.

NZXT have set a standard with this case.
NZXT are known for great cases. This mid size ATX case does not disappoint. With brilliant cable management trays your build will look clean and tidy. It’s construction is very good though I did expect a slightly thinker material, but I am still pleased. Plenty of room for a full ATX motherboard and also for most GPU’s (always check dimensions). Im sure you will struggle to find a GPU that won’t fit. The tampered glass is a nice touch to show off the internals of your build. The panel opens so easily it shoudk set a standard of how it should be done. The front IO’s are my only issue. But it nice to see a USB type c on there. Air flow in very good but I do expect that anyway from NZXT.
Never skimp on your case. Airflow is important. For me this one ticks all.the boxes within my budget. It’s not cheap, but not expensive. It’s then perfect mid range case.
Classic mid tower 👌
Don’t bother with putting any fans in the front. Just slap a 140mm up top and a 120mm in the rear and your good to go

A definite won't buy agai
Don’t let the title deceive, this is a fantastic PC case. Just keep reading!
As with anything, there are pros and cons however!
Pros;
– The cable management: there is plenty of space behind the mobo tray to do your cables, the basement for the PSU is ample and spacious
– The space: I only have an mATX mobo, yes it looks lost, but the case gives me a clear and obvious upgrade path down the line with space for an ATX mobo (and most likely a 3090 would fit)
– Airflow: the fans in this (3x120mm front 1×140 rear) are brilliant, not the quietest in the world, but by no stretch the loudest and the can shift air keeping things cool (a good 5-10 deg cooler than my last case)
Cons;
– The cable management: while there is ample space, the channels built in I found get in the way somewhat, mainly with sleeved braided 24 and 8 pin, there isn’t the space in the channels for these and nor is there room for them to be squished in behind happily
– The space: (this is a me problem!) my components look lost, an mATX board, GTX 1060, just look tiny!
– The price: At 180 non-sale (at time of purchase), this is not a cheap case, and truthfully doesn’t feel it either. I don’t feel my money is wasted in the least, but it can sometimes price others out. There are cheaper options of the same thing, but why would you when there is RGB? That’s at least akin to a 5% overclock right?
All in all, I would not buy this again, not because I don’t like it or wouldn’t recommend it, but rather because I don’t need to, this both looks and feels like it’ll last for the next 25yrs of upgrade cycles, so while it’s expensive, it’ll probably save me money in the long ru

Beautiful case and a delight to build in, however airflow can be problematic.
I bought this case for a new build to replace my gaming PC. I’m using the z73 AIO cooler with 3 x 120mm AER 2 fans mounted on the radiator and 2 x 140mm mounted on the top rear and back panel of the case. Spec’s of the PC are running an OC’d 3600XT whilst I wait for a 5900x and a RTX 3080.
This case is a delight to build in, the CAM controller with AER fans makes it supremely easy to assemble and cable management is on point. The only issue I’m seeing is around airflow, as the case has a tempered glass panel with perforations for airflow on the edges of the case, it doesn’t seem to be effective enough when under load. I see idle temps of ~45 degrees but once you start running a AAA game, temps shoot to around 80 degrees. I noticed when removing the glass panel, the temps drop about 15 degrees so bear this in mind when looking to purchase.
Other than the temperature situation, can’t fault the case or the included controllers. Happy with the purchase but may review if the case needs switching out once I’ve observed the 5900x temperature performance.

Lovely, Solid Case
This is a lovely case, as you’d expect from NZXT, it’s not perfect but it’s very good. I would like more clearance between the hard drive rack (moveable) and either the cabling from the PSU or the front bottom case fan, not a stopper but it’s not well designed. Other than these minor gripes, lovely case that looks great and does exactly what i want it to do.
Gamers case.
Very pretty when adding L.E.D fans , good cable management. easy to work on.
Very good case
A very brilliant case. Looks very modern and has a lot of space. Comes with 2 fans which is nice and comes with a removable AIO mount. It also comes with cable management (zip ties, 2 Velcro straps and some channels to route the cables) which is very nice. This is a very good case and would definitely recommend to anyone building a pc.
Great case, loud fans
East enough to assemble, clear where parts should go, mostly easy access to screws etc, however stock fans are quite loud in my experience, so if youre looking for a quiet build definitely buy different fans. Overall though, a great case with brilliant built quality
+10 points for looks, -1 point for airflow
Oh my where do I even begin, I’ve had this case for about 3/4 months now and it’s looks still get me every time it’s such a sleek and minimalistic case it has a nice glass front panel. This case has something called a basement where your power supply is hidden so you can’t see it through the front panel but can when you take off the back panel and that honestly just adds on more to the looks. Next it comes with 2 mounted black NZXT fans and these fans are decent I used them for a few months and recently replaced them for better cooling. The back of the case has good straps and sections built in for cable management. And the only downside I can think of is that since the front panel is solid metal and it’s not mesh or has holes this can affect cooling since you won’t have very good intake because the only intake for the front is on the side where there are a bunch of holes with a dust filter and at first I thought this was terrible since my PC would overheat but those side holes are pretty alright as I was able to maintain pretty good temps with my 2 intake fans at the front running at full speed whilst in a game. So obviously due to the solid front panel cooling isn’t amazing but it’s still pretty great and overall this case is worth the buy if you just want a clean and minimalistic build without those fancy RGB lights at the front.

Did it’s hob
Can’t really review it as it was a present for someone. They said it did it’s job
Greate case
Everything is great, the onli thing that can be improve are the screws for the side panels , however they work fine
Clean design, tight screws!
Very pretty and professional looking case – I much prefer it to the generic “gamer” look. Nice layout for a beginner.
The only trouble I had was trying to take off the PCIE bracket screws since they were so ridiculously tight! Had to use a flathead screwdriver rather than the Phillips one it’s designed for, could be my luck.
Airflow may be mediocre but it should be fine for most people. Adding intake fans doesn’t make much difference.
Looks very nice.
Package came slightly dented but the products wasn’t damaged. The case fits perfectly on my desk and hopefully I’ll be able to fit my GTX 1050 and asus mother in.
Great compact size
Usually I go for full ATX motherboards but this time decided to go for something more compact. When I look at what slots are populated on board, well it’s just the GPU so I don’t really need anymore than a single one. These days most of my storage needs are handled by a tiny NVME drive replacing the 3 ssds currently in use. So with mini ITX decided, I started to wonder if a compact case existed that could house a full size PSU and a medium size GPU. This case certainly fits the bill. The tempered glass panel seemed a bit stiff in its pop connectors and initially thoughts were running through my mind of shattered glass particles. Nope. One you get used to a few openings and closing it feels OK. A blob of grease can be used if it’s really that stiff.
In use, once the motherboard is in place and the graphics card and PSU is in place. That’s most of the vertical space taken up. To the right of the motherboard where that vertical metal strip is, there is bags of room. I guess that’s useful for hard drives and things. Ssds can be stashed behind the mother board or on the side closest to the glass next to the power supply. Not sure if I will ever fit front fans on the case. I’m running everything as stock anyway. Even if I do, it’ll probably be without the front fascia which has vents on the edge rather than the front. I think my msi motherboard only has 3 fan headers which are all used so maybe those will need to be powered from the psu. Not sure yet. Anyhow it’s a great little case. Chose the black and red case as all my cases have been black so far. Time for a little change.
Just a brief picture to show corsair vengeance Pro RGB is absolutely fine with the stock cooler.
NXZT H510, good case.
First I must say I liked the NXZT cases very much. As I could not afford the most expensive models this was amazing. The cable management has enought spaces at the back so it keep more organized all the cables at the back of the case.
The only think I did not like is the quality of the USB 3.0 cable from the front panel. As I needed an extra set of USB when I disconnected fromt he Motherboard it broke and left the blue part at the motherboard which took long time for me to remove.

Small but big
I always wanted a mini itx case. And this does not feel like it.
It is small but really heavy, and you need a sfx power supply or your graphics card will suffer.
I tried to put it directly on the ground, and thermals are not so much affected, I think the case feet are doing their job.
Overall I like it, because it is full of features and comes with a lot of goodies.
Nice looking case with great price
Pros:
Cant complain about the price. Really like the aesthetic of this case, the white colour casing with side tempered glass. H510 came with combined front panel connectors which means I dont need to plug those in one by one. It also offer plenty of options for cable management. It came with 2 default exhaust fan, as the case is optimised with negative airflow, I added 2 intake fans anyway as I dont want dust to build up. Comes with filter in the bottom and front .
Cons:
Only one USB 3 on the front panel, which is definitely not enough for me. The older model H500 comes with 2 USB 3, with H510 replaced one of them with USB C connector. While adding USB C is a nice touch, it is not worth replacing USB 3 and for most of the budget build, most motherboards are yet to support USB C connector. In my case it means my USB C is left unused.

A bit expensive, but it can guarantee you tons of customization in a mid tower space.
The NZXT H710i for sure doesn’t reflect its price in terms of quality and performance, as it is a bit expensive. But it seems that it’s very hard to find good alternatives for some configuration, so the first thing you should evaluate, is that if you really need a case like this one.
It allows to have 3 HDDs and 4 SSDs maximum. No option to have an internal CD/DVD reader of any sort, and max 7 fans. Any GPU or CPU cooler is supported, as there is a lot of space inside.
TIP: plan carefully from the beginning where your PSU cables needs to be, as it could be a bit difficult to change setup after you start to build your PC.
Easy build
Fantastic looking case. Clean lines and a bit more sophisticated looking than some of the cases that look straight out of a bad sci fi movie FX dept. Comes with RGB lighting too. Son loves it.
Easy build. Lots of space and easy to get access to most parts of the case.
Nice modern case
Really nice case, the thumb screws to open the case seem a little flimsy but overall it was really easy to build in and has nice cable management pre installed but is a bit tight for space at the back if you have lots of cables and all the drive bays occupied. Front airflow is a bit low so best to use static pressure fans for that area to force in the air. Temps dont seem to get higher than 65 for the cpu
Great PC Case with tiny flaws
It’s great PC Case, has tiny flaws though, like in front fans would choke the air, so it’s recommended not to use in front fans, you can however use it at the bottom and make it so it’s sucking air from the case rather then from outside, to reduce the heat, the top fan rattling the case and makes the noise, so it’s the default fans that comes with it makes this problem, but I contacted NZXT and they sent a new fan with rubber and it fixed the problem, it same happens at the bottom of the case for PSU, the PSU is rattling the case so you have to use a thick paper to hold the plastic cage so it doesn’t move, but other then that the case is good, not great, but good for it’s price, if you have a higher budget go for newer builds, or even H500i for improved things, but very sleek design, very nice, recommended overall for it’s price.
