NZXT H510 Flow Review

This is one of the most popular cases being purchased at the moment... why? Well, that's what I wanted to know. So I bought one, and proceeded to review it in the same comprehensive way I usually do. And I'm not surprised why the H510 Flow is popular. Why? Well, that's what the review is for. Well, SUPER REVIEW... yeah, I'm not 100% on the name either.

See over 10 videos of NZXT H510 Flow Review. You have the most of detail. Excellent! This video should get at least 1M reviews. Good Job!

Just built new system in this case and moved preinstalled fan from the front to the top. Then installed NZXT X73 AIO with two RGB fans in front. Looks awesome and when idle NVMe on motherboard is the hottest component in the box, hotter than CPU or GPU.

[pietrmuffei]

Happy new year. Glad to see a new video from you in my timeline.

I've noticed this case gets a ton of undue hate from the community, though I feel a lot of it comes from the price without realizing the current issues with supply chain/importing. $95-$100 for additional front panel holes and some basic and minor improvements over the normal H510's original $70 price point is triggering for some. But that's just it, the H510 isn't $70 anymore. It's also $90-$100 now.
NZXT did a bang up job on this case. There are better performers (Meshify C, which I currently own, or the P400A for example.)
I'm about to transfer my build from the Meshify C to this case. My daughter needs a new case pronto, and will be taking the Fractal. My main draw is the aesthetics of NZXT cases, now with AIRFLOW. I would have picked this up were it a thing 2 years ago.

These videos have the look as some company/techreview site that has been on the industry for a long time. Good job, great review.

[reynalddilao]

At 8:45 its a nice idea but you forgot that sata power cables are angled downward and will be harder/akward to install

[RexNathanChan]

Ive got H510, moved included 2 case fans to intake (from rear exhaust) and added two new exhaust fans.... Maybe i shouldn't have touched from factory***

[chrissoulless]

i really don't get the physics here....why does an extra intake fan not improve thermals?

[ChrisKadaver]

Pretty nice case. I'd preferef it to be slightly shorter so that the intake fans comes a little closer both to the graphics card and the cpu. It's like the frame for many cases comes from a time when we had harddrive cases in the front. Now that they're gone I can't see the reason for not just making them shorter. It would improve thermals even more. They would probably be able to shorten it another 10 cm in lenght without a problem.

[KeyKay]

i just got an nzxt streaming plus n i’m really excited for the improvements it’s gonna bring to my channel🤟🏼 this brand is p cool

[Theth]

The point on the wasted space as I have the original H500, I think that is purely because they are reusing tooling as for the most part its identical, the way the glass and metal side panel attach, the "wasted space" is actually because all other skus of this case as far as I am aware off have a side and bottom filter the flat bit there I believe is to direct airflow and even if they dont I think this is purely a result of reusing tooling just something I noted also on that note its also why the attachment methods arent great as these were originally on a case that I got for £60 brand new at the time so a lot of issues I have seen with reviewers comes from its lineage and that NXZT just stopped including features to save on production costs for cases they could get away with it on.

[RegazozoGaming]

I just ordered this case and got it for a reasonable 80US. I have been using the H500 since it was released years ago and up until my last upgrades it was fine. I have now have a Red Devil 6900xt(it fits, barely, computer build tetris was not very fun) and like all AMD GPUs it needs to be finely tuned and more importantly needs adequate cooling. I have been able to get it tuned and my daily driver settings get me a respectable Time Spy score of 21000 on the GPU, this would be about 500 higher but the H500 just cant get enough air through it to keep it from throttling towards the end of the second test. I am literally 2C from being happy lol. Hopefully once this arrives and I can do the swap over I can be 100% happy with my build again!

[Doobie]

"Most popular case on Amazon I haven't tested". MacDonalds is popular, but it's still not good for you.This case should 100% be the same price as the 510 (£50-ish) for all the work they did on it.Good review man, see you for the next vid next January 😉

[Manu-yvjt]

I would buy the case, if it would have clear glas side panels :( so an I cant see my parts

[pietrmuffei]

I’d like to see an arctic liquid freezer 280 mounted in there at push&pull (bar removed) - there’s not much space for a 280 to fit as by some other reviewers reported - the white cable bar is taking its share. Nzxt needs to redesign and place it differently so we can mount a 280 rad in the top panel

[christopherwood]

One 120 mm intake fan is just really weak. Buying a case then having to go out and purchase additional fans is an annoyance. Especially if you want matching fans. Put two 140 mm fans in the front and that 120 mm exhaust and call it a day. Then you would have a decent case out of the box.

[PanRhei]

I see older cases you reviewed (like the Lancool II Mesh) aren't included in your roundup comparison. I'm guessing because of a new testing methodology?

[PanRhei]

If you don't mind unsolicited requests, I'd be interested in some coverage of Thermalright's coolers. They've had some good deals lately, and from what I've found scouring forums, impressions are mostly positive, but there's very little reviews with proper testing, especially in English. Whenever I see a Thermalright deal posted there's plenty of "this sounds good, but I'd like to see a review" so it might be decent for views.

I just finished installing a Frost Spirit 140, and I am very impressed by it upgrading from an Arctic single tower. The Frost Commander, Peerless Assassin (jeez these names), and the Silver Soul are some other models I've seen pop up discounted on Amazon recently. (I saw you covered the Macho a few years ago).

[yashgupta]

Should i buy h510 flow or lian li 215. Which has better airflow. Please help me @AV Techy
