![]() We have two PCIe cards that require additional power – an HDMI capture card and our graphics card – and getting both cables to fit through the inch-square aperture wasn’t a great experience. Routing cables through the small aperture in the PSU shroud was also a challenge. Eventually, we mounted the 3.5-inch drive in the upper slot – hardly the most space-efficient solution, but it did allow the right-angle cables we were using to be connected. We tried again using the bottom slot of the drive bay and encountered the same issue. If we removed the hard drive bay and screwed the drive directly into the floor of the case as shown in the instructions, there was no clearance for SATA power and data cables to be installed. The only difficulty we encountered early on was in mounting the single 3.5-inch drive used in our system. Installation proceeded quickly, thanks to the generous space afforded on the backside of the case for cables, the sizeable PSU shroud and the integrated I/O shield on the Aorus motherboard we’re using. Also, NZXT doesn’t actually include a riser card in the box, so you’ll need to pick one up separately if you want to use this feature. Some issues have been reported when using GPU risers with X570 motherboards, so we won’t test the vertical GPU mount in this brief review. With the 360mm Kraken X72 not supported by this mid-size case, we opted for the Wraith Prism air cooler provided with the 3rd-gen Ryzen processor. We installed an X570 system in the H510 Elite, based around a Ryzen 7 3700X processor, 32GB of DDR4 RAM and chunky MSI RTX 2080 Gaming X Trio graphics card. Finally, it’s nice to see NZXT have opted to add filtration for all air vents. Weirdly, NZXT have left a small gap in the back of the case where the horizontal and vertical PCIe mounts join up, directly below the rear 120mm fan.Ī removable drive bay is also included within the PSU chamber. Nice.Īs well as seven expansion slots, there are two additional slots if you’d like to go for a vertical GPU mount. The front radiator mount is actually fully removable, so you can fit your fans and radiator outside of the case, then slide it into position and secure it with a pair of thumb screws. In terms of liquid cooling, there’s room for a 120mm radiator on the back and a 240/280mm radiator up front. Since late August, NZXT has also started adding a 140mm top case fan to H510 Elite cases – and those that have already bought a case which doesn’t include this can request an additional 140mm fan for free from NZXT customer service. A pair of 140mm Aer RGB 2 fans are mounted up front and a rear 120mm AER F120 case fan is installed at the back of the chassis. Internally, we see the return of the ventilated PSU shroud and vertical cable shroud that has defined recent NZXT cases. Similarly, having only one 3.5mm port means that you’ll need to use the bundled adapter if you intend to plug in both a microphone and headphones. It’s nice to see USB-C included, but I’d have preferred to see at least two full-size USB ports, given how few gaming peripherals connect using USB-C these days. In terms of I/O, we’re looking at a meagre assortment: a single full-size USB port, one USB-C and a single 3.5mm port. We’re testing a white/black (“stormtrooper”) version of the case, with a full black colourway also available. The case is clean throughout, with a nearly invisible NZXT wordmark on the front of the case. The H510 Elite is a premium mid-tower case with tinted tempered glass on the front and side, providing a nice showcase for any RGB-encrusted components you’ve placed inside.
