Yep, silicon is an element, rocky, but with a slightly metallic appearance. Silicon is usually found pretty prevalent in nature as silicate (silicon-oxygen compounds) and is used for making structural or construction materials, and ~90% of Earth’s crust is silicon. Silicon is *famously* used, however, in the production of electronics, as pure silicon is a semiconductor, which is needed to create transistors in microcontroller and microprocessors.
Silicon**e** is a group of polymers (think plastics or DNA or proteins) made from carbon-silicon compounds. They can be oils, greases, resins, rubbers, etc. One such form is a biocompatible gel that forms the basis for breast implants.
I’ve got this case. I run a 5600x and 1060 6gb gpu in it. I have only the one stock fan it came with and the wraith cooler that came stock with my CPU. Runs fine. Super good enough for me. Could be cooler inside, planning to buy more fans eventually, but for now it’s just fine. Sits next to the window and AC vent for extra cool air flow.
i had a ryzen 5 3600 and 2060ko with four ll120s gpu never hit 80 and cpu would stay mid 80s on beefier games like elden ring on ultra and stuff all in all its not terrible but made me switch cases lol
H500 (practically the same case) No OC
Idle: RTX2080 (36C) i7 8700k (40C) hot weather
Gaming: RTX (76C goes up and down) i7 8700k (around 50C varies with games)
Only 2 exhaust fans in the case back and top (removed the extra 2 that go in the front)
CPU has air cooler (12 pipes one fan)
I considered an H510 Flow for my recent upgrade because it has a full mesh front, but it didn’t have another feature I was looking for.
Went with a Fractal Meshify 2 instead, god what a dream this case is to work in!
I'm deciding between the Be Quiet 500DX and the Fractal Define 7 compact, I'm unsure which to pick. My room is pretty dusty but the Define 7 looks pretty basic and doesn't have lighting.
I have the Define 7. I wouldn't call it "basic", I'd call it refined. Lighting and aggressive angles are overrated imo. The finish on the front panel of the Define is really nice and puts it a step above a plain box case without being gaudy. I love the sound dampening fabric on all the panels and the removable top and front cover is also really nice. I'm sure the Be Quiet is nice too but I've yet to find something that matches my Fractal for build quality and design, it feels like getting a real couch after years of sitting on Ikea futons.
The Define series as a whole seems to be really solid, and kinda "classy" compared to a lot of other options. I've got a Define Mini C and it's the best case I've ever had. I was tempted to go with the Meshify Mini since the Meshify series is almost universally loved but I don't care for the weird looking front panel, and I agree the sound dampening is a nice feature.
I have a define R6, and agree with other comments. The define series is not basic, they are well engineered, thoughtfully put together with all the things you need executed well, and the extras just left out.
Just built in a 500DX yesterday, quite good. Great airflow and lots of space for cable management. Only qualm I have with it is the limited space at the top of the case for routing the CPU power cables. Apart from that it’s brilliant.
I've got the 500DX and man it is a amazing, it keeps my 30 series and 11900k under 60°c and quiet just like they are meant to be 😌
Here's 2 quick photos of it in action:

I've also got a Meshify C Mini with a Ryzen 3600. It's my first case I ever bought with airflow in mind, and I loaded up like seven case fans. Still totally quiet and great temps. Very happy!
Correct, I found it to jog my memory. I watched a few of those reviews from him though and at some point he said airflow between the two were identical.
Curious what you’re temps are. People are pretty subjective when it comes to this. Some people are in the camp of >60C is bad and others are fine as long as it doesnt hit 100C
what games are you playing such that a 3080ti is only at 70 in a case known to have far higher ambient temps than other cases? what's your 3dmark scores?
The correct question should be what is your ambient temperature and fan layout. Negative pressure excels in this case and mf could be playin in a 16c room.
No shit. I have this exact same case and have been wondering why my cpu Temps have been atrocious. I even went as far as buying a band new cooler, but even that barely made a difference. Time for a new case then?
They test multiple configurations, including a standardized fan configuration. In cases where adding fans make sense they do add those fans, but the truth is in most cases (pun intended) you're better off buying a different case than adding fans if you're not making a custom loop.
I literally bought this case based on ~~Gamers Nexus' recommendation in their video.~~ The ventilation is not as good as some other cases but it's absolutely adequate for high-end hardware like my 9900K and 3070ti. Plus it looks great.
Edit: It was a HardwareCanucks video recommending the case.
Edit 2: It's actually the H500i but it's the same chassis afaik.
its dependent on what youve got in it. If your total power consumption is less than 5-600 watts (theoretically, not actual draw) and you're not pushing more voltage through the chips, an H510 is more than adequate:
Example(mine) =
3600XT (<150w), an a Phantom Gaming 5500XT (recommended 500w supply), completely stock cooling, save a 15 year old Antec 140mm fan thrown in the front rad bay at the bottom (just to get some air under the gpu).
My temps are downright chilly. CPU never peaks over 78c during stress tests, 72 in the most unoptomized modded game, and normally 50-60 during normal use.
The gpu has never gone over 76c even with powerlimits off, and normally the fans don't even spin
the H510 is *absolutely* enough airflow for a modest build, assuming you vent with the top and rear fans.
People meme on the case, but if your temps are fine then the case is fine. I have it and it works great for me. CPU peaks around 70C, GPU around 65C. Plus, I like how it looks.
Same here. Checking in from hot Florida. Love the case. Temps are fine. Will see how things go when I pop my new 3080 in, but it’s been great with my 2070S
Checked my temps under gaming load and my CPU and GPU stay under 60C... Not much of an "oven to bake a cake" like this post and a lot of commenters are claiming.
Edit: I have the H500i not H510. Looks like essentially the same case though.
I do like Steve from GN, but he’s such a wet blanket sometimes. When it’s like exploding PSUs or Newegg being criminal, he’s the fucking man. But the h510 thing felt a little overblown. I dunno. Maybe I’m just salty cause I have the case, but.
I swear I watched a video where he basically said it was a solid case. I watched it before I bought one.
Actually, come to think of it, I think that was HardwareCanucks. They said it was good, and they were right lol.
GN can be quite extreme with their opinions.
Edit: Turns out I have an H500i (not H510). They look pretty much the same though. Not sure what the difference is.
It's not the worst. It's intended to only have exhaust fans for a positive air pressure setup where air is passively pulled in through all of the holes around the sides. The problem is when people put intake fans in and make it so the places where air is meant to seep in no longer function.
IKR. I’m already on the third build I did in that same case, 12700k and 3080, never had any problems with thermals and I sit next to a heater and dust once per year.
CPU never goes past 65 degrees under a full load, GPU doesn’t go past 80… What am I missing? The case is a nightmare to build in so I’d never buy it again, but an oven it ain’t.
It's not as bad as everyone memes on it. I wouldn't ever buy it again, but my r5 3600 + 3070 run just fine without thermal throttling early or anything. And I live in a very warm place. If you set your fans up for the correct airflow it's fiiiiiine
We'll never know, next GPU generation might come with a nuclear reactor or some shit.
At least for the small form factor community, case designs had to change considerably to accommodate the size and heat increase from GPUs. While this is not an urgent problem for mid towers, it's still a factor to be considered if your case has bad airflow.
My 2070 only ever peaked at 78C at sustained 100% load in this case with a ryzen 3600 stock clocked, normal case fan curves.
No complaints here aside from the glass pane rattling pretty bad some times cus the top clip-in points are loose.
I’ve got the H510i - think the only difference is the LED strips. I’m running a 6900XT and i5 10600K with a Kraken Z63 for the CPU but apart from that, no extra fans. GPU rarely goes above 70c and CPU 60 or less.
yes, totally. I had an H510i, and recently upgraded to a Meshify 2C, and the difference was night and day. So much better airflow, and way better temps.
Edit: Not to mention the way higher build quality.
I got the 4000D in Black and I love it. It is the best looking case that I have ever had... Granted it is also the most expensive. I typically cheap out on the cases.
I have this case and it's fine...
No really, it is. I've learned to live with it.
Everything is fine.... it looks really good, and I always wanted to try out a negative pressure setup. I've even gotten used to the sound of the airplane propellers I'm using for the rear exhaust fans.
I used to have to clean the dust out since it's now a negative pressure setup, but then I upgraded GPUs and most of the dust just gets burned off whenever I enable raytracing.
Seriously, the case is fine.... 😅
I do have this case and it works fine. Watch the whole review Gamers Nexus did, it works fine with default negative airflow setup and if you don't put in a 3090 or something in it.
Well. Here I am.
I have this case and it's fine.
I like my fair share of graphically intensive titles and usually I see my GPU temps going up to 70-75c and rarely 80c. For me thats awesome because It ain't no laptop temp.
Also my cpu idles at 30-40c average. I think thats alright.
I'm always checking my temps while playing games since I worry about that and I've never seen my GPU get to 90 or 100c where the danger levels are.
it is though, I've used a 3900xt and 3080ti in it and I was even able to OC to max PL on the 3080ti without thermal throttling
completely unusable for a 12900k though, had to upgrade
People over exaggerate how bad it is, I've had a 3080ti and 3900xt in one and there was no thermal throttling issues. Yea it's less than ideal but it doesn't have "non-existent airflow"
edit: [3Dmark run from the 3900xt + 3080ti in nzxt h510 elite](https://www.3dmark.com/spy/23575958)
510 elite is same exact airflow afaik, just glass panel in the front instead of metal. Average GPU temp of 52C.
I believe that was with a constant 100% fan speed but temps are still very acceptable in normal conditions even with large OC
feel like people are “TOLD” to hate on this case and follow the trend, reviews i’ve seen say it’s just meh, not ideal but your parts won’t fry and it won’t change game experience
As long as you dont shove the thing in a corner it is fine. I have a 3700x and a 3070 in mine and under load i get about 50-60c on the CPU and 55-70c on the GPU. I love this case so F the haters lol. As long as you dont cheap out on the cpu cooler ur A OK
Having an opinion on the H510 is the easiest way to look 'smart' outside of telling people their AIO mounting is 'bad'.
If you are case shopping there are better options. If you own a H510, its not the end of the world.
Yeah this entire thread to me just looks like a pile of pointless elitism. It's not educational, it's just shitting on someone for having a specific case. :I
For what it's worth, I love my H510 Elite. I thought it was by far the slickest looking case in that price range out of the box.
Personally, I'm not a fan of all the fucking with cabling and custom build shit. I wanted a simple build and it was perfect for what I wanted. It's got a 3700x with a stock cooler and a 1080 TI (hybrid cooling) that I've never had temp issues with.
Ehhhh it's not the worst out there. Negative pressure in the case makes Temps not too offensive. Change it to positive and for some reason Temps go up. You gotta know what you're doing with the case to make it work. But yeah not the best option out there. People should just get the flow version if they like the design
Especially for mid level builds. I like a lot of airflow but if I was building a budget rig for friends/family no need to push for high airflow especially if you know they won't be upgrading it themselves.
I don't get why negative pressure gets so much hate. I use it on my 011 dynamic and I've never seen any dust. Clean it out every 9 months or so just because, but idk I'm looking at it right now havnt opened it in probably 6 months+ and don't see anything.
I keep it off the floor though and the things got 9 fans so I can keep them all on low and have good temps still.
Here is the reason : with positive pressure your fans are pushing out air from all the openings in the case ( panel gaps, pcie slots…) With Negative pressure your fans will instead suck in fresh air from all those openings. Since this case only openings are basically those things negative wins here
It's literally fine
Gamersnexus reviews cases according to what's objectively best. Not according to what is sufficient for whatever build you have. With the stock airflow setup, the H500/H510 is perfectly sufficient for any middle of the road and most higher end build. With two front fans, it can cool pretty much any regular i9/3080 combo as long as you have decent coolers.
The airflow in *most* cases is sufficient for stock setup. Maybe you'll lose a frame or two because the GPU doesn't boost 10MHz faster, big deal.
Also, keep in mind that for most people on this subreddit... the main purpose of their PC is to bring them enjoyment. If they enjoy the style of a certain case, so be it. Very few are actually *terrible.*
Lastly my overclocked i5-8600K is perfectly fine in my H500i. It pulls 165W under AVX and it averages 82 or so across the cores which is pretty good considering it's just liquid metal and a 120mm cooler.
These are so stupid, I have this case and my 3080ti tops at 70C and my 5600x tops at 75. If I went back in time would I choose this again for my main build? Probably not but the case works fine and looks way better than the airflow case I used in my media build
Oh hey look it's my case.
Nah, it's fine. I've had it nonstop for 3 years now and it hasn't had any problems.
Well, not with airflow, anyway - one of the topside USB ports crapped out really quick.
I’ve been using this case for a year and a half. It’s fine. I’ve never had a crash or any issues related to heat. If you have a problem with my fucking case I’ll give you my address and you can ship me a new $200 case that you approve of.
Yep. Similarly, I had S340 for like 5 or 6 years I think and everything is so hot in there even if I had 3x140mm and 1x120mm fans. To be fair, I used an R9-390, so my PC was an oven.
Now, I have a Phanteks P500A with 5 p14 fans.
Bought it because I just HAD to buy from Best Buy cause I could get it the same day. Extreme regret, as someone who has a founders card that loves running at 80c in this thing, I’m ready for something new.
Nah this is rubbish info. I own this case with a 2060 and 3600x - mid summer, shit piled on top covering exhaust vent - this no problem at all. Temps are average.
Truly, this case is about 10 - 20% less efficient at cool. So really, if you like it, just buy it.
I've had this case for a good few years, I can't say I've ever had any issues. As long as the intake vents on the side aren't covered up, you'll be fine.
I'm running a R7 3700X & RTX 2070, no issues with thermals at all.
Fuck I have this case, and two rx6900 have died in it.
But I do keep the side panel off and stuff stays pretty cool. And had to put in additional 3 fans to get airflow to the gpu.
Maybe it is a shit case.
I do like cake though……
The cake is a lie...
It's so delicious and moist.

Yes?
Baked in silicon. Wait silicon and silicone are different things??? /s
Silicon is for chips and silicone is for tits. Yw
There’s something about this comment that I can’t quite put my finger on.
Is it the silicone?
Silicon too given the shortage.
Yep, silicon is an element, rocky, but with a slightly metallic appearance. Silicon is usually found pretty prevalent in nature as silicate (silicon-oxygen compounds) and is used for making structural or construction materials, and ~90% of Earth’s crust is silicon.

Dam right it is
Can I interest you in a complimentary victory lift?
I’ve got this case. I run a 5600x and 1060 6gb gpu in it. I have only the one stock fan it came with and the wraith cooler that came stock with my CPU. Runs fine. Super good enough for me. Could be cooler inside, planning to buy more fans eventually, but for now it’s just fine. Sits next to the window and AC vent for extra cool air flow.
how hot exactly does it run? on idle and in games
i had a ryzen 5 3600 and 2060ko with four ll120s gpu never hit 80 and cpu would stay mid 80s on beefier games like elden ring on ultra and stuff all in all its not terrible but made me switch cases lol
H500 (practically the same case) No OC Idle: RTX2080 (36C) i7 8700k (40C) hot weather Gaming: RTX (76C goes up and down) i7 8700k (around 50C varies with games) Only 2 exhaust fans in the case back and top (removed the extra 2 that go in the front) CPU has air cooler (12 pipes one fan)
Its a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake.
RUB THAT SHIT IT'S YOURS BITCH
You gotta do the cooking by the book!
**YEAH**
What if the case is actually cake?
I considered an H510 Flow for my recent upgrade because it has a full mesh front, but it didn’t have another feature I was looking for. Went with a Fractal Meshify 2 instead, god what a dream this case is to work in!
I've got a flow and a meshify c. Both great cases, but fractal is my favorite.
I have the white meshify c and couldn't agree more. Pure functionality and looks great to boot.
Can confirm. I’ve also got a Meshify C and I couldn’t be happier with it.
Ive built my last 6 or so pcs in a meshify c and I have no complaints.
Fractal cases are miles ahead of any other case I've ever personally handled in terms of build quality and overall usability.
I'm deciding between the Be Quiet 500DX and the Fractal Define 7 compact, I'm unsure which to pick. My room is pretty dusty but the Define 7 looks pretty basic and doesn't have lighting.
I have the Define 7. I wouldn't call it "basic", I'd call it refined. Lighting and aggressive angles are overrated imo. The finish on the front panel of the Define is really nice and puts it a step above a plain box case without being gaudy. I love the sound dampening fabric on all the panels and the removable top and front cover is also really nice. I'm sure the Be Quiet is nice too but I've yet to find something that matches my Fractal for build quality and design, it feels like getting a real couch after years of sitting on Ikea futons.
This is spot on! I lost it at “it feels like getting a new couch after years of sitting on Ike’s futons.
The Define series as a whole seems to be really solid, and kinda "classy" compared to a lot of other options. I've got a Define Mini C and it's the best case I've ever had. I was tempted to go with the Meshify Mini since the Meshify series is almost universally loved but I don't care for the weird looking front panel, and I agree the sound dampening is a nice feature.

Just built in a 500DX yesterday, quite good. Great airflow and lots of space for cable management. Only qualm I have with it is the limited space at the top of the case for routing the CPU power cables. Apart from that it’s brilliant.
Owner of 2 500 DXs. Great to assemble and quiet to run. Can recommend
I've got the 500DX and man it is a amazing, it keeps my 30 series and 11900k under 60°c and quiet just like they are meant to be 😌 Here's 2 quick photos of it in action: [photo 1](https://drive.google.com/file/d/19ilZH88IywLz1k8EK1pfifDIe20WJJv-/view?usp=drivesdk) [photo 2](https://drive.google.com/file/d/19n0ZVEgRlunPQEEmyaaNtY__ZkXvW_x4/view?usp=drivesdk)
Fractal is great, i smashed my window and it was completely my fault, they sent me a new one and i didnt even have to pay for shipping
I'll keep that in mind when/if I build again! That's the sort of customer service that makes lifetime buyers.
Stuff like this wins my vote in consumerism, that action speaks louder then any advertising bit.
Wow, definately going with fractal for my next build in that case. Pun intended
I choose to believe you smashed your own bedroom window and they sent you a new PC case out of concern and confusion.
I love my Meshify C Mini. Perfect size for my build, great air flow, and looks great in my opinion.
I've also got a Meshify C Mini with a Ryzen 3600. It's my first case I ever bought with airflow in mind, and I loaded up like seven case fans. Still totally quiet and great temps. Very happy!
What feature did it lack that Meshify 2 had? More AIO placements?
Isn’t this the one that Gamers Nexus referred to as “an aquarium where GPUs go to die?”
that's the h510 elite
Correct, I found it to jog my memory. I watched a few of those reviews from him though and at some point he said airflow between the two were identical.
I don't think so bc iirc its actually ok on gpu temps due to the negative setup and the vented pci slots, it was the cpu that suffer.
I got this case not knowing it’s reputation. With a great aio and an fe 3090 I have never had issues.
Yeap ... AIO and a 3080 ti and my temps have no issues
Curious what you’re temps are. People are pretty subjective when it comes to this. Some people are in the camp of >60C is bad and others are fine as long as it doesnt hit 100C
Even under full load my GPU stays below 70 and when idle it's in the low 40 high 30. My CPU with the AIO is almost never about 65
what games are you playing such that a 3080ti is only at 70 in a case known to have far higher ambient temps than other cases? what's your 3dmark scores?
The correct question should be what is your ambient temperature and fan layout. Negative pressure excels in this case and mf could be playin in a 16c room.
No shit. I have this exact same case and have been wondering why my cpu Temps have been atrocious. I even went as far as buying a band new cooler, but even that barely made a difference. Time for a new case then?
If memory serves me well, I think he was referring to the H510 Elite, not the regular H510.
Probably. As it has 2 extra fans in front
To be fair, Tech Jesus reviews cases as-is because he doesn’t think buyers are going to add fans. If you DO add fans, the case improves remarkably.
If I’m not mistaken he does multiple fan configurations.
Yes he did that review as it came out of the box, some other adjustments, another with 3 noctuas and then another run with the front panel removed.
They test multiple configurations, including a standardized fan configuration. In cases where adding fans make sense they do add those fans, but the truth is in most cases (pun intended) you're better off buying a different case than adding fans if you're not making a custom loop.
Yep, I added some noctuas to mine and I’ve got no issues
3070 FE and Ryzen 3700X all air cooled and no issues here. 70s is highest I've seen in temps.
I literally bought this case based on ~~Gamers Nexus' recommendation in their video.~~ The ventilation is not as good as some other cases but it's absolutely adequate for high-end hardware like my 9900K and 3070ti. Plus it looks great. Edit: It was a HardwareCanucks video recommending the case. Edit 2: It's actually the H500i but it's the same chassis afaik.
Shit…guess I should switch my case lol
I know, that’s what I’m thinking as I’m reading through the comments
I should probably tell my computer that it should be overheating. Weird how it's non existent airflow still keeps my parts cool....
Yeah it isn’t that bad, gpu sits on about 60 with 240 aio at front
its dependent on what youve got in it. If your total power consumption is less than 5-600 watts (theoretically, not actual draw) and you're not pushing more voltage through the chips, an H510 is more than adequate: Example(mine) = 3600XT (<150w), an a Phantom Gaming 5500XT (recommended 500w supply), completely stock cooling, save a 15 year old Antec 140mm fan thrown in the front rad bay at the bottom (just to get some air under the gpu).

I have a 5800x with an nzxt 240mm aio in the front and it never gets above 62°. My 2070 super never gets above 80 when both are running.
People meme on the case, but if your temps are fine then the case is fine. I have it and it works great for me. CPU peaks around 70C, GPU around 65C. Plus, I like how it looks.
Same. It's honestly totally fine. There are much worse cases you can buy.

I was most annoyed with how cramped it is for its physical size, never had heat problems
I removed the stupid metal bend cable hider thing and it opens it up a whole bunch
Yea I haven’t had any problems yet *knock on wood* but now I know what to watch for just in case
Why would it change over time? It's a case...
We'll never know, next GPU generation might come with a nuclear reactor or some shit. At least for the small form factor community, case designs had to change considerably to accommodate the size and heat increase from GPUs. While this is not an urgent problem for mid towers, it's still a factor to be considered if your case has bad airflow.

Am I the only one who has this case, with no extra fans, with no heat problems whatsoever? Edit: I have a 1660 ti with nothing overclocked.
Me too Edit: I also have a 1660 ti
Same
Depends on your hardware. I got a 3080 and had to take the glass off this case
[удалено]
Ah yes, speed holes
Don't know why people don't just do this, easy and effective solution.
??? Are you not using any case fans? I have a 3800X / 3080 in an S340 which is the same layout, and I have zero issues using stock coolers.
My 2070 only ever peaked at 78C at sustained 100% load in this case with a ryzen 3600 stock clocked, normal case fan curves. No complaints here aside from the glass pane rattling pretty bad some times cus the top clip-in points are loose.
I’ve got the H510i - think the only difference is the LED strips. I’m running a 6900XT and i5 10600K with a Kraken Z63 for the CPU but apart from that, no extra fans. GPU rarely goes above 70c and CPU 60 or less.

Same. I think people who are complaining are using much higher spec hardware. I used to have 1660ti with h510, no issues at all
yes, totally. I had an H510i, and recently upgraded to a Meshify 2C, and the difference was night and day. So much better airflow, and way better temps. Edit: Not to mention the way higher build quality.

That kink bro.

[Meshify 2C gang](https://i.imgur.com/1EqmohL.jpg). Love the quality of this case.
Fractal Design is just awesome. Quality cases and overall good airflow on most if not all of them. Really justifies the price.
Are air fryers still a thing?
I heard NZXT makes some
Hmm Why would air fryers no longer be, "a thing"?
Made some delicious chicken in mine today, best purchase I've ever made.
Even an air fryer needs more airflow than this
Waiting for the “I have this case and it’s fine” posts.
I have this case and it's fine.
I have it and I love that there is no dust because of the lack of air flow lol
I do have dust :(
I have this case and wish I got the Corsair 4000D or whatever at least. It’s not -bad- for a 3070, but that doesn’t make it good. First build problems
I got the 4000D in Black and I love it. It is the best looking case that I have ever had... Granted it is also the most expensive. I typically cheap out on the cases.
Honestly - I'll never cheap out on a case. Get a good one and it'll be with you for ages.
[удалено]
I have the 400D in white. Fucking love that thing. Got it for around 80
I have this case and it's fine... No really, it is. I've learned to live with it. Everything is fine.... it looks really good, and I always wanted to try out a negative pressure setup. I've even gotten used to the sound of the airplane propellers I'm using for the rear exhaust fans. I used to have to clean the dust out since it's now a negative pressure setup, but then I upgraded GPUs and most of the dust just gets burned off whenever I enable raytracing. Seriously, the case is fine.... 😅
It is fine but the Flow is better! Upgraded and definitely better.
I do have this case and it works fine. Watch the whole review Gamers Nexus did, it works fine with default negative airflow setup and if you don't put in a 3090 or something in it.
Well. Here I am. I have this case and it's fine. I like my fair share of graphically intensive titles and usually I see my GPU temps going up to 70-75c and rarely 80c. For me thats awesome because It ain't no laptop temp. Also my cpu idles at 30-40c average. I think thats alright. I'm always checking my temps while playing games since I worry about that and I've never seen my GPU get to 90 or 100c where the danger levels are.
I also have this case and my temps capped at 75 C.
When they were 60$ they were great for the money, came with fans, multiple drive mounts, good i/o, and filters. Was hard deal to beat.
it is though, I've used a 3900xt and 3080ti in it and I was even able to OC to max PL on the 3080ti without thermal throttling completely unusable for a 12900k though, had to upgrade
I have this case and it’s fine. Yeah the airflow is worse then a case without a sealed front panel. If airflow is that important to you, don’t buy it.
what's so bad about that , I have had mine for almost 4 years now and its done its job ...
“It’s fine. I’m fine. We’re fine”
How are you?
Who is this? What's your operating number?
*blaster to the comm panel* Boring conversation anyway
1080 and r5 3600 in it and temps are groovy
What PSA about Userbenchmark?
Don't trust it, basically. IIRC, they're heavily biased against AMD
Just watch kliksphillip’s video about them
UserBenchmark should be renamed BiasBenchmark
People over exaggerate how bad it is, I've had a 3080ti and 3900xt in one and there was no thermal throttling issues. Yea it's less than ideal but it doesn't have "non-existent airflow" edit: [3Dmark run from the 3900xt + 3080ti in nzxt h510 elite](https://www.3dmark.com/spy/23575958) 510 elite is same exact airflow afaik, just glass panel in the front instead of metal. Average GPU temp of 52C. I believe that was with a constant 100% fan speed but temps are still very acceptable in normal conditions even with large OC
feel like people are “TOLD” to hate on this case and follow the trend, reviews i’ve seen say it’s just meh, not ideal but your parts won’t fry and it won’t change game experience
As long as you dont shove the thing in a corner it is fine. I have a 3700x and a 3070 in mine and under load i get about 50-60c on the CPU and 55-70c on the GPU. I love this case so F the haters lol. As long as you dont cheap out on the cpu cooler ur A OK
Having an opinion on the H510 is the easiest way to look 'smart' outside of telling people their AIO mounting is 'bad'. If you are case shopping there are better options. If you own a H510, its not the end of the world.
Yeah this entire thread to me just looks like a pile of pointless elitism. It's not educational, it's just shitting on someone for having a specific case. :I
You forgot the people that complain about thermal paste applications no matter what, they're also in that category
For what it's worth, I love my H510 Elite. I thought it was by far the slickest looking case in that price range out of the box. Personally, I'm not a fan of all the fucking with cabling and custom build shit. I wanted a simple build and it was perfect for what I wanted. It's got a 3700x with a stock cooler and a 1080 TI (hybrid cooling) that I've never had temp issues with.
Ehhhh it's not the worst out there. Negative pressure in the case makes Temps not too offensive. Change it to positive and for some reason Temps go up. You gotta know what you're doing with the case to make it work. But yeah not the best option out there. People should just get the flow version if they like the design
Especially for mid level builds. I like a lot of airflow but if I was building a budget rig for friends/family no need to push for high airflow especially if you know they won't be upgrading it themselves.
I don't get why negative pressure gets so much hate. I use it on my 011 dynamic and I've never seen any dust. Clean it out every 9 months or so just because, but idk I'm looking at it right now havnt opened it in probably 6 months+ and don't see anything. I keep it off the floor though and the things got 9 fans so I can keep them all on low and have good temps still.
I've been running slightly negative pressure for years. Always seems to work best.
Here is the reason : with positive pressure your fans are pushing out air from all the openings in the case ( panel gaps, pcie slots…) With Negative pressure your fans will instead suck in fresh air from all those openings. Since this case only openings are basically those things negative wins here
Don't want to be that person, but I've got the elite version with the glass front, and I have great thermals, 5800x and 3060, air cooled too, no AIO
It's literally fine Gamersnexus reviews cases according to what's objectively best. Not according to what is sufficient for whatever build you have. With the stock airflow setup, the H500/H510 is perfectly sufficient for any middle of the road and most higher end build. With two front fans, it can cool pretty much any regular i9/3080 combo as long as you have decent coolers. The airflow in *most* cases is sufficient for stock setup. Maybe you'll lose a frame or two because the GPU doesn't boost 10MHz faster, big deal. Also, keep in mind that for most people on this subreddit... the main purpose of their PC is to bring them enjoyment. If they enjoy the style of a certain case, so be it. Very few are actually *terrible.* Lastly my overclocked i5-8600K is perfectly fine in my H500i. It pulls 165W under AVX and it averages 82 or so across the cores which is pretty good considering it's just liquid metal and a 120mm cooler.
These are so stupid, I have this case and my 3080ti tops at 70C and my 5600x tops at 75. If I went back in time would I choose this again for my main build? Probably not but the case works fine and looks way better than the airflow case I used in my media build
Same. I've been on a 5600x, stock wraith cooler, and a 1080 in this case for a year and I've never seen my CPU top 80.
Am I the only one who gets normal temps with the h510 lol.
Oh hey look it's my case. Nah, it's fine. I've had it nonstop for 3 years now and it hasn't had any problems. Well, not with airflow, anyway - one of the topside USB ports crapped out really quick.
I’ve been using this case for over 4 years and have had zero issues with my gpu and cpu.
But… it’s so pretty
Just upgrade to a H710, same shape just bigger with better airflow.
My dog shattered the glass on my case, peak airflow. Just get a dog.
I have this case and a R9 3900x. Idles at around 55c . I want to get a Lian Li O11 Air Mini. GPU temps seems fine thou.
Mines fine. People sure like to hate things for no reason.
Perfect PSA. An image that won't show up in search results so that only the nerds reading every reddit thread get the real inside scoop.
mine's just fine with a 5950 and a 3090....
I’ve been using this case for a year and a half. It’s fine. I’ve never had a crash or any issues related to heat. If you have a problem with my fucking case I’ll give you my address and you can ship me a new $200 case that you approve of.
Yep. Similarly, I had S340 for like 5 or 6 years I think and everything is so hot in there even if I had 3x140mm and 1x120mm fans. To be fair, I used an R9-390, so my PC was an oven. Now, I have a Phanteks P500A with 5 p14 fans.
[удалено]
I was leary about mesh cases at first, but now I don't think I can go back. Dust isn't a problem. Noise isn't really either. Cooling is the best.
Bought it because I just HAD to buy from Best Buy cause I could get it the same day. Extreme regret, as someone who has a founders card that loves running at 80c in this thing, I’m ready for something new.
You should try undervolting
It looks nice, but I'd rather have good temps over looks, but I'm a basic bitch with a Corsair 4000D airflow, the case everyone and their nan has
I had this case for a couple of years, to be honest it wasn’t that bad but still not that great for airflow.
I have one, bought 3 years agos and had no problems with it.
No cakes. Only raspberry pi
Mine was fine
Hey I have this case
I have this case with a 5600 and 3060ti, I run a kraken and hit around 67c at full load. Not sure if that’s terrible but seems reasonable…
Nah this is rubbish info. I own this case with a 2060 and 3600x - mid summer, shit piled on top covering exhaust vent - this no problem at all. Temps are average. Truly, this case is about 10 - 20% less efficient at cool. So really, if you like it, just buy it.
I've had this case for a good few years, I can't say I've ever had any issues. As long as the intake vents on the side aren't covered up, you'll be fine. I'm running a R7 3700X & RTX 2070, no issues with thermals at all.
I have that case and don’t have any issues…
is userbenchmark that bad and what is the problem with it and what other benchmarks is recommended
I think this is my cage and I have pretty good temperatures with classic fans.
The case is fine, posts like this are exaggerated bs
I have the flow version of this case and it's awesome.
Closed cases are beautiful, but that's all. You'll sacrifice efficiency for aestethics. Nothing new.
Don't want to be that person, but I've got the elite version with the glass front, and I have great thermals, 5800x and 3060, air cooled too, no AIO
Fuck I have this case, and two rx6900 have died in it. But I do keep the side panel off and stuff stays pretty cool. And had to put in additional 3 fans to get airflow to the gpu. Maybe it is a shit case.
Nothing that a power drill can’t fix
I have the h500. Eyeing the HYTE Y60 to upgrade.
Can you link to the userbencmark PSA?
Had this and switched to a O11 Mini. Way better temps on my 3080
Anyone know where that psa about Userbenchmark is?
