[Unofficial LTT] NZXT H440 Owners Club

yeppers, just fine..

 

Nice, so by looking at the case, I should tape the full height of the board to make sure I don't get screwed by static, its either do this or fork for another case.

yeah, from the right hand top, all the way down to the right hand bottom.

 

Final Question is this guys method (at about 1:51 min mark) also viable?

 

 

I just feel weird taping a 600 dollar board  :lol:

but not weird to cut up your grommets and use them as rubber bumper/spacers?

LOLs. just use the tape, we won't think any less of you for doing so.

Just bought the board home. Omg it looks so good <3. The electrical tape is thin though. One strip down the backside of the pcb is enough? I was just thinking of taping the case only so the boad doesnt touch the metal? That is what you are recommending correct?

one strip is fine, for double security and peace of mind, two won't hurt.

 

okay so does taping the case metal also work? if so i will do that.

yes it will, just easier to tape the PCB and remove from tape PCB.

 

Its just easier to tape the case metal since cleaning any residue after removing the tape is easier in a case vs the pcb :v

 

Marvelous, I will be posting pics soon

So I posted this in another thread where someone was asking for compatibility with EK's Predator 360, at the moment I've returned the cooler and took a risk with a Cooler Master Glacer 240L.

I personally need some help with airflow and fan placement. But I'll make a separate thread for that.

 

Sorry to bring up an old post, but since this was the first result on Google I thought I'd share my experience.
Bought the kit today and unfortunately it doesn't work with my setup in the nzxt H440,and unfortunately there's a couple of reasons.
Firstly there's some clearance issues with the 4 pin power connector along the top of my motherboard, an Asus X99-A, I can probably wedge even more than I did in the pictures liked below, but at that point I'm uncomfortable putting a rad that will presumably get pretty warm and possibly melt/warp the plastic protective covering (not the sleeving) of the power cables and maybe cause a short, ruining other components.
Secondly with the pump and tubing coming from the left hand side, there's some interference with the cutout of the IO shield, and light switch for the IO. Coupled with the first complication this causes the screw holes to not align properly on the top panel, you can probably get away with mounting it with 4 or 5 of the screws, put its intended to be mounted with 12 screws total anyway.
Lastly mounting the system with the pump and tubing coming from the right side means you're going to have to remove and hard drives and one of the front intake fans out of the picture. But that's not even the big problem in this orientation, the front panel top mounted IO actually interferes with this setup due to the protruding USB 3.0 connectors' cabling (the usb 2 connectors are on the outside of the chassis and therefore don't interfere), not only that but the power, reset and power indicator cables are routed near here preventing the rad/pump from being flush against the case, thus preventing the top mounting and fan holes from aligning properly.

The root if these issues in this particular case seem to lie in a few design choices from EK:

1. A super thick radiator (almost twice as thick as a corsair h55 I'm using for my gpu) which interferes with the top power connector on my motherboard and possibly many others regardless of where on the top your connector is.
While thicker is better, it just doesn't work out in this case, I'm sure it works perfectly in something larger with more clearance.
And

2. The pump being mounted beside the radiator adds even more length, making even this triple rad compatible case incompatible with this particular system due to the extra length.

To be clear neither company here is at fault I'm sure this water cooling system fits perfectly in a slightly larger case, and I'm sure the H440 is perfectly capable of fitting a 360 rad. But you'll have to settle with the smaller 240 version and pray it doesn't get in the way of the 8 pin power connector, or actually build a custom loop with standard size components.

In my particular situation I even have to order the other set of screws from EK since my Asus x99-A doesn't have holes going through the board which only cost a bit over $3USD but even shipping costs more, even from US sellers bringing up the price to $10. Which makes me wonder der why they didn't just already include them in the box, I'm already paying over $250USD,four more screws that cost them possibly less than those $3 they ask for shouldn't be too much of a problem to throw in the box. I guess for a mass produced solution it eventually adds up.
In the end I'll be returning this tomorrow and I'll have to figure out an actual custom loop instead of taking the easy way out with an AIO
Hopefully this helped anyone considering this AIO with this particular case, and sorry to have made this super long.

where i live there's only 2 option for decent led kits, nzxt sleeved led kit, and bitfenix alchemy led kit, im getting the white one, since this is my first pc... i dont hv any idea how long in terms of brightness i actually need...

 

between nzxt white led kit 1m vs nzxt white led kit 2m vs bitfenix alchemy 30cm vs bitfenix alchemy 60cm which ones do you guys recommend...?

 

btw is there anybody who uses nzxt hue on their h440?

Randomfrankp has a h440 and a video showing off the hue plus, I plan on ordering my hue+ soon.

Put white masking tape over the LED strips and painted over the LEDs with a red sharpie. Got a nice soft red glow. What do you guys think?

  • 2 weeks later...

Just waiting for my final parts before I build my H440.

 

Haven't decided on a GPU yet, but had a custom PSU cover plate made with my company logo on and also had the I/O shield painted black instead of the silver and Ram top bars painted white.

 

Hopefully all done by the end of the week.

Hi, I'm new here, I just have a question. Where can I buy a stock fan hub for NZXT H440? Because 4 sockets on my fan hub is not working. I don't have money for buying new case or the Grid+. 

Many thanks.

Hi guys,

 

I'll be building my coming rig in a H440, will be having a h100i gtx cpu cooler, my concern will be, do I mount it push or push+pull exhaust on top of the case, or should I go push+pull intake at the front ? Will be doing a single 980ti only, since the airflow is pretty restrictive on the case, would like some valuable inputs, thanks !

I just have a H110i GT with pull config at the top and my motherboard VRM heatsink is almost touching it. I don't think you can do push pull in the top. About the front, I don't know. I'd suggest save the 60 bucks and go with just pull.

I would also like to ask... To anyone with knowledge on electric part (I totally suck at this area) is there a way to add the Logysis UV Cathodes to the back led controller of the case? If is it possible may u guys give me a step by step guide? (Seriously I'm a totally fail at Electricity)
