nzxt h510i

I'm probably getting this case...need some reviews from real user.. how's the experience in terms of temperature? are the fans loud? have you guys tried vertical gpu mount?

Gamer's Nexus did a thorough review of the H510 Elite, and they did not like it much. I think the general consensus is it looks pretty, but it has garbage airflow and it's expensive. And the included smart lighting controller apparently sucks.

Hey,

as @TheBahrbarian already mentioned the GN review i've made similiar experience during a time i used it for my gaming rig. Looks Pretty but backsteps you in therms of temperature. Maybe you should look at a case like the Meshify C, Coolermaster NR600 or the Corsair 220T airflow.

Generally speaking, nzxt cases are OK, but all the i-variants are very overpriced. The "smart" controller thing they add is a pointless gimmick.

 

Regarding stock vertical gpu mounts, again speaking generally, they're all bad. Not just nzxt, but literally all of them. There's just not enough room between the panel and the card to cool it properly. Exceptions include modified aftermarket vertical mounts that move the card deeper into the case, rendering every other pci-e slot unusable, and watercooled cards. I guess removing the side panel could also make it work.
