Hi guys

im trying to get a new gaming build put together but I can’t settle on a case. I really like the NZXT H510 case for a black and white theme, but due to all the bad reviews regarding thermals I’m reluctant to purchase it. Problem is I can’t find one that’s similar but with decent air flow. I’m only going to be running a 3600 and a 2070 super. Any help you guys can over would be great, thanks.

I have an H510 and in my opinion my thermals are fine 30-40 degrees for idle, 50-60 while having multiple tabs open while watching 4k ltt and 60-80 during gaming and stress testing. GPU temps are around 30-60. Never really reaches critical temps. NOTE: I have Ryzen 9 3900x and RTX 2060 and both are overclocked

PC specs:

Ryzen 9 3900X overclocked to 4.3-4.4 GHz

Corsair H100i platinum

32 GB Trident Z RGB 3200 MHz 14-14-14-34

RTX 2060

MSI MPG X570 Gaming Edge wifi

NZXT H510

Samsung 860 EVO 500GB

2 TB WD hard drive

Corsair RM 750 Watt

ASUS ROG PG248Q 

Razer Ornata Chroma

Razer Firefly 

Razer Deathadder 2013

Logitech G935 Wireless

What sort of cooling are you using? Did you add any fans or rads?

60 degrees on a 3900x with a 240mm was while watching a 4k video? Those are temps you should get while heavy gaming, not just browsing.
