Airflow Question

Pondum

Does the NZXT H510 Elite have sufficient airflow to keep a i7-10700k and a 3000 series card nice and cool? I'll be using a Kraken X63 to manage the CPU temps.

Thanks

Look at the first place for the test while the front panel is removed, look toward the bottom to see stock

There are better cases out there, but if you already have it, it's probably fine, though we don't know how hot the 3000 series cards run so it's all speculation.

Well I assume a 3070 won't be much hotter than a 2080 Ti. Thanks though!

A 2080ti would generally be a bad pairing in an H510. Personally I only recommend up to about an RTX060/RX5700 (non XT) before temperatures start getting very warm and GPU's reduce boost clocks
