NZXT 510 airflow question

[rickschroemges]

I was wondering if the NZXT 510 has some good airflow and if its durable. Because i saw some very positive reviews about this case and also some negative ones. so i was wondering what you guys were thinking about this case.

 

Thank you for the help!

There’s plenty of better cases with significantly better airflow 

 

P400A, Meshify C, etc

It has decent airflow but it's not the best, there are far better cases for airflow at similar price points. The H510 is more of an aesthetic case

the case is very popular for its style and cost. Air flow is not a strong feature tho.

it has a top intake and some perforations on the side, they aren't enough but I think it's more of a watercooling case

its not a top intake. its an exhaust and the case is design mostly for negative pressure. It handles air and water cooling poorly equally,

For this build what would be a better case? and fans cause i want the same fans as the case for astatic. idk why

you can flip the fan and set it as intake, you're not limited by the manufacturers decisions

Don't have anything in mind right now but you can get something with a mesh front panel and get fans from the same manufacturer

Oh, well in that case I guess you're right. I personally wouldn't go with NZXT because where I live they're very overpriced

p400a, p300a, meshify c, td 500, lancool 2 mesh performance.. Also the p14 fans are better than the NZXT AER
