Please give me reasons not to get H510

[Kanna]

So I need reasons for my friend not to buy NZXT H510 case he just says I can change later, but a 3070 with a 3600 can't feel good in it, like don't say the obvious one like bad airflow link a test or benchmark or article

probably one of the worst airflow cases I've ever heard of, get a 280x

[boggy77]

it has quite bad airflow.

i know this is for h500, but they are the same in terms of airflow

get the Cooler Master NR600 if he want understated look with good airflow, H510 sucks balls

Nah that's to rough

take a horizontal pic of the case and draw out airguide lines showing the limited airflow, the air entering from the front is very limited and all gets sucked to the top by the top fans, so gpu is choked, then show the fact that the top fan exhaust is for show, since the cpu cooler will suck all the air to the back, so the probably worst case ever

'Tech Jesus' reviews the H500 and H510 Elite.

The same case as the H510 (non-Elite) ...but with tempered glass front.

Yeah I know I saw that, didn't convince my friend "It's not the same case" so I'm just giving up a this point it's his PC and his overheated 3070

The cases are similar but the H510 Elite comes with additional front fans. 

What does your friend like about it? The aesthetic? The H510 isn't the best for airflow but it's far from inadequate. Here are similar examples:

What kind of features is your friend looking for?

how would the tempered glass front be better?

[thrasher_565]

what bout the Lian Li LAN2MRX LANCOOL II MESH RGB

Cooler Master MasterBox NR600

Phanteks Eclipse P300A

even the lan cool 2 would be better.

Prism S-LITE

 

im guessing they like the minaml look? or the half height tempered glass?

you can find case that have a soled front but also better air flow (wont be as good as an mesh front thow)

Idk really what he is looking for but I guess clean style and windowed side

You've tried your best to explain to him, if he doesn't want to listen and if hes adamant then he will just have to learn the hard way..

Yeah sadly it's to late let's wish a 3070 to RIP

Sadly I fell victim to this same type of scenario. 

For my son's build in Fall 2019, I did as much MSI as I could, with all the RGB. 

I got him a MSI Skeria 500X case ($250 USD). 

Had him run it for a good long time with the side panel off. 

Then we had kittens 2 months ago, and I put the side panel back on. 

He started to get black screens off and on. 

I took off the side panel again, and it is much better. 

Granted he only has a 5700XT. 

But still that case had some terrible thermals. 

 

Now I have to get him another case.

I came from H510i (same with H510 but with smart device v2) and just swapped my build to the P500a white. Granted, I do miss the cubeness, compactness and the "luxury" look if the H510i but thermals are so great in the P500a that i need to forget the H510i.
