NZXT H510 Flow Mid-Tower Case Review

Complete System

The NZXT H510 really feels familiar to me, it’s just a bigger version of the case I use as my daily PC case, and I’m always in there tinkering with something! Of course, where the stock H510 was Micro-ATX this is ATX, which means it stands a bit taller, making it ideal for those wanting multiple graphics cards, or other expansion cards in general.

There’s room for a good-sized CPU cooler in here, and even something larger like the Noctua NH-D15 series will fit, but only just. There’s that 120mm fan in the back, but I suppose you could use a 120mm AIO; if anyone uses AIOs that small these days.

The real benefit to airflow comes from the front panel, and while I do think only having one fan in the front is a mistake at this price range, the fact that the overall airflow is much more open means that the fan doesn’t have to work hard to get lots of cool air into your system.

This is also a good space to mount a larger AIO cooler, which would really benefit from the new Flow front panel and that new dust filter design. The removable bracket means you can install a radiator and fans, then mount the bracket back in the case, making it easy to fit all the screws, as you won’t be restricted by tighter spaces.

The top fan mount, well, I’m sure it’s useful to some, but for me, I’m more likely just to leave this as passive heat ventilation.

The build looks neat and tidy, and that’s hardly surprising given the huge PSU shroud in the bottom, hiding the bulk of excess cables. Of course, it also hides the PSU and your hard drives, leaving the front of the case free for the fun stuff. There are some cable routing holes on it, of course. There’s quite a lot of space too, so longer cards really shouldn’t be an issue.

That huge cable routing bar is sweeping through the case, something of a trademark for NZXT case interiors of the last few years. It allows you to easily pass through larger cables too.

Overall though, the cable runs are very clean, it’s a good looking build and really, if you’ve seen the interior of any NZXT case in recent years, this is pretty much what you’ve already seen. With the glass back in place, it looks super clean and tidy, and any RGB hardware you’ve installed shines through, but you won’t see much else, as the tint is a bit darker than previous models.

Overall, classic NZXT, more airflow, and that’s about the bulk of it.
