What is NZXT h510 Build?
In the $169.99 H510 Elite, NZXT’s H-series PC cases just got a premium model with a new look, an extra portion of the glass, and more enthusiast builder credibility.
This PC case, like its precursors, features an exterior that leans towards minimalism but is set apart by tempered glass panels, one of which dramatically showcases two striking fans on the front.
NZXT offers the H510 Elite in two colour schemes (black or a combination of black and white); our review sample is in the latest colour scheme.
After spending time with this case and doing a sample build, we found it to be a beautiful and well-thought-out case for PC builders.
Aesthetics and NZXT h510 Build Quality
At first glance, NZXT’s H510 Elite may seem pure and bland if you’re used to a sculpted chassis with many curves around the inlets and base.
The exterior is primarily white, with dark-tint tempered glass front and side panels exposing the two-tone black and white interior to view.
The vibe isn’t what I’d call flashy, but the overall design looks clean and attractive. It’s also nice to see a circumstance that isn’t covered from head to toe with RGB LEDs. (It does have some lights, however; more on that later.)
The H510 Elite also feels well made. The frame and boards are SGCC steel, and the metal sides do not bend easily.
The case is also relatively light. At 16.5 pounds, it is one of the more lightweight ATX chassis I’ve worked with recently.
This may not sound important, but if your case changes, as I do during the review process, take note of every extra pound.
Internal Features and NZXT h510 Build Experience
This mounting system for the tempered glass panel works well. The glass board on the left side of the case snaps snugly into place and is held in place with a single screw.
After eliminating the screw, you need to give the panel a little tug to release it, and then it will swing down and can be left to one side.
This is important because, in too many cases, the side panel will likely fall on the floor or hit a corner of your desk and break when removed. Here, you feel like you are always in control.
Removing the side glass gives you access to the motherboard mounting tray. Everything else (drives, power supply) mounts from the other side of the case.
The lack of mess on this side of the case makes navigation easy from the motherboard into place.
(Chassis accepts ATX, Micro ATX, or Mini-ITX boards.) Using the PCI Express backplane’s two-slot-forward mounting, you can also mount your graphics card sheer in this chassis, showing it from the front behind the glass.
One pc under Glass
Although the NZXT H510 Elite looks bland when you open it up, everything changes when you power up the case with an integrated computer.
The received issue featured two 140mm NZXT Are RGB 2 fans in the front and an addressable LED strip that makes the internal components shine.
The front fans are equestrian on a removable, slide-in bracket that can accept a 240mm/280mm radiator.
(Early buyers who didn’t receive it can order the extra fan from the NZXT Customer Service team.) Third fan to provide the case with increased thermal assistance.
The light strip, in particular, stands out here as it shines down on its main components and gives the impression that its pieces display behind a jewelry counter.
And since the units (and most of their cables) are behind the right panel, the central cavity of the system looks clean and attractive.
Choosing the Best mid-Tower PC Case
You are choosing the perfect mid-tower case for your following PC build to be contingent on many factors.
Do you need USB Type-C connectors on the front; Planning to install a custom water loop cooling solution?
Want to save money, time, and pressure by choosing an easy-to-build case, popping everything in, and calling it a day?
NZXT goes all out with their fantastic H510 range of mid-tower cases. With the H510 Elite coming out as one of the best PC cases.
