I like how jay says 2 exhaust fans while all the added fans are intake oriented.
God damn that mod looks good. Seriously, NZXT should make this, it looks so much better than the regular case 'nothingbox'.
Same... "exhaust" lol.... But the point was made regardless of details.
I checked the comments to see if anyone else noticed the top fans were backwards. Looked like 4 intakes and 1 exhaust, all the Corsair ones were intake and the one NZXT fan was exhaust (woulda used 5 of the same). lol
@@mr.edselectronics4814 Yea, top ones are mounted the wrong way...
@@mr.edselectronics4814 +1
Same looked to see if anyone noticed the "exhaust" fans lol 😂
The end result actually looks freaking awesome, so much so that it doesn't even look custom, which is, IMO, the best kind of mod.
Totally agree ! It's even better when it looks full stock =)
This is exactly what JTC is great at...Modding and making great content. More of this please 😎
ugh... took a fine long loading moment to understand what this is. XD
@pïññed By Jayztwocent LMAO! you guys get everywhere...a bit boring now though so kindly go away thankyou
Yep. More of this, less whining please.
Just checked, out of stock!
exactly love the simple mods :D
Metalworking tips
- You can use Deburring Tool to smooth the cut and clean it (some sanding paper also does the trick but needs more work and creates dust that needs cleaning)
Optional:
-You can use Center Punches for marking screw holes for accuracy
-Photocopy the exhaust to use it as template and glue it where you want to cut (rice-paper if you want it to be semi-transparent)
and please, please always use protection gear for your eyes (at least) cause grinder discs do break and you dont want that piece end in your eye (got an one eye pirate-look-like colleague that is not a very happy guy anymore)
13:12 Tech Tip: Turn those fans around for exhaust!
On the other hand... That was actually positive pressure! XD
noticed that as well... "he shows top grill" and the fans are clearly the wrong way if they should push air out...
@@sirmyself "Under pressure! Pushing down on me...." But hey, as long as it's positive, it's usually good... Looks at lab results being positive... Wel fudge. >__
This is exactly what I love to see. I love seeing the modding stuff. Would love to see more of this stuff and tutorials on different kinds of modding.
“I wanted a reason to cut a case and this seemed like a good idea”… Like 👍🏻
Love modding vids and build offs!
I presume the above are scam attempts so I’ve reported them.
@pïññed By Jayztwocent Reported AGAIN. Good old TH-cam, too busy kicking all the REAL news channels off their platform to deal with the plague of scammers, bots and shills.
Thanks for listening to one of my suggestions!! I LOVE technique breakdowns!!!! Will watch these in full, 110% of the time.
I appreciate the service that Steve provides, but I love the entertainment that Jay and the boys provide.
It's the big three for me when it comes to international tech tubers.
LTT
GN
J2C
The three tech tubers i need and love for over a decade now.
For the Germans it's only Igorslab. Best German tech tuber. Basically like Steve but as a one man army with huuuuge contacts deep into the Chinese manufacture side.
you mean jay act like a dufus and Phil laugh hysterically like it's the funniest thing he's ever seen?
I really wish I had found this video before did not know about these vents. I am sitting down looking at these at amazon and making some plans for some modding. Thank you
I really like the look of this mod. I have this case for my PC and it does fine for my use, but when its time to upgrade I am 100% gonna buy these and do a nice paint job on my case. Thanks for this one Jay.
@@tspawn35 top looks funky because of the off center power button
Good luck already out of stock 🤣
This mod looks really good, it adds a nice touch to the case in addition to the airflow.
Would like to see more cheap/easy mods or ways to customize your PC
"they are only a two day delivery, like if I was to order one right now they'd be here in two days."
Thanks for clearing that up for me lol
So cool that i have this NZXT H510 case for my 1st build. It has so many great reviews on Amazon, that I didn't initially know about the airflow issue. I wanted to exchange it for the better airflow upgraded ones, but I've already disposed of the box....which I normally never do!! I also have a DeWalt cutting wheel. I thought about this type of mod, but hadn't researched grills to use in the cutouts. Plus the idea of cutting into a brand new case for my 1st build seemed like a bad one. Thanks for making this video just for ME!!
Great to see more case modding content
Agreed! This is my favorite kind of content.
i got 2 of them and they are now installed on my H510 ... Amazing fit. Great airflow.
They sold out the next day. Of course they would... JTC approved!!!!!
Thank you
AC Infinity sells some really nice covers - The only issue is that depending on what country you live in Amazon charges almost nothing or wants an arm and a leg.
I'm from Brazil, and I'm at the "an arm and a leg" gang... I saw the product and legit wanted one of their plates+fan+controller combo for my HTPC cabinet :(
Chose the Airplate S7, tried their website, and boom, 97USD shipping for a 40USD product.
Amazon charges me $70 for shipping AND import duties, which is still a hefty cost, but probably worth it given that it's a product that doesn't exist in the domestic market (and their fans are tuned for 5V, which means I can power them from the USB port in my HTPC)
This is great, because just 2 weeks ago I got fed up running my case without the front and top panels (did so for alsmost 2 yrs now)
I'm gonna order some stuff and then break out the angle grinder!
Good jerb, I always like your modding and troubleshooting content the best.
I like this content! I always enjoy watching the custom mod stuff you do because I dont have the time or attention span to actually do it myself.
@pïññed By Jayztwocent why are you impersonating JayzTwoCents? Stop trying to scam people and get a life.
So wish I would've watched this sooner! Soonest delivery date is end of January, still gonna get it. Thank you! This is exactly what the 510 needs.
Would love to see the difference this makes compared to an unmodded case with some basic temp testing between the 2 cases! Awesome work Jay
as someone who owns this case, i was thinking the same!
Gotta say tour videos have been helping me through a pretty rough patch lately , also last 2 days I've been binging rtfm up to ep 9 definitely makes the days go faster . So thank you
"Steve actually has a 67 minute video on that" - I like how Jay just assumes we know he's jabbing at Gamers Nexus.
They love each other...
No homo
When I first looked at this it had 69 likes so I didn’t hit the like but whoever did is virgin
Gotta admit. They love each other. They will take a shot at one another just for the kicks and giggles 🤣
@@RedRingOfDead That and they know eachother do good work.
Anyone have a link to his video? I cant find it lol
Case mod stuff was something I mentioned in a video when you were asking for suggestions. Appreciate it! Glad I wasn't the only one who asked.
sweet ideas, keep the mod stuff coming. You guys will be fine Jay, Phil and Nick.
Yay! Modding! Thanks for asking and listening to your community, Jay!
When you see the front of the fans 13:14 then the fans are intake and NOT exhaust right? JayZTC just had a little glitch in his matrix right?
I love things like this, please do more of these. I love the case mods and custom stuff. I did Autobody and Paint for 13 years, I'm now going into IT so this is right up my ally. Love the channel, ignore the haters, I love the car channel too.
This is cool but also hurt to watch :I
Why do u make a pc case with no airflow
The X is for crossing and the crossing is for when jay cuts the front of your cases off :)
@Ah yes, because it's important that ur PC look minimalistic rather than actually be usable
I would have bought one of your cases if they had this kind of airflow. I have NZXT fans, but went with the Corsair 4000D airflow
I bought The case mentioned in the video except in a different color I definitely would modify it a little bit
This reminds me of my old days of Casemodding.
Soldering blue LEDs to clear Enermax-Fans, creating Fanducts from Coke-bottles and sheetmetal as frontpanels.
Lovely. I appreciate all the new stuff but I miss the old times where you really HAD to do stuff to make your case look awesome.
What an awesome mod for this case, it fits so well with the theme and jay was able to do it in a blink, hopefully ge gets to do a black and white themed build there someday
Great video as always
I had planned on chopping my case up this weekend and install magnetic filters in the cut out but you just introduced me to this. I saw they have one that will support 3x120mm fans. Only 20 bucks for much more airflow!
who doesn't want a pretty good excuse to cut and case mod!??! Nice job Jay!! :D - I love NZXT cases, but they are so poor in airflow that I gave up on them
They get alot of crap but they really aren't that bad. For a 70 dollar case as long as you aren't putting super high TDP stuff then it really it isn't going to choke anything as long as you leave it as only exhaust fans.
Gamers nexus even showed un there h500 review that in comparison to other cases it wasn't that much worse or louder.
So for 70 bucks you get a case that can very easily handle say a 3060 and a i5 or R5 cpu that still looks very modern and sleek.
I know this because the PC I built for my GF has a bare bones EVGA 3060 and a 3600 with a stock cooler and her temps are great.
btw Jay, looking this grid, I right away thought... man this looks like something he could incorporate on the Rebel build, but a stormtrooper build with those would be NICE!
Love a good airflow mod. My first PC had a glass front panel with inch gap for airflow on the side. Temps were crap. Took a heat gun, removed the glass and glued a mesh to the front. Easy fix.
"Steve actually has a 67 minute video on that" I see Steve is back to making short videos then.
Love these modding videos. Not as extreme as the star wars builds. Simple enough mods for the average person
I love watching the advanced stuff but this kind of thing is great too.
13:08 but Jay, are you sure about that? looks like they are intake too
Nice! I just bought two of these for a future project. The link provided showed unavailable but I found some at another seller. Low inventory so act quick! Thank you Jay!
THANKYOU. Seriously I got all kinds of criticsm because I was creating "negative pressure" because I had "to many" input vs. output fans. I told them, NO, morons you can alter fan speed to achieve the airflow you want. Thanks for backing me up :). Oh, a simple pin router is SO much better for cutting light metal. Just make sure to pop for the cobalt bit. ;)
Just did this mod yesterday using the white grills. I was able to get a 240mm Kraken x53 rad on the top of the case by removing the LED strip that goes across the top and placing the grill off center where the rad cleared the memory modules and heatsinks for the VRMs on the MOBO. As long as you dont mind the rad being held in place by 4 screws on one of the fan mounts it works
Have a small doubt. Someone please answer. I have a 660 watt ups. If I use an 850 watt psu(the pc will be consuming around 600-640 watt at maximum), will it affect my pc components or the ups?
No it won't your pc only pulls the wattage it needs directly from the wall that includes the ups if it can already handle your current wattage
@@bennionotieno so it is safe right? Thanks for your answer
@@47ARENA yeah definitely safe, you're welcome
I did basically the same thing with my Inwin 301. Instead of a dremel I used a 4 1/2 inch hole saw with an auger to cut two nice holes for 120mm fans in front. Airflow is great now!
when the companies cant make good cases, make it good
I got a 6700xt and a 5800x in this case because it was the only case available. Temps work out ok but I have a super strange fan direction layout that gets dust inside like you wouldn't believe. Purchased one of those plus dust filters to all arrive tomorrow because I plan on upgrading to a 3080 this summer thanks to the low prices at the semi-nearby micro center.
@HI PSI Yes and it does indeed do that a little but like 95% gets caught on the edges of the front panel luckily. I'll probably change up my fan speeds to alleviate that though. I already use an air purifier so dust takes a long time to collect thankfully
Jay, fan grills are just about the easiest things to 3d print, it's extruded 2d and has no overhangs
I was thinking the same. Sadly my case has pretty good airflow and I don'y havr an excuse to make this mod
Guides and resources (printable schematics etc) for these kind of mods is top tier content.
Jay: "I was looking for some fan girls..."
Me: Wait, what?" **looks up** Oh, fan GRILLS.
Jay this is exactly what I love to see from this channel... Awesome stuff!!!!!!!!!!!
"And the top fans exhausting air."
Shows 2 fans installed as intake...
These are by far the best type of JTC videos you produce.
Am I blind or are the top fans set to intake air? They look like they're in the same orientation as the front fans.
4 intakes and one exhaust lol
Yay. I love how Jay definitely took notes from the feedback in his previous vid.
Cool! I just bought a new case to mount a top rad, wish I saw this first! Thanks J and Crew!
That was definitively a great idea for a video, a diy approach to fixing your old hardware design flaws
HOLY CRAP that is sweeeet looking. The fact that a rad could sill fit behind the front fans is awesome. The grills still fit the aesthetic design of the original case too! Warm and fuzzy feelings watching this. I REALLY liked the modification video it feels refreshing and different from other videos. The focus on watching your back cuts and measuring twice, cut once reminded me of building divider walls with my dad and planning out cable management.
Hey how about more mods to this case like - how to add discrete LED strips in the subframe corners or maybe changing the case colors with colored wrapping like they do on cars? IDK spit balling here.
This is the stuff I love to see. doing practical custom modes. Not just adding high end RGB rainbow barf to a case. Great stuff Jay. Please do more stuff like this.
Brilliant. Modding , repurposing , improving. Imagination is all you need. Top job and thank you
Case mods are always welcome, this is awesome to watch. Makes me wanna put some holes in my chassis lol
They make GREAT stuff!!! I've put a fan and controller on my Entertainment Center for cooling the consoles and on my 3D Printer rack. They're AWESOME!
Hey Jay, I made a bit to my h500. Cut the way to 360 rad in front, made a lights for bottom and also what was not as easy a made a lighing for front I\o ports. for finish made some noise reduction by foam material through out the case. It apeared to be a pretty premium and very compact case )
Really cool mod. So simple, but makes a huge difference. Adds functionality and is beginner friendly. Nice one, Jay!
10:30 ish. I've previously cut the hole slightly smaller than the fans and passed screws through the case. it's harder to mount, but when the screws tighten, the fan covers the inside mess, and the mount covers the top. I've done this with rads also
i love it quick simple to the point and helps honestly with performance potentially.
This worket out really great with that black interiour of the case, you improved the case significatly overall
Thank you for making a cheap and easy mod video, looking forward to more like these!
Old school case modding, Love it.
Think I still have a handheld metal cutter/nibbler somewhere in drawer from those early modding days, Before I got a Dremel and angle grinder.
Finally a cheap solution for that case! Looks great; awesome content!
LOVE THIS STUFF MATE. This is what I was talking about. Can see how much you love it also. Keep it up mate.
Damn that looks so good. Industrial and modern. Keep it up Jay.
I have a set of those with fans and the monitor. They came with a template for cutting out whatever to mount them. My templates were actual plastic and made it a lot easier. They are of great quality 👌
I freaking love it! OG mods at it's best. KEEP IT COMING JAY....
Would love a series of fixing/modding cases.
I know you probably won't see this comment. But I hope you do!
I hope you don't ever feel discouraged making videos during times like these. Although the PC market is rough, and upgrades feel nearly impossible. Watching your videos returns a sense of normalcy to my life! It almost feels like nothing has changed. Merry Christmas Jay!
THANK YOU!! I love seeing mods like these!
NZXT H5 flow: “And I took that personally.”
Very cool! Would love more detail about how to balance fan flow please!
Case mods are definitely cool videos to make and it doesn't rely on hard to get hardware.
Awesome video Jay!! I was super excited when you announced you were doing the 31 days of Jay again and it's been awesome looking forward to the rest of the month. Thank you for a nice early Christmas present!
Just completed this Mod. I have a 20 degree drop!!!! Thanks man
This was fun!! Gives me some good ideas when modding some very old cases. I like to experiment with different fan arrangements, so I take old cases to do mods on first. There are tons of old cases out there to experiment on before actually doing something on a newer case. Good stuff Maynard!
Case modding is always fun! It actually looks pretty slick
I remember doing a similar top fan mod to an early 2000's Lian Li case using the Dremel and the circle cutting attachment. Made the cuts on my apt balcony on a Saturday afternoon and it was loud AF. I found if I slowed down the cut it was quieter (aluminum case) and I didn't have any burrs.
ive used these in the past for wall cabinets for airflow in racking intake at the bottom and exhaust out the top on in-wall av racks or small cabinets in desks or under counters in retail locations. they work great if paired with 120v ac 120mm fans
Would love to see a this build go further. Most curious about the acoustics like rattling etc. Looks freaking sick
Love this slower pace type videos. Gives a nice cozy feeling from a long day. :D
Those things are really well made, the case almost looks like it was meant to be that way. It gives off a really nice semi-industrial look too.
Cool. My plan "A" for more airflow into my NZXT case was to drive over it a few times...this is a good plan "B".
Steve would probably approve of Plan A. 😆
I love your modding videos Jay... I have a tip for you to get clean straight cuts with an angle grinder. Use a straight flat piece of steel (like 1/4 inch flatbar or angle) and clamp it on the case to use a guide /ruler.
Jay, you were asking for some feedback on your videos, and I must say this content was really amazing, I know you already have a series of modding with the Starswars build, but this was really more useful than just aesthetics, if you could do more ofthis type of modding that would be great.! keep it up! , and acctually no matter what video you upload, i just love tech so ill be watching it even if i cant buy it, lol.
WOW, it looks very nice, great job Jay
Good job Jay, looks really good. I had my doubt in the beginning of the video!
not only a good easy mod to add air flow but improve the aesthetics of the case aswell
I like your super fancy mod series', and I like videos like this with products/tips that are accessible to a modding beginner to help them get their feet wet.
Didn’t know their airflow had a flaw. Just bought the h510 case. Good to know I have this mod option. Great video
hehe remember doing this +20 years ago. cases back then didnt have any sort of real airflow or room for radiators.. fun times... great and fun video JTC team :)
Just picked up a couple of these for an Optiplex flip. These look fantastic.
Them fans look good AF in those cutouts😻
That "Why? Why not!" Mentality is why I subscribe and watch your videos. It's always fun to see!
I have this case, ordered this product. Thank you Jay!
