The NZXT H1 V2 is a decent compact case for builders who want minimal setup hassles, thanks to its included and pre-installed PSU and AIO cooler. But it’s expensive for what you get, GPU thermals aren’t great, and we had issues with the power supply on our first review unit.
Awesome review! Always good to see a company bounce back like that with an improved version that still keeps the original design ideas, just better. Will add this to the short-list of future ITX build ideas.
I've watched your vids for years when looking for inspiration behind my builds and somehow I've never subscribed but today was the day! Your videos have continued to get better and your attitude has always brought me a clear exciting description of what I'm looking into!

@@diecubo I will say depend on what you are after! V2 got better Gpu clearance and thermal but it’s bigger. So I will say if you are after a smaller case with midrange build, V1 is still a viable solution
@@diecubo just so you know, V1 can fit up to RTX 3090, but you have to choose the model carefully. Founders Edition and Asus TUF model will fit last I remember
@@diecubo for reference my build is a 6700xt(gaming x, dual fan, not trio) and 3700x. Gpu temps get fairly high so I run a slight undervolt/underclock and I have modified my case with custom 3d printed brackets I designed to have 2x 140mm fans as rear exhaust and I am planning to fit a 280mm rad and custom loop down the line. But before I had a 5700xt red devil in the stock case and it was running nicely even at stock settings on the gpu. Cpu I run at 1.2v 4.2ghz all core fixed clock with max temps around 72C. So depends what you are planning to build around. If they're going for £/$200 now then imo that's a good deal with all the kit inside and pre routed wiring. I wouldn't do it with anything higher than 6700xt/3070ti though imo or you will need a decent bit of modding to get nice temps. I think most AMD CPUs will be ok up to 5900x, 12 gen intel I guess i7 max.
@@skytreegirl6929 Yes I watched the video. If you understood what I wrote, I was talking about why I WAS second guessing it. Now that they made a newer version I don’t have to worry about the fire problem
I’ve wanted one of these for quite a while with a 3070…but with GPU prices, there is absolutely no way I will ever willingly buy a gaming PC. Very nice looking case
I mean...if you know what you are doing you can land a full system for about what you would pay for MSRP parts. You just aren't looking hard enough, and the way I know is you seem to be missing the decrease in GPU prices that has been occuring. It's slow, but I've seen 100-200 shaved off some cards in the NVIDIA lineup. Of course the best way to get cards still seems to be in bundles of some sort, but for some people that's not appealing. I'm personally quite happy that I landed a 3080 FE FHR build, the GPU cost be 799, and thanks to the black friday coupon all the other parts were close to what I would have paid had I bought them off Newegg or Amazon.
Just get a GTX 1080, 2060 super or a RTX 3060... They are all affordable now. Each can handle 1080p, 60fps handily in all but the most demanding games.
I have an rtx 3070, I had to sell part of my soul buying a prebuild summer of last year that I clearly obviously overpaid to get. The H1 V2 is my current end game case and I am going to probably get one soon so I can build my first custom pc. Just 1k and I can finally get a pc that doesn't a really sad motherboard/weak power supply. I might get a gtx 1650 or rtx 3050 to put in the old pc so then I can sell it to someone else for a reasonable price to partially fund the new build. The power supply is better equipped to handle that so that should work out better for whoever gets it.
My first question is, how much do you spend on your phone? Id rather have a shit phone and a Gaming pc than an S tier phone. A phone is just a phone but a pc you can do all sorts of stuff on.
So happy. I love the design but the first gen was just a little too limited with it's PSU and GPU size limit. This is definitely going to be my next build.
@@chltmdwp Where are you getting those calculations? And why are you so desperate to make 650w seem like enough for any build when clearly it isn't? If you have a high end CPU paired with a high end GPU, you would be well up to the limit of what a 650w psu can do efficiently, that's not even worrying about the fact next gen CPU's and GPU's are around the corner and expected to use more. I'm sorry if you bought the last gen model, or a 650w psu, and feel the need to defend your purchase, but you don't need to act like a teenager with an xbox. It's okay that it's not for everyone. I would not have been willing to buy a 650w based part build knowing full well that it would limit my upgrade choices, and have me running the PSU at redline with my 3080 ti and 12900. And I'm going to go ahead and assume you're an american, given you're so oblivious of the world outside of the USA. My monthly power bill is triple what it used to be. So yeah, keeping my PC in the 80plus gold zone is among the things I'm very keen to do.
@@welshmouse there are website that calculate what kind of power supply unit you need for your build before you even buy them. It also tells you yearly bill. Don't always trust the manufacturer's recommendations. Do your own research. This is important because it saves you money and time trying to swap out PSU in H1 that you don't need. And this is perfectly safe and not limiting anything. If the electricity bill is so high, maybe sticking with a console sounds like better choice or play sports 🤷♂️
I like the updates, but the CAM software is a killer. The original did not require any software to run the fans. I wonder if the cables are long enough to bypass the NZXT controller and connect them directly to the motherboard.
@@ryanbigbabykinlawbrisbin753 Currently.......none lol. I'm getting an i5 13600k w integrated, and hopefully when the rx 7900 releases I can snatch one of those up!!

dear dimitri, unless your case had an issue, that is not the pump noise (which is there, though) but it’s the psu fan which is always on. Ive found that now that i’ve installed my h1 v2 and now i don’t know if i’d rather change the psu or send back the case. v1 had a perfectly fine zero-noise psu and nzxt had to ruin it…
One year ago, but... ..., what do yo did it? I think you could change fan (Noctua is my favourite). Actually, I have a tower, a Be Quiet! Silent Case 800 (2 fan on front, other rear (I changed with a Noctua and, the original Be Quiet, under), 2 Noctua on top), for CPU (AMD Ryzen 1800X with overclock), Noctua NH-D15 Chroma Black, the GPU is a Gygabyte Nvidia GTX 1060 6Gb OC..., zero noise, that it´s I´m looking for a ITX case now, I think NZXT H1 V2 could to go fine for me...
@@joseluiscastillosanchez611 hello, was an absolute waste of my time i still regret, i returned it and kept h1 v1. An absolutely beautiful and perfectly good case, 100% ruined by aio pump forced to be 100% all the time and noisy psu fan which you can’t swap cause it’s in the psu, you can swap psu of course, but it’s expensive and tedious. Would’ve been a great case otherwise but i guess nzxt is just stupid, there’s no other explanation for such poor choices.
Necroing thread, what were the dimensions of Thickness, and length of the graphics card you installed? Note: Bestbuy had these for $200; For sound: Changing 92mm and CPU fan to Noctua Chormomax, Changing the Corsair Plat 750 for a quiet fan. I just got the mod but have not yet installed to the chassis a front or back duel 140mm mount. Quiet cool, and small...but size GPU?
They could've done those changes without adding that much size. But I get it, for convenience and easy access this is great. It still has a small footprint on the desk anyway. That fan controller is a smart addition and the GPU side exhaust fan should've been there in the original version. If I need to upgrade my system in the future I'll be getting this case for sure. Old one can have lesser hardware and my wife can have it. :)
Hey Dimitry, great review as always. I just have one problem: why use the 9600k and 2060 super in 2022? I think it would be better to use at least 12700k/5900x and Rtx 3070/6700xt to better represent the modern hardware and high temps for those who like to use this case(any case really) for a new build.
Because if they switch the test bench out, they can not compare any future testing with what they already have tested. They don't maximize the specs as it's not a stress test.
also you cant realistically run a 12700k/5900x with only a 140mm AIO. those cpu's would be at peak temperature nearly all the time with that tiny little radiator. its for this reason that i hate this case. same as the thermaltake tower 100. it only supports 120mm aio's. with todays cpu's that just isnt nearly enough cooling power.
I'm trying to work out a build using this case - can you confirm what kind of graphics card you installed in this review? It looks like a Gigabyte Aorus RTX 3070 Ti, but the thickness of that card (70mm) is MUCH higher than the maximum clearance listed on NZXT's website (58mm). I'm wondering if I can actually get away with something thicker than NZXT suggests.
I have used the first NZXT H1 case since it originally released back in february/march 2020, and it has been an awesome little pc case rocking my 3700x/rtx3080/Gigabyte x570 i Pro wifi mobo/16gb 3200mhz cl14 ram. The only upgrade was the replacement riser cable they sent me which was gen 4. This NZXT H1 v2 case seems cool and has some nice upgrades and added features, but the psu should have been atleast 850w because going from 650w to just 750w isn't enough of a difference. This seems like a good time for some component upgrades, because I am getting that H1 v2 case as soon as it is available and I want that new AMD Ryzen 5800x3d and maybe some 32gb 3600mhz cl16 ram and a rtx3090 if I can get one.
I've recently been looking at picking up a new ITX case, and ran into the FormD T1 Reference Kit. I haven't been able to find any videos on this new version, just the classic Sandwich layout with a riser cable. I'd love to see HC's impressions of the case, and which awesome components you'd put in it!
I’m hoping for my next build to be able to use the CM NR200P Max for and ITX system. Larger desk footprint, but it comes with a 270mm AIO and a 750w gold rated PSU…
Hey Dmitry, thanks for the informative review! Is there any plan for a review for Cooler Master's NR200P MAX ver? It would be interesting to see a direct comparison with this updated H1 from NZXT. :)
Considering that it includes an AIO, fans, fan controller, a riser cable, and a 750w gold sfx psu, and all the cables for almost everything are pre routed, I really don't think that price is that bad. All you need to buy is a motherboard/cpu/ram, and then gpu and storage and you have a whole system.
140 aio is very undersized for a case this size, fans are low tier, fan controller? Mobo does that already and cam used to be bad but idk about now days but seems its not working at the moment, psu could be decent but still dealing with nzxt warranty and customer support.
Case is on sale for $199 now. Got that, a 5600g and managed to get an arc a770. Looking forward to seeing how well it works out………until I sell it for basically what I bought everything for.
@@epicmike3915 still waiting on the gpu to come in. I ran it for a bit through the 5600g that’s in it and I couldn’t hear a thing running 3d mark or MW2. I’m also not holding a microphone inches away from the pump or fans. Just sitting on a desk.
Hello! I'm not really a gamer but a professional photographer and video editor, so I'm interested in your opinion on some hardware. I have a AMD RYZEN 9-5900x processor and a NZXT H1 v2 case. Could you recommend a GPU and motherboard to pair with this combination? I’m a big fan of your work and really respect your opinion.
Hey man great video as always. I was wondering what you would recommend for the aio fan for things like streaming and gaming and recording and gaming? This case is amazing and IDK if I can get it cause of the price as it is really expensive especially when my pc rn was very expensive cause of the shortages!
I regret buying the V1 now so bad, I need to sell this thing asap so I can get a V2 or just get a bigger case. Sadness. That said, that is one of the most accurate sound testing I have ever seen, that is exactly what it sounds like from that distance on camera irl.
I understand that temp tested was done with both fans at 100%? If that's the case, when turning the CPU fan around as intake, lower its speed. The 140mm fan is definitely putting more air into the case than what the 92mm can take out. With GPU load, you want a negative pressure setup in the case, and usually, CPU doesn't get very hot when gaming/GPU load scenarios. I bet temperatures will be a lot better that way. This case is VERY nice. Wish they'd offer a barebones one though. Let me pick my PSU and cooling solution, and really, most of us can do without the CAM controller.
This explains why Best Buy was selling the (older) H1 for cheap! I picked up one for $149 and it turns out my gpu wont fit! Just kept it since it was dirt cheap and it can be for a pc I’d sell one day
"Disaster" is probably an overstatement. I have the "v1" and very pleased with it and i fit the a 3090. Really good upgrades and certainly I would consider "upgrading" namely because of the PSU as im running near limit. Downside.. slightly larger footprint..
@@Plkj absolutely, that's why I'll have a second look at overall pricing when this becomes available in my country, because even assembling case and parts is a real hassle which the H1 v2 solves fairly elegantly.
To all H1 owners, replacing the radior fan is the best investment you will ever make. Artic 140mm is the best fan ever, way better than Noctua fan. So much quieter even at 100% fan speed and really cools your PC down.
I have a Define 7 um white with TG but really want to move to a mini ITX case. But.... Have a problem 😅, XFX 6800 Merc 319. Its a freacking big GPU. Dont know what to choose.
Difference between V1 and V2? Well, at least you won't burn your house down! Congrats on that bare minimum NZXT! Joking aside, the way NZXT handled the whole process of the H1 leading up to the recall kind of soured me on the brand.
I'll choose NR200P Max over this anyday. Better PSU .. Better AIO Better Thermals (ofcourse) and better price ofcourse you should see this coming from a mile away
Dude, I just ordered NZXT H1 prebuild which hasn't arrived yet. It seems like the V1 case. Can someone tell me if the V1 prebuild going to have the fire issue? My friend told me it only happens if you custom build it rather than prebuild.
I am sure they studied the idea but I wonder if a slim turbine-style blower fan, like in laptops, placed at the top of the case would be better than a traditional one to exhaust the heat out.
At 400 dollars I would just go for sliger sv590 v2. You can also buy a gen4 riser for it and supports an 360m radiator. When you put the gen 4 and of their provided liquid coolers it still costs less than this
Based on comments of those who bought this case, this v2 doesn't have a good PSU and ppl recommend to replace it this with a good one. But for me it still looks good.
I'm glad that this case got a redesign, definitely one of my favorite looking itx cases, I'm also glad they sacrificed a bit of size for better thermals and bigger hardware accomodation
Came for the incredible case review. Stayed for the chunky beef
The NZXT H1 V2 is a decent compact case for builders who want minimal setup hassles, thanks to its included and pre-installed PSU and AIO cooler. But it’s expensive for what you get, GPU thermals aren’t great, and we had issues with the power supply on our first review unit.

The NR200P MAX actually comes with 280mm AIO & 850W Gold SFX PSU, the problem of it is it's always sold out whenever there's stock
@@haoyuchi2034 I must’ve fat fingered the 280…. I thought it had a 750…. Nice to know it can handle more than I thought. Thank you for corrections!
Will it catch fire again ?
Nice video on the refresh, just curious howd this compare to the nr200p max
That explains the price drop on H1. Clearing stock.
Almost regret buying the meshilicious a few days ago.
Thanks for your honesty on deliberately prolonging the video. 😂
Hey Dmitry, thanks for the informative review! Is there any plan for a review for Cooler Master's NR200P MAX ver?
It would be interesting to see a direct comparison with this updated H1 from NZXT. :)
Considering that it includes an AIO, fans, fan controller, a riser cable, and a 750w gold sfx psu, and all the cables for almost everything are pre routed, I really don't think that price is that bad. All you need to buy is a motherboard/cpu/ram, and then gpu and storage and you have a whole system.
140 aio is very undersized for a case this size, fans are low tier, fan controller? Mobo does that already and cam used to be bad but idk about now days but seems its not working at the moment, psu could be decent but still dealing with nzxt warranty and customer support.
What graphics card was used? I have an xfx qick rx 6700 xt and wanted to know if it would fit in this case as it looks great.
They were selling the v1 for $150. That was a heck of a deal
Its been a while to see dmitry with case review..2021 case award please...😆
I moded the v1 with the 90mm aio... just cut an opening with a dremmel and yes it does help the temps
Would you choose this over the NR200P MAX? THX
Case is on sale for $199 now. Got that, a 5600g and managed to get an arc a770. Looking forward to seeing how well it works out………until I sell it for basically what I bought everything for.
holy shit 199 does it include the psu
@@cat-.- psu and aio. Got everything but the gpu in today. Prettty easy to put together!
@@84jdgregory That pump noise sounded horrible on the video. Is it really that bad? I'm thinking between this and the nr200
@@epicmike3915 still waiting on the gpu to come in. I ran it for a bit through the 5600g that’s in it and I couldn’t hear a thing running 3d mark or MW2. I’m also not holding a microphone inches away from the pump or fans. Just sitting on a desk.
@Josh Gregory fair enough. Most people just do that. My cpu is 7600x I'm not sure it if this cooler is a good idea lol.
Hello! I'm not really a gamer but a professional photographer and video editor, so I'm interested in your opinion on some hardware.
I have a AMD RYZEN 9-5900x processor and a NZXT H1 v2 case. Could you recommend a GPU and motherboard to pair with this combination?
I’m a big fan of your work and really respect your opinion.
Hey man great video as always. I was wondering what you would recommend for the aio fan for things like streaming and gaming and recording and gaming? This case is amazing and IDK if I can get it cause of the price as it is really expensive especially when my pc rn was very expensive cause of the shortages!
I regret buying the V1 now so bad, I need to sell this thing asap so I can get a V2 or just get a bigger case. Sadness.
That said, that is one of the most accurate sound testing I have ever seen, that is exactly what it sounds like from that distance on camera irl.
I understand that temp tested was done with both fans at 100%? If that's the case, when turning the CPU fan around as intake, lower its speed. The 140mm fan is definitely putting more air into the case than what the 92mm can take out. With GPU load, you want a negative pressure setup in the case, and usually, CPU doesn't get very hot when gaming/GPU load scenarios. I bet temperatures will be a lot better that way.
This case is VERY nice. Wish they'd offer a barebones one though. Let me pick my PSU and cooling solution, and really, most of us can do without the CAM controller.
Is CAM any better now? Is this case still that noisy?
This explains why Best Buy was selling the (older) H1 for cheap! I picked up one for $149 and it turns out my gpu wont fit! Just kept it since it was dirt cheap and it can be for a pc I’d sell one day
Will there be any issues with a i7 12700F and a RTX 3070? Im considering buying a prebuilt pc with those specs.
That size might make this one a good NAS server 'puter. Speaking of which, have you done a "how to make a cheap server" video?
SFF should be the new norm. Huge tower cases like the Haf 932 should be left in the early 2010s.
i too am jealous of those with a microcenter
"Disaster" is probably an overstatement. I have the "v1" and very pleased with it and i fit the a 3090. Really good upgrades and certainly I would consider "upgrading" namely because of the PSU as im running near limit. Downside.. slightly larger footprint..
"Disaster" in the sense of "being at risk causing a fire" is clearly not an overstatement.
Hmmm. Interesting product, fixed the "fiery" issues, but overall price is high versus meshlicious, even though everything is in place already.
It comes with accesories and an aio cooler
@@Plkj absolutely, that's why I'll have a second look at overall pricing when this becomes available in my country, because even assembling case and parts is a real hassle which the H1 v2 solves fairly elegantly.
To all H1 owners, replacing the radior fan is the best investment you will ever make. Artic 140mm is the best fan ever, way better than Noctua fan. So much quieter even at 100% fan speed and really cools your PC down.
Idk if I trust NZXT cases enough yet. There are just so many better options.
Excellent redesign. This one is a real winner by NZXT.
I still dont get why theres is glass in this case. To look where? To cables? to the back of the GPU that we cant see?
Yeah … I don’t like the TG either. Would love a solid panel or something with cool ventilation texture.
-D.
I have a Define 7 um white with TG but really want to move to a mini ITX case. But.... Have a problem 😅, XFX 6800 Merc 319. Its a freacking big GPU. Dont know what to choose.
Love how Dmitry always believes I'm a good person.
Difference between V1 and V2? Well, at least you won't burn your house down! Congrats on that bare minimum NZXT!
Joking aside, the way NZXT handled the whole process of the H1 leading up to the recall kind of soured me on the brand.
I would buy this. This is really how it should have launched.
Do buy an underwear and put it on ur face for protection 😆 🤣
Nice redesign!!
Oh my god finaly. I was not buying the h1 in hopes they would revamp it.
I just love NZXT Cases.
Would the AIO be able to handle 12th gen Intel? Specifically 12700 or 12900?
I wish they made an all mesh version, and I think that 4000rpm pump thing is a glitch or a defective AIO
With the V1 they would send you a back panel to replace the glass one on request
Love it. Thank you.
Hi Bro, i too am jealous of those with a microcenter :)
I love your video quality can you tell me how to shoot video like you bro please👍👌
REALY INSPIRED!
I'll choose NR200P Max over this anyday.
Better PSU ..
Better AIO
Better Thermals (ofcourse)
and better price ofcourse you should see this coming from a mile away
This case is incredible
So.... if i have an h1 2019 version now.. i should be able to just upgrade cases right?
Would you recommend running an FE edition gpu for this case?
Damn. Thanks for the review. My credit card balance is about to go up… 😭
is this ur new fridge
Got the case for 100 usd. Feels like a good buy imo
As I started to watch I realized this will be ridiculously expensive, I was not disappointed.
best intro ever
Ah yes
Why is it so entertaining to watch vids about itx cases, even tho you use only towers?
Glad to see NZXT step up and do what's right. Even if it took prodding....
Gamers Nexus thanks for holding manufactures accountable.
Is the included AiO enough for a i9 12900k?
How did they not called it H2?
Still looking forward Corsair One case
did you review the anidess crytal cube?
Dude, I just ordered NZXT H1 prebuild which hasn't arrived yet. It seems like the V1 case. Can someone tell me if the V1 prebuild going to have the fire issue? My friend told me it only happens if you custom build it rather than prebuild.
Does it also come with the motherboard psu and cooler?
I am genuinely looking forward to Nexus reviewing this again HAHA
I can't wait for GamersNexus' review if ever they will do it again.
Uk needs micro center
Maybe in a year or two I'll get this. Love Itx forms...but sheesh that's expensive
I am sure they studied the idea but I wonder if a slim turbine-style blower fan, like in laptops, placed at the top of the case would be better than a traditional one to exhaust the heat out.
At 400 dollars I would just go for sliger sv590 v2. You can also buy a gen4 riser for it and supports an 360m radiator. When you put the gen 4 and of their provided liquid coolers it still costs less than this
No it doesn't, Sliger with 360mm AIO (no fans) and PCIE Gen 4 upgrade is $403... And then you don't have a PSU like the H1 has
Based on comments of those who bought this case, this v2 doesn't have a good PSU and ppl recommend to replace it this with a good one. But for me it still looks good.
You did not satisfy the algorithm. But I got here in the end, so it's all good.
