The NZXT H500 sports a slightly confusing airflow profile. At first glance, you'd think it was a "hotbox." Our testing confirms that this is not the case (no pun intended). Let's investigate and discuss why!

Strange.
If anyone should know...
Hmm.
xD
i loled haha
Is it reliable to buy from that source, please confirm. will the windows support exist if we run into issues?
Oh dear god those fans in the background destroy my peripheral vision, lol.
Spinning fan migraine
Those are almost hypnotic to watcch.
EXACTLY what I was thinking. I actually just built a system putting an emphasis of having as little of this RGB bullshit as possible. It's an eyesore. Surprisingly, the motherboard was the hardest one to find RGB-free.
@@BroodingPsycho ur system prob look boring
@@IpadLaser Who cares, it's supposed to work.
Use smoke to show the flow, would be very valuable
Smoke can damage components. Ive seen people using ecigs to blow vapor in and while it looks cool, vapor leaves a very sticky residue.
@@alexanderchampagne3033 using a little incense to visualize intake/exhaust flow would be harmless
Alexander Champagne wator vapor doesnt leave any residue
@@crisisrogue8286 water and electronic dont work that well together..
Yes not necessarily smoke ofcourse, as it has little particles that stick everywhere, but indeed some harmless vapor without additives.
I did a similar video, showing that adding intake fans don't benefit the thermal performance in the NZXT H500 and it caused outrage.
I imagine many people follow NZXT's photo of putting AIO there as intake
@@sjneow nzxt has a cult following
ah yes, NZXT stans

Me later: depressed :(
I feel that, I just bought a H510 and noctua fans. :/
@@cesarfpv715 You can still mount your noctua fans instead of the stock ones
@@WuizGaming yeah ik, I'm going to have all 4 in there anyways even if there is little improvement.
Its not bad if you tape up the little gap above the top fan in the front!
Same
I rly hate that I saw these videos AFTER I ordered my front fans. They're on their ways unwelcomed... ; A ;
Same man
Same.. literally watched this the day after I got them
ok yes, adding or changing the fans does not help to get lower temps, but what about dust? it minimizes the dust accumulation inside the case?
hope someone reads my comment even this video was uploaded a year ago u.u

@@GregSalazar dust to dust ashes to ashes.
Just like negative mass (weight) of quantum mechanics.
i mean...can you say it's not true?
@@stonecat676 This case is entirely sealed off and the only places where are air could creep in are the intentional intakes that are filtered. You dont want negative pressure on a case thats made of plastic panels clipped to a metal frame with many spots air could creep through.
Oof that is an awesome lens
But what is the name of the lenses?
@@TheSlyfoxVI It's Sony, and a zoom lens, so I'm going to take a random guess and say it's a 16-35. It's expensive like he said.
Yeah, I'm guessing 16-35mm too. There's a few, and they start at a little over $1,000 and go over $2,000.
I love this design.
I got the all black H510 with a black Hyper 212 Evo, no lights, no RGB. It's just a black, minimalistic box.
Time flies soo fast, i remember being in the 9th grade watching your vids and now i'm finishing school and now your channel is huge. Love the Video and Audio Quality ❤️ Keep up Greg ❤️
what about now?
Agreed no noticeable temp difference when I placed intake/exhaust fans on my h500. I still left it there just for the rgb lol :P
Carl Spencer Go finally a straightforward answer in the comments
@@jasonodine you think the outcome would be the same for h510
I find videos about optimizing airflow really interesting.
That thumbnail is absolutely meme worthy
Thank you 😘
bro thats pretty cringe bro. you gonna lose subscriber bro
Wish I could’ve seen you run this with an actual AIO just so I can get an idea of the temps for both the cpu and gpu. I was thinking that an AIO would actually make gpu temps increase because it would overall make the ambient air hotter, but you recommended running the aio fans in exhaust and that made me really curious. I’m running a 2700x with a stock cooler in the H500 and I’m really debating on what kind of after market cooler I should buy. Great video!
"Put that 50 dollars towards a graphics card or a cpu " lies everyone knows that in order to have 1000 fps more in games and more power u need more rgb
Me thinking of perfectly putting 4 RGB fans in this bad boy : ಠಿヮಠ
Wait, so zoomed out, and you speak at a reasonable volume level?.. nonsensical!
i'm concerned about the GPU temperature...
same i have this pc case and the backplate of my gpu gets really hot, the ram also gets hot too
@@Jeremy-vh6iq I don't do any rendering or heavy workload editing but with an additional two intakes at the front and a 30 series card I have no Temp issues
"airflow" mechanical ENG subjects flashbacks.
Just hearing the word "flow" makes me think of... Thermal-Fluids Engineering I. *shiver* Thankfully, don't have to take the second one for my degree.
do you mean fluid dynamics and transport phenomena ?
I mostly remember it from fluid but i took 2 thermodynamics classes , one semester to go.
@@slawter1342 I think you've strayed into chemical engineering lol
Jay proved the hottest component in your system is the RGB SSD
@Calamity yeah lol
Maybe but i don't think it is the RGB thats making it so hot. Lots of MBs have heat sinks for M.2 drives now and some come with thier own heat sinks. SSDs run hot without RGB, touch any RGB thats been running for hours that doesn't have an other heat source so maybe a light strip or your case power light they probs won't even be as hot as your skin because they are so low power nowadays.
Voi Vod no it wasn’t an m.2 ssd, it was a sata 2.5” ssd
@@voivod6871 it was the rgb, it even throttled the ssd, infact when they were turned off, the ssd worked fine

Lmao I was looking for this comment
great info dude, I'll be consider it when choosing next case.
Thanks for the discounted legit Windows 10 pro key.
I would imagine having the exhaust go through the radiator on the front with an aio to be not that good. My reasoning for this is because like car radiators they use the air that is being pulled in through the fins to help cool the liquid. So if you are pushing out warm or hot air through the radiator it would make it less effective. Though I could be wrong.
yeah basically you are heating up the radiator with warm air as much as heat is being pushed out by the air itself, the actual ratio of how much you are cooling vs heating up the radiator would be important to know btu very hard to test because of the variables involved, every radiator would behave differently
how would you set up an aio up front to get the best air-flow results?
waiting for Greg to say he's giving away that Overwatch PC
I think he likes it too much to give it away 😃
I mean there’s a pc case for it
Do you think changing the stock exhaust fans with, for example, the chromax ones, would improve temps at least a little?
Lovely video, Greg! Could you do the same with Fractal's R--series cases?
if I put 240ml liquid cooling in the front for the CPU, is it better? i hope you answer me
Congratulations, you found out what gamers nexus found when this case was released
GN also talks about how negative pressure will pull air in from everywhere it can: mesh PCI brackets, PSU filter, etc. SS is acting like the front intake is the ONLY place air can enter the system.
So would it be better, worse, or make no difference if I remove the bracket that’s suppose to hold the front fans?
Good video Greg!,
Question regarding the fractal design Define C.
How do you suggest the airflow build? I have this case with 1 intake AF140 and the case fans i'm using them as exhaust: 1 rear and 1 top.
I got good temps but I want to know if there is another config to lower more the temperature :P
Cheers!
Lel, he just liked the comment and didnt respond
@@AnotherTH-camUser581 Haha thats what i thought
Having just downsized to the h200, I'd be very interested to see this test redone in that case, as intake fans are much closer to all components. Thanks Greg!
Ross Martin can you tell me if the Airflow and thermals are good for your configuration ? Beacuse I want to buy this case but I don’t know if the Airflow is good ;)
@@dawaane Hi there, I've been super happy with the h200. Thermals are great with a completely populated case of silent wings 3 120mm fans running under 1000 rpm at all times. If you Google Ryzen Phantom ITX 2019, you'll find my build on Pcpartpicker.com. Thanks
@@rossmpostpro Are the two extra fans worth it? More importantly, are the be quiet fans worth it? I was thinking of just getting some arctics that have high CFM
@@kaiserd9343 hi mate, I've only ever had all the fan positions populated so can't honestly say if it's better with or without. It was a super tight fit though with the Dark Rock Pro 4. Here's my pcpartpicker page: pcpartpicker.com/b/kc8Ycf
Thanks!
Allot of people miss the front botom intake vent with dust filtering.I love my h500, its very minimalistic, The air flow keeps my temps way down, with an air cooler cpu is at 68c gpu is 68c max. both with overclclocks.. for 65 bucks, with tempered glass... I just love this case.... plus painting the cable bar and doing some cool vinyl work or chassis painting... also great. also the front panel fans help push allot more air over the VRM's.. cheers!! love your vids bro!
Agreed my dude, i love my h500i
What if you increase the size of the 2 stock exhaust fans? (and not install the intakes).
JKeetonKnives the rear hole is only 120 mm fan support
I wish you had tried putting stronger fans in the exhaust positions and seeing if that helps vs stock
What if you put the 2 noctua fans as exhaust? Non of the testing showed any upgrades just downgrades and no change. I know it’s not the point but it definitely solidifies the negative is better argument.
*thanks dude.. i have this case and was considering on getting additional fans.. till is saw this vid. I'll just replace the 2 stock fans with the same exhaust setting :)*
Jay Agustin I was going to do the same thing once I use this case in my next build, what fans would you recommend? There’s so much debate about what are the best case fans
@@tinocabral4201 nah Noctua usually makes the best fans (imo and many other opinions) but they're ugly and usually expensive
i'm happy that you did this. i have the same case and came to the same conclusion.
i was hoping the front intake fans would make a difference, but they didn't.
@James Harper so i should set them all to exhaust ?
frederik meire lmk if u set them all to exhasut
@@SandyFruitBasket This is late af but my rear and top fans are set to exhaust and my aio is also set to exhaust, but i do have a msi duke 2070 oc with 3 fans. My components stay under 60 degrees under heavy loads but i still worry that there are no intake even with the 3 fans from the gpu.
@@frederikmeire no, balancing is always best! Especially because you want to keep the dust out ;)
Does adding the front fans reduce dust build up?
will adam no it will actully add more
What lens is it? A Tamron 28-75 F2.8?
Yea but RGB fans increases FPS by at least 10% pr fan!
you never checked GPU temps... which is what the air from the front would help...
Chromax to replace stock fans on the exhaust follow up video?
WayStedYou couldn’t agree more, a missed opportunity to show the benefits of better quality fans.
@@TheCupra1985 He is still Learning^^
Or be quiet! Shadow wings 2
@James Harper God bless you^^
@James Harper What results did you get from the upgrade?
It’s negative pressure, GN also agrees with Greg here. Though NZXT should consider a top 240/280mm radiator mount for the next iteration of this case, would be nice.
Steve noticed when he tested this case that the top exhaust had a useless mesh dust filter that, when removed, slightly improved temps.
I've got this case with stock config and have noticed some dust buildup. I was thinking of adding a couple Corsair SP140s to have static pressure in that crappy intake situation and hopefully catch dust in the filters. If there was no difference in temps, would you advise this purely for dust reduction? And I guess aesthetics as well.
Wouldn't you see more dust build-up without the 2 front intake fans?
im sure you know alot about Hot Boxes
What happens if you live in a extremely cold environment does the heating change
Cause I live in a town where the average temperature is 4 degrees Celsius most days and nighttime it gets to -3 Celsius
Can I just say the 14 dollar windows key legit worked... so thanks
Careful, it may work at first but if the origin is non legit it can be rejected down the road.
@@TechNick94 If it wasn't legit, it wouldn't work in the first place. I've bought the last 3 Win 10 keys on eBay and they've both worked just fine. Been almost two years now. Paid less than $4/each for them.
I have discovered that this is the same with the H700. It is useless to put fans up front as it does nothing for cooling. I tried to Noctua IPPC as front intake and even at 3000 RPM there is no change to GPU temps. My CPU is cooled by a top mounted AIO temps aren't much different with that either. I am completely confused as to how this case does its thing.
I don't know if you read comments, but something I would really like to see that no other reviewers seems to have accurately done is a high end fan comparison. I would like to see Noiseblocker Eloops, Be Quiet SW3 and PW2, Noctua NF-F12 and NF-A12x25 and NF-S12a, Corsair ML120 Pro. All with dB, temp and airflow comparisons. I haven't been able to find any up to date comparisons :(
Google silentpcreview. You want to know the airflow, rpm, and noise. I recommend gentile typhoon for radiators (although I believe they are good case fans as well), they have high static pressure (even more than noctua) and are among the best when it comes to noise as well. Other than that you cant go wrong with noctua. The reset I dont even bother with, no point when we have other better options like gentile typhoon or noctua.
So what do you recommend we do to improve the cooling? I have a stock cooler for the Ryzen 7 3700x and just have the stock exhaust fans in the case.
have you came to any conclusions? I’m also facing the same problem with the same case. Does an AIO at the front make a significant difference? Because that’s the only reasonable option I’m seeing.
@@kyleweiss3793 Yes, i added a 140 mm fan to replace the stock 120 and pt the stock 120 to blow out the front. I dropped like 5 degrees
I'd like to see a comparison of having an AIO up front with both intake and exhaust setup. i have mine up front set to intake but i wonder if having all fans exhaust in the case would make a difference. I could try it myself but i'm too lazy lol
Did you ever find out the answer to this friend?
@@V_2077 I wonder too lol, im thinking about putting a 240mm aio in the front of my h510 and I wanna know which way round to face the fans - exhaust towards the back or intake from the front (either way it will block intake airflow to the GPU)
And for the most beautiful case: NZXT H510!!!
What if you put AIO on the front panel to cool CPU? Would that get temperatures to be higher or lower?
Does anyone know if you can use uphere 120mm LED fans for this case
This is easily one of the best case reviews I've ever seen
I have an H500, but it’s from Cooler Master. Which has the best airflow from any case with 200mm fans...
Who else was staring at the graphics card to the right
Wasn't that the subject of the video?
I find it odd that all his videos for a month + have all been about that vertically mounted GPU... 😂
I added 2 NZXT P120 in the front as intake and my cpu temp went from 60 to 50 °c
I own this case. Thanks for giving me a good reason to go back in and reconfigure it ;)
what
How did you change it? I also have one
@@frappel09 Honestly, I just have one Noctua fan exhausting at the back, and one intake at the front top spot. I also have an NZXT cooling bracket attached to my GTX 1080, with a fan and radiator (Corsair h55) at the front bottom spot. It seems to work fine.
@@gramblor1 ah very nice, have been considering changing those stock case fans so thanks for the response 👍🏻
The piping analog doesn’t really work here. In a closed(no leakage) piping system, the velocities will be the same at both ends, assuming the cross-sections at those points are the same. The friction due to piping length and the bends won’t slow anything down, rather it would necessitate a higher head pressure to make sure the fluid makes it all the way through.
10:30 If you have fluid going at 10 m/s at the intake, then the fluid move at 10 m/s at the exhaust, otherwise you won't have the same amount of the fluid going in and out (assuming the section of the pipe is unchanged). You might have pressure losses, but no speed losses
change in pressure results in a change in speed - bernoulli's principle :)
So do you think am going to have a problem with my i5-10400f
Rtx3060 ti
Does it effects?? On this case
@Haimura okey thx 😊
Some Mr fantastic length arms
Greg, have you done the same testing with the H500i? Curious to see if the added cost is actually warranted or not. If not I may just stay with my s340 elite, which does a great job in the cooling department.
Not a upgrade infact it's not worth the $30 or so more than the regular H500
You have a desk?!?! You can build a PC then 😉
I see what you did there!
So... What you're saying is I should cut massive holes in my front panel to install some fans? 😃
my exact thought
Where did you get that wallpaper?
I want It. I NEED IT!!!
@Cerus98 Thanks a lot man.
Just realised the pure picture is quiet small and it was just duplicated. Might create my own with things from my own life
Would you suggest replacing the stock fans with better, quieter ones but keep them both as exhaust and just keep the stock ones as back up fans? I'm planning on buying the H510 soon and want to know if I should spend and extra 30 or so dollars on a couple of Noctuas.
Wow, I usually avoid key resellers since I've heard horror stories where they are often fake, but I just used the one you linked and it really worked. I used your code and it cost me about $18 CAD for Windows 10 Pro when I was about willing to pay $260 CAD for it when I get paid next week.
I kinda shorta screwed up by Motherboard then shorted out my i9 9900k trying to fix it, I reordered my $400 board but had to get a Pentium Gold as a temp CPU until I can afford to get another 9900k since I also still need to get my GPU which is also going to be quite pricey. Not having to pay that extra quarter thousand is really nice. You earned as sub today :)
how did you screw up your motherboard im building a pc based off youtube videos and dont wanna do the same
@@pmbu Kedi, just make sure you look over the manuals, and maybe try to find a few build pictures online using the same board so you can feel reassured you're plugging things into the right areas and you basically have wires going everywhere the build you're looking at online does. It's very straight forward and simple, you really shouldn't have any issues. You can use a site like pcpartpicker to find photos of builds using the same parts as you :)
2:46 VRM is in my case is hotter than CPU :)
Damn, I can't wait for Computex!
So would switching the stock NZXT fans out for premium fans in the exhaust config make any difference?
In noise level, for example noctua or be quiet fans(I know, I tested a lot of fans), performance wise it should be identical at the same rpm.
The top exhaust supports a 140 so you could upgrade size there as well.
Is there a big improvement between 120 and 140mm?
Keep up the wonderful videos
thanks for the video. I wish you could change the title slightly though to more relevant one. I checked a lot of H500 H500i H510 H510i videos but yours almost the last for me to watch... =_=
This is my case! I am so glad I found this video because I was wondering the same thing!
Hi , I’m planing to buy one, how is your config?
@@renzoarana3018 What do you mean by config?
Have you run a test comparing stock fans in their original location vs. alternatives in the same position? Other than noise I'm curious how much of an impact it would have.
fix the title
put tha case name in it
Best option is to put an 280mm AIO (nzxt 62 or Corsair 115 pro) in front and replace the top fan with a 140mm fan. The gpu temp drops between 7-10 degrees! Have an GTX Asus Strix with tripple fans - thats the optimum you can get with this case. Greetings from Austria (origin of noctua)
Helge Schneider What do your gpu temps sit at?
Helge Schneider Is the AIO in intake or exhaust?
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I just ordered this case and was wondering about fan configuration. I was worried, but an less worried now. I can't wait.
So I have a nzxt 210i case... trying to figure out the best airflow and after watching this I am def questioning my setup. If you had an AIO (Kraken x52), would you mount the fans on the inside of the radiator where the fans are facing the same direction as the exhaust fans? So if you were to look through the glass to the front of the case you would be able to see the back of the fan (purple circle around nzxt - I've seen a few people do this) or would I be better off mounting them to the front of the radiator?
This was a cool video when Gamers Nexus did it last year...
If it had better airflow I would have bought this case, I ended up buying cooler master h500
I just installed the Cable Mod vertical mount in my h500 and the cpu increased slightly but the gpu is getting thermal throttled in certain games (Aourus 2080 ti Extreme). Im curious if i add two front intake fans if I will get better results. If I try it I’ll let you know.
Unless you are water cooling vertical mount is basically always worse
@@WayStedYou unless in an open system like a P3 from ThermalTake
^ ^ ^ . It's always worse to have vertical mount GPUs cuz GPUs take the air from the space the coolers are looking at and when that's glass in most cases...there's literally no air to intake so it thermals alot. If you got cash, either go with watercooling or get custom brackets and air coolers that go over the GPU itself(or swap them entirely) to look a little bit sleeker when having them in horizontal mount. Eexactly like NZXT made their own minimalistic motherboard...if you're looking for that.
@@dduleyt Generally, the cable mod vertical bracket shouldn't affect temps by more than a degree or too, since it doesn't choke the GPU, like case vetical brackets do (by pressing them against the side panel.)
And, in certain cases (like the Lian Li PC-011D), it actually makes the GPU cooler by a couple of degrees.
@@autumn5592 It just generaly depends of the position. The patents in the first versions of cases that had the brackets near the side-panel were really clogging it. However, yeah it could cool a little bit better since the air-flow goes alot better through the aluminium heatsink if it's placed along the air-flow where it just passes through.
How many fans can the case hold
So I can turn my rgb fans around for aesthetics?? 😜
Zach MXK talking about front intake fans? That’s what I’m thinking I can do lol
In my case It IS a hotbox. Got this case for my new build (now 7 days old) R9 3900X and ASUS ROG STRIX RX5700 XT. With Stock cooler the cases fans where overwhelmingly loud but it was to be expected with this monstrous CPU. I Put my AiO and mounted it in front (where is only possible) making things even worst than before. Liquid temp kept rising over 60c and the PC was shutting down (through the default AiO configuration to do so), even from cold boot (after letting the PC to cool off for an hour or so) the temp of the AiO liquid was 43c. The Case was quite hot (not warm) to the touch. CPU temps >65 on idle, 85+ on Cinebench R20 (x1 pass). I left the side panel open, since the case does not have any front panel to remove and voila. Liquid Temp less than 23c after a cold boot, CPU 40-43c on idle etc.
Conflicting, I have this exact same case (H500 white version) and I added two 140mm fans as front intake(corsair ML140 white version to go with the case) and it drops the temp. of my entire build by 4-5 degree. So I wouldn't say the front intake is entirely pointless in this case. My CPU is 26°c on idle with front intake fans compared to 31°c on idle with no intake fans. I haven't test it out at full load yet but I assume if it improve temps on idle, it'll improve temps on full load as well. I use automatic PWM fan curves sets by my asus motherboard.
If you watch Gamers Nexus Vidor on the h500, you'll find thag adding two front intake and will decrease CPU temperatures, but it will increase GPU temperatures.
@@ImaSpacePotato I've seen that. However my GPU is at 28°c on idle and never goes over 63°c when gaming at full load. So I don't really see a problem since my GPU is designed to go all the way up to 80°c. I find the best setup for this case for me is a dual 140mm front intake and a 120mm exhaust at the back and a 140mm exhaust on top. Also replace the stock fans that came with the case. That stock fan is trash in my opinion. It's loud and doesn't produce good enough airflow.
What build did you have in the PC? I have to do something for mine as well. I was really getting tired of people saying two fans on the back are fine cause they aren't. My max temp was 85c for my ryzen 5 2600x I think the gpu "RX 580 8gb" was around 76-80c or something I am not really 100% sure on the gpu temp atm I would have to test again. I mean I cleaned the case a few times already but its still just as bad so I am getting a new cooler for the cpu cause these max temps are way too much. I assume with those temps you have a better cooler on? I am going to look at these fans you bought for the front. I am just glad I finally found a person on here with a different experience. I mean maybe the case runs just fine when temps are low like that for some and cooling it with extra fans does minimal difference but at higher temps like me I am willing to bet the temps go down 8-10c. I mean I don't think most of these reviewers compare that anyways most the time you see its high 50c or low 60c. I would of thought maybe it was the gpu heat going on the cpu making it that high but I think both parts are just generating too much heat. So hopefully this new cooler I get lowers my temps enough then I will test after and maybe pick up those fans you listed as well. I mean one thing I learned if you are running that stock cooler from amd the max temps are way higher than these temps reviewers do. I like to see them test with stock amd coolers instead just to compare.
Hello Greg, thank you very much for your video. Could you please recommend a fan management options for corsair carbide 275r mid tower case (not airflow version) but closed front panel. The components are amd ryzen 5 2600, msi armor rx 580 oc, asus b450m-a. Do i need to upgrade to aftermath cooler in this corsair case? Motherboard has 1 cpu fan and only 2x 4pin chassis.. thank you very much in advance for you answer) regards
You can't get positive pressure in this case. Even with 140mm fans at the front there is a huge gap at the top preventing the front fans from actually pulling in the air.
They just kinda blow the existing air around. Now, if NZXT made a little plate to fill that gap, we'd be in business.
I watched this right after moving my top fan as intake to the front.
I have back pain and it sucked to do that but I got it done.
Now I have to switch it back.
God damn it.
Fair. I love my H500i. I did move mine to the front simply for aesthetics. It really doesn't matter in common (arguable) use, which brings me to my observation. Most of us do not run our PC's in 5th gear wide open. It was good to see the temps at load but it would also have been good to see some temp readings at idle with both fan configs and some examples of common (arguable) everyday use from gaming to maybe streaming... maybe even video editing and rendering. In my opinion, if you are not running your PC at heavy loads in this case, it does not matter. Otherwise, if you are your opinion makes sense to leave them in the stock config.
I think a lot of people run their pcs in 5th gear honestly, I'd say most pc builds out there are for gaming, at least the people who care to watch these kinds of videos are probably building for gaming.
Watching on 0.75 speed because I don’t have English as my first language, but good video.
Pulling in air exhausts me too 😂
