NZXT Switch 810 Case Review

[@Applemyth918]

I really like that you touched on the large water cooler radiator install options! Thank you!

[@khaled.a.w8169]

you are the best in reviewing cases

[@HardwareCanucks]

We know :pp Thanks :D

[@jugostran]

I like your videos and all,but why didnt you give a Dam innovative or dam good reward for the corsair 760T because of a 10$ dust filter in 2014!Also,some cases need re-reviews,like cases from 2013-2015 so you can give comments on RGB style and stuff that is "cool" in 2017!

[@christoiMc]

Wow, that is awesome. Looks great, load of features, modest price. Anandtech criticized it for the temperatures, but I honestly think this is one amazing case.

[@chubyberto]

this case although being over 1 year old is one of the best watercooling case, just amazing

[@RemX405]

That is a trully brillant case. Best case I have seen since 2 years or even more...

[@Ashleycb97]

Is it just me or does the gpu appear bent in the video

[@FloridaRealEstate101]

I have the White version, finger prints are indeed NOT an issue. I am thrilled with this case!

[@TheGMontey]

I had the same dilemma, I chose the switch over the haf x. I would advise the same.

[@Aristowi]

May I ask what camera do you use for shoot your videos? You always have the best shots!

[@FoodOnCrack]

Would love to see a 2014 switch case..

[@guitarroka]

I LOVE the overall look of the Phantom 630, and the build quality is AWESOME... if only the window was a little bigger (and not as important but a hot swap would be nice too, and maybe at least 1 LED fan)

[@MrJpb199]

I know what you mean, I'm a fan of a large side window but I quite like the side fan on this case, heard with a side fan your GPU temps can be lowered by around 10 degrees C

[@1BYEBYE1]

Wish they remade this case

[@jutenheim223]

@LookatthatSH1T There is an accessory, i think it's called retention bracket, but cases with auxiliary slots are the only cases that are compatible.

[@mrpotsilog3]

i love this case, i'll buy that next month ! what's better WHITE or BLACK ?

[@esy928]

wow! i can see the whole set because of its shiny -ness!

[@Thendlessilence]

Bloody brilliant review, you've earned a sub

[@layol692k7]

great review and i actually love this case for the price point

[@xSS4x]

Nice case, but plastic can be expected to keep the price down. It was the same for my CM SS BE case but im quite happy with it. I gotta admit the cooling offered on this NZXT case is quite impressive and really tempting.

[@Bigducey101]

after I finish my Red Storm build with the NZXT phantom, this will be my next case for my "Abyss" Build.

[@xSociety]

@Shizzless I have two Twin Frozr III graphics cards, they do not lean down AT ALL. The way they are built makes sure of that.

[@BadBoyDeGekste]

@MidgyNinja Check out at 2:29 he has the fan set to intake at the top. It also has a switch to close the top completely for when you turn it off.

[@anhadpreetsingh3479]

A quad rad means a 480mm rad right? So can this case fit a 480mm rad without modding?

[@abhijit1998]

true, but then you take a look at special edition cases, which are matte, which makes this case a perfect choice IMO.

[@iceveiled]

Not a fan of piano black finish - makes the case look cheap, not elegant. Otherwise good features. Awesome review as always.

[@amodkala5437]

What a nice studio you have there.

[@schabadas1]

@Sp33dJunki3 do you think that if you paint the case you can remove that glossy surface or it wont work?

[@JrumBeats]

WONDERFUL REVIEW!

[@frickbot]

if only it wasnt glossy or made of plastic. then it would be the tower of my dreams, i love the simple look while still having a window.

[@Erulilum]

@TheWretchedWorld depending what fans and pump you will use, and how much you will overclock it would impact the results, buuut a 360mm is an overkill for just the cpu. I use two 240mm for a heavily OC'd 2700k and an OC'd HD7970, and its more than enough.

[@mattslip2374]

i own this case and the only con i noticed about it is that the drive mounts are a little stiff

[@Verithiell]

@Roland0314 it happens with all long graphics cards that doesnt have a backplate or speciall bar to make card rigid. ALthough thats not really something you should worry about too much.

[@longstrikemaster]

looks like the rear has a dual fan watercooler capibilities also.

[@BulletProofGeek]

ok time for a match against nzxt and cooler master.... which one is better a cooler master storm trooper or a nzxt 810?

[@garudakings]

Heyman, can you make a review of NXZT Noctis 450 ROG please? I really like your videos :)

[@Zillerz3]

Still don't get how you do the spins on the cases without moving your camera, i dont see anything moving under the case!!

[@MarioDragon]

Too shiny, way too freaking shiny. That already is impossible to clean for more than 5 seconds, especially in the dust bowl where I live. Seriously, what is with the shiny crap these days?

[@aurum7695]

glad to see people didn't like the glossy when it was all over the place either

[@MarioDragon]

@@aurum7695 I'm glad, for the most part, glossy shiny plastic seems to have disappeared

[@TheKillzone9999]

Im not water cooling with the case but it looks good.

[@mrdroid412]

The number of rubber grommets on the motherboard tray for the white version ruins what could have been one of the most beautiful interiors on the market. I'll take the frame of this case with a BitFenix Colossus motherboard tray please.

[@bonn1771]

great review thanks for posting it

[@alexanderhdo]

forgot about the adjustable exhaust fan, and illuminated LEDs for the IO panel..

[@DeltaF508]

so can i takeout the hot swap bay in the front for another optical drive slot?

[@Cruly_lawbreaker]

Tis thing reflects all your studio!!)))))

[@Verification11]

this case is packed with features

[@CptBlack12]

@Xynerial well if i buy x79 with SLI or something, i buy case that looks elegant and sturdy.. not some cheap plastic..

[@ehcivicracer]

I have this case in gunmetal. Great case but not of the highest build quality. with all my hardware installed I am very careful when moving it. the frame is steel but the front and top is made of plastic. the case is hard to carry due to not having any handles and holding points. it is a great case if your just going to put something in and not touch it. due to the size of the case the side panels are somewhat wobbly. if you want a solid case cuy something else. buy this one for features.

[@LookatthatSH1T]

What can you do about a graphics card leaning like that? I know that one in particular is a heavy ass hard.

[@BadBoyDeGekste]

lol you actually make the top an intake? dustfilters at the top? while heat rises you should use it as exhaust..

[@UddhavL]

Plastic construction isn't a flaw, it's a compromise for what price it comes at.

[@RemiX_O]

will a 240mm rad fit in the traditional exhaust spot?

[@SgtStarSlayer]

if it was 1 in longer front mount radiator would be possible where the 2 fans are.

[@fshlps]

How did you Make the Case look so Shiny?

[@envyus83]

@Roland0314 A backplate will be the easiest option if you can find one.

[@khaled.a.w8169]

there is a beautiful white version if some one is interested!

[@onomatopoeia162003]

www.nzxt.com/product/detail/111-switch-810-case.html

[@ScaleCarModels]

IMO its a great case for the price.

[@schabadas1]

@jo05dk cmon it is already cheap. i mean this costs the same with the 650D but has more watercooling options. A quad radiator is a big advantage and you can add even a 480 radiator so you have complete internal watercooling, You can as always paint the case by yourself to make it look as you want. Just my thoughts

[@superdudeb1]

Native triple rad support, with some creativity, a quad can fit in there somewhere

[@darklink2000]

Looks very good, also nice price.

[@guitarroka]

That's true, but to be fair, when watching a review you want to hear ALL the negatives so that you can make a good decision and not be disappointed when you buy a "completely and utterly perfect case"

[@seahzuxiang]

You can just install triple rad easily by removing top panel with so much space and tubing to run through

[@mrdroid412]

There wasn't enough room for the SSD because you installed it backwards. The plugs are supposed to be on the right side of the case and the flat side of the SSD/HDD should be showing.

[@CountDuckula1908]

Wait, why is it a hybrid case - what makes it hybrid?

[@Defusional]

what kind of card can be 1 inch longer then hd6990. the 7000series are the same size

[@TokerMate]

I wish I had the materials, workshop and skills to make my own case. I just want a solid case built entirely of aluminium/steel that can mount a 360mm radiator at the top and a 240mm at the bottom easily with native USB 3.0 on the front panel and removable dust filters on "every" fan opening and no side window and absolutely NO tool-less designs! Most ridiculous feature advertised and a well thought out interior all in a case that looks simple but nice like a 800D. *dreaming*

[@dolph123454321]

How thick a radiator can you fit in the top?

[@achinism]

IMO, from all the reviews and user experiences that can be found throughout the web, Switch 810 clearly takes the cake. This NZXT case has it all feature wise, introduce a few novel ones like the HDD caddy, provides water cooling galore and then comes less costly @ ~$170. OTOH, storm trooper is not a well thought out chassis, has some design/quality issues like odd fan placement and hard thumb screws. I'm heartbroken that nzxt didn't give switch a matte finish, went flashy instead- what a waste!

[@vibeslord]

that was a great Review!!!

[@metallurgico]

NZXT is reinventing chassis

[@TheAlphaMale316]

All and all, that's not a bad case. I'd still take the Cosmos II over this though.

[@MrPl0xygen]

is the hot swap removeable ?

[@freed175]

please can you look at the phantom full tower

[@KingofAeons]

Yeah, that does worry me and it isn't even my computer.

[@MythionVR]

If you're using a 140mm radiator in push pull then yes, but 280mm no.

[@mrpotsilog3]

i want the matte black but it's not available here . only the white and black . XD

[@MrJpb199]

Switch 810 or Phantom 630?

[@Dystt]

I really like the Switch more because it has that large window

[@anhadpreetsingh3479]

nice review

[@madebarriere]

Is that a gitzo tripod?

[@boholsurf_2749]

Can I use this side panel for the nzxt phantom 820?

[@cheescake98]

you can use it for the h630, not certain about the 820, but i dont think so

[@Nvidia4000]

Why would anyone need an adapter for USB3.0? It's compatible with USB2.0 and the case already has USB2.0. Also all the latest motherboards has a front USB3.0 connector.

[@CptBlack12]

@Xynerial that i value quality over cheapness.. take care

[@mrmactknife]

@Roland0314 That "saggy" graphics card makes it into every case review lol

[@brianawesome100]

@LookatthatSH1T support beam?

[@ProudGeek1]

This or the Haf X?

[@thesarcasist659]

I dont get why when people think of the Switch they think ZOMG!!!?!?!?! PLAZTICZ!!@!!@. Not THAT much of the case is plastic. Only the front and top is plastic. The side panels are metal. My friends cat ran into my friend's Switch and it completely bounced off the side panel with no dents or scratches. Yeah, the front and the top panel is plastic, but it isn't by no means cheap plastic. The plastic is rather quite sturdy.

[@extremeanalogmusic6296]

impossible to do push pull at the top of the stryker

[@1BYEBYE1]

so reflective you can see the whole room

[@TheQhozt]

God that thing is shiny!

[@teeblack06]

that's a nice case

[@Aristowi]

Man, I love the interior and the accesories, too bad the exterior is not that appealing for me as a PC gamer. Yes, I am shallow.

[@PCModderMike]

I'm liking the case, but look at that card sag, doesn't that worry you??

[@DeltaF508]

Well because fan controllers and other cool doo-dads are usually in a 5.25in. case. see my thinkin?

[@buca9696]

Ooooh man, dust and fingerprint magnet right there.

[@Verithiell]

on the thumbnail it looked like the whole side panel is made of plexi glass :D

[@papoose515]

whats the copper?

[@kpw528]

Oh. Well yeah. The way you said it in your other comment made it sound like (to me) that you wanted to use 2 optical (CD/DVD) drives. :p lol

[@CptBlack12]

@Xynerial because this is plastic.. and 800d is alluminium

[@bootsmanaa]

This or cm stryker?

[@Pratham40s]

Fukin epic !!

[@YouGamesPlus]

this one or the cm storm stryker
