NZXT H210i M-itx Build and Review with RTX 3070 FE & 200 Subscriber thank you :)

[@christnguyen5914]

This is a really good video! I built a few pcs for my friends but I'm doing a build for myself for the holidays and I decided to go with this case. I'm going with an i7-10700 with an rog strix b460-i and a cooler master h212 black for the cooler. I was worried if my 2070 was gona fit but seeing that you managed to get a 3070 FE helped clear my conscience. Your video and analysis is really good. Keep up the good work :)

[@WayneWebbFilms]

Thanks for the nice comment. Enjoy your build :)

[@ama4639]

Thank you so much for this I already was doing a h210 rtx 3070 fe build but couldn't find any posts or videos with the two so now it's just waiting on a restock for the 3070

[@WayneWebbFilms]

They're honestly a great fit, good luck with the build

[@Jakemp4]

The good thing is, the RGB HUB connector can act as more fan ports.

[@JOAFINDICHJOA]

nice build! The 3070 looks fantastic in this case! I get my H210i next week and I put my Dark Rock pro 4 in there. All Black no RGB, just the lighting from the case

[@WayneWebbFilms]

The case is perfect for it. The DR4 should do a great job. The Wraith Prism is so so especially with the 3900X. What CPU & motherboard are you using?

[@JOAFINDICHJOA]

@@WayneWebbFilms well I know it is a littlebit of an Overkill but I am running a Ryzen 3600 in my system on MSI B450i gaming plus AC. I Iike it cool & quiet.

[@WayneWebbFilms]

Very good CPU and not overkill really. If not already done, make sure the BIOS has been updated to accept 3000 series. I'm assuming it's a brand new build. If not, ignore the comment ;)

[@JOAFINDICHJOA]

@@WayneWebbFilms It's used, It was part of a used ITX pc that I bought a few weeks ago with a R2600, GTX 1060 6 GB, 16GB of ram and even a Corsair SF 450 Powersupply.The BIOS has never been updated by the owner and the XMP Profile was not activated, so the owner used it 2 years at 2133 Mhz xD. It was selled in my area I couldnt resist because it was a good price for 300€. I took out the motherboard and the powersupply for my own builds, and the rest of the system I combined with some used stuff I had lying around (mATX b450 motherboard and mATX Tower and ATX psu) . A few days later I selled this PC. The buyer was a kid that got a hardwareban on Fortnite one day earlier, he really needed a PC ASAP xDD

[@alchoo]

are gonna upload it? i would be interrested to see the dark rock 4 pro in such a small case.

[@ben_jsy1]

I was thinking doing a build similar, with the 3070 FE. Do you think its worth trying to find one new or for about £300 second hand.

[@canadiantree2000]

Thanks for the video, I'm going to build in the same case with a 3070 FE. But I'm choosing an SFX PSU as I heard it really helps airflow.

[@WayneWebbFilms]

I have heard the same but not tested that tbh. You'll need to be open to the idea of cable extensions because the cables on an SFX may not be long enough primarily the 8 pin CPU and 24 pin motherboard cables.

[@canadiantree2000]

@@WayneWebbFilms yes! That way I can have cables in the color I want too

[@Captain-Chats]

I have just taken delivery of a 3070ti FE and also looking at this case, should I be worries about temperature and air flow

[@WayneWebbFilms]

Airflow isn't amazing with the case, it's NZXT, but as per the video I found it worked best with an aircooler and decent fans for intake.

[@stealth20673]

Hi. Was there additional plugs for the two fans you popped in the front or did they go into your MOBO somewhere? I have two RGB fans I want to add to this case and just wondered if the slots in the hub on the back are already taken up by the two fans already installed in the case.Thanks

[@WayneWebbFilms]

Hi dude, there are only 3 ports in the hub for fans. I'm pretty sure I used a splitter on the front or the fans had an adaptor (PST) on them that allowed for daisy chaining and then into the hub. ITX boards are generally lacking in fan headers bit if you just use a splitter you'll be absolutely fine. Here is a link for the kind of thing I use www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01N1Z3FYD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_R9U8FbYVMPW57?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

[@g.nikolaidiss]

I was gonna ask about how you managed to hide the HD Audio cable but when you popped the rear panel off I realised that you didn't connect it at all. Do you have any clue on how I can hide the cable? What about tucking it under the M.2 Heatsink? (I just got the same motherboard and case). Great vid btw keep up the good work!

[@WayneWebbFilms]

There is a cable management hole under where the HD Audio cable resides. You can route it so that it is hidden under the gpu. Its a bit fiddly so I probably couldn't be bothered with the build. Tbh I don't think I ever use headphones in the Front Panel.

[@g.nikolaidiss]

@@WayneWebbFilms Thanks for your reply! You earned another sub, keep up the good work!

[@deanveenendaal3782]

will a Micro ATX mobo fit into this case? i have a b450M A pro max ii mobo

[@artworkdt2077]

What is the max temperature of this GPU? I have the same case and just installed an Asus Dual 3070 OC, it is quite thick, almost touching the PSU shroud. It is really loud and hot. Temperatures hit 84 degrees after just a few minutes of gaming.

[@WayneWebbFilms]

Not too sure but must have been mid 60s. A lot of cards struggle due to the lack of clearance. Plus it is summer here in the UK. Have you tried upping the fan curve of the gpu and case fans?

[@ronkrepps]

I ran into the problem with needing the USB 2.0 splitter because I am using an AIO liquid cooler and the internal hub needs a USB 2.0 as well. I should have watched this video first!

[@Captain-Chats]

Looking at this case with a 3070ti FE and an Aio installed at the front. Do you think temps and airflow will be ok

[@WayneWebbFilms]

Sorry I missed your message. Yeah I think they will be fine. I would try a pull config if it were me. Did you try this at all?

[@taki_master1238]

Would it be possible to fit 2 hard drives? Thinking about getting this case

[@WayneWebbFilms]

Not if they are 3.5" drives nzxt.com/en-GB/product/h210i

[@XDLKYS]

Hi, This RGb 08:42 its from the cooler or from h210i? Thx 1more follow

[@WayneWebbFilms]

Thanks for the sub :) The RGB comes from the RGB strips that come with the case.

[@JHayler7]

I was worried about a rtx 3070 fe in this case but the temps seem fine. Do you think the larger 510 would offer significantly batter temps ?

[@WayneWebbFilms]

Hi, the temps are good on this case but you really need to air-cool because it needs as much airflow as possible. The h510 isn't a case I have built in, but the airflow isn't amazing from what I've seen. That said, it is an ATX mid tower so will be a better performer in theory. The h700/h710 cases are really nice if you're going ATX.

[@JHayler7]

@@WayneWebbFilms thanks for the reply. I have a rtx 3070 Fe (somehow :) ) and a 5600x. I saw some mods where the psu shroud can be cut but if temps are decent then doesn't not seem worth the effort. Thanks again going for this case as temps seem acceptable and don't think the 510 will be much better. If anyone has temps from both I would be interested

[@DatBoiJrSan408]

So this will fit my 3060ti with ease thank god. My card doesn't fit well in my shift air case. Sticks out lol

[@bumfuzzle4844]

How much did this all cost total? I know that prices for graphic cards and cpus are insane right now. I’m actually planning to build a similar build with the same case after the stock market cools down

[@WayneWebbFilms]

Hi, approx £1500 if buying a combination of used/new. Just depends on what deals you can pick up really. Put the parts into pcpartpicker and that will give you a better idea. Obviously you can get a lesser CPU and GPU to being the price down and you can get away with 16gb Ram.

[@rordanlamb8174]

How do you think this build would go with a 3 fan RTX 3070? I’m looking at building one with air cooling and would love some input!

[@WayneWebbFilms]

Hi, unfortunately no. If you said 3070 FE then that would work but there isn't a lot of work to play with. At most you have 2.5 slots and they you're up against the psu shroud. The H400i would be a better bet for larger cards but that is matx

[@rordanlamb8174]

Thanks for your input. I have sorted a MSI Ventus 2x for my build, same case. What’s your thoughts ? Cpu is 5800x.

[@WayneWebbFilms]

Cool, that card should work well. I've not actually used the 5000 series, the pricing and availability put me right off AMD for the first time in years. I gather the new chips are hot, but they were with 3000 series and I used to clock at 4.2 and undervolt at 1.25v otherwise it tries running at 1.4v+ and that's when the temps rocket. What cooler are you looking at getting? My recommendation would be an air cooler in this case.

[@rordanlamb8174]

@@WayneWebbFilms I haven’t fully decided yet between an AIO or some sort of Noctua. Would air be a better choice ? If so, why do you think?

[@WayneWebbFilms]

@@rordanlamb8174 in my experience the gpu will suffer massively. That said it may not be totally awful if you do the fans in a pull configuration. Basically its down to airflow. The gpu suffers with the limited space as it is, so choking it further with an aio isn't the best idea. I've done systems with an aio and a hybrid gpu and it can struggle even then. My suggestion for best overall temps would be an aircooler and a couple of decent fans in the front.

[@brandonbentley132]

finally a good video for this! do you think a Asrock z490m itx motherboard and i5-10600k would work with this? 3070 of course too.

[@WayneWebbFilms]

Thanks. Yeah that'll work great. I would probably advise you to use an aftermarket air cooler in this case or a 120mm AIO. Using a 240mm kills the airflow

[@ragemk5841]

@@WayneWebbFilms could you explain how it kills the air flow. Im going through my parts on pcpartpicker and am wondering would a 3080 got with a 240 rad

[@WayneWebbFilms]

@@ragemk5841 the radiator stops good airflow for the GPU is what I mean, so temps will be a little higher than if you were using an air cooler. Your CPU will be better off of course. Suppose its just how you look at things. I was speaking to someone yesterday who said their temps were about 10 degrees higher on the 3070 fe with a 240 AIO. I have previously tested which was a while ago and I don't have any figures but it wasn't fantastic.

[@WayneWebbFilms]

Also, if the 3080fe is the same size then you'll be fine

[@ragemk5841]

@@WayneWebbFilms ahh gotcha so for optimal GPU temps ots best to go with a 120mm in front of the case and/or two front case fans like your video and a DP4 slim?

[@distrakt9635]

I’m sorry for always asking but would a GIGABYTE GEFORCE RTX 3070 AORUS MASTER 8GB GRAPHICS CARD fit in a h210?

[@WayneWebbFilms]

No worries. I think there is very little chance of it fitting. There really isn't a lot of GPU room in this case. Btw, I'm starting a video with the NZXT H400i tomorrow and that is the bigger Matx brother of this case. It would definitely fit in that.

Is 2*140 best or 2*120 on the front??

Normally 2x140 is the way to go...the bigger the better and all that

[@kazukiv4126]

My friend was saying that you need 2 mic ports is it okay that this only has 1

[@WayneWebbFilms]

Have a look at 2.3.2 on page 2-18/20 of the manual and that should help you (link below). Ultimately, give it a go and you should be fine.

550W with a 3900x and 3070 is pushing it 😳

If it's an RM550X or G3 or similar top tier PSU then you should be okay at stock settings. I think you need a bit more for efficiency and Overclocking, but people have said a 500w bronze psu was enough with a 3600/5600x & 3070.
