NZXT Switch 810 Full Tower Gaming Case Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

[@tonyofthenc]

Seriously one of the best thought out cases for the price ive seen. Definitively using it in my water cooled build. (And yes you can remove the drive cages and support for them all the way to add more fans/radiators as needed)

[@BlameCo]

Still using this in 2021, thanks to this review.

[@TotoGecko]

Possibly the most information packed video of a case. Good job Linus!

[@jutenheim223]

this case is just phenomenal. very very pleasing features, so much room for customization. nice

[@StaticJakz]

That 8 pin extension is a nice touch. Especially with a case of this size. I've seen too many PSUs with a short 8 pin cable which is nuts in this day and age.

[@steeltimberwolf]

Great video. Forgot to mention that the top 5.25 bay is slightly recessed so that you can use the stealth facade so the front stays totally white. Also above the top 5.25 bay the slats there are removable for better airflow for the 3rd fan for your rad, also allows for the wider rads also. You can do a push/pull 360 rad on top by putting the rad inside the case with fans and you have 90mm clearance from top of the case to the top of the MB allowing 25mm fans on top.

[@JSmith72188]

Just bought the gloss black version of this case yesterday at my regional Microcenter. Gotta say, this looks amazing in person, even in the less desirable gloss finish. Totally a beast. Best case I've ever had, hands down. I'll definitely be keeping it for many years. :)

[@DmonYT]

Man, I was sold on the 750D, but looking at this.. Man its feature packed and looks a lot more sturdy.

[@DrJoeBallcream]

I was in the exact situation xD

[@DmonYT]

:p now I've seen the Enthoo Primo I have changed my mind again.. haha

[@jookm]

I realize you made this review some time ago but I really appreciate it! I believe I have decided on what my next case will be!

[@josepho5680]

Same here

[@Geokidpro]

Joseph Oatman me three

[@mrwright909]

Telamon xXx Me four

[@NBAPwns13]

Me Five. Have been using it for months, amazing case

[@Destructerator]

Why do case boxes always look like they've seen combat?

[@msintelcorei7]

It is usually due to shipping

[@Maghanashi]

The war of shipping is a terrible place.

[@1HandTech]

You forgot to mention that you can put in another 240 or 280mm rad in the floor if you remove the bottom HDD cage and sled. That make you be able to fit a 360mm rad in the top, a 240mm rad in the front, and a 240 mm rad in the floor. This is an awesome case.

[@LittleRoo]

I picked one up for my build. I do not regret it. it's massive and incredibly well built.

[@MrPrunecandy]

Ordered this case today....i cannot wait. Also ordered my triple rad for the top and a 240 on the bottom

[@93maximaguy]

bought this for myself for my birthday (yesterday) and it will be her in a few days! cant wait to swap and complete my system in this case!!!

[@ExclusiveBrad]

Love to see you do an ultimate watercooling build in this.

[@senrusho]

This is the first NZXT case that I have liked...I think they did a great job on this one

[@madsmadser]

@1HandTech I think the 240mm rad in the front and in the bottom will block each other, so only 1 of those 2 will be possible. But if you place the rad in the bottom, It's still possible to have the top HDD cage in place.

[@Leester-70]

Sold me with the integrated fan cooler on the back. What headache reliever that will be. Very Cool!!

[@TheDaskful]

Yes it can. I just got mine yesterday and put my rig in them. Itt fit the H100 in push-pull configuration. There is a small problem, though. The Rampage IV has some kind of a heatsink (not sure) on top of the CPU socket. It gets in the way of the fan cables to H100's fan controller. Other than that, it will still fit.

[@steeltimberwolf]

And yes you can do a 240mm push/pull rad in the front with plenty of room for your pump

[@DJcoldcrow]

I think this is the first case I actually want, I ussually chose a case just by price/look/airflow, but wow. I'm verry impressed.

[@emleigh102291]

Well, if you look closely, it's not completely blocked, that panel has a space at the sides for air intake for the fan.

[@chucoboy]

Wow. What a nice case and the black one looks even better in my opinion.

[@xSociety]

Just got done building my PC with this case the other day. It's AMAZING!

[@mfitze1]

Im sold... for some reason i love gimicky features in cmputr cases, espesially whan the case is high quality, toolbox things, vents the open and close, hard drive fans that tilt. I want this case

[@Bhetacarn]

It was fine. Sometimes UPS does not handle stuff correctly. I hope you love it, i love mine. I ordered max fans for the case, Not for air control, more for cosmetics, i like to have my hardware lit up.

[@singo79]

I love this case! I've never been much of an NZXT fan, but their latest offerings are fantastic. I think my next case is going to be in the Switch 810. Good review to BTW.

[@Crion629]

Nice case. Really like what NZXT has done here. I've owned both a Guardian 921 and a Lexa S but got rid of them due to lack of good water cooling support. I would definitely consider this as a replacement for my 800d although I'm probably not going to replace my case anytime soon.

[@T3hGamingChann3l]

There is a gap between the panel and the fan, so it can get adequate airflow but also make it look good. I personally don't like it, but it's your choice.

[@tpg81]

I landed here casually a few years lanter and still love the enthusiasm of Linus in this review. Between him and HWC they sold me this case. By the way, I'm still happy with it.

[@GotenSSJ1]

Wow this is one of the best cases since the 800D, I personally don't like the look of it but it's got some great features.

[@scottwcoleman]

the case does let you have a massive 240 rad at the point as well. Great case

[@TheStevepwns]

That is a bad ass case, first one in awhile I have been interested in. Good video.

[@RehmanSubhan]

I just ordered a Coolermaster HAF X yesterday, and now I find out that this exists! Oh well I'll stick with the HAF. Great video Linus

[@Deslice1207]

In the DF-85 Linus has said that there is not enough space for cable management space at the back due to the thickness of a 24 pin cable and he could not close it up so go with the NZXT Switch 810.

[@lastdna]

almost ALMOST perfect except no dust filter for the top. this case has the best front/front butoom dust filter design so far.

[@johnyinggeris95]

Such a good one in both aesthetic and functionality and the price is not even $200! I'm looking forward for someone to make a video of a gaming rig with this case.

[@Amanntube]

I got to admit NZXT did pretty well on this case Ive never liked any other cases from them before

[@Jsak666]

this will be my next case, love the white and the fact that the inside is white

[@sqorck]

Pro tip for unboxing case boxes: put box on long side, cut open the bottom, put flaps to side, turn box so the open side is down, lift box from pc case and fully intact foam packing, enjoy.

[@wardope]

NZXT just gave us the best case on the market. it even Beat's the 800D and the Temjin TJ11. only thing i think this case is missing is a locked compartment in the buttom just like 800D and Temjin TJ11 have.

[@2amProFilms]

Great video, great case. I think this case is a winner for my next build. Thanks Linus!

[@Dronicusprime]

I love this case. I have it sitting right next to me and would definitely recommend it!

[@MrMaven22]

Great review, thanks! I bought the gloss/matt finish version and it looks even better in person. I love the functional design of this case. All of the other little attention to detail things make this case an even better value IMO.

[@j4u3s2t1i0n]

definately getting this. looks perfect and its pretty cheap. been looking for a full size tower with a side window

[@BeardedAK47]

Love the case just ordered one for my new 360+240 setup...Good review!

[@Cownt299]

It just allows you to plug in 7 fans, instead of running molex cables to adapters and such, and in case your motherboard doesn't have 7 fan ports, it's just a fan adapter though, and runs at stock speeds.

[@kivylius]

Not everyone can buy premium cases and it adds almost 0% to the performance but this case looks amazing, all the good parts for a case in one. Great price for a futuristic looking case. I want one.

[@zver711]

I think if you buy that CPU single sleeved extension, that will run for at least 10-12$. Very nice case, tons of options.

[@trapjawspc1093]

also pci slots has a led light so there is 2, also the switch 810 will fit 360 radiator monster rad in push only an 60 mm push only, now a 360 rad 45 mm thick can do push & pull, an in the front can fit 240 60 mm or 80 mm rad,with 120 rad in the floor with out doing any modding at all, all these youtube channels say it does water cooling but never tells you witch rads fit an size but one guy an all the water coolers know who he is

[@strikerm70]

Your unboxings are the best dude.

[@TheTubersee]

you forgot to show that if you take the bottom sled for the hard drive cage you can install a dual rad on the bottom.

[@stephenvc]

This case is nuts! Thanks Linus, you just sold me on this one

[@TheGevShow]

Linus forgot to mention that you cab fit a 60mm thick 480 rad with push pull in the top because there is 90mm of room from the edge of the mobo to the top panel. And the that is not a fan controller it is a fan hub. Also the hot swap bay is vented. And there us a second led above the pci slots. Not only the i/o slot. Linus missed slot about this case. Best case I have ever seen.

[@TheGMontey]

Get the switch 810, the corsair is actually more expensive than the switch and is a mid tower. The switch 810 is full tower and will give you more room to upgrade and more flexibility to do what ever you want with your build and future builds.

[@TheMastercheif1598]

Yes it does support a 240mm rad in the top

[@zoroastrianmindset]

I love it. the only problem with this baby is that is full towel but, front another point of view it could be use a shoes storage.

[@Bhetacarn]

Oh yeah i love it, its so awesome, the case is a beast and looks clean. Also its super easy to install everything. People tell me its the coolest case they have seen. I myself have a black case with white lights.

[@Gusetron]

I like all your videos that show everything again and thanks for that but would not be bad subtitles.

[@Nagby3]

@EgyptUnderGroundArmy the build that he is working on is HIS rig unlike this case + he already managed to heavily mod his silverstone case

[@MrAniketShedge]

@Toffer161 those fans pull the air through the intake, all the way to the inside (so 2 fans) coz he HDD cage restricts airflow. btw, HDDs heat up, but very little (fans are generally not required in a well ventilated case, unless have a large, like 20+ RAID array in some server chassis) and SSDs generate negligible heat.

[@0Escaflowne0]

I have this case and a H100i and yep it fits perfectly you will have no trouble with it :)

[@JonD88]

I'm very, very impressed by the features on this case! :D tempting.

[@N3D2]

that LED feature near the I/O is good IMO

[@gloo699]

Correct, you can get in push/pull also!

[@jhanschu]

@stocker05 At 3:30 into the video Linus states that the radiator fit in the top and won't even take up any room inside the case. The rad is meant to fit in the interior with the fans up top. As i said, it would have to be a seriously thin rad to fit in that area. I don't even recall there being a triple radiator that thin.

[@SkyIineGTR]

wow this case looks really nice and clean

[@plpamparius]

getting this for my next build. looks great.

[@danTesDan]

That was a fast completed request ! Thanks a LOt!

[@eurosonly]

brand name, features stuff like that also color obviously. they charge up the price for white cases in general

[@eurosonly]

I've had this case since 2012. It's the best. Too bad they don't make it anymore and the closest thing to is is corsairs 750d case.

[@MuddyDuck1]

That's actually a pretty sick case.... I want one now.

[@gasturbat8]

The top closable vents are also good for keeping dust out of the case while the PC is off...:)

[@Boscoh12]

Got this last week, awesome case is awesome!

[@alexy626]

you forgot to mention that it has support for a double 140 or 120mm rad at the bottom

[@2005BigBob]

I think I just found my new Gaming Case :) loved the review Linus.

[@TheGuthrieH]

Yes it will fit easily.

[@skatagmt]

kinus actually there are 2 led lights at the back of the case, the other one is lower for the pci gabs

[@BlockShady]

Yeah you can, and they light up to let you know which ones actually have fans attached to them :)

[@harman7878]

@Toffer161 SSDs don't heat up,HDDs I'm pretty sure don't heat up too much. My HDD is about 33 degree Celsius and my computer doesn't have the best cooling.

[@BundymaniaReviews]

It´s a good case - i have the black version running with a watercooling setup

[@BboyScar1]

Got this case for $120! Great case, Gun metal colour looks so nice!

[@KrizSykx]

wow this is the longest unboxing and the most complete Linus EVER done for a case 0.0

[@Conntick]

was waiting for a review of this case! The (over)use of plastic is dissapointing, but you arent paying a huge premium for the case.

[@TheYonderGod]

@rupluttaja No AMD doesn't support PCI-e 3.0 yet, but PCI-e is backwards and forwards compatible, and no current or any time soon cards will use up the bandwidth of a 2.0 slot.

[@1Nuk3d1]

@TheGenesisfreak if you mean he's never done nzxt before, he's done the Phantom.

[@gutrenchladd]

great case overall.. only a couple things i wish were different and this is nit picking... wish the fan "hub" was an actual controller but thats nothin big...a proper "basement" would have been nice.. just for tidyness and all...maybe a cover that doesnt have to be removed seperately for the hotswap drive.. a full drive sled with a front would be nice...and the final thing... less plastic and more screws.... i cant agree with linus enough on how bad rivets are... i want more screws

[@OrangeLight08]

SICK CASE ! Thanx for the review/overview

[@Magmatwister]

Attention to detail is insane on this...

[@noflexdont]

Corsair needs to add some of these features when they update the 800D. I just spent hours modding my case to get my 240 rad in ad my dual bay res.

[@tallteolo213]

Yes even a triple 120mm Radiator means Custom watercooling

[@TurbidAttack954]

The cables are all sleeved so its all asthetically pleasing

[@kriss4oo]

Yes, yes, I was waiting for this review! Thanks for the video!

[@donvoisko]

one of the best cases ive ever seen. the fan controller, supporting all those fans...and double sided velcro... that blew me away. i think nzxt hired the most annoying geek to tell them what and where should they put :)

[@Matrixo2]

And this is why I watch multiple reviews of one product. Linus did an amazing job as always, but he did forget a few important facts that was mentioned in the HardwareCanucks review. Such as the cheap plastic feel, need to remove the top section of the 5.25" drive cage to mount a radiator, bottom of the case can mount 2 fans/Rad. and the drive sleds for the SSD's are positioned awkwardly and you need straight cables to access them etc etc.

[@LockStockNBarrel]

@ATIGames You can buy it in black.

[@MrSnapatya]

Its gone now in his newer videos, you may be happy and no longer have to fear it when you sleep at night.

[@winsevenholic]

GREAT presentation Linus. as always, love your videos. :)

[@dylanh182]

best looking case ive seen in a long time.

[@Chicane62]

i really like this case in the same way that i really liked my LAN boy. I will buy one for my next build mid this year
