[SOLVED] Looking for case like h510

[yaboibaron]

Hey all recently got a 3080 and my case is just not cutting it anymore for cooling. I have the NZXT H510 which we all know isn’t the best case for airflow at all. Are there any cases like it that are good?are there any cases this size that are better airflow? My 3080 is running in the like 80’s for games. I definitely need to upgrade

NZXT's own H700 series, which was their direct response to the H500's shortcomings.
If you want to stick with their style, that's the next best thing.

Tysm! not a huge fan that they havent done a mesh front yet. going to go with a lian li 2 cool mesh probably!

I'm curious, what's wrong with the temp using 3080?

I have h510i and not encountering any temp issues both GPU and CPU. I render 4k videos by the way.

Ryzen 7 3700x + Sapphire Nitro 5700x

How do you have your cooling set up?
People tend to get this chassis and 'put too much in it', i.e., both high power cpu and gpu, when the chassis really isn't designed to deal with that kind of heat load.

Your current combo isn't that bad; a 3700X doesn't add that much to the heat being exhausted inside the chassis. You could throw a 30USD cooler on it, and it still wouldn't have thermal issues.
That said, I'm also not familiar with how hard your work is on the gpu... and even if it is a constant 100% load, we're still talking a 220w card(Nitro 5700XT) Vs a ~350w(3080)?
That's HUGE.

Oh ok, I didn't know that 3080 is 350w. Perhaps that's the reason why the OP is having thermal issues.

I just have 3 fans, and wraith prism. Very minimalist setup.

 

[Phaaze88]

Yep. As you can see, the H500 just has those 2 fan slots for exhaust.
Gonna be problematic with certain setups.
