Posted this info on January 31, 2021

Just a heads up for anyone who owns this case, or looking to purchase one of these cases.

Quote From Gamers Nexus

We believe the NZXT H1 case PCIe riser poses a long-term risk in the event metal screws find their way into them. NZXT needs to fix this beyond just plastic screws. Watch part 1 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XIKO... Although some people have complained of the NZXT H1 overheating, others had more literal issues with overheating. In part 1, we showed how the NZXT H1 case's PCIe riser has the potential to cause a fire. This is something that NZXT itself formally stated at the end of November, but it's still rolling-out fixes now entering 3 months later. NZXT previously noted the US Consumer Product Safety Commission got involved and that the two parties settled on a nylon screw "fix" or "repair kit" for the NZXT H1s that are in the field. We're concerned that (1) a lot of people have voiced online, shown in this video, that they've been waiting multiple months for these simple nylon screws, and (2) this is not the root cause of the issue, which is the PCIe riser. If someone ever uses this riser again and out of context (whether they forgot why the nylon screws were there, never knew why, or bought it second-hand), it's possible that a fire will burn-up whatever GPU is plugged into it. The more connection cycles these PCIe risers go through, the more risk there is, by our testing.
