We’ll keep this section very brief since we’ve already reviewed most aspects of this case, but it’s worth mentioning a couple points again. First, the top and front panels are an enormous pain to remove. They’re held on with stiff clips, and the best method for defeating them is to yank the front panel violently from the bottom edge and then yank the top panel violently from the front edge. This MUST be done to remove the front filter, replace fans, or take out the radiator/fan tray at the top of the case, and it runs the risk of snapping the spindly 4.5cm clips or curving the panels and creating a gap between the front and top panels. The fan tray is still very nice, by the way--it’s held in with thumbscrews and can be flipped upside-down to move it higher away from the motherboard, and we’d like to see a similar tray at the front of the case. In total, the H710i has room for up to seven 2.5-inch drives and two 3.5-inch drives, but not all at the same time. At the bottom of a case is a hard drive cage that can hold either two 3.5-inch drives or four 2.5-inch drives. Two more 2.5-inch drives can mount behind the motherboard tray. As you can all see the top and front area around the left side panel is perforated so air can reach the fans inside. If you are looking for a recommendation, the NZXT PCIe Riser Cable is an excellent choice that not only meets these requirements, but also provides PCIe 4.0 compatibility. Can the Aer Trim be installed on the included fans? The H710i or the I version comes with the Smart Device and two pre-installed LED strips. Through CAM software, it can handle the integrated LED lighting settings and fan control.
Prior to load testing, we collect idle temperature results for ten minutes to determine the unloaded cooling performance of a case's fans and air channels. Thermal benchmarking is conducted for 1400 seconds (23 minutes), a period we've determined sufficient for achieving equilibrium. The over-time data is aggregated and will occasionally be compiled into charts, if interesting or relevant. The equilibrium performance is averaged to create the below charts. The H710i is a superb case, and the limited-edition Cyberpunk version takes the design to a whole new level. It's gorgeous to look at. If you're a fan of the H series from NZXT and need a new gaming PC case to build your next dream rig inside (and plan on playing some Cyberpunk 2077), this is the case to go for. It's a little on the pricey side, but well worth it. As with most spacious mid-towers the H710i has no drive cages on the left side and yes, it's got plenty of room inside.
This is the best-looking H710i case, period.
Just like in the past the CAM software can be used to monitor your PC, give you its specs and of course control its OC and cooling (when compatible devices are present). PC cases not only protect your motherboard, processor, and graphics card from debris, dust, and other environmental hazards, but they also provide ventilation for your motherboard, processor, and graphics card, ensuring that everything stays nice and cool. As always, the purpose of this section is not to build a functional system but rather to showcase what you can expect from the case at hand in terms of interior space.
As mentioned above, both the NZXT H710 and H710i PC case models have the same SGCC steel and tempered glass side panels, which act as a window into the interior of the PC cases. This PSU-mounting solution may sound more complicated than simply inserting the PSU through the side of the case, but I actually find this system can work better in practice. It may require more screwing and unscrewing, but it’s easier than trying to align the PSU in place from the side while you fasten it into place with the other hand. It also helps you route your power cabling more efficiently as you slide in the box gradually from the rear panel. On this side we also see the front radiator area, cable management channels, two more SSD trays, 3,5" drive cage and the PSU area. All dimensions and specs are the same, but the H710i has better lighting and control thanks to the inclusion of NZXT’s Smart Device V2. The CAM controller, the LED strips, the full complement of four fans, and the H710i’s minimalist design also distinguish it from the entry-level model, H710.
Clean looks meet innovative design.
The H710 and H710i PC cases share the same measurement having 230 mm (9.06 in) width x 516 mm (20.31 in) height x 494 mm (19.45 in) depth with its feet. They are both made of SGCC steel and tempered glass and weigh around 12.1kg. The fans included with the H710 and H710i are Case Edition fans. While performing similar to our standard Aer F fans, the Case Edition fans do not include the ability to swap the external trim and are not compatible with the Aer Trim kit. Do I need a USB 3.1 Gen 2 connector to be able to use the USB Type-C port on the top of the case?
Small details have been made in other areas too, including red thumb screws and PCI slot shields on the rear of the case. Popping off the glass side window opens up the vast innards of the H710i. Inside, you'll see a small plaque to showcase the fact this is indeed a limited-edition case. Then there's a red-painted metal bar that reaches the top of the case from the PSU shroud. If you want a high-quality PC case with an ergonomic design, the NZXT PC cases are probably what you’re looking for. The NZXT H-series PC cases are expertly crafted PC cases with some outstanding features at an affordable price. GPU torture averaged 50.4C dT, down to 46.5C dT with the front panel removed. Like the CPU test, this isn’t a huge jump and it means we can’t criticize NZXT’s front panel design too heavily, although it could be improved. All three front intake slots are filled, there’s a big air intake cutout under the bottom edge of the front panel, the PSU shroud has a decent section removed at the front, and there are plenty of perforations on the top of the shroud. We taped over the shroud as part of our old H700i review and didn’t see any real change in performance, but it certainly doesn’t hurt, and now that the HDD cage is shorter it’s possible for the bottom intake fan to move some air over it and through the shroud. The entire left side panel is made out of tempered glass and is held in place with a single thumbscrew.Worth mentioning is that if you own other NZXT compatible devices you can sync the effects with those as well and you can control attached fans. If you’re familiar with the H700i, you’ll notice that the H710i doesn’t do a whole lot different here compared to that first iteration. However that’s not a bad thing, as the H710i’s internal layout is nothing short of impressive. No expense has been spared when it comes to ensuring your build experience is as seamless and pleasant as possible. While temperatures were higher than they could have been with better access to air, NZXT was comfortable at the time to mix form with function. For the new NZXT H7 range, the company has redesigned how the cases both take and exhaust air. The NZXT H7 Flow is the biggest change here with the perforated front panel. It is recommended to use a riser cable with a minimum length of 200mm with a right-angle connector. While you can use a straight connector with the case, it may not look the cleanest when the system is assembled. There's an RGB and fan controller that's installed just behind this bar and is hooked up to two RGB LED strips preinstalled by NZXT at the factory. There's space for an additional RGB channel, but all three fan ports are occupied by three fan splitters ready for all your favorite case blowers.
