NZXT Switch 810 Case Review

Inside the NZXT Switch 810 (Cont’d)

The NZXT Switch 810 comes with a 140 mm fan attached to its upper hard drive cage, and you can install a 120 mm or 140 mm fan on the side of the lower hard drive cage. These fans can be tilted, so you can direct the air flow to the exact component you want to cool down.

The power supply is installed at the bottom of the case. It can be installed with either its bottom fan facing up or facing down, so you can decide if you want the fan of your power supply pulling air from inside the case or from outside of it. As already discussed, the case comes with an air filter for the power supply fan. The NZXT Switch 810 supports power supplies up to 9” (230 mm) deep if a 140 mm fan is installed on the bottom panel, which is more than enough to accommodate virtually any power supply available on the market.

The reviewed case supports the installation of a 120 mm or 140 mm fan on its bottom panel, and by removing the lower hard drive cage you can install a second 120 mm or 140 mm fan. There is an air filter outside the case for these fans, as previously shown. You can also use the space for these fans to install components of liquid cooling solutions, as shown in Figure 20, including a 240 mm radiator.

The case comes with a “power hub” located behind the motherboard tray for you to power all fans using a single connector coming from the power supply. You can, of course, install fans directly on the motherboard if you want to monitor their speed.
