NZXT On Trial: H1 V2 Fire Testing, Mini-ITX Case Review, & Thermals

NZXT gets a shot at redemption as we review the NZXT H1 V2 mini-ITX case, which is supposed to have resolved the fire issues (and also improved the case overall).

This video looks at NZXT's new H1 V2 case, affording the company the opportunity of redemption for its previously catastrophic handling of the NZXT H1. The company has revised its PCIe riser cable, but has also entirely revised the case, enough that the V2 makes sense as a refresh to replace the original. We'll look over build quality and thermals after covering the quality of the PCIe riser cable. One interesting issue we ran into was transient load survivability with high-end GPUs, but more on that in the video!
