This is great! Please do more. Mine arrived today and the noise level is driving me nuts. Ordering today straight to Vegas! Should’ve have gambled on stock fan being any good! Thanks!
Finally a video on upgrading the fan, Thank you! I'll be doing this upgrade too now. Looking forward to see if you'll do the mini-fan mod for the GPU side.
I will be! Currently I'm really busy with some personal things but I have about 6 more NZXT H1 videos planned that're all about upgrading and modding it. Hopefully I'll be able to start working on them in about a week or two!
@@rashbalash Awesome! I’ll be looking out for them. I just got my H1 and need more H1 content. It’s an awesome case but doesn’t seem to be getting a lot of love rn!
@@katietree4949 I’m open to all options. I just did the Noctua upgrade. I’m a noob when it comes to Pc’s so I was so nervous 😂 any tutorial for the upgrade you suggested? Thanks, I need all the help I can get!
Good to see simple mods improve things significantly. One thing I'm wonderin though, you shouldn't really be getting these high temps at gaming. I had an H1 for 3 years now and the CPU was always fairly cool, mostly at like 70 degrees. 95 is insanely high. When my AIO broke and the water didn't flow properly anymore, it was at 95-100 degrees
Hey! Yeah so you're exactly right, my AIO was actually messed up and I was pretty ignorant of the issue and temps when I made this video. I've since gotten a new AIO and the temps are mostly around 70 degrees now.
good video. the 2 sec sound clip showing the difference between the two fan is your money maker. in future, 1 slide showing all results side by side will help you and viewers.
Firstly, this isn't a critisim, just an observation. At 4:29 you say that the Noctua didn't have to ramp up that much, but the temp was at 95 degrees C, which is quite hot! Given that under extreme load the Noctua fans sound basically silent compared to the NZXT ones, is there a reason you're not running them faster to bring the temps down further?
Hey! Sorry for the really delayed response, also I really appreciate the feedback. You're definitely right. I placed an importance on sound over the temps, which was why I didn't end up ramping it up. That being said, it's likely damaging the CPU in the long-run and probably hurting performance. That's something i'll focus on fixing in my future videos!
Great vid! I recently purchased the H1 as my first PC and the noise level is insane so after watching this I also decided to upgrade my fan just like yours. Problem is, I don't know where to plug the Noctua 4pin cable to. How did you connect yours? Did you connect it straight to the motherboard or to the NZXT fan controller thing?
Hey! Sounds like you might have the H1 V2? With the newer revision of this case, you can plug it into either the motherboard or your NZXT Fan Controller. I plugged mine into a regular fan header on my motherboard. In your case, I would recommend plugging it into wherever the NZXT 140mm fan was previously plugged in and simply follow the same wiring!
I would go with the V2, it has more space for a GPU, an extra fan for the gpu which should improve temps, and an extra IO port! Theres no difference in the CPU AIO fan size though
Hey! You’re right, I just included that in this video I just made: ruclips.net/video/FMf0HCsgnXY/видео.html Still working on my testing methods and ways to log data.
Hey! It’s something that I can test out and will be sure to talk about in a future video. initial thoughts are that it may be similar, the A12x25 are really good fans!
@@rashbalash Actually I recently bought the NZXT H1 V2 and built a PC, just like you I replaced the PSU to Corsair SF750, and I used the Noctua A12x25 with mounting kit for the AIO. When not gaming just everyday use my CPU sits around 33 to 40C, during gaming it's around 55 to 60C 😀
@@rashbalash Was the fan swap done on a H1 V1 or V2? Asking because the V2 is bigger and comes with an extra fan. That would already give it better results.
@@rashbalash i want to give it a try as well. In regards of the two 15mm fans is this regarding what you showed in the vid? And are they 120mm or 140mm?
@@uhhh684 These are 25mmx140mm fans in the video, 120mm will need an adapter to work with the included radiator such as this: tinyurl.com/120to140adapter
Damn I have a R9 5800X and it keeps randomly shutting off due to the cpu volts spiking causing the temps to rise quickly, and overheat. Do you know Anyway I can turn this shutoff feature off?
Unfortunately most motherboards that i know of have a locked threshold for which the computer will automatically turn off. But this seems more like a cooling issue, because your computer needs to surpass 105 C. I would first check your cooling solution and that everything is setup correctly. It could be the AIO is having issues. If it’s not that, let me know and I’ll do some more digging!
@@rashbalash thank you, so I purchased this PC and saw it had a graphene thermal pad and thought all good, but just to be sure I was going to put on new paste. decided to clean the cpu and saw it had thermal paste below the thermal pad! That was definitely the source of my problems. It did not shut off after I cleaned it. that stock cooler did alright, but I decided to get another cooling solution and rigged a 240mm AiO to it! Some guy on Etsy hooked me up with a 3D printed rear bracket for the radiator to fit in.
Hey! So I tested this out, I haven’t been able to edit the video but wanted to let you know my findings: Overall, The cpu performs better with the radiator fan as the intake. It’s also a bit quieter as it cools the inside a bit better with the hot air getting blown out the back.

wow super helpful. I'm a big time pc gamah with an H1 case.
Woah I too am a big time pc gamah with an H1 case :) wanna meet up?
Thanks for the insightful video comparison. I have a NZXT H1 Mini Plus, would this same Noctua A14 fan still fit as a replacement?
This will help me buy my first PC!

@@arielsumendap7795 Absolutely! Glad to help :) thank you for watching!
@rashbalash I like the video colors. Looks like an 80s VHS video.
What about fitting a12*25 fans at the back to exhaust air from the case or push fresh air onto GPU?
It's a good idea! I'll be making some videos about adding fans to the case so I'll add this one to the list :)
H1 V2 or V1?
Is there a difference in fan size between them?
I would go with the V2, it has more space for a GPU, an extra fan for the gpu which should improve temps, and an extra IO port! Theres no difference in the CPU AIO fan size though
dude 100 degree with watercooling? you can cook with this hahaha
Hahaha yeah, its much better now though. I think the original thermalpaste was really bad
what about the fan rpm? how fast was each fan spinning??
Hey! You’re right, I just included that in this video I just made: ruclips.net/video/FMf0HCsgnXY/видео.html
Still working on my testing methods and ways to log data.
thx.
How does this A14 fan perform compared to if you use a noctua A12x25 on a 140mm to 120mm mount in the NZXT H1?
Hey! It’s something that I can test out and will be sure to talk about in a future video. initial thoughts are that it may be similar, the A12x25 are really good fans!

@@alexqiu1758 That's incredible! Way better than what I'm getting actually. I'll definitely have to check this out
@@rashbalash Was the fan swap done on a H1 V1 or V2? Asking because the V2 is bigger and comes with an extra fan. That would already give it better results.
@@carlsegin Hey! This was done on the V1 of the NZXT H1
Hey bro, my fan sounds like it’s running at full RPM, how did you manage to take control of this after the swap out?
Hey! I would check your BIOS settings. I have a custom fan curve so that the fan only ramps up when the CPU surpasses 65 degrees.
Hey, Robby! did you get it figured out? I currently have mine as quiet as can be until I hit about 50 C and then it ramps up to high RPM
@@colophus1735 You can usually find and customize fan speed from ur BIOS personally I have a gigabyte Motherboard and allowed me to customize in BIOS
Have you try noctua nf a14 3000rpm industrial ipcc fan ?
Is 1500rpm fast enough? I don't know a lot about fans but wondering if I go for 1500rpm or higher for the Noctua?
This fan is max 1500 rpm, performance fans are 2000 rpm in general. NH-A12x25 is better about that. You will never regret.
I was gonna get this case but the temps put me off
didn't even know you made this vid. i wanna use the 15mm and see if i can do a push pull on this aio.
Now that you mention it, this could potentially be the best method for cooling in this case. I have two 15mm noctua fans so I’ll have to give it a try
@@rashbalash i want to give it a try as well. In regards of the two 15mm fans is this regarding what you showed in the vid? And are they 120mm or 140mm?

I'm getting the Artic P14, I think that's supposed to be the best fan for this case.
I’ll have to give that a try!
How did you get around the fan screws not being long enough? I’ve just tried the p14 and the screws don’t go all the way through the fan

Have you tried setting the radiator fan as intake?
No I haven’t actually! I’ll try that out and make a short video about it today or tomorrow
Hey I haven’t been able to make the video just yet and have a last minute trip, but I’ll be making it when I’m back next week!

lol not just the color but also focus is off
Yeah something I am def still working on. I need to get a monitor so I can see the live feedback on my videos while recording!
