NZXT withdraws H1 Mini-ITX chassis from the market

In a chic case from the eminent brand NZXT, presented on the market in winter 2020, a problem was discovered. As a result, NZXT is withdrawing the H1 chassis from the Mini-ITX market. The reason lies in the imperfect design of the system unit. This could cause a short circuit and fire of the computer components inside the case.

 

 

NZXT withdraws H1 Mini-ITX chassis from market: details

 

The problem lies in one of the case bolts that hold the PCI Express riser in place. It closes the connectors on the PCI-E x16 board. In most cases, the built-in 650W GOLD series power supply detects a short circuit and de-energizes the system. But there are isolated cases when the protection in the power supply unit did not work. The video card and nearby system components are on fire.

 

 

How to fix the problem with a short circuit in the NZXT case, the manufacturer found. And even offers two ready-made solutions. NZXT is withdrawing the commercially available Mini-ITX chassis H1 from the market. Devices are returned to the factory and reworked. And users who have already bought the case are offered free repair kits and instructions for eliminating the defect at home.

 

 

How not to recall our beloved Chinese brand Xiaomi, which for a long time did not recognize the problem with Redmi Note 9. NZXT is an American brand for which its own authority is more important than financial gain. On the other hand, they send out repair kits to users for free. And sealed Mini-ITX H1 cases are withdrawn from sale and returned to the factory. By the way, we have a wonderful NZXT H700i Case Overview.
