Customers recognize the H1 SFF Mini ITX case's small size and ease of use as major advantages, frequently praising its included high-wattage power supply and AIO cooler. Many appreciate the case's value and pre-installed components, simplifying the building process. However, some users note that the case can be noisy, particularly the AIO fan. The positive feedback on the build quality and included components outweighs the negative comments about noise levels.
This is probably the best mini-ITX case I've ever worked with, I had built a few PCs for other people with this case and finally decided to get one myself. There are a couple of issues, which I will get out of the way first. Price: The full retail price of $400 is pretty steep, miniITX cases usually cost a little more, but that is a lot for a PC case. It is frequently on sale for $200 which is a much better price and very fair for the build quality and included accessories. I've been told that $400 is a fair price for the H1 because it includes the cooler and PSU, which brings me to my next point AIO Cooler and PSU: The included cooler and power supply are great in the sense that they perfectly fit the case, are pre installed with thoughtful cable routing already taken care of. However, pump on the cooler is a little noisy for my liking, and the fan on the PSU was also audible. I ended up replacing both. My build: ASUS ROG STRIX B650E-I Ryzen 7 7700 64GB DDR5-6200 RTX 3070Ti Seasoonic SPX-750 PSU Noctua NH-L12 Heatsink Noctua NF-A14 Fan Custom perforated wooden front grill from JakeFaceCustoms on etsy. Using the Noctua heatsink in this case was easy, and by removing the AIO radiator I was able to easily install the 140 Noctua fan as an intake, it fits snug with the top of the heatsink. The seasonic PSU is quieter than the NZXT that comes with the case and cable length is appropriate for the case. With this configuration the PC runs silent most of the time and fans only ramp up under a heavy load. However even under sustained load, running benchmarks, I was never seeing a CPU temperature over 75 degrees and fans never had to ramp to 100% to keep the processor cool. The GPU fans can make some noise when gaming, but there is plenty of fresh air available through the side mesh (and front mesh if you replace the glass) so it never gets too loud and is quite unobtrusive on my desk. It's quite incredible to be able to pack this much performance into this small box and maintain adequate cooling, using only off the shelf components that are easy to service and maintain.

Really nice case that takes up little room in my desk. The reinstalled PSU and AIO makes it an easy build. Temps have been good so fair but I replaced the stock fans with Noctuas for a little less noise. Definitely recommend it if it’s on sale for $200

This case pretty much simplifies the SFF building experience in a nice, clean case. Was a able to fit a 4070ti Slim from MSI in this case with zero issues. The PSU was also able to manage a 12900k with it with no issues. The included AIO also handled its temperatures jusr fine while under gaming load. I wouldnt recommend overclocking though with such a small AIO. Cable management is pretty much laid out for you as well so the whole build process is mainly plug and play. Case is decently ventilated and since the GPU is behind the motherboard, it’s heat kind of stay seperate in it’s own chamber. All and all this case was a breeze to build in and would recommend it to any first time SFF builders.
