In a nutshell: The U.s.a. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has announced the NZXT H1 PC example is being officially recalled over a design fault that makes the vertical chassis a fire adventure.

Concluding November, NZXT stopped sales of the H1 following reports of the two screws used for attaching the PCIe riser associates to the chassis causing an electric brusk circuit, posing a fire adventure. The company says it has received 11 reports of "circuit boards overheating or catching burn down worldwide, six of which occurred in the The states."

NZXT has been using a temporary ready that offers owners nylon screws to supersede the metal ones, only this doesn't address the problem's root crusade.

Tech aqueduct Gamers Nexus has been investigating the situation from the starting time. Information technology found that the problem wasn't with the screws but the PCB design. Gamers Nexus called NZXT's behavior "appallingly irresponsible and negligent." The company eventually apologized, promising to remove the instance from its stores and send out redesigned riser assemblies.

NZXT is still working on a permanent set for the H1. Meanwhile, the CPSC and the Regime of Canada just appear the official retrieve. Since the case was launched in Feb 2022, 32,000 units accept been sold in the US and 1,024 in Canada. Consumers have been brash to "immediately terminate using the recalled estimator cases and contact NZXT for a complimentary repair kit."

It's a distressing situation as the H1 case received enough of love before the issues came to light. We liked it so much that the H1 was a 'Best Mini-ITX' pick in our All-time PC Cases feature, though we didn't know near the burn dangers at the time, patently.
