Unsafe Computer Catches Fire: NZXT H1 Case & BLD Serious Problems

From the creator

We're demonstrating how NZXT's H1 case (or BLD prebuilt) can catch fire, diagnosing the electrical problem, and discussing whether it remains unsafe even with the new screws. Sponsor: Buy Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut on Amazon (https://geni.us/1D8Eeq) or Hydronaut paste (https://geni.us/Fsray) NZXT RESPONDS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnDWxiFvUtE Watch part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjUscSRLwks Please consider buying one of GN's Wireframe Mouse Mats, a high-quality desk-size mousing surface with custom blue rubber underside, blue stitched borders, and a high-quality print with PC component design. This is the best way to support our expensive, in-depth research pieces like this one. IN STOCK & SHIPPING NOW! https://store.gamersnexus.net/products/gn-wireframe-mouse-mat Like our content?

In short, we believe that NZXT is shorting 12V to ground, which can turn the trace at fault into a tiny heating element that ignites a fire. If you have not yet replaced the screws in the riser, please do it immediately -- but we're also concerned that the riser itself remains problematic since we believe there may be an exposed trace in the PCB.
