Product: Pavilion 690-0073w
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi I’m getting an HP Pavilion 690-0073w soon and I would like to know if it is possible that in the near future I could case swap to a case like the NZXT h510. I know this could bring problems that may result in getting new parts but does anyone know the exact problems if there are any?

@Fnunez1 , welcome to the forum.

 

HP has their motherboards made to their specifications.  Therefore, they are not necessarily the same as a retail board.  The first possible problem would be that the holes in the motherboard don't match the stand-offs in the case.  This could cause a short and damage the entire system.  The only other possible problem that I know about is the front connectors for the case may not match what is on the motherboard.

 

Your best option is to choose a case and contact the manufacturer's Tech Support for help.  They are the experts on their products and should be able to tell you if the case is compatible with the motherboard.
