I bought an Arctic Liquid Freezer Pro 360mm AIO without checking whether it would fit my NZXT H510 first. The case has a mostly solid front panel with only narrow side vents, and it appears to have limited fan mounting near the top and rear. Can this case properly fit and cool a 360mm radiator, or should I replace the case or cooler?

The H510 does not support a 360mm radiator. Its front mounting area is designed for smaller radiators, and the restricted front ventilation would also make airflow less than ideal. You’ll need either a different case that supports a 360mm AIO or a smaller cooler that fits this case.
Replacing the case is probably the easiest option since you already have the 360mm cooler. Look for a case with a ventilated front or top panel and explicit 360mm radiator support. Options such as the Fractal Design North XL or NZXT H7 Flow would be much better suited than the H510.
Am I basically stuck replacing one of them? Do you have any case recommendations?
