ShortCircuit's NZXT H2 Giveaway Got 36,066 Actions

On February 17, 2026, ShortCircuit put its NZXT H2 Flow review video at the top of a Gleam giveaway and offered the PC from the review as the prize. NZXT and Intel came in as partners. 17 days later, 4,746 Entrants had completed 36,066 Actions.

ShortCircuit has run 465 giveaways on Gleam in 10 years. Many of those were built with hardware brands such as NZXT and Intel, and ShortCircuit uses them for hardware launches, brand collaborations, promoting its own videos and growing communities.

What ShortCircuit and Its Partners Wanted

ShortCircuit and the two brands had four goals for this one.

• Get more people watching and interacting with the video

• Put NZXT and Intel in front of ShortCircuit’s viewers

• Grow the NZXT x Intel Club and each brand’s social following

• Measure all of it in one place

ShortCircuit had found that one-step giveaways drew Entrants but the engagement didn’t last. So it gave every goal its own Action.

The Entry Widget, Action by Action

ShortCircuit embedded its NZXT H2 Flow review video in the entry widget. Below it, Entrants could earn entries on YouTube, X, Instagram and the NZXT x Intel Club.

• Visit on YouTube for ShortCircuit, NZXT and Intel Gaming

• Follow on X for NZXT, IntelGaming and ShrtCrctYT

• Follow NZXT on Instagram

• A Custom Action to join the NZXT x Intel Club

Across its giveaways, ShortCircuit has also asked Entrants to repost on social and to enter secret codes revealed inside its video content. To get those entries, you had to watch.

17 Days, Three Brands

The giveaway ran from February 17 to March 5, 2026. The prize was an NZXT H2 Mini PC listed at over $3,499, built on an NZXT H2 Flow case with an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 and an NZXT Kraken Elite 240.

ShortCircuit’s review video sat at the top of the widget. Every YouTube, X and Instagram Action pointed at one of the three brands’ accounts, so each partner got its own visits and follows out of the same giveaway.

36,066 Actions From 4,746 Entrants

The giveaway turned 21,622 Impressions into 4,746 Entrants, a 21.95% Conversion Rate. Those Entrants completed 36,066 Actions, about 7.6 each.

Visit ShortCircuit on YouTube was the most completed Action at 4,094, with NZXT (3,983) and Intel Gaming (3,965) close behind. Each brand’s channel got almost as many visits as ShortCircuit’s own.

The Action to join the NZXT x Intel Club was completed 3,454 times. The four follow Actions on X and Instagram each landed between 2,059 and 2,175. These were the eight most completed Actions in the report.

Key Growth Takeaways

ShortCircuit turned 21,622 Impressions into 4,746 Entrants in 17 days with NZXT and Intel as partners. So what can you take from its giveaways?

• Embed the review video above the Actions. ShortCircuit put its NZXT H2 Flow review at the top of the widget and offered the PC from that review, and Entrants went on to complete 36,066 Actions. If your prize has a video, embed it at the top of your widget.

• Give each partner its own Actions. NZXT and Intel Gaming got 3,983 and 3,965 YouTube visits, close to ShortCircuit’s own 4,094. Add a visit and a follow Action for every sponsor so each can count its own results.

• Turn the partner club into an Action. A Custom Action to join the NZXT x Intel Club was completed 3,454 times. If a sponsor runs a club or community, add a Custom Action that links to its sign-up page.

• Build one Action for each goal. ShortCircuit found one-step giveaways drew Entrants who didn’t stay engaged, so it gave each of its four goals an Action and got about 7.6 Actions per Entrant. List what you and each partner want, then build an Action for each.

• Hide codes inside your videos. In some of its 465 giveaways, ShortCircuit has asked Entrants for secret codes revealed in its videos. Add a Secret Code Action so the bonus entry goes to people who watched.
