HYTE Y60 Modern Aesthetic Dual Chamber Panoramic Tempered Glass Mid-Tower ATX Computer Gaming Case with PCIE 4.0 Riser Cable Included, White (CS-HYTE-Y60-BW)

Great aesthetic look. Cable management was a breeze and easy to hide for a clean look. Real tempered glass vs plastic. Lots of room and easy to access areas of case to do build out.Only downsides. If you have bigger video card (3 slot) like a 4080 super or 4090 you will need to buy a slanting mount or you will need to buy aftermarket side Plexiglas side panel with a vent design cut in it or run without the side glass on it. There is zero room for the card fans to get air. Other option is get a Hyte Y70 which is wider and accommodates 3 slot cards.

I’ll keep this quick. I went for a 1440p @ 100 fps system.Intel i7 13700k w/ DeepCool AK620DDR5 MemoryRadeon 6700 XT (to keep it under budget)Pros: Easy to build in. I converted the set up from liquid cooling to air cooling and have yet to thermal throttle in synthetic tests or extended gaming. CPU is never above 75* while gaming, GPU floats around 70*-90* depending on the game. If you are building a similar system, stick fans in it in a positive pressure configuration that doesn’t clash and you’ll be set.Paint and finish is surprisingly good. No chipped paint, no smeary scratches, no wear marks that I didn’t put on the case by accident. Oops. I went with the Snow White (white interior & exterior) and I never noticed any glaring build or quality issues.There’s plenty of space inside to do a custom water loop. DOUBLE CHECK that any fat radiator you have will fit!Absolutely tons of tie down areas. If you want to cable tie cables, there’s a spot in a well thought out location to do so.Aesthetics are great, but that’s 100% subjective and honestly doesn’t matter toooo much.Cons: Mostly small and things out of company control. Mine lightly was damaged. Those small quick clips that secure glass and plastic panels were broken on one of the glass panels. I don’t think it was manufacturing but was due to shipping. The case is shipped with all glass installed, so maybe in shipping all the jostling broke those plastic clips? Maybe the company can figure out a different way to ship with the glass side panel off.Some of the case screws are really tight. They paint the screw threads themselves, and combined with the painted case makes very tight screws. Threading & unthreading strips the paint off the screw threads, which is normal. But kinda annoying when you can just paint the screw heads to avoid all of it.The instructions don’t include how to take off the PCIE riser cable to upgrade it, if you can even do that. It’s a PCIE 4.0 according to manufacturer, so when I upgrade GPU I will need to upgrade that. I’d like to not go in blind and undo all the screws and possible mess something up. Please update the manual.

The Y40, which is the smaller of Hyte’s PC case lineup ended up being perfect for my pc build. This case looks great, is well made, and has all the features I was looking for. I love the way my GPU sits in front on its side using the included riser cable. There are multiple locations to mount cooling fans and liquid cpu coolers. I used an older Cooler Master liquid cooler, which has short hoses running to the cpu. Having the ability to mount the cooler in different locations allowed me to not have to buy a new cooler.There are multiple hidden locations to add a SSD and a standard hard drive.I cannot find a single thing I don’t like about this case yet. I will update my review if I find anything. I did swap out the fans for that added RGB flavor. The fans that come with the case are good quality, but are not rgb.I will definitely be looking at HYTE cases again on my next build.
