    I hate this new UA-cam comments layout. Not sure if anyone else has it. Anyway, the case reviews are FULLY BACK into rotation! Super excited about this! We debuted the new testing with the North XL, but now we've 100% locked-in our test hardware, heat load, and tests. Will have a methods piece on it now that it's done. What's the interest level in the Antec C8 and the Corsair 6500? We're considering running those next. Let us know!
    Watch our Fractal North XL review that kicked off the new testing! We've updated some tests since then, too! ua-cam.com/video/aQHKCjuYTVQ/v-deo.html

      It'd be nice if you could please check out the H6 Flow by NZXT, I'm curious as to if its diagonally-placed front fans are more effective as opposed to, say the Lian Li O11's front fan design. Additionally, at least here in Canada, it's a fair bit cheaper than most of the other panoramic cases, which makes it a unique option. Have a great day Steve!

      For what its worth, I went from a mid/mid-full case to a Fractal Terra build recently and I love it. At least based on the Terra, Fractal really has some crazy good attention to detail and style, better than Corsair in my opinion right now, and before this Corsair was my go to.

    I just built a new rig (finally!) last week, and I was really torn between a Hyte case and the Fractal North. I ended getting the North XL cause it came 3 pre wired 120x fans. Saved me ~$45. But to be honest the real reason I chose fractal is I learned ibuypower was associated with Hyte. Maybe thats not fair, but its just how my thought process went. I will say though, in general, it is so worth paying a premium for a nice case. It just makes everything so much easier.
    Keep up the great work guys!!

    Logos, logos, logos! Logos everywhere! Sometimes it does get excessive. I am reminded of your "Unhinged Rant About Motherboards" with all the logos and edgy one liners like, "Hardcore Born Gamer" or whatever written across the product. It can actually impact my decision to buy. Two products that come to mind are the Asus TUF Z790 pro tat says something like "Last One Standing" and "Got Your Back" and "ULTIMATE FORCE" all squeezed on the I/O cover. The other is the Dark Base Pro 901 case. It just has "DARK BASE PRO" stamped large enough to see from the space station stamped on the PSU shroud. It's tacky. Nowadays when you build a rig, it often looks like it belongs on a NASCAR track.

      I've been thinking the same. I'm considering the Fractal Pop, but I don't know how it works once you populate that bay with a drive. Can you still put the cover over the top to keep it looking classy, is that cover weird to remove over and over whenever you need the drive, does it look super silly if you leave the cover off... etc etc. Seems like all the reviews I've seen just say "yep, it as a 5.25 bay if you're some weirdo who still wants it..." and I say "Well, I'm that weirdo... so... how well does it work?"
      EDIT/UPDATE:
      I hadn't looked into it in a while, and after a quick search:
      it doesn't look too bad with the cover removed (but definitely not as sleek). It would be pretty cool if they sold a faceplate (or two side wings) that class it up a little. I suppose I don't use an optical drive THAT often (couple dozen times a year?), so I could just remove the cover when needed. I mostly burn discs for old systems or occasionally access old file/video backups.
      As a bonus I see people using the second bay to slap-in a flash memory reader which I definitely miss having on my old build (instead of a random USB thing flopped on my desk).

      You can still get fractal core 1000s. No space for cable management, but you can route them behind the mounting bracket for your storage drives, or under the 5.25 Bay. Only has two 120mm intake fan mounts on the front and side, though. And one 92mm rear fan. So I wouldn't put top spec components inside it.

      @@alecjahn You can still put the cover on the pop if you put a 5.25 drive into it, the clips for the cover are not blocked by the drive but the cover will obviously prevent use of the drive if its on. Problem is the huge PSU shroud makes it so your GPU has no airflow, id pass if you have a 3 slot or bigger card.

    @BudgetGamer92 5 місяців тому +1

    I've got a black Y60 and absolutely love it! The build quality as you said Steve is outstanding. I'm happy to see them continue that route while making improvements. I'm torn about the fans not being included, they probably realize that most people who are building a PC are going to either have their own fans or want to install an entire ecosystem like Corsair. So rather than the consumer having to uninstall all the case fans to put their own in they just stopped putting them in. Granted they need to be charging less for this because of that, I can't see the size making the components that much more than the Y60.
    That AIO they make is amazing and wish I had waited a few months before I built my system kus I would have saved a lot of time and money dealing with Corsair -_- I'd never buy a Corsair case especially if it's got that classic Corsair markup, with a crappy build quality... just like all their other products. HYTE is killing it! I can't believe a company copied them completely, didn't even try to hide it... and failed lol the case looks like it was made by children lol

    I bought the Y60 last year. I added a LCD screen inside the case (with a 3D printed piece). I chose the Y60 over the Lian-Li 011D as I thought it was more aesthetically pleasing especially with my end goal of a high-end liquid cooled build. I looked at the Fractal North and while beautiful wasn't for me, as I'm not into the minimalist aesthetic and it would hide components I wanted to display. Your review is spot on though. The thermals are an issue especially with the 40 series of GPUs as I've had to remove the side glass panel to allow for better airflow until I find the time to modify my GPU to be liquid cooled.

For me the touchscreen would take away from whats inside for me personally. I really liked how easy it was to pass cables through the gromets for sure. The branding on the black for my build, is mostly hidden other than the riser connector and no fans, I would have installed different ones anyhow.

Plus their customer service was amazing; had a bad front I/O on my unit, and within an hour of my initial email, they'd written back twice and had a new front I/O kit sent out to me, only needing my case's serial number and an address to ship to.

I'm definitely going to be building in that thing for many years to come.

    What I like most about this case is the LP GPU riser and the fact that they have a bunch of other half height slots so you could run a capture card, a second GPU like the A310 or A380 for Plex transcoding or streaming, a 10Gb NIC or even... a sound card, I guess.
    Seriously though, I like that they do vertical GPU's while not completely making the rest of the PCIe slots useless.

    • @rodiculous9464
      @rodiculous9464 5 місяців тому

      I just built one and it does make the other pcie slots useless. You dont have a ton of clearance to begin with and the riser cables will block the second pcie slot. And anyways the rear panel will not support a second gpu bc theyre not the correct side. Idk about capture cards maybe those use the smaller rear panel footprint but you'd have to bend the riser cables in an unnatural way. Even my intel wifi add in card wouldn't fit due to the rear panel size, fortunately i got a motherboard with a built in wifi since i didnt want to deal with add in cards anymore. You could probably jury rig something with buying separate pcie cables but its not a drop in solution for sure.

    • @TheGameBench
      @TheGameBench 5 місяців тому

      @@rodiculous9464 Those are half height slots. As long as the card is a half height card, I see no reason they would not fit and would interfere with the PCIe riser cable. The A310 is a half height only GPU and there are half height A380 models. There are a lot of half height WiFi cards, network adapters, sound cards and capture cards. Sounds like you tried to fit a full height card into a half height slot then complained that it wouldn't fit when you just don't understand how it works.

    Had this come earlier (late 2022) I'd have picked one up as it has more space than my Y60. I'm a huge Armored Core fan and with 6 finally coming out, I wanted the space in the case to put one of my Kotobukiya model kits and set the RGB lights up to look like a hangar. It's a tight fit in the Y60, but this has plenty of space. It gave me the opportunity to have an illuminated display case on my desk and a PC in one. I knew going into it the thermals wouldn't be nearly as good as my previous gaming PC, but they're still well within what I deem acceptable.
    Under any other circumstances I'd have picked up something focused on thermals, but being able to set up a PC theme to match a game series I've played since the first game was too difficult to ignore. I am this case's target market right now. 😂

    In a day and age where phones sell $800-1000 over their real value, simply because there is a specific logo on them, I get that a case series like this exists and gets sold.
    And I'm actually pleasantly surprised that Hyte puts real effort in not only looking good and striving to be a premium namebrand, but also puts effort in actually improving the function of what they sell.
    Even with the rather crummy airflow, the Y60 sells rather well. So for them to step up their game with the Y70, not in looks, but in improving almost every cooling characteristic of the case, that gets a genuine bravo from me.

  • @ScottOmatic
    @ScottOmatic 5 місяців тому

    I bought a Y60 a year ago when I was deciding to go the water-cooled route. I get why they made the Y70 (adding a 4th PCI slot) and like some of the improvements, but if you are using these cases like how they were intended (a water-cooled GPU), you'll never need more than a couple PCI slots anyways.

  • @DragonfireRC
    @DragonfireRC 5 місяців тому

    Don't like a case that is big, just for the sake of being big. My Rosewill Thor V2 in white is very big, but for a reason, it has six 3.5" hard drive bays of which I am using 4 at the moment, and has six external 5.25" bays, plus can accommodate motherboards with 10 expansion slots. Also has three 230mm fans (Top, Side, and Front) and one 140mm fan at the rear. Cooling is never an issue, it is fantastic with that huge mesh side panel and 230mm fan blowing onto GPU and motherboard. If a case is going to be big, it better have a lot of drive bay slots and cooling!! Love it, have had it for years now.

  • @allanwilmath8226
    @allanwilmath8226 5 місяців тому +2

    Steve, please stop with the lie that Y60 and Y70 are not a good value. They include preinstalled a PCI-E riser cable that is enough to make the Y60 cheaper than the Lian Li 01 Dynamic Evo when you also add in the cost of the Lian Li vertical mount kit for the GPU.
    In my opinion more cases need to copy the brilliant idea of vertically mounting the GPU while still allowing the installation of half-height cards hidden behind the GPU. This is an amazing design that should get more accolades than it has.
    When you are looking at a premium case who the hell want's shitty fans?! The first thing I did was remove the fan at the back of the case and toss in the scrap parts box. There is so much waste in the computer industry we need to reduce it. The case was great to work in, the build went well and the full custom loop with a 240 and a 360 rad look great, my daughter loves it. The temps are good and so is the noise level despite not even tuning the fan curves and using Corsair LL120 fans for radiator fans.
    All things considered it's actually pretty compact with a good use of space without dominating a desk like my 011 Evo XL does.

      I agree with you there. The Y70 Touch is a great price for what it has. Like you say, the Pcie 4.0 riser is a good £70 to buy separately & then being able to mount top & side AIO. I got a Y70 Touch last week & was tempted to pull the trigger on a Lian LI vision but for the £300 I paid for my Y70 Touch......It was a no brainer what was going to win me over. 👍🏻

    While as an engineer i understand and respect the need to standardise as much as we can in order to produce results that are apples to apples as much as we can, i think that in case reviews an extra chart that shows temps when all fans are populated.
    Considering the usecase is in my opinion important.
    Someone nuts enough ( im guilty as charged) to buy an 360 dollar case will most likely populate all fans and more often then not will use an aio as side intake or top exhaust.
    And im pretty sure this applies to most cses abobe 150 or 180 dollars.

    I think a cool addition - no pun intended - would be to populate the max fan slots with maybe thermalright fans for budget and to keep it fair.
    It would be nice to see the Y70 decked out with fans vs say the Fractal Torrent that comes decked out with full fans basically.
    I doubt anybody spending Y70 money wouldn't populate all if not most of the fan slots.

  • @mithikx
    @mithikx 5 місяців тому

    The case is fully form over function, but the function aspect isn't totally lost. IMO not best in class but fully serviceable.
    The integrated vertical raiser is kind of a giveaway on how it's looks first, and the it lives up to the 'Y' - as in Y-axis, gonna have to wait for Hyte to release a case with another letter probably to support vertical mounting GPUs.
    Hyte cases are AFAIK pretty much meant to have the CPU liquid cooled, either CLC or open loop. And most of us probably replace any included case fans, especially with a "showcase" case.
    Don't get me wrong it's still a pretty expensive case. Luckily anyone looking for cheaper options can get something like a Montech King 95, or something else with better thermals.
    It's a really easy to wire case, once you start throwing in 2-3 hubs, RGB strips, Strimer cables probably less so but that goes for any case out there.
    I've owned the Y60, and I own a Y40 and Y70 Touch. For non Hyte cases I've recently owned the NZXT H5 Flow, Phanteks P500A, Fractal Design Torrent Nano, Lian Li O-11 D XL and I still own an Antec P20C. I've also built in the Lian Li Lancool II Mesh, In Win 303, NZXT H5, H7, H6, H9. So among those I would say it's one of the easiest cases to wire manage, with the H7 coming out on top.

    I think that a lot of people gravitate towards having a show price rather than a good performing pc. I’ve fallen into that loop too. The problem with a lot of these pcs, is that argb software with most motherboards are lack luster and resource stealing for what they can actually do. With saying that, the on case lcd is what a lot of people have been wanting, it allows you to have a first party system that can tell you the temp of your stuff and more with out needing to hack apart a case or, have access to a 3d printer with the knowledge to make it if there isn’t files already. Most companies don’t understand properly that people will pay money for something they want that’s convenient, having native support for something that has been modded into pcs for some time that doesn’t have the limitations of the size of a cpu water pump, or having to buy specific equipment to fit your case is nice.
