I hope Hyte can make it "big" and still be around when it's time for me to update my computer, whenever that might be. At least right now, they are moving in a great direction. Really liking their products.
Thank you for your support and review! So much HYPE surrounding this case before it officially comes to CES. The build you have created in the case is the perfect example of what we had in mind for a S- tier aesthetic build. Thank you again and have an amazing New Year! 💛
I would love to see a Hyte 20, with only M/I-ATX support, with it being shorter. Using a AIO on the CPU and maybe only supporting 3 slot GPUs would make it possible and I believe it would fit the case design perfectly.
Its certainly an interesting case. Would be interested to see a version optimized for air cooling maybe with 200 mm fans in the floor and bottom to top airflow. Definitely designing nice cases though for water cooling
only thing i dont want is the unnecessary added cost of the fan. come on now, if the customer has the budget to buy this case, pretty sure they want to buy their own fans
The riser cable is $70nof the cost based on the MSRP of just that in the store. So $80 for a case and 2 fans of this quality is a bargain imho. I don't mind having fans to be spares in case of a failure with preferred fans.
True. Most people who are into these kinds of cases for their builds have their own choice of brands for fans. I had Fractal, Silverstone, LianLi cases in the past and never used the fans that came with them(maybe with the exception of the 180mm AirPenetrators from Silverstone). I never judge the costs of a case based on the included fans, more like on available mounting options.
GamersNexus said that Hyte intended to knock Corsair off the top seller spot and I was skeptical. Not anymore. Hyte ain't playing around. The Y60 is selling like hotcakes at $200 and with the beautiful design and riser cable, it's actually good value. This Y40 is a winner for sure. They won't be able to keep these in stock. I hope to snag at least 1 at launch but that could be difficult. Corsair has nothing to match the design of this case. It makes any of the latest Corsair cases look really cheap, and not in a good way.
I bought my first ever gaming PC through iBuyPower, and the case I selected was out of stock, so they free upgraded it to this one. I think I'm going to be VERY happy with it. I'm so geeked to get this hopefully next week! I'm an aviation geek, so I'll be flight simming like crazy on this.
Yeah very much the same feeling here. I love the riser-card design, but makes troubleshooting any GPU related issues so much more difficult. I wish the whole PCI back-section was rotatable so you can install full-size stuff directly into the mobo. -D.
Really hoping to see an expanded review from you guys on this case. As an air-cooled guy, I'd love to see if its worth it for me to consider the Y40 once all of those fan locations are populated.
Glad to hear! Thanks so much for the reply. I'm currently working with a Noctua NH-U12A for a cooler. Ideal fan layout would be two 140mm fans on the side, plus another in the basement as intake, and then two 120mm on the top and one on the rear as exhaust. Anything along those lines would be much appreciated! If you guys find any issues with fitting an air cooler alongside a vertical GPU, as well as any tips for navigating cable management around that basement fan would be amazing as well :) Cheers!
This case is great, should be a huge hit, but I do still like & would buy a dual chamber, shorter, fatter case before the Hype Y40. I have a o11 Mini with dual 360s rads top & bottom w/ vert GPU, & CPU both water cooled.
Nice! For me the Hyte Y40 isn't trying to be everything which is fine. I'm surprised at how well the Y60 did, so let's see how this one holds. I fear the bold move for vertical-only GPU and w/e CPU Cooler incompatibility might be the only drawback. -D.
btw, a simple mod I did to the LL o11 mini, to make room for the bottom 360 rads, I mounted my ITX in the middle case standoffs, & used the vert GPU mount as the top back panel (no filler in the top), so I had to cut a square out of the vert gpu mount so the motherboard i/o would fit (this was the big mod), this raises the gpu giving the bottom 360 & fan room to breathe under the vert gpu mount. My plan still is to also cut away a lot of the shelf on the vert gpu mount & use a upside down shelf bracket as what holds the GPU, but it is going to need to wait until next time I do a cleaning. used white duct tape to cover the hole I had left over from extension for the motherboard i/o, also used the white duct tape to wrap the sides of my rads, you can't tell if they're painted or it its duct tape, good time saver, doubly so if you get a color match. if you're into PC modding, get yourself a few copies of the right drill bit size, & a tap, used to cut threads. Lets you mount anything anywhere, or move a radiator a needed fraction of an inch so it clears the ram. It is 6/32 is the common PC screw size, & get the same 6/32 tap size. Also something I use are Button Head Torx Tamper Resistant Screws, they do IMO look damn good in a build. Doubly so on a water block or water reservoir distro block, just make sure you get a few of the screwdrivers with that key'ed on its tip, Home Depot has them, & you can always make sure they fit together. Tamper Resistant Screws w/ matching screwdrivers, there is no real reason for you to think you need them, but then again I used bolt cutters to remove the dumb latch style 'locks' I had on my dog's leashes & use two locking D Rings, one on their collar, & one on their harness. I learned if you let little kids pet your dogs when you are out with them, the kids are going to want to set them free to play with them off their leash. I & a g/f each had a dog in Home Depot, she was talking to a friend she ran into & their kid unhooked the dog's leash, while I was getting what we were there for at the other side of the huge store when I looked down to see I had both dogs, I looked down to see I only had one leash ... so went looking for the girlfriend, she was still where I left her 10 feet away from the front door(yes lucky dog did walk out of it), she was still talking to her friend while holding an empty dog leash, she hadn't even noticed... & her friends little girl was also missing. She never again walked any of my dogs, never let her drive my truck, when I think back on it, it was the reason we ended. So yes, I had a g/f that loosened a couple normal torx head screws on one of my water blocks to cause a water leak to kill my gaming computer so I'd spend more time watching sitcoms with her like 'Sex in the City', she ended up being an ex g/f not for doing this, the loosened screws never leaked, but that she liked 'Sex in the City'. Also make sure to lock the desk drawer with your Button Head Torx Tamper Resistant Screwdrivers. And seup a cheapy wyze camera (one that you reflashed all of the wyze fairmware crap off of, & set up your own security server to record your smart not-wyze cameras, MotionEyeOS running on a rapberry pi does the job.
I was sold on this case until the low profile pcie brackets. Kills any expandability for me with my extra usb card and blackmagic capture card. Overall looks like a great case for anyone that doesn't have any additional pcie devices
Honestly this case is absolutely gorgeous. I'm more a fan of M-ATX cases and I will be upgrading to the Coolermaster Silencio S400 soon, but it does make sense for Hyte to force users to mount their GPU that way, it reduces sag for big GPU's like the one in the video!
7:57 There is actually an incompatibility here with a 360 AiO. If it is more than 397mm long, you will have to get a fan that is smaller than 25mm in thickness. Like the LT720 is too big at 402mm, and the standard 25mm doesnt fit anymore
All these cases are beautiful. I was looking for one for myself and despite hundreds of beautiful ones, I did not manage to find one suitable in every respect for me. That's why I started to design cases that would suit me and after two years I have the right thing. If you are willing, I can send you a picture of what my modern PC case looks like.
Case is beautiful but the temps are garbage. There is a tradeoff to be make. I think I'd go with lower temps. Case is performing worse than 3-5 yr old cases like 680X.
Hey can you guys do a retrospective on Supertower cases after CES is done? Given the power output of modern high end GPUs and CPUs, it’d be nice to see how the various Supertower cases released over the past 5 years can handle an overclocked 4090 and 13900k/7900x with their various water cooling capacities fully exploited… Especially if any new ones are unveiled at CES.
This case looks amazing. Does it fit a 4080/90? The bottom dust filters are a major flaw. Having to flip your case over twice is moronic. Other than that it's gorgeous.
They specifically say the Y40 and Y60 are for liquidcooling, so the idea of making space for large tower coolers just isn't what they're considering. That said I think both of these could be notably improved with a redesigned I/O panel that lets you optionally reconfigure the expansion slots to allow for full-size horizontal cards. I don't particularly like vertical GPUs, in terms of not only appearance, but also working with the system (NVMEs, headers on the bottom of the mobo, etc) and for airflow.
yeah I was watching the vid like "wow I may buy this as my next ca--- oh, WTF is that all about" :( Not only is GPU fitment a problem, a lot of us run more than 1 PCIe device, do they expect a capture card for streaming to also go on a (have to buy separately and figure out fitment) riser?? Dumb.
@@davidmoffitt981 Agreed, All lot of the potential of ATX motherboard couldn't be utilized. Low profile options are available but it's a lot more limiting. It sacrifices flexibility for a specific design, one that a lot of people would lean to. I think a lot of people are excited. *Searches Amazon for Low profile cards.
It looks cool, but tbh the Lian Li O11 Evo gives you better options (well, at least for someone who wants to build a neat looking multi GPU workstation)
I prefer 140mm fans. If they widened the case a little they could fit one on the rear exhaust and maybe get full length PCI slots too. Probably also a 140 floor intake and a 280 rad in the roof. I also don't like the gaps above the PCI slots. It screams "cost cutting" and doesn't belong on any case over $100. I'll let the lack of rubber grommets slide as the vertical GPU probably hides the holes. Otherwise it's a good case with good airflow and dust filtration and great views. I don't mind the lack of storage as you can hide SSDs under the shroud and I use a NAS for storage.
its good and all but ever realised if you want your pc on the left side but the pc view should be only on the right side yk? It sucks to not have option to choose the view of the pc ngl
i love the fact that the ports are on the bottom of the case...can't stand cases that have ports and power buttons on top of the case...looks like a nice little case...might get one, they don't look that expensive
Love side panels that open from the top and lift! That was one of my favorite features of the Corsair 600T when I had it, means you don't need a crazy amount of space to remove a side panel and swap/add a simple part. My Evolv x isn't so bad if you remove the top, but still a bit of a chore to remove a side panel.
What I love about the last few years of PC cases is begin able to see inside from many angles thanks to glass panels, completely hide the PSU, show off more RGB with up to 10 fans and be able to run your GPU Vertically or even Upright. Currently running a 4090 Strix Upright in my Lian Li EVO...never thought it would work out but it did, looks incredible and shows off the Z790 Apex in all its glory! Taking note of Hyte tho 👀
That's funny, I was thinking it would be nice to be able to see the PSU alongside the rest of the components. It's arguably the most important component after all.
@@raviahuja1586 Unfortunately I don't have a way to show it right now but it will 100% work, as I've recently swapped out my launch 4090 Strix for the 4090 Strix White Edition.
@@Macho_Man_Randy_Savage i was thinking the same thing, what was the upright you used on evo?coz i recently heard theyre making a better version of the previous one which will be released in march sometime. so asking coz i too was opting for the upgright install, but drew back last min incase the upright did not support 40s cards. whatever youre using, if you could link it tnx.
@@arsalanamin7954 As mentioned previously, I built my new gaming PC in the current EVO case and purchased the Upright Kit (including a flexi riser cable so you can really reduce the footprint) and just threw in the 4090 Strix...and it JUST fit, I'm not even using any braces, it's just wedged in there but it works. I also run the Lian Li SL-INF fans at the bottom and they slightly cover the bottom of the GPU but it looks so weird and wonderful it works for me. But you will scratch your GPU most likely lol but if you have a smaller 4090 it will just hang normally but will require bracing. And yes there is a EVO XL coming out soon I guess, GN did a preview of the prototype not long ago.
I think you're not critical enough on their sacrificing of function for form. Rotating pcie brackets have been out for a long time. Bottom dust filters should be removable from both sides. This case is 5 cm wider than it needs to be for no reason (except to accommodate their stupid vertical gpu solution).
No 3.5'' harddrive slot is kind of a deal breaker for me. If you add cost to get a harddrive enclosure or NAS, you still get downgraded to 1~2.5Gbps from ethernet instead of 6Gbps in SATA. 10Gbps is possibpe but costs even more
I didn't think about the front side of the bus but now that you mention it. Beautiful case. Light enough (19 lbs). Needs a cutout in the bottom to see my PSU wattage use OLED light. I prefer the Y60 though.
It is beautiful! But I bet the cooling will be average at best. The gpu is pulling from the glass panel and intakes are not hitting any of the components in any meaningful way.
The more organic looking inner frame is very cool. Thanks for talking about the cable management features with the cables already in place, its very useful.
It looks great but I have some issues with it. It's a little disappointing that there aren't any 3.5" bays in the basement and that it uses a combo audio jack in the front IO instead of dedicated mic/headphone jacks but neither of those are a huge issue. Having integrated dust filters instead of removable and only vertical GPU mounting are deal breakers though. The price is a bit much but I can understand where it comes from.
The HYTE Y60 and Y40 come with a splitter for the audio jack. I was disappointed when my new Phanteks G500A didn't come with one given it also uses a front combo jack. Also the Y40 lets you mount a 3.5 HDD to the 2x2.5 SSD bracket thing in the back. You have to pick one or the other, but realistically you should probably be using NVMEs directly on your motherboard, and if you do HAVE to use an old 2.5" SSD, you can just sit it loose amongst the cables and not worry about it because vibration and mounting angle aren't an issue.
Thank you, great video, as usual, man! A review of a dedicated HQ fanless audio server/HTPC case (silver color, please) with a reliable dedicated motherboard and such cards (USB, I2S, NIC), quality ATX LPSU and its building guide video are badly needed, Dima! Just imagine how much a person could save if he builds his own server/streamer/ROON host instead of buying a $10K or sooner $20K - $30K box from Aurenders and Auralics of this world!
I do like flipping the top mount rads around in vertical GPU mount situations like this since most of the hose ends up behind the GPU and and running vertically in front of the white heatsinks instead of blocking your RGB RAM and side intake fans.
Their 3 sided case WAS their design. It’s gone, now making this another small for case like everyone else makes. I bet this will not sell anywhere close to the Y60
hey, just like the last case you still can't use other expansion cards especially if they are full height... so if your video card is your only card ever, your set.
the only 4 Slot GPU I can think of is The NOCTUA - ASUS 3070 or 3080. and it can a great match build. An all white build with accents of Noctua brown color !
I‘d be interested in temperature and airflow performance. Would you use the side panel as an output cause of the gpu airflow direction? Though the cpu fans would be an intake which is not as good cause of the heat in the radiator. Case looks good!
I think this is a really great looking case, but I do wonder about its cooling performance in comparison to other Airflow style cases. When ambient temperatures creep, and you're in longer gaming sessions - I doubt this will be able to keep the GPU nearly as cool as more traditional cases (phanteks, fractal, etc).
Fair point. I went from a Phanteks P500a to this Y40. The overbuilt 4090 cooler allowed me to do this with comfort. My 3090 wouldn't have done so well in this case.
Man, I just put together a PC build and this makes me jealous lol. Whenever I decided to upgrade again in a few years, I'm def going to take more time getting parts that compliment each other.
It's a gen4 riser cable that sells separately for $79, so yeah, it definitely adds to the price of the case. But still cheaper than the Y60 ($199). -D.
loving the y40 so far, only wish cable management was a tad better and had fan hub. also having fan below the floor and under all ur cables is utterly pointless. just take it out
Makes me yearn for more horizontal cases without the need for the stupid riser cables in order to hold gargantuan GPUs, and in my opinion are far easier to build and maintain once the mainboard is installed.
@@VTJasmine69 nobody ever said anything about me buying it. but saying $150 for a case is "not high at all" when there are clearly many different target customer in the market is just ignorant. it might not be high for you, but it is for a lot of others.

The reason for those angled lines is very clever, it gives the case depth, makes it look more like a room using perspective lines.
Hyte should have made the PCI slot panel removable/rotatable so you could fit for vertical or horizontal GPU.
they could have added normal(-height) screw down points to one of the slot vertical slot covers.
Like an interchangeable rear panel(sort of like a few SFF cases currently in the market)?

@@zachansen8293 those gpu fans are sucking in air, not blowing air out. the air gets blown out the radiator fins.

Is it possible to test the quality of the PCI extender? Some inferior ones degrade gpu performance. Very nice case and video.
It looks cool, but tbh the Lian Li O11 Evo gives you better options (well, at least for someone who wants to build a neat looking multi GPU workstation)
I prefer 140mm fans. If they widened the case a little they could fit one on the rear exhaust and maybe get full length PCI slots too. Probably also a 140 floor intake and a 280 rad in the roof.
I also don't like the gaps above the PCI slots. It screams "cost cutting" and doesn't belong on any case over $100.
I'll let the lack of rubber grommets slide as the vertical GPU probably hides the holes.
Otherwise it's a good case with good airflow and dust filtration and great views. I don't mind the lack of storage as you can hide SSDs under the shroud and I use a NAS for storage.
Great looking case imo, I do hope they come with a tower cooler compatible version of this sometime but that's just my preference.
its good and all but ever realised if you want your pc on the left side but the pc view should be only on the right side yk? It sucks to not have option to choose the view of the pc ngl
i love the fact that the ports are on the bottom of the case...can't stand cases that have ports and power buttons on top of the case...looks like a nice little case...might get one, they don't look that expensive
Love side panels that open from the top and lift! That was one of my favorite features of the Corsair 600T when I had it, means you don't need a crazy amount of space to remove a side panel and swap/add a simple part. My Evolv x isn't so bad if you remove the top, but still a bit of a chore to remove a side panel.
What I love about the last few years of PC cases is begin able to see inside from many angles thanks to glass panels, completely hide the PSU, show off more RGB with up to 10 fans and be able to run your GPU Vertically or even Upright. Currently running a 4090 Strix Upright in my Lian Li EVO...never thought it would work out but it did, looks incredible and shows off the Z790 Apex in all its glory! Taking note of Hyte tho 👀
That's funny, I was thinking it would be nice to be able to see the PSU alongside the rest of the components. It's arguably the most important component after all.
Hey. Any chance you can show your build? I'm curious as to whether we can install a 4090 Strix upright in a 011D EVO case. I'd love to check it out.
@@raviahuja1586 Unfortunately I don't have a way to show it right now but it will 100% work, as I've recently swapped out my launch 4090 Strix for the 4090 Strix White Edition.
@@Macho_Man_Randy_Savage i was thinking the same thing, what was the upright you used on evo?coz i recently heard theyre making a better version of the previous one which will be released in march sometime. so asking coz i too was opting for the upgright install, but drew back last min incase the upright did not support 40s cards. whatever youre using, if you could link it tnx.
@@arsalanamin7954 As mentioned previously, I built my new gaming PC in the current EVO case and purchased the Upright Kit (including a flexi riser cable so you can really reduce the footprint) and just threw in the 4090 Strix...and it JUST fit, I'm not even using any braces, it's just wedged in there but it works. I also run the Lian Li SL-INF fans at the bottom and they slightly cover the bottom of the GPU but it looks so weird and wonderful it works for me. But you will scratch your GPU most likely lol but if you have a smaller 4090 it will just hang normally but will require bracing. And yes there is a EVO XL coming out soon I guess, GN did a preview of the prototype not long ago.
Very nice idea with the colourful Lego cars and the hardware decoration, looks almost as good as the case
I think you're not critical enough on their sacrificing of function for form.
Rotating pcie brackets have been out for a long time.
Bottom dust filters should be removable from both sides.
This case is 5 cm wider than it needs to be for no reason (except to accommodate their stupid vertical gpu solution).
This is just a preview for now. Critical will come with my full review but lots of great comments on what to test so i'm all ears :) Cheers!
-D.
Im rocking the Hyte Y60 and I just love it, glad to se them comming out with more cases!👌🤩
No 3.5'' harddrive slot is kind of a deal breaker for me. If you add cost to get a harddrive enclosure or NAS, you still get downgraded to 1~2.5Gbps from ethernet instead of 6Gbps in SATA. 10Gbps is possibpe but costs even more
I didn't think about the front side of the bus but now that you mention it. Beautiful case. Light enough (19 lbs). Needs a cutout in the bottom to see my PSU wattage use OLED light. I prefer the Y60 though.
It is beautiful! But I bet the cooling will be average at best. The gpu is pulling from the glass panel and intakes are not hitting any of the components in any meaningful way.
The more organic looking inner frame is very cool. Thanks for talking about the cable management features with the cables already in place, its very useful.
Lots of swirls and wiggly shapes and big sun rays , It looks like someone tried to make version of the hyte case on mushrooms
It looks great but I have some issues with it. It's a little disappointing that there aren't any 3.5" bays in the basement and that it uses a combo audio jack in the front IO instead of dedicated mic/headphone jacks but neither of those are a huge issue. Having integrated dust filters instead of removable and only vertical GPU mounting are deal breakers though. The price is a bit much but I can understand where it comes from.
The HYTE Y60 and Y40 come with a splitter for the audio jack. I was disappointed when my new Phanteks G500A didn't come with one given it also uses a front combo jack.
Also the Y40 lets you mount a 3.5 HDD to the 2x2.5 SSD bracket thing in the back. You have to pick one or the other, but realistically you should probably be using NVMEs directly on your motherboard, and if you do HAVE to use an old 2.5" SSD, you can just sit it loose amongst the cables and not worry about it because vibration and mounting angle aren't an issue.
The lack of storage options in front of power supply is a huge missed opportunity. The space is there for at least one HDD.
im always impressed on the quality of these videos, but this time im just as impressed with the product!
Looks amazing! I was impressed when I saw a display of a pc with the Y60 at best buy, so I can't wait to see the Y40 up close.
Thank you, great video, as usual, man! A review of a dedicated HQ fanless audio server/HTPC case (silver color, please) with a reliable dedicated motherboard and such cards (USB, I2S, NIC), quality ATX LPSU and its building guide video are badly needed, Dima! Just imagine how much a person could save if he builds his own server/streamer/ROON host instead of buying a $10K or sooner $20K - $30K box from Aurenders and Auralics of this world!
I do like flipping the top mount rads around in vertical GPU mount situations like this since most of the hose ends up behind the GPU and and running vertically in front of the white heatsinks instead of blocking your RGB RAM and side intake fans.
Great review and I think it was natural transition for Hyte to come up with a smaller case based on the same design language
Their 3 sided case WAS their design. It’s gone, now making this another small for case like everyone else makes. I bet this will not sell anywhere close to the Y60
@@ethenjordan2010 Why so angry?
@@aquanos Bc i have the HYTE Y60 and this space is already saturated.
@@ethenjordan2010 But why are you angry? Is there something bad about them releasing a different case that affects your life?
Such a bummer that there are no 3.5 inch hdd spaces
Perfect in almost every way... except for not having a horizontal mounting option. Big bummed.
What a Smexy case. Hyte is definitely on my radar for this years build.
I refuse to let my mind wonder why he was in the box all sweaty....
OH MY GAWD WHAT HAVE I DONE
Don't forget they made a *thicc* Hyte AIO specifically for this case.
Now what we need is hyte Y20 for itx users.
I can’t say with out a doubt, this is the best case of 2023
Now where is that video about "a proper build with all-new components" you promised at 10:42? :) Still looking forward to it!
intake filter on the base of a computer needs to be removeable via the front without having to lift, or even tilt the computer.
Wish there was a white on white version and not only white black
its one of the few white cases I have seen with fairly dark tinted glass panels. it would have looked better with clear glass panels
Beaut of a case but I’m not sure I love that you can’t clean the dust panel independently from case panels
Hall of Fame GPU and white GPU cables 🤤🤤🤤
Damn, that cable management 🔥🔥🔥
hey, just like the last case you still can't use other expansion cards especially if they are full height... so if your video card is your only card ever, your set.
That 'Low-Profile' PCIe limitation is a show-stopper for me.
the only 4 Slot GPU I can think of is The NOCTUA - ASUS 3070 or 3080. and it can a great match build. An all white build with accents of Noctua brown color !
I‘d be interested in temperature and airflow performance. Would you use the side panel as an output cause of the gpu airflow direction? Though the cpu fans would be an intake which is not as good cause of the heat in the radiator. Case looks good!
Very excited for this case. I hope to get one this month.
I think this is a really great looking case, but I do wonder about its cooling performance in comparison to other Airflow style cases. When ambient temperatures creep, and you're in longer gaming sessions - I doubt this will be able to keep the GPU nearly as cool as more traditional cases (phanteks, fractal, etc).
Fair point. I went from a Phanteks P500a to this Y40. The overbuilt 4090 cooler allowed me to do this with comfort. My 3090 wouldn't have done so well in this case.
On the side panel with those perforations it would be cool to put some kind of lighting to glow through.
Guess I found my new case, absolutely beautiful
That combined headphone jack is a deal breaker for me.
Great case and review, but I wish they would make an all airflow version.
interesting to see the thermal info on this case
that mesh pattern will go great with X670E Strix boards. same synthwave kind of aesthetic.
Man, I just put together a PC build and this makes me jealous lol. Whenever I decided to upgrade again in a few years, I'm def going to take more time getting parts that compliment each other.
Hyte cases are among the nicest looking aside from the fractal north
Strix 30xx card designs are > Strix 40xx card designs CMON ASUS⁉‼
At least the TUFs are beautiful?
@@user9267 HOW IS THIS TUF RELATED WHEN I COMPARED STRIX CARDS CMON MAN?? srry caps.
@@ilkerYT
that's where all the prettiness went
They should update next version of Y60 to 4 slot GPU as well.
Beautiful. Would love to see a hard loop in this.
Sick case. Tempted to go from ITX to ATX for my next build. This case is on my short list.
150$? Hm, it cost a bit much. That gpu vertical extension must've inflated the price.
It's a gen4 riser cable that sells separately for $79, so yeah, it definitely adds to the price of the case. But still cheaper than the Y60 ($199).
-D.
need a worst alibaba case video
Hahaha... why you do this to me? Will check out all the trash and find the worst lol
-D.
it's so much better looking holy shit. I hated the angle in the front.
How are the thermals using only one fan as intake like this? Elegant video as always!
I hope they make an ITX or MATX version of this!
loving the y40 so far, only wish cable management was a tad better and had fan hub. also having fan below the floor and under all ur cables is utterly pointless. just take it out
Is it pissible to instal a 140mm exhaust fan?
Hyte y40 is 99 on Newegg rightnow with shipping
How would you set-up a custom loop? It would get rid of the AIO tubes, which don’t look the best.
Makes me yearn for more horizontal cases without the need for the stupid riser cables in order to hold gargantuan GPUs, and in my opinion are far easier to build and maintain once the mainboard is installed.
Nice case...but the cost is too high. Also integrated dust filters vs removable are not a good idea since they are miserable to clean.
It’s $150. Not high at all.
@@davidlandrum it is for many people.
@@aerosw1ftthen don’t buy it, this case obviously isn’t meant to be the most affordable option
@@davidlandrum agreed this price is pretty great for what you get. Anything cheaper is not going to look as good or be as compatible/clean.
@@VTJasmine69 nobody ever said anything about me buying it. but saying $150 for a case is "not high at all" when there are clearly many different target customer in the market is just ignorant. it might not be high for you, but it is for a lot of others.
That glass looks dope 😇
The Hyte Y4D as Steve would say
this case is very similar to the Y4D GN leaked
Lol
Love the new Hyte Y4D
What an awesome enclosure 👌🔥
