About this deal
Hyte was more generous on the GPU side in terms of clearance. This case fits cards up to 14.76 inches (375mm), which means your Asus ROG Strix RTX 3090 or PowerColor Red Devil RX 6900XT should fit here without issue. The Hyte Y60 is a very quiet case. That can be attributed to the location of the bottom fans, since they’re shoved in the case’s basement, and likely also the glass panels dampening internal noise. I measured the rear exhaust fan using our laser tachometer and it read 1,444 RPM, which is fairly close to the rated 1,500 RPM. Thermal Results for the Hyte Y60 The Nexus software is also getting a facelift, featuring touchscreen support and a full suite of widgets and applications tailored to make your PC experience as convenient and personal as possible. CPU cooler support is limited to 6.3 inches (160mm), which means owners of Noctua’s NH-D15s or Deepcool’s Assassin III will not be able to those chonky coolers. But, with a case like this, wouldn’t you rather show off your RGB-adorned AIO? As we’ll soon see in testing, going with an AIO might be a better choice for temperatures too.
The top supports up to a 360mm radiator, with the ability to adjust the top radiator position, to prevent issues like RAM or motherboard VRM heatsink clearance if you want to show off your array of RGB fans. The top radiator tray is removable with tool-less thumb screws and can be repositioned 15mm lower into the chassis. Y60 versus Y70 Touch If you’re building a new system in the HYTE Y70 Touch, be sure to connect both the included USB header to your motherboard as well as connecting the display to the DisplayPort connection on your GPU – a built-in DisplayPort breakout board and included DisplayPort cable keeps things neat and tidy. Hyte made a bold move by including a PCIe 4.0 riser cable and encouraging vertical GPU mounting. Because often vertically mounting your GPU can have a negative effect on thermals. We’ll figure out how that plays out shortly in the thermal testing section. The featured fans are Flow FE12 fans, that can operate at speeds of 1300RPM whilst at whisper-quiet noise levels. Thanks to their fluid dynamic bearing, these fans are highly durable with a long lifespan. Two are mounted on the bottom panel and the third is on the rear. As mentioned before, the HYTE Y70 Touch features an integrated touchscreen that mounts to the corner glass section of the case. Again, like the HYTE Y60 and the Y60 LCD DIY Kit, the Y70 Touch goes a step further - allowing you to tweak your personalization options to really make the build your own.Included with the case is a matching PCIe 4.0 riser cable, ensuring maximum compatibility with PCIe 4.0 motherboards and a nice way to display your graphics card.
At launch, the Nexus software will feature a customizable home screen. From here, you can set shortcuts to frequently used applications and adjust the position of the widgets. The Y70 Touch also features a tool-less design. The top and side panels on the Y70 Touch are secured by clips and pins, allowing for easy access to the internals. Additionally, velcro ties are pre-ran inside of the case and extras are included making cable management a breeze. Additionally, the glass panels are removable, allowing for a hybrid open frame design for maximum cooling potential. The HYTE Y70 Touch sports a familiar dual-chambered design similar to the Y60, but with added touches to further refine and improve on the original design. The Y70 Touch has increased space between the glass and the vertical PCIe 4.0 riser cable, allowing for more airflow to the GPU. Additionally, this increased space allows for 4-slot GPUs to fit comfortably without sacrificing cooling potential.The HYTE Y60 PC Case has been optimised to provide excellent cooling. To eliminate hot spots, it features cold floor cooling, with sweeping lateral vents integrated in the bottom of the chassis. Plus, with extensive ventilation throughout the frame and three pre-installed 120mm fans, the HYTE Y60 has a unique airflow path that will provide ample cooling to a wide variety of components.
