HYTE Y40 PC Case Review
Peter Donnell / 6 months ago
The HYTE series of PC cases has been a go-to favourite of the reddit “my first PC build” enthusiasts for some time now, but amazingly, I hadn’t gotten my hands on one until recently. HYTE themselves call these “S-Tier Aesthetic Cases” and it’s hard to argue with that based on what I’ve seen of them so far, and my review of the much larger Y60 a few months back. With dual tempered glass windows, a built-in riser-cable system, room for the biggest and best hardware on the market, and uncompromising airflow, it’s easy to see why so many people fall in love with the HYTE Y60.
Features
- Multi-Dimensional Design – Details connect every part into a deeply harmonic design structure. Every edge is adorned in tightly controlled beveling for s-tier aesthetics. 2-piece Panoramic Glass sets the stage for a completely unobstructed view of your system’s performance.
- Ginormous Vertical Graphics Support – Y40 grows GPU support to 4 full slots with additional airflow space between the edge of the card and the glass. An intake fan below the power supply shroud provides fresh air upwards to the GPU to improve cooling further.
- Included Luxury PCIE 4.0 Riser Cable – A protective riser cable canopy integrates beautifully into the case, allowing for half-height PCIE cards behind the throne of the vertical graphics card.
- Cooling – Y40 comes with 2x 120mm fans pre-installed, one beneath the floor and one at the rear. The side mount can fit up to a 280mm radiator with a combined thickness of up to 120mm allowing for large 60mm+ radiators to be used for custom loop configurations, and the top mount can fit up to a 360mm radiator for dual radiator setups. Y40 also brings support for large air coolers over 180mm in height, allowing for almost every CPU cooler on the market.
