- Bea!!!2024-04-30this case is HUGE, its very nice too!!!
id buy this not just bc of how easy it was to manage cables but bc EVERYTHING IS SO ORGANISED ITS BEAUTIFUL. 10/10 case, i love mine and wont change it for the world also when i was robbed it was too heavy to carry so ITS ROBBER PROOF TOO!!! :D
- Matthew S.2024-05-29Awesome case!
Lots of room and breathability. Super compatible with all my components and I love the look.
- Dominic B.2024-02-27Great looking case to build in
Great case to build in! Looks great and very rewarding when you have completed your build in this case. It is a compact case so it will take a little more planning when it comes to layout and cable management but the cable routes make it much easier. There is a lot more room in the back side than appears when looking online, but still a little tight . Fits a 4080 with plenty of room and the gpu mount is nice and sturdy. Previously, I built only in Corsair cases but this has been my favorite case I’ve built in yet… biggest tip for building in this case is to optimize your airflow with your fans push/pull layouts
- Jose A Ortega2023-09-16Surprisingly convenient, robust, and gorgeous
I’ve been building my own PCs for 15 and…I’ll be honest. This case looked kinda cheap in pictures. In person, it was a whole different story. Not only is this case extremely sturdy, and well-manufactured, the attention to detail is almost incomprehensibly good. THERE ARE CUTOUTS AT THE TOP OF THE CASE SO THAT YOU CAN MORE EASILY INSTALL EPS CABLES AND THE LIKE! Why has no one else thought of that in all this time!? This case is also stunning. It fits the all-black, anti-RGB aesthetic of my build. I added some white LED fans on top (which are actually not visible from outside the case, thank God) which allow a soft light to be cast into the case and allow my components to be showcased. I really am in love. Every part of this case is so well thought-out and so well-executed. I did not imagine this build would ever turn out this well. Temperatures are just as good as my previous “airflow focused” build for my GPU and CPU. Best configuration for this case is a 280mm AIO as side intake, 3 exhaust fans on top, and the one fan underneath the GPU set to intake. You will have zero problems. Thanks, Hyte. You’ve gained a fan. My current build (pictured) is comprised of a Z690 MSI Unify MB, i9-13900K, and an RTX 4090.
- Ismael Rivera2023-06-07Better than expected!!
This is a non solicited unbiased review. The only cons for me, is that you only get 3 plain fans, for the cost of this case, it is my opinion, the fans should at least be LED. That is just my opinion of course. I knew going in that I planned on replacing them, so the first thing I did was to remove all 3 fans. The hard drive cages cannot be removed and left out unless you want big gaps in the back panel. I don't have any use for them since I use only M.2 drives. The other con is the USB C connector to the mobo, it is a Type E key, you will need an adapter if your board isn't equipped properly. FYI! You cannot go horizontal with the graphics card, in case anyone was wondering. The Pro's! The case is very well made, has a solid feel to it, it is very spacious and well thought out in design. The metal is thick, the tempered glass is also thick. The case disassembles easily with very few screws to remove and replace. The top fan cage comes out completely to allow for fan attachment and reinstalls easily. PSU cable routing is a snap (I installed a 1/2" × 5" padding strip on the psu mounting shelf to dampen vibration) the "grommets" (really pass throughs) are very wide for the 24 pin connector. Because this case is a grill/mesh type, heat dissipation should be a non issue. I set all the fans to exhaust and the case feels cool to the touch, even behind the motherboard/psu back panel. The aesthetics of the case are superb, I wanted to show off my dragon and this is the only case that does that best with the beveled corner. The "power on" button, usb, etc., on the front of the case should be copied by every other case manufacturer. It is WIDE so plan accordingly I am very happy so far 😊 If you're still wondering, stop! Get it, you won't be disappointed.
- Rubens Garcia2024-05-09A beautiful, roomy case with awesome airflow potential.
I could gush, but I really won't. This case is beautiful, has lots of room, and the fact that there's so much room in the back for cable management (or not! No judgement here) it can make any build look super clean. Honestly, in the list of things I've upgraded on my system, this case upgrade is easily the biggest and best one so far. Honestly, this picture does it no justice at all. I recommended my friend by the Y60 and he did, and we put his build together in it...So I just knew I had to have this one. The Y70 is both roomy and beautiful, and with all the grating and tool less entry, I cannot recommend it enough. This case is well worth the money.
- Danielboyd.htx2024-01-06Tight Spaces and Clearances, Lacking some needed touches from Y60
To start, the case is stunning. It does come pretty bare bones however with only two fans stock. I highly recommend getting your own (I opted for the Lian Li INF fans and AIO). The case is definitely designed for a 240mm AIO to be installed on the side, but I chose to be difficult and get a 360mm for top mounting. It works, but the clearances are tiiiiiight. The riser cable for the PCIe slot works, feels a bit flimsy however - may replace for a third party one down the line. Wish the case had gromets in the cable pass throughs. Tight clearance between back panel and motherboard panel. The case it gorgeous, pretty easy to build in. The PSU shroud space does provide more than enough room for access cables.
- Tentacle Beast2023-02-09Hyte Y40 S-tier aesthetics? Nah, I disagree and here's why...
So, what is there to say about this case? Quite a bit actually, so let's get into it. Shall we? Well, let's talk about the aesthetic appeal. The case is quite attractive. It has smooth lines, a wonderful paint job, clean beveled edges. Low profile and pleasing to the eye front panel I/O The inside is not only clean and easy to access but it's very wide open allowing for an unobstructed view of the components inside. Speaking of views the large tempered glass side panel with a touch of tinting is gorgeous and adds a level of styling effect. Add to that that the front panel is also tinted tempered glass and you have yourself an excellent excuse to pick up RGB fans, a digital screen AIO, one of those fancy RGB video cards, speaking of video cards. With todays modern selection of powerful video cards you will find that there is absolutely no lack of space in order to install your particular type of video card! Make sure that you invest in some matching cable extensions so that you can most effectively show off how well you've done your cable management and took the time to add a bit of "pop" to the cabling for that one small step that will absolutely give the inside of your case that "boutique feel". Finally because of all the space inside the Hyte Y40 lends itself to full custom loop water cooling extremely well, so if you are planning to go that route then have no fear because the case will allow for it, and, in fact, you might even be better off if you go that route. Especially since, as box says "This is an S-tier aesthetic case" and did not bother to include even a single RGB fan. No did they include a lighting module or solution, didn't partner with a 3rd party lighting solution, I mean, the list goes on. The point is, an aesthetic case damn near requires RGB and Hyte dropped the ball pretty hard on this front. I'd say that alone drops Hyte from S-tier to A-tier but don't worry there's more which drops that grade later on. I promise. ;) This leads me to the practical aspects of the case. If you're looking for the functionality of your typical run of the mill ATX mid tower case then you are going to be sorely disappointed my friend. This case, for whatever reason was definitely built with form over function in mind. In fact, considering what you are going to want to be doing with this case there were some pretty questionable decisions made for this puppy. But, don't get me wrong. It isn't all bad. First lets consider the open space per square inch that you have available to you inside of this bad boy because there is a ton of it! As mentioned before the case lends itself well to custom loop full system water cooling, don't forget that RGB radiator! But, much like Montana, there's a ton of open space but not a whole lot that you can do with it besides try and fill it and then figure out that it doesn't really make a ton of sense to do so. For instance, the fact that they've opted to make the front panel of the case just a smooth sheet of tempered glass, you lose out on some prime real estate for fans. It is unfortunate that they did not think to include some case support structure in order to mount front panel fans as the RGB potential could have been incredible but sadly because of this short coming, the thermals are going to suffer. If you opt not to go the route of custom loop liquid cooling you are going to discover very quickly that the case has some pretty serious design flaws when it comes to air flow and attempting to achieve a balance in negative vs positive air pressure in order to most effectively cool your parts. There are several spots in the case where it looks like they've cut grates into the case in order to allow for better air flow only to notice that they're not actually full cut outs and are simply there as a design aesthetic as opposed to combining good thermal control WITH the aesthetic choices. A definite missed opportunity here. There are some nice dust covers in many of the key points where air will be coming or going, however, another questionable design choice is that only about half of them can be removed in order to be cleaned. The others are built into the panels of the case and you cannot access them which will inevitably lead to clogged dust screens with very poor access that is going to eventually have you cussing like a sailor as you try to clean those screens out with some random jerry rigged q-tip style mini-brush. I bet you just can't wait for that one! Should you opt to utilize an AIO cpu cooler then your choices of where to place the radiator will be limited. Either up top which will allow you to fit a triple 120mm fan rad (360mm) just make sure you mind the height of your ram against the length of your AIO hoses. You could also fit a 240mm rad on the back panel set to exhaust. I recommend that you consider the 240mm rad and use the back panel mounting for it in order to exhaust the heated air out of the case and help to balance air pressure. This will then allow you to utilize the top of the case for intake fans to blow down over your components (or lack thereof). Heads up, no matter what you might think, learn from my mistake here. This case is simply NOT designed for 140mm fans even if it looks that way. They will not fit up top nor will they fit on the rear of the case. You can fit -at most- 2 140mm fans in the one slot on the back panel where you might opt to put your 240mm rad for the AIO. It is entirely sub optimal and your thermal management will suffer. However, this is your show so if you think putting in those dual 140mm fans for intake are going to fit the bill then go for it! I say intake because if you put your radiator on top and then use that for intake, well, that's just silly as you'll be blowing hot air into the case and over your components. But, hey, you do you boo! ;) Speaking of components let's discuss something I mentioned before. Do you recall when I said all that space inside the case was kind of like Montana? Well here's where that comes in very clearly. You have the cut outs that go no where so it limits air flow, but they've made the decision on an aesthetics level to only permit you to mount your graphics card in a vertical position with a cable riser that completely blocks off the PCIe slots available to you on your motherboard aside from adding in "low pro" cards for whatever you might need. Due to this you will quickly find that it doesn't feel very good to have purchased an expensive/fancy motherboard with add on cards that you simply can't use and leaves a whole lot of potential power and utility sitting on the table when all is said and done. I suppose you could likely hit the inside of the case with a dremel and maybe open up some of the lines inside of the case for better air flow, maybe even make a custom case mod so you can have a horizontal graphics card once again but you didn't pay roughly $150 (US) for a case like this only to have to then make "custom mods" to the interior just so you can use your components. It's just very frustrating. Ultimately this is a beautiful case, I can't really even knock it that hard on the aesthetics because it truly is wonderful to look at and for it's use case (hah! See what I did there?). The space you have available to you, the VERY well thought out case cut outs for cable management at the top and rear as well as back panel external grommets for further management. Ease of access is a wonderful innovation that I haven't seen in many other computer cases (and I hope I see it catch on). To the snap on panels that eliminate the need for thumb screws (or losing them), or for absolutely no shortage of built in loops and spots for cable ties and cable routing that just make someone who's got organizational OCD giggle with barely contained glee. However when it comes to quite possibly one of the most important aspects of a PC case, airflow. Hyte, has unfortunately missed the mark. The mandatory vertical GPU and riser cable is also a poor decision in my estimation. I'm sure I've missed a few key points about this case but I've already written a small novella here. So I will end here and give a score of 3 out of 5 stars making this case look like it has great potential but ultimately finding out that some of it was wasted and making for an average piece of case innovation. It states on the box that the Hyte Y40 is an S-tier aesthetic case and I'd say they're right. Sadly it's at best a B-tier for anything else. Would I recommend you get this case for your next build? That depends, are you someone who favors aesthetic over practical implementation of your components? Do you enjoy having free heat in the winter? Are you invested into various RGB companies in order to trick this thing out? Then this case is the one for you and I'd definitely recommend it for that. However, if you want to have ease of use, familiarity, access for all of your internal expansions, included RHB fans, convenient cable management options and comparable front panel I/O? Then, no. I'd say maybe save yourself a few bucks and instead get the Lian Li Lancool 205 Mesh C for about $30 (us) less. But that's just the review and opinion of some rando on the internet and your mileage may vary. Take care! TentacleBeast, out! Pics: 1: close up of the lines that aren't actually lines and the very small spaces you have to work with for bottom based exhaust or intake. You also only have a spot for a single fan, this is one of the few places you can put a 140mm fan, though since it's your cable pocket when all is connected you should be careful with this. 2: Inside the case with a motherboard and a couple fans illustrating the space but also the preferred method for installing an AIO radiator for the most efficient fan cooling. 3: This is the external top panel of the case, clean lines for sure looks very nice. 4: The back of the top panel wherein you get a taste of the first "aesthetic" fan filter which you cannot extract and cleaning will end up being a nightmare. Hope you don't have pets! 5: Front panel tempered glass with shot of bottom of panel I/O options. I actually really like the placement of the I/O on the bottom, it's not done enough in my opinion. 6: close up (blurry) of the front panel I/O 2x USB 3.0, 1x USB 3.2 Type C, 1x combined audio/mic jack. 7: External Panel, left side of pc facing away from user (generally). Again, clean lines no sharp corners very aesthetic and a sweet color of red. I wasn't too pleased at the small discoloration at the bottom left of the case but, such things happen I guess. 8: Back of the External panel with it's "built in" dust screen that has almost no room for airflow, let alone dust collection. With the way I have my AIO mounted that dust screen will be directly behind the radiator and an exhaust setup. Guess I'm thankful for small miracles when I eventually need to bust out the Q-tips to clean this sucker. 9: Inside the back panel in the cable management cradle illustrating the cavernous amounts of space in the pc to tuck your cables and get things routed as neatly as possible. Just don't use my cabling as an example because it's pretty janky. My bad. 10: This is a photo of the rear of the case highlighting the card mounting options. I'm seen pointing to the two mounting sections one is there basically for an up to 4 slot GPU while the others are for "whatever the hell else" you can fit behind the gpu and pray to whomever you worship that the card is small/short enough to not only function tucked behind a very pissy riser cable card, but that it won't get entirely choked off from case heat because your add-on card helped create an air pressure dead zone that will now contribute to your GPU overheating and then World War 3! OMG!!!! just don't do it people. Save the planet, save your AC in the summer! Pro-Tip: Put the case by a window outside. It's free real-estate! 11: And finally the very bottom of the case with a panel for covering and mounting a bottom fan as well as your PSU (power supply) This is, for some reason the ONLY place Hyte opted to include removeable dust screens. So it's not that they just didn't know, they just decided not to. Well played Hyte, well played.
- Super Dave2024-02-21This was a new direction of a build for me
I really liked the idea of a (what I call) fishtank build. Obviously its not an actual fish tank, but it's mostly glass, that still counts, right? Priced accordingly (a tad higher than average but ok), I got this with the mindset of an AM5 build. I also wanted to break away just a bit from the typical rectangular pc builds. I was keenly interested in the 45° angle of the front panel. This is BEFORE I found out what you can do with said angle! Fast forward a few weeks later, the case arrived. And there it sat in my garage for awhile longer, while I waited for additional components. But while I waited on parts, I accidentally came across pictures of what other builders did with that case, and my (at the time) current build idea went out the window. Little did I know that you can put a IPS panel display in that 45! I've never done a build with a monitor build INTO it, which is a really novel idea for me. So after much picture viewing, I began anew on what I was going to do. I didn't order the display from HYTE, as it was out of stock. I also didn't order from there because the info I came across required you to 3d print something for the display as well. I went with another brand panel display since I don't own a 3d printer (soon™). I digress... The case build went swimmingly. My previous build is in the ASUS GT501 in white. And while they state that its a mid tower, its not. Tons of room in there to move around. This hyte case is an actual mid tower. But its wide, so there's room, but in a different way. There's tons of space behind the mainboard standoffs for you to cram wires in, and space under the main floor for more wires, despite the fans there. There's even a tad bit of space for wires after you wire a 360mm aio in the top. There isn't however, alot of space on the topside nor downside of the board to run wires. It's a bit tight there. But its still doable. I had fun working with this case. It's a bit off the norm for me, and with the IPS display I bought for it (its almost a requirement, once you get it installed and look at it) you'll be glad you did. Pro tip: you don't need the hyte software to run on the ips screen, its literally a 2nd monitor with windows, and you can drag stuff there. As far as wallpapers go, there are selections on wallpaper engine (steam) you can choose from. Good luck!
