Hyte Y60 chassis review - Specification and features

Specification and features

Some marketing info first, the model was officially introduced on 15^th March 2022:

“The uniquely constructed Y60 ATX case features a three-part, bezel-less, tempered glass front and side panel that provides an unobstructed internal view from a left, right or center orientation. When the glass panels are removed, chamfered molding on the ceiling and floor of the case draws the eye inward, creating a modern aesthetic and allowing the system to be displayed in an open-air format. Users will have the option to choose from three colorways, white and black, black and black, and red and black, to best fit the aesthetic of their setup.

Designed to mount and display the graphics card (GPU) vertically, the HYTE Y60 has a 4.0 PCIe riser cable to support the latest GPUs available. To avoid unsightly PCB connections and create a unified color scheme, HYTE has color-matched the custom riser canopy to complement the outside of the Y60. Additionally, the Y60 allows installing half-height expansion cards, capture cards, or PCIe SSDs behind the vertical GPU.

The Y60 was carefully crafted with a continuous ventilation pattern that flows over the top of the case, down the rear side, and continues to the internal floor of the case. Three 120 mm fans come pre-installed in the Y60, one in the rear for exhaust and two in the basement of the case to prioritize the graphics card’s cooling. Users will have the ability to mount radiators in two locations with compatibility of up to 280 mm on the side and up to 360 mm on the top.

With external dimensions of 456 mm (L) x 285 mm (W) x 462 mm (H), the unique angles of the Y60 make it possible for users to orient their system on the left or right side of a setup without compromising accessibility. The front I/O is located on the corner piece of the Y60 and features two USB 3.0 Type-A ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, and a 3.5 mm combo jack. The dual-chamber layout of the Y60 simplifies cable management and provides the user with ample space to route and store unused cables.”

Features:

• Panoramic Views

No corner pillar. The Y60 features a 3-piece panoramic tempered glass design for the ultimate photo and display potential. See your build the way it was meant to be seen from your desk’s left or right side with a simple turn.

• Exclusively Vertical GPU Mounted

Why would you want to see your graphics card any other way?       

• Included 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. The protective shroud is the first of its kind, made specifically for the Y60.               

• Antechamber Construction

Segment cables from thermal components turn your PC into a work of art. 

• Cold Floor Cooling

Eliminate hot spots with sweeping lateral vents from fans tastefully tucked into the basement of the Y60.

The three pre-installed Flow FE12 fans with fluid-dynamic bearings provide whisper-quiet operation.
