Corsair Graphite Series 760T review

We test and review the all new Corsair Graphite Series 760T chassis. The chassis is of course finds its legacy in the Graphite series but this one is different, in many ways. The looks are insane with a big redesign, large see through window, hinged and latched doors, magnetic top panel and even a fan controller. It is one of these x-factor products really, and will get embraced by the PC enthusiast community. The chassis is a mid-tower based chassis. Let's have a peek at what Corsair has to offer shall we?

I'd grab this case over Corsair's new Obsidian 450D in a heartbeat. Even at $60 more than the 450D, this case, IMO, offers better design and functionality. A BIG plus with this case is, unlike the 450D, the bottom filter slides out for cleaning rather than attaching magnetically thereby requiring the case be tipped to remove the filter. I love the four SSD mounting slots (like the 750D) in the back.
I'm very happy with my Enthoo Primo so another case would have to be really something to be considered "worthy". I think the 760T comes mighty close

Very pricey.... I like the look and layout very much though. I think I've found my next case.

As much as I love my 350D, this looks sexy! though I've down-sized to mATX for the better and its super light. But gah looks nice!

Nice case, but i need room for 2 x 360 rads(push pull) and enough room for 2 XSPC X2O 750 L/ph 12V V4 pumps, 3 fan controllers and my dvd burner, maybe call it Graphite 1000T.

Some of their cases are pricey, others are actually very cheap. I have owned 3 cases ranging from $100- $300 and they all have lived up to the expectations. I have noticed that the cheaper cases have a lot more plastic. I currently am using my air 540 and I love the design. There is a lot more plastic, but for the $129 it cost, the airflow and overall design are well worth it. I have bought cases that are cheaper from other companies and the material and overall finish of the product is just not the same.
Liking the side panel, very elegant. Is it just me or are Corsair's cases kinda pricey, though?

Thats a nice little case considering the size and what you can put in it.
So you can get a triple rad in the roof and a single rad on the rear fan.
You could also get another double in the front if you remove one of the drive bays.
So you would have 2xtriple rads in there in total which is more than enough for any setup especially if you get the RX or TC Rads (60mm). I dont know whether you could fit monster rads in here but all in all quite a good case.
As for Push and Pull you dont need it for the Thick RX or TC rads as a lower fan speed is preferred. Either will do, no more than 1200 speed fans otherwise noise picks up. If your gonna go push and pull you may as well put shroud on also.
Thing is i dont think you would be able to go push and pull in that case with a Thick Rad at the top without hitting mobo. Push and pull with thin rad or either with Thick rad.
Thick rad will be better with either push or pull but not both as it probably wont fit.

this is why i got the 900D, it was able to fit my 360mm and 480mm rads in there

WANT WANT WANT - that case looks gorgeous!
I already own a white Graphite 600T but am currently not happy with the side panel placement.
This would make a worthy upgrade to it!

Tbh i wish id not bought my 900d. This case woulda been better for me. 2 triple rx rads is more than enough for cooling whole chipset and 2 cards in sli, maybe even 3 cards with good oc on all.

mmm could be my next case, having trouble finding a decent case that i like so far this year ive had the 900D and now the Air 540 have not really liked both of them, looking forward to a Thermaltake Urban T81 review as this case looks promising...

yep looks tempting. 900d is just too big for me...
still my hafx works so why change? the lack of removable dust filters is an irritation.
feather duster plus vaccuum cleaner can do so much.
and am yet to find a solution to removing dust from my radiator.

I had a Hafx before my 900D and Air 540 and sadly those couldn't compare in the air cooling area, well for a sli setup anyway. i was almost going to buy another, just after the best case to help cool two graphics decently...that 760T sure does look nice

I fail to see how the air 540 was not working for you with air cooling? Please explain. I have this with my current setup and I am running with excellent temps. Even with everything OC'd my case runs a massive amount of air through it. keep the room at 68 degrees and never have my video cards touched 70 degrees, and my 3770k is on a H100 at 4.8ghz. Its ok if you didn't like it, but if your going to say something does not work please explain why it did not.

All I'm saying is that the 540 does not cool my 2x780gtx as well as the Hafx did, other than that the 540 air is a great case just not good for my non-reference cooled Asus gtx780 DC2OC cards.

Highly recommend this case if you want to show off your insides.
I happened on a new, black 760T a couple days ago for $120 off a local seller. This is a fantastic case. I really liked the Corsair 750D case that I used for my daughter's build last year, but this 760T is even more stunning. The window is gorgeous and the ease of opening either side panel makes it fantastic to work in.
It has 2 red case fans and a red power button so it inspired me to go all red with the aesthetics (my last setup was blue). I ended up blowing another $150 on 16gb of red ram, 1 more red case fan and a red LED version of my Zalman 9900MAX cooler (simply to swap out the blue fan it currently has). At least now my SoundBlaster Z, with it's twin red floodlights, as well as my red colored MSI 970, will have
