Inside

So to complement the panoramic glass windows on the Y60, the interior layout of the case has a similar layout to the always popular O11 Dynamic which puts the motherboard on the left and a recessed blow through the mounting area for a radiator on the right near the front of the case. This is the same layout that Thermaltake has used on their open air P1/3/5 cases as well. The Y60 supports a full ATX motherboard and EATX as well. Then on the right for the radiator mounting area they support a dual 120mm radiator or a dual 140mm radiator/fans and as far as depth goes there is enough room to go with as thick of a radiator and even push/push fans as well without getting out in front of the video card. The case layout can work with air cooling or an all-in-one water cooler but custom water cooling is not only possible but encouraged with the visibility offered. The striped “cold floor” also means that mounting a pump with a reservoir on top can be put almost anyplace in the case and I imagine it won't be long before distribution blocks pop up taking advantage of the glass shape.

The PCI bracket design is especially unique with the half-height brackets in the standard orientation and Hyte does make a point to point out that you can still use half-height devices behind the vertical GPU. Which for gaming mostly means some PCIe SSDs or M.2 adapters and a few capture cards. I’ve also been saying for years now that most builds don’t need to be any larger than ITX because most people aren’t using any of the extra PCI slots so for a lot of situations this shouldn’t be a big deal. The Riser card is custom to Hyte and supports PCIe 4.0. It comes installed and the bottom slot is integrated into the bottom of the case. The top part of the adapter has a full housing made with the Hyte branding and the right-angled line shape of the Y60. This housing is color-matched to the case, which for ours is black but the white version has a white riser and the red has a red riser. That part comes mounted to one of the half-height slots but can be adjusted down to other slots depending on where your PCIe slots are on your motherboard. Then for the GPU itself, Hyte left enough room for a full 3 slot GPU with almost an inch from there to the glass so there should be airflow, especially with the bottom fans blowing up on to the card. This case is designed to feature your most expensive component, the video card.

image 33At the rear of the case, the Y60 comes with a third fan which mounts above the rear I/O on the motherboard. It is a 120mm exhaust fan and it has the same black housing and grey finish with the Hyte logo embossed in the center as the two bottom fans. These aren’t crazy fans and I would imagine if you are running nice fans for your radiator that you would want to replace this one but Hyte does include the three fans just in case you aren’t planning on doing that.

The motherboard tray has a huge hole cut in its top half for access to the back of any CPU for installing a backplate. They mention ITX board support but this hole is wide enough that you will see if for some reason you go with that small of a board so keep that in mind. The hole also has the Hyte logo cut into it which is readable from the back of the case. Then for wire management from the rear to the front to the right of your motherboard, there are two tall holes with a unique rubber grommet in each.

So the cold floor or open-air bottom of the Y60 has the same shape/design as the top of the case which has that L-shaped stripes to match the corner design of the case. There is a hole just past the PCIe bracket where you can feed your GPU power cable up through if you would like and if you look closely there is also a hole in the motherboard backplate to run cables up to the bottom row of the motherboard as well. The top of the Y60 has a top bracket designed to hold fans or a radiator. The specifications list support for up to a 360mm long radiator or 3x 120mm if you prefer that. Though not listed in the specifications it does look to also support a 2 x 140 mm configuration as well. The top can fit up to a 28 mm thick radiator before getting down into the motherboard space.

The rear panel is held in place with the one thumb screw and then the two ball mounts at the top and the metal panel does have the plastic panel permanently attached on the back with the full panel filter. I was really hoping this would be attached with magnets and removable for cleaning. The back of the case is designed with most of the space to be on the right behind the motherboard. The left area where the radiator mount is pushed up near the side panel to get most of that air blowing through the panel, not into the back of the case. Everything is blacked out to match the black case including the wires coming from the front panel that are bundled up back here.

The left side does have a small gap of 1 centimeter which is enough room to feed a few wires around into the main compartment like the front panel cables come. Then on the right side, you have 90 mm or 9 cm of space. There is a bottom section below the mounting bracket for the power supply which you can see here and two large holes to pass through into under the floor or up through the small hole for the bottom area of the motherboard. They also have two large clips to zip tie cables too here as well.

The power supply then sits right behind the motherboard and it has support for up to 235 mm in length and a standard ATX size. Above that are the two hard drive cages that are removed out the back which you will need to remove if you want to get to the big CPU bracket hole. To the left, the rubber grommets that go up the side of the motherboard have those vent-like flaps on them to try to hide any view into this half of the case. There are more wire tie hold downs near those and up at the top of the case as well.
