Corsair Graphite 760T White Edition

2014-03-27
excellent hey guys and welcome back to Pauls hardware today's video is all about the brand new corsair graphite series 760 t computer case and i would be saying this is my review of this case but i've never really comfortable reviewing a product or a case in particular until i've actually built a system in it unfortunately I am planning to completely redo my personal system in this case very very soon or as soon as I possibly can at least so stay tuned for that video coming up in the future where I'll be giving a lot more sort of feedback as far as building in the case and that whole experience for now I'm going to do a basic unboxing I'll be going over all the features and give you guys a nice close up look as well as as well as giving you a few of my pros and cons just initial feedback I'm taking it out of the box and getting a closer look at it so that said here it is the corsair graphite series 760 t so after getting it out of the box first we'll take a look at the packaging you have very very nice thick closed cell foam and i don't usually talk about packaging that i want to mention it here because these boxes are often used to reshape full computer builds and that's very nice to have extra padding also a black shroud that protects the finish when you first take it out now this is the white version of the coarser graphite 760 t it also comes with white led's throughout and there's another version that's available that has a black finish with red LEDs now it carries over some of the look from the corsair graphite 600 t a little bit but in style it's really much closer to the more recent 230 t i do really like that there is more metal to the finish although there's still a lot of plastic on the front bezel dimensions are 568 millimeters high 246 millimeters wide a 564 millimeters deep that's twenty two point four by nine point seven five twenty two point two inches we also have tons of other board support for all the standard motherboards you'd expect plus e ATX and excel ATX so lots of flexibility there on the front panel you have a headphone and microphone jack two speed fan control a couple USB 2.0 and a couple USB 3.0 ports as well as backlight to that white reset and power buttons at the top we have our first potential radiator mount and there's a ton of radiator support in this case you can fit a 360 millimeter or two hundred eighty millimeter rad up here and you also have a removable magnetic top panel that you leave on to reduce some of the noise if you don't need the airflow you also have three front five and a quarter inch bays one of them has a little fold down panel for your optical drive so you can sort of maintain the same look which is kind of nice and then just like the 600 T there is a pop out front intake dust filter I absolutely love these and I will never run a case that does not have removable dust filters behind the desk filter you can see two of the three included 140 millimeter AF 140 L fans the two on the front have white LEDs also up here you have support for a 240 millimeter or 280 millimeter radiator on the left side you have a hinged side panel with a full window and this is one of the features that really jumps out at you I love the easy access of the hinge side panel I do prefer the kind of lift up and off method that the 600 T side panel had to be perfectly honest but what can you do the doors can be removed completely by simply lifting them up off their hinges so that's very nice then on the back you have some hex ventilation right up at the top that shows how much radiator height there is also a 140 millimeter rear exhaust AF 140 L fan though this one does not have an LED standard i/o shield knockout and then nine expansion slots for that XL ATX support you also have a standard bottom mounted PSU and then on the bottom of the case you have really wide sturdy stands with rubber feet on the bottom there's a 120 millimeter fan or radiator mount that opens up if you remove that drive cage that's above it and then you have a nice removable dust filter for the power supply as well which I also like the right side panel opens up just like the left although it is opaque rather than clear and it provides a nice look at the cable management area you also get a first look at that black interior finish and it has black front panel cabling as well rubber grommets for the cable routing holes a very generous CPU backplate cutout and then back here you also get for 2.5 inch side mounted tool-free SSD trays which I really like these cages are really simple to use they're also easily removed if you don't need them and their positions to put the connectors in a really ideal spot to show off the drive and sorry if this vertex to brings back in a nightmare anybody by the way I'm also quite fond of the angled top part of the motherboard tray which gives you a bit more space for radiators as well as routing cables behind the radiator apart from that you have a little more than an inch of space between the tray and the side panel and you have some thoughtfully placed cable tie downs as well as many many options for passing cables back from the main chamber moving on to the interior beneath the smoky glass window we have a removable reconfigurable drive cage configuration so you get to drive cages out of the box and support for up to six 3.5 inch or 2.5 inch drives you can also maybe find a way somehow to buy two more of these drive cages and then you can actually install up to 12 drives here total plus the four 2.5 inch side mounted SSD trays of course so tons of drive support you get a really nice black painted interior pre-installed motherboard standoffs plus the nice permanent anchor point at the center that will kind of hold the motherboard in place while you secure down the rest of the screws here's another look at that rear 140 millimeter exhaust fan and then below it the expansion slots do come with black thumb screws you've also got three tool free five and a quarter inch drive bays up at the top and then for graphics card support you can do up to three hundred and forty millimeter cards with the drive cage installed and four hundred and sixteen millimeter cards without that two-speed front panel controller is powered with a SATA plug and you get for three or four pin headers that use three pin voltage control also your standard front panel connectors with a kind of unfortunate burst of color but you get block plugs for USB 2.0 USB 3.0 and HD audio if I have a complaint initially hear about the 760 T would be the power supply mount some padding here would have been nice for some noise and vibration reduction also the hard drive trays are a design that I've seen many many times before and I generally despise they need to be flexed and kind of wrapped around 3.5 inch drives and the four plugs just never really seem to like to stay in place but overall though damn seven six eighty is beautiful and it is packed with features so first glance the course I graphite 760 T strikes me as a fantastic case I really like the design I like the window I like the fact you've got this side panel latch you can just open and everything I really like how I managed to get all this plastic back on there like perfectly isn't that amazing continuity anyway thanks for watching this video guys and if you're interested in when you can buy this case and I know a lot of you are because when I first tweeted a picture when I picked it up a bunch of tweets back to me saying where can i buy that when can I buy that and the answer is now you should be able to buy it right now I'll post a link in the description to this case for sale over on Newegg and while you're down there go ahead and click the like button maybe leave me a comment in the comment section about what you think of this case and when you speculate the hardware it might be that IV I might be installing in it and whether or not I might be planning a water cooling loop at some point did I just say that I hope I didn't say that anyway thank you so much for watching this video guys see you all next time
