Corsair Graphite 600T Video Review

[dxwoodwardx]

Is there a better case than this out, or coming out very soon? How is the noise on this? I really want a quiet machine.

[Kryonproductions]

650d :O

[Danaceb]

What a dumb goddamn case; the one thing almost all personal gaming spaces have in common is limited space behind the desk. Well here comes Corsair once again blowing the proportions needlessly, this time with stupid fricken plastic fenders on the back.

[BingoGaming]

Lol, where's your I/O shield "enthusiast"?

[waspbr]

wish they had made it a silent case, noise absorption foam and rubber padding would have made this a fantastic case. 

[RussScrumandRuck]

@waspbr You can always just buy your own foam and rubber and install it. Its not that difficult.

[mrteemumilto]

Where is the keyhole for the cover lock?

[firebld]

I luv this case, got my i7-2700K watercool, GTX590 inside, functional ,, wish they come out this case in aluminium to make it lighter,, but then again it might cost a bom..

[Cavazzno]

@firebld how thick rad can you mount at the the top of the case ?

[SeanofZeus]

great review guys. I love watching your vids. One trifle I have with this case. at a price tag of 160 dollars. im supprised they didnt decide to add a side panel mesh with fan options like the carbide series I hate windows like the obsidian has. but say 1x200mm or 2x 120mm fans would have given this case a huge boot on extra cooling and like myself, thats on thing I look for. besides that this case is a kickass case. corsair is taking over the case world thats for sure!

[andresin323]

@SeanofZeus they actually do have both options (window or mesh) with the white edition and now with the black one too.

[SeanofZeus]

@andresin323 after posting that comment I found out a few minutes later that fact. but thanks.

[TheMrTantalum]

"Lower price"...but still expensive as shit.

[Moonface00z]

Good case but very crowded if you are building a mid end gaming pc or further

[xFRAGxMOVIESx]

litterally best case

[Moonface00z]

Corsair 600T is more like " Expensive " case because it provide rubber garments for cable management and thats it

Cooler Master 922 does the same thing but no rubber garments and 100$ cheaper

[deltalphapwns]

@Moonface00z Yea but the CM looks like crap compared to this thing.

[TikiShootah]

0 sidefan= crap cooling. 

[blkplauge]

@TikiShootah Yeah, this has to be an early version of the case or something, but now, both the white and black 600t come with a mesh side panel so you can install fans.

[RemnantsOfBeauty]

How does the fan controller work? how do you connect the fans to it ect? Molex or 3/4pin ? and where?

[jewie27]

Leave them oat?

[jkmyagoo]

like it but it is a little expencive

[JeremyDeal]

Good review, bought it and love it. Best mid tower at this price point by a long shot.

[jcvjcvjcvjcv]

The front looks like this fat (not negative!) case has eaten up some cheap small tower.

[Opeth1337]

Call me an idiot, but where do you put your CDs? :O

[phil2468101214]

@Opeth1337 u buy a cd drive, fair question. I was once like you

[StealthOps421]

@Opeth1337 The very top bays are for optical bays that you buy and install (around $20)

[PolyHeXanidE]

anyone know where the 2 pin fan controller cables go?? lol

[mikeallensonntag]

One more thing connect the H100 fans to case fan controller, It lets the fan be much quieter at idle.

H100 fan controller is garbage anyways, if you buy one and pay attention you will find same thing.

[mikeallensonntag]

8 people have rosewill cases! lol

[InverseBlue]

@mikeallensonntag lmao

[jleack]

Just bought this!

[mikeallensonntag]

Just ordered my white one from newegg tonight, With Corsair H100 - Going to attempt push/pull setup. I saw video other day of someone saying it cant be done. Im gona prove them wrong lol.

[Hacker71050]

@mikeallensonntag it doesnt have enough of those long screws to do a push pull u need to buy more

[mikeallensonntag]

@Hacker71050 Ya your right, that isnt a problem though.

[Hacker71050]

@mikeallensonntag i might go for the 400r

[mikeallensonntag]

@Hacker71050 Thats really good case also at its price. One to consider is this one, I have it also not bad case. LIAN LI Lancool PC-K57W

[Hacker71050]

im also might get the asus p8z68 V LE

[mikeallensonntag]

@Hacker71050 You gotta take fans and rad to lowes but you can get 6-32x3/4 screws for 12mm x120mm fans i used or I believe you need 6-32x1 1/4 screws for full size fan.

[TheTommyRamirez]

@mikeallensonntag Did you get the push / pull setup happening???

[mikeallensonntag]

Another thing to keep in mind, The Top grill is very restrictive on airflow. I was thinking getting Mnpctechs modders mesh to replace grill or cut fan holes into the mesh.

[arashtoop]

Looks so ugly, don't understand why everyone buys it :/

[Hacker71050]

@arashtoop the white edition is sexier

[mikeallensonntag]

@arashtoop Your just a hater, And you wish you had one of best cases on market.

[jmeddnumba1]

Hows the temps in this?

[SrryIThoughtUWasCorn]

GET A COOLERMASTER HAF 912 There way better

[mrcidbullit]

I bought this case about 2 weeks ago and i love it it is everything i ever wanted its so perfect it has it all except hot swap bays but u could buy that seperatley oh and i got the white edition its sexy i love it more then enough room

[BDfever]

what a beastt!!!!!!!!!!!...

[barf245]

getting the white one!

[Lcr2003]

Wow really glad I saw this review...I'm about to order my PC.

Seems just about **EVERY** case in this price range has **SOME** of these options. This is the only case that appears to have **ALL** of those options.

The easy-access dust filters sold me.

[SandburgSpartans]

Just bought one, ready to take apart my computer and transplant :D

[kingElie101]

does the power and reset buttons have white LEDS and dose the front 200m fan have white LED

[LookatthatSH1T]

@kingElie101

Front fan does not sure about the power/reset.

[Sorraxe]

Just ordered new computer parts and with this case. Only bad thing is this is sold out on entire Sweden and i have 2w8 for 2 weeks til i get all the peaces. This case is very popular here in Sweden gets 10/10.

[soccerplaya226]

When I saw this case online I thought it was a rip off. Thanks to your review, I might even buy this. Great in depth review and analysis.

[jewie27]

Nice lay-oat is what this case is a-boat. I have this case in my hoase.

[cmusic52]

Awesome Review, just Fantastic, showed the positives of the case like most people including myself would use them, very useful!!!

I sooo want this case now cause of the review

[ninjaturtle205]

how hard can it be to make a decent casing.

[Doobadoobas]

Just a warning the cooling sucks shit for the price... read the bit-tech review

[josh1303]

Wish it had a side window

[Doobadoobas]

@josh1303 the white edition comes with one. a window panel is also available from corsair for 30 dollars

[Doobadoobas]

Just ordered this!

[Doobadoobas]

Does this use internal usb 3 headers?

[blametruthfan]

@Doobadoobas No, it has one passthrough cable to plug into the port on your motherboard

[umarsharif3512]

Excellent Review!

[saidpour676]

Soo i can put my H70 watercooler in the top??

And still maintain good temps right?

[LightBringerize]

@saidpour676 i honestly dont think so, i think that it will interrupt the memory and cpu

[mario11168]

Right, a whole whopping $40 less than the Obisidan. For that difference I'd spend the extra $40 to get the Obsidian...

[wsultanish]

is it normal to get a boner looking at this case ?

[Thyrios]

@wsultanish it is!!

[mcinjere]

what water cooling system did you use for this build

[Rkogrl619]

Good review but ruined it by displaying a crappie motherboard.

[SeanofZeus]

@Rkogrl619 the mobo has nothing to do with the case review get over it.

[LightBringerize]

Cheap plastic? $160, CHEAP PLASTIC

[slosha69]

$160 for a mid tower? Lol, corsair.

[Fouge642]

@slosha69 It's a beast though. It's about full size if you ask me.

[Fouge642]

@slosha69 It's a beast though. It's about full size if you ask me.

[Fortune2point0]

DOWANTDOWANTDOWANTDOWANTDOWANT­

[MintyKanesh]

Corsair cases would be BRILLIANT if only they weren't terrible for air cooling.

[Demonwicked]

Dam this case is nice but they insist on asking 180 eur for it here

[MrShaduff]

£119 With Free Delivery

[ooBounceDKoo]

Way too expensive around these parts, $277 for this case.. Umm pass.

[katanimi]

i just creamed ma pants too hahaha im in love with this baby.

[ninjaturtle205]

im looking for something with similar features but with an industrial look

[nguyen1094]

@ninjaturtle205 cm sniper

[LongReach]

@nguyen1094  sorry man i voted you down by accident..........;/ I agree with the sniper recommendation. I have 600t and my friend has cm sniper..........sniper looks meaner.....600t looks more minimalist.

[enzogram]

w00t! Just bought it yesterday!

[kchhoeng]

Still waiting for my white one to come in.

[CIoudFire]

@kchhoeng same here man... the white one is sold out everywhere, mines gonna take like another 2 weeks to come in :( but will be damn worth it tho

[kchhoeng]

@CIoudFire

Well there hasn't been any shipments of it yet. I've trolling Corsair forums and spoken to a retailer and they are looking at early May.

[CIoudFire]

@kchhoeng LOL oh really? ah okai, for some reason I thought there were shipments out already. That would explain why I'm waiting for early May for them too, glad to know :)

[GT5Enthusiast]

Hmm indeed. the PEN makes you look very sophisticated :)

[Owenfx]

Hey people, I need some advice..I can't decide what case I should get out of the corsair graphite 900T, Cooler master storm sniper and the antec nine hundred two...I will be doing graphic design work, also video editing with after effects and cinema 4d etc..I need great airflow and enough space for water cooling, and which one has better fan control? I don't mind about how noisy it is either..thanks :)

[TheNewbpowner123]

@koop39 yes it does, very good ones actually :)

[koop39]

does this come with standoffs?

[wohoo5150]

$169? no thanks, i can get something better for that price

[Oldone11]

@wohoo5150

What???????, I want to see it.

[3674087574175895618]

this case in the limited edition white colour looks the dogs bollocks!

[Fridlyst]

One of the greatest chassies of all time!

[ViporTech]

PLEASE SUBSRIBE TO MY CHANEL< starting review service!!! subscribe!

[jtb1137]

@RebirthBeyond i believe it comes out in April so no worries

[vl199]

gonna buy one this monday

[RebirthBeyond]

why oh why is the white version impossible to find in Canada?

[diwali85]

how do you make it spin

[mujmujmuj]

I dont like the styling.

[Jubiejai]

i just bought one today, very satisfied, gonna transfer eevrything into that case!

[firebld]

can i fix corsair 800hx power supply inside this case... im looking in getting this case..

[jamma246]

Does anybody know if they are going to start selling these with the window already installed? I love the case, but I really want it windowed, afterall, with the amazing cable management, surely you'd want to show off the innards of your pc!

I know that they sell a side panel with window, but don't want to buy the case AND the side panel. Plus, I don't think they sell the windowed side panel here in the UK. May just get the white limited edition one with side panel...

[FreeFireGaming]

Can anyone tell me if the windowed side panel for this case is released yet??

It is on corsairs site but I can't find it anywhere.

[101PcTech]

@FreeFireGaming go to corsair and go to the product and look for corsair case accessories and it will be the first one on the list.

[kingElie101]

is the front fan a white LED or plain

[kyleswitch122]

Can the top 200mm fan be placed on the top, but the outside where you have the option to install 2x 120mm fans? and if 2x 120mm fans or the 200mm fan is placed on the top outside, is there wiring spots or enough length to hook up the fan pins to the mobo? Thanks for whoever answers, this case is gorgeous

[smeghead617]

can i fit triple crossfire in this?

[liquidbludd]

Very nice review.

[Shas221]

great review, as usual

[gwed0]

Hey, whats a better case...the corsair 600t or the coolermaster haf 922? Can anyone tell me?

[madebarriere]

@gwed0 Corsair...

in any case, i should* be compared to the HAF 932.

[Bestel1090]

@gwed0 I like the inside look of the corsair better and also its bigger so u wont have a problem about anything eventually. also it has a usb 3 port. easier to clean. I was deciding too and ended up getting the corsair lol. hope that helps.

[gwed0]

@Bestel1090 Thanks, my only concern is that it will overheat since I'm not going to get liquid cooling. How's the ventilation?

[Bestel1090]

@gwed0 Oh I see its pretty good i think big fans work pretty good and u can remove the hard drives for better cooling the front vent is point at ur graphice cards. I havent had any problems with it yet. the only thing i was concerned with was the price but i found it on tigerdirect same price as a HAF932 and compared to that its bigger so that made my decision.

[caranddriverMing]

can u mount a 240mm radiator on top with 4  120mm fans on this case

[TracerGTX]

This is a great case. Might be better then the Cooler Master Sniper chassis. Yes, ther is a version with side window and mesh, apparently interchangeable. Just vist there site.

[excelerater]

I just creamed my pants

[LightBringerize]

I just jizzed in my pants

[SpaceCT]

@excelerater "... then I Jizz in my pants !"

[MrFictive]

@excelerater I think we all did, man. Nothing to be ashamed about.

[acogscopepwn]

why wouldn't they give you a side window if there are so many cable management options

[Epsilon0703]

How do you ground yourself to cases that are painted black?

[LOLitsJono]

I somewhat regret buying the Corsair 600t. I love the aesthetic design as building and wiring was an absolute DREAM. However, a huuuuuuuuuuuge flaw of the Corsair 600t is the AIR FLOW.

My absolute BIGGEST gripe is the front intake fan. First of, it's like 200mm. This fan is large but doesn't move a lot of air, it's rather weak, even with the fan controller cranked ALLLLLLLLLLL the way up. Now, I've got GentleTyphoons that I can put but only one would fit, and I would have to use zip ties. :/

[Fokosmok]

Have you bought NEW BRAIN yet people?

[St1n9]

When I build my next PC (should be in the next couple of months), I'm doing it in this case!

[Gripen90]

Will this case be able to cool 3x GTX 580 in 3-way-SLi ? I'm currently using a Coolermaster CM 690 nVidia Ed. which can, but I would like some better cablemanagement options.

[St1n9]

@Gripen90 - Dude, are you growing money in that garden of yours!

[Gripen90]

@St1n9 Hehe I'd wish. However I went for a NZXT Phantom.

[St1n9]

@Gripen90 - Just a thought though, Guru 3D tested the 580 in two-way SLI with an i7-965 @ 3.7GHz and hit a CPU bottleneck! :-D. You are going to need some serious horsepower (i7-980x oc'd) and one helluva power supply. Still, I'd like to see what your system is capable of when it's built ;-) Even IF your electricity bill is vomit inducing.

[Gripen90]

@St1n9 I play at minimum 1920x1200 32xCSAA. There's only a CPU bottleneck in CPU limited games. In Metro 2033 going from 2 to 3 cards gave about 25-30FPS increase. It's all just a matter of what you play and how you play it :)

[gutbesserscrubs]

I´ve buy a Corsair Graphite 600 T yesterday

[Jak3Mac]

Its so cool air from outside the case flows thro the rad fins. Not warm air from in the case.

[dudedude873]

i heard the airflow is rather poor in this case. Would it be an idea to change the top 200mm fan and put in 2 120mm intake fans??

[lil0egy0kid]

No window :D

No stupid lights

beautiful sleek simple design

amazing interior and exterior

Finally a company that gets it

[dudedude873]

@lil0egy0kid im afraid you will get dissapointed. The front and top fan are White LED fans ;) so there are a few lights.

[lil0egy0kid]

@dudedude873

I know about the white LED's and i like them hence no stupid lights as in blue, green,red.

White LED is simple.

[dudedude873]

@lil0egy0kid True true :) the white LEDs make it quite classy dont you think ^^?

[toyilanglamko]

No side window panel. It's a must for me.

[LOLitsJono]

Hey HardwareCanucks, love your reviews:

I've got a question, can you mount 120mm fans? I wanna put 2x GentleTyphoon AP-15's as intake for this case. I've heard that airflow in this case is poor due to the 200mm fan (I would think -- low static pressure).

[Aristowi]

When installing the radiator like at 4:17 and the fans at the top under the top mesh piece, are the fans installed as an intake or exhaust? I would put them as intake, but I wanted to hear some suggestions when installing the radiator and the fans like in this video. Thanks

[SuperGoemon]

would this case fit gigabyte ga-890fxa-ud7 motherboard ( cause it has about 2cm extra in length than the standard atx mobo size )

[c3026209]

On the plus side it has excellent cable management and plenty of space for upgrading your hardware. Plus it looks good. But in my opinion, the criticisms I mentioned before make other cases a better solution.

[c3026209]

Would not reccommend buying this case despite buying it myself. Dust filters are almost a fly screen mesh (will not keep the dust out of the system). 200mm fans are nowhere near silent despite operating at lower RPM's and are also difficult to replace. Seeing as the functionality of an excellent case is to provide silent effective cooling and dust protection (in my opinion) I would definitely recommend a Lian Li mid-tower solution over this.

[KuSQ3N]

800d is still the best i love it

[Kommandant986]

For the top 120mm fans, where would you loops the wires into the case?

[aviftw]

I wonder if this case will be able to take a Cooler Master 4-in-3 Hard drive cage, such as the ones that used to ship with the original cm Stacker. If it does, then I'd be able to stick at least 11 HDs in there, making it closer to what I would need it for.

[Vegetas]

Wow... my jaw is on the floor. This case just looks amazing!

[dudedude873]

Respect for this review you are telling everything you need to know about a case when creating a system! btw is it possible to put in some more USB 2.0 ports at the back?

greetz from holland

[Neeverseen]

@dudedude873

There are always some USB ports on the back of the computer my Freund.

They are installed on your motherboard and you get a thin piece of metal to make it fit .^^

Greets from your neighbour Germany

[dudedude873]

@Neeverseen LOL allright after i read your reaction i tought DOO!! (homer simpson style) because i realised how stupid it must have sounded anyway im kinda new into pc assemblage and components XD im gonna use this case and my q6600 i jsut need to find a good Motherboard for clocking :( any ideas :)?

[Neeverseen]

@dudedude873

I don't know what DDR version of the socket 775 you have. I guess it is DDR3

so I would consider you to take the ASUS P5P43TD/USB3 iP43 , it has been proved in test that it is pretty good in overclocking ^^

[2fast4all]

I bought this case last Friday, its freakin AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

[HonestViolence]

The BEST case you can wish (thumbs up) (^^,)

[helarymax]

Online Asian wives lushfmlk.info

[EWColaCanada]

Can the 600T fit a Corsair H70? I'm pretty sure that it can fir a H50 at least.

[cjgan80]

@EWColaCanada Of course it can!

[Intel1502]

@EWColaCanada yup. watch one of linustechtips videos, he shows how to cable manage this case, he also has a h70 in there in u want to take a peek at what i looks like ;)

[DemonCrucify]

What radiator is that? How thick is it? Will this case fit a 54mm thick radiator?

[Techniquezander]

Great Video, im going to get this case.

Tech

[Quicken2k]

Can this case handle the H70 cooler from Corsair?. Wanted this case for a build with the H70.

[neosonic66]

corsair reps have said some sort of side panel window and/or mesh option is coming. I think that ll make this case a no-brainer.
