1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:06,520
so I looked at this case and I went oh it's like the 600t but updated to be

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:09,679
sleeker with like more features and stuff and then according to the

3
00:00:07,879 --> 00:00:13,799
reviewers guide uh that's exactly what they were going for so mission

4
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:13,799
accomplished

5
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:25,599
Corsair Cooler Master V series semi modular power supplies feature 80 plus

00:00:23,439 --> 00:00:30,320
gold efficiency and their gold guarantee 5-year warranty click now to learn more

7
00:00:28,439 --> 00:00:35,600
as always it starts with the Box that goes around the Box will your 780t reach

8
00:00:33,239 --> 00:00:40,440
you in one piece the answer is most probably the packing foam was broken in

9
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:44,239
more than one place but ours had no visible damage on it whatsoever other

10
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:48,719
than the Corsair badge that fell off which we then later found and reattached

11
00:00:47,079 --> 00:00:53,320
onto documentation and accessories Corsair's blown up view of the case with

12
00:00:51,199 --> 00:00:57,280
handy dandy screw type reference chart approach works well for this case but as

13
00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:01,239
always you can find a more complete version online speaking of screws

14
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:05,400
Corsair includes everything you need but nothing in the way of eye-catching

15
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:10,000
extras like those cool screw containers that fantex throws in with their

16
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:13,960
similarly priced cases which leads to my first complaint about the case in the

17
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:18,640
conclusion of this review of the original 600t an Onex writer who happens

18
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:23,680
to be our technical marketing contact at cors there now small world says that

19
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:28,520
compared to its Circa 2010 competition the build quality felt cheaper and that

20
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:32,280
the casee was quite expensive 4 years later I feel like it's repl placements

21
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:37,479
construction is still not impressive to me given the Fairly premium price tag

22
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:41,640
cuz I'm just not that into the plastic look although some people may feel

23
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:46,520
differently about this now to be clear I'm not calling the case bad and since

24
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:51,000
it's a computer tower and not a support trust in the real world it'll likely

25
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:55,960
never matter I'm just saying that much like the 760t which I reviewed here and

26
00:01:53,560 --> 00:02:02,240
think is an awesome Case by the way the 780t sacrificed some structural rigidity

27
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:06,159
to the convenience and style gods in exchange for among other things a

28
00:02:04,399 --> 00:02:10,399
massive Plexi window that lets you see all the guts and all their Glory stylish

29
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:14,720
plastic feet that keep the case off the floor so a bottom mounted radiator or

30
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:18,879
power supply fan can still get access to fresh air and reconfigurable drive cages

31
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:23,760
that can be hung from the top stacked from the bottom or removed alog together

32
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:28,400
to make room for a 280 or 360 mm Radiator in the front and it's not like

33
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:32,840
the whole design is Impractical anyway the front has a super easy to remove

34
00:02:30,599 --> 00:02:38,040
filter that reveals two of the included 140 mm fans and it's got two 5 and 1/4

35
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:42,159
in bays in case you still use those at the top we find another easily removed

36
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:48,920
fan filter this one revealing room for a thick 280 or 360 mm radiator Andor the

37
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:51,959
accompanying fans front USB 2 front USB

38
00:02:48,920 --> 00:02:55,480
3 front audio a too easy to hit by

39
00:02:51,959 --> 00:02:57,200
accident IMO reset button a three mode

40
00:02:55,480 --> 00:03:02,680
fan controller that controls up to five fans and finally the same automobile

41
00:03:00,519 --> 00:03:07,120
design inspired power button that we first saw on the 380t a nice touch a

42
00:03:05,640 --> 00:03:10,599
quick glance at the back reveals water cooling holes another radiator mounting

43
00:03:08,879 --> 00:03:19,040
point pre-populated with the final included 140 mm fan this one without

44
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:21,280
LEDs and sheesh nine PCI expansion slots

45
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:24,959
that's enough for a triple slot card in the bottom of a standard ATX board a

46
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:31,840
double slot card in the bottom of an eight slot xlx board or a double slot in

47
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:35,680
Quad SLI on a standard board with ample

48
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:37,319
Breathing Room the 780t is the 600t

49
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:42,799
successor in more ways than just appearance this bad boy is meant to be a

50
00:03:40,439 --> 00:03:47,040
perfect choice for extreme systems running air cooling which doesn't mean

51
00:03:45,439 --> 00:03:50,439
that it lacks liquid cooling options either in addition to the mounting

52
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:55,840
points I already mentioned the bottom of the case along with its front and rear

53
00:03:52,599 --> 00:03:57,920
access filters has a final 240 mm

54
00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:01,439
radiator mounting slot that you can use if you don't need your hard drive cages

55
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:05,720
down there there all right so let's crack her open shall we the side panels

56
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:12,079
can be released with handle style latches on either side and the first

57
00:04:07,959 --> 00:04:14,879
thing I notice is man this thing suffers

58
00:04:12,079 --> 00:04:20,079
albeit to a lesser degree than the 900d from Hardware dwarfism a condition that

59
00:04:18,199 --> 00:04:26,400
makes even high-end Hardware like this GTX 780ti and asws motherboard look tiny

60
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:30,400
inside it this roomy interior is going to be a dream for folks with large hands

61
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:34,520
or who want to throw additional stuff that Corsair didn't

62
00:04:32,199 --> 00:04:38,960
think of inside like motherboard tray mounted cylinder reservoirs other than

63
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:42,560
sheer spaciousness there's nothing terribly groundbreaking about the

64
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:46,919
interior though I like Corsair's removable 2 and 1/2 in toolless mounts I

65
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:52,000
like the high quality rubber grommet material I like the adjustable height

66
00:04:49,199 --> 00:04:56,960
rear fan Mount and I really like the extremely spacious cable management area

67
00:04:54,440 --> 00:05:03,639
behind the motherboard tray with ample Cable Management Loops another 600t

68
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:06,120
Carri over but at closer to $200 than to

69
00:05:03,639 --> 00:05:10,680
15 there are also a few things I feel like could have been improved so here

70
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:14,199
come the uh nitpicky complaints some cable management could have been a bit

71
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:18,560
better the front audio connector is long enough to connect to your neighbor PC

72
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:22,160
and the top-mounted fans have only one place where wires can be routed but

73
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:26,039
unless you're using the long leads on the cases built-in fan control or

74
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:29,680
extensions to your motherboard it might not be very easy to access this is an

75
00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:33,039
issue for me because while I appre appreciate the built-in fan speed toggle

76
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:36,840
one of the reasons I'm partial to assus motherboards is their excellent onboard

77
00:05:35,039 --> 00:05:40,720
fan control and this case makes it slightly less convenient to use which

78
00:05:38,639 --> 00:05:43,560
leads to nitpick number two there are two Cable Management grommet locations

79
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:48,440
that I feel were left out of the motherboard tray top Center and bottom

80
00:05:45,919 --> 00:05:52,880
right almost every board has a CPU fan header in the top Center and front panel

81
00:05:50,639 --> 00:05:56,560
connectors bottom right I'm guessing that these were left out to maintain as

82
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:59,759
much structural rigidity as possible given the way that the motherboard tray

83
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:03,319
free balls without support from those removable hard drive cages but I still

84
00:06:01,639 --> 00:06:07,759
would have liked to have them which ties into nitpick three the hard drive cages

85
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:12,639
I know we're stuck with them for a while because Corsair has so many cases that

86
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:17,880
use the design but I promise to keep complaining about Corsair's 3 and 1 half

87
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:20,039
in cages until they stop using them or

88
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:25,680
everyone on Earth stops using hard drives and switches over to ssds

89
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:33,039
whichever of those two things happens to come first which I guess leads us pretty

90
00:06:29,039 --> 00:06:36,120
well into to conclusion time the 780t is

91
00:06:33,039 --> 00:06:38,120
good but it didn't blow me away with its

92
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:43,599
striking industrial design the way the 760t did it's good but not amazing and I

93
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:48,039
also think they missed a huge opportunity to make the cable management

94
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:52,520
look fantastic by putting a basement separation in this case rather than this

95
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:56,360
open area with its kind of cheesy SATA cable management hole on the bottom that

96
00:06:54,440 --> 00:07:00,919
leaves the wires not only exposed but even visible through the large side

97
00:06:58,479 --> 00:07:05,720
panel window all of that said I feel obliged to remind longtime viewers of my

98
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:10,199
show and tell the new ones that I tend to go a little hard on Corsair because

99
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:13,319
my expectations of them are so high based on their history of innovation so

100
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:18,720
take all these complaints in the appropriate context if anyone but Corsair had released this case I would

101
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:23,120
have likely overlooked most of these flaws and praised the case as an

102
00:07:20,919 --> 00:07:27,120
Enthusiast air Cooler's Delight with some surprisingly solid build options

103
00:07:24,919 --> 00:07:30,680
for liquid coolers to and a striking industrial design with smooth curves

104
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:36,520
well placed mesh and that front illumination that's a really nice touch

105
00:07:33,199 --> 00:07:37,960
so maybe that's the right conclusion but

106
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:42,759
I'm not going to start going easy on George now right I mean I've been at it

107
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:45,919
for this long anyway guys like this video if you liked it dislike it if you

108
00:07:44,599 --> 00:07:51,080
disliked it leave a comment letting me know what do you think of the 780t

109

particularly compared to the 760t given

110
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:57,879
their similar price point and you know similar overall features which one do

111
00:07:55,840 --> 00:08:01,280
