1
00:00:01,919 --> 00:00:07,680
graphite it's not quite as strong as

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:11,799
obsidian but it's still pretty cool because you can actually put it in

3
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:17,160
pencils and write with it and apparently you can also brand a Corsair case with

4
00:00:14,559 --> 00:00:22,160
graphite so this is the graphite series 600t from Corsair I've received yes I

5
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:29,359
know you know what I'm about to say but I'm going to say it anyway I have received endless requests to unbox and

6
00:00:26,519 --> 00:00:33,559
do a first look video of this case I actually should have had one sooner but

7
00:00:31,519 --> 00:00:38,040
it looks like it got lost in the mail or something something terrible happened

8
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:45,079
and I didn't have one until now but I finally do and we are going to run it

9
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:51,719
through the paces so I am doing the unboxing portion of the video now where

10
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:55,000
I un the box and then we will proceed in

11
00:00:51,719 --> 00:00:57,719
just a moment with looking at the case

12
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:01,920
and doing the first look part of the video now I've actually seen one in

13
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:07,000
person already so I cheated a little bit so it will not quite be my first look

14
00:01:04,839 --> 00:01:11,360
but it might be your first look and it will certainly be my first Hands-On so

15
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:16,400
first let's have a look at the Box itself you can see that Corsair actually

16
00:01:13,799 --> 00:01:20,799
conveniently labels all of the features that they want to talk about on this

17
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:25,040
case here so you've got dual 200 mm fans provided that is one on the top and one

18
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:29,920
in the front by the look of things we've got easily accessible dust filters and

19
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,960
oh they make maintenance simple and Happ hassle free okay that's terrific we've

20
00:01:31,799 --> 00:01:37,720
got actually here cameraman if you want to look at the picture and then I'll kind of read them out we've got quick

21
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:40,600
release side panels just like the 800 de although it looks like a different

22
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:44,200
mechanism we have an integrated fan controller that allows you to adjust for

23
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:48,799
either performance or silence four toolfree Optical bays and up to six SSD

24
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:53,040
ready hard drive trays CPU back plate cutout allows you to take out your CPU

25
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:56,920
Cooler or install a new one without actually removing the motherboard which

26
00:01:54,719 --> 00:02:00,560
is brilliant as well as the brilliant cable routing system which just like the

27
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:04,360
800d is really almost the most critical part

28
00:02:02,399 --> 00:02:08,200
of case Design After Aesthetics in my opinion because it's such an important

29
00:02:06,119 --> 00:02:13,160
part of Aesthetics adjustable Drive cages room for long power supplies and

30
00:02:10,239 --> 00:02:19,879
eight expansion slots giving you room even for those new XL ATX motherboards

31
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:23,440
from the likes of Gigabyte cameraman's giving me a hard time about how long

32
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:28,720
we've been doing an unboxing without finishing opening the box so as you can

33
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:33,840
see it comes in wow this is like 2in thick foam all around the entire case so

34
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:36,360
this thing will make it to you and it

35
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:41,920
will not be destroyed on its way I have failed that unboxing it is

36
00:02:39,959 --> 00:02:46,319
upside down that's okay I can flip it over it's all

37
00:02:43,519 --> 00:02:53,000
good so I'm just going to do that there we are here it is in all of

38
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:55,280
its Glory the Corsair graphite 600t so

39
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:58,519
let's do our exterior Impressions first so cameraman if you want to come in and

40
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:03,680
have a look at the front you can see the entire front of the case is a dust

41
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:05,159
filtered meshed finish so that means

42
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:08,959
that you're going to have excellent air flow coming from the front of the case

43
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:13,200
you've got your four Optical Baye here in the top and then down here you can

44
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:17,000
clearly see there's a cooling fan installed behind this mesh and we'll

45
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:22,000
have a closer look at that once we open it up on the top of the case we've got

46
00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:23,480
four USB 2.0 ports as well as that fan

47
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:28,480
controller knob that they were talking about on the outside of the box

48
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:31,040
headphone Port microphone Port USB 3.0

49
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:36,360
super speed Port as well fire wire and then finally a hard drive LED there's a

50
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:41,959
power switch here a reset switch here they both have satisfying clicks to them

51
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:43,840
and then we've got yes more cooling more

52
00:03:41,959 --> 00:03:47,879
mesh Corsair is serious about the cooling it's a gaming oriented company

53
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:52,120
so it makes sense that this case is going to be geared towards Gamers we'll

54
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:57,400
move around to the back of the case you can see the side panels are quite clear

55
00:03:53,879 --> 00:03:58,920
this is not a windowed case although as

56
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:04,159
we're about to find out just because there's no window does does mean you can't have a nice interior we've got a

57
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:08,680
120 mm cooling fan which would be perfect for an H50 or an h70 we've got

58
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:14,239
room for our IO Shield then we have eight PCI expansion slots two little

59
00:04:11,879 --> 00:04:18,959
water cooling grommets as well as room to install a standard ATX power supply

60
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:22,120
on the other side of the case we will find nothing out of the ordinary and I

61
00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:27,360
guess we might as well have a quick look at the bottom you see I'm having trouble twisting it around it's because it has

62
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:30,800
these great rubber feet on the bottom that are going to keep it from sliding

63
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:35,240
off your desk or having any other kinds of difficulties with the case see

64
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:39,320
they're very good I can put all my weight on it not that I weigh a lot

65
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:43,240
although we did just have Thanksgiving up here so I had a lot of turkey side

66
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:47,120
panel you can see right here there's not a whole lot of flex to it you expect a

67
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:52,199
little bit but Corsair really doesn't skimp on the materials and you can see

68
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:55,400
the way that their latch works is quite robust a lot of the time you look at

69
00:04:53,759 --> 00:04:59,720
these tool-free mechanisms and you just go yeah that's going to break uh this

70
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:03,639
does not look like that is going to be the case so we'll take off that side

71
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:07,000
panel take off the other side panel so we can get a really clear look at what

72
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:13,000
we're dealing with here and let's have a look at the inside

73
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:17,320
so we find zip tied to the inside or rather twist tied to the inside an

74
00:05:15,039 --> 00:05:21,960
instruction manual as well as some accessories so cameraman can sort of

75
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:26,360
take you on a video Silent video tour of the inside of the case while I look at

76
00:05:23,479 --> 00:05:30,160
the accessories and decide which ones are noteworthy enough to talk about all

77
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:34,360
right I'm done cameraman come back okay we have keys so

78
00:05:32,759 --> 00:05:37,800
this is to lock the side panel of the case so that thieves cannot steal your

79
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:41,759
stuff excellent at least I think so then we

80
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:45,919
have some black zip ties for managing your cables they include probably about

81
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:51,080
enough to do a typical build then we have motherboard screws as well as other

82
00:05:48,280 --> 00:05:56,160
screws that you will need fan screws and then some rubber grommets okay let's

83
00:05:53,280 --> 00:06:02,280
have a look at the interior so here we go this is become sort of Corsair's

84
00:05:58,919 --> 00:06:04,919
trademark thing these uh silicone uh

85
00:06:02,280 --> 00:06:09,080
rubbery grommy things so you install your power supply here and then

86
00:06:06,759 --> 00:06:12,720
basically these allow you to Route cables wherever you could possibly want

87
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:16,639
them to go so you take them right out here or through this cut out here you

88
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:20,919
bring out your 24 pin here you bring out your eight pin up here you bring out

89
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:25,240
your uh your optical drive connectors way up here so it means that you never

90
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:29,080
have to see cables running anywhere all you see is that the cable goes in this

91
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:33,199
and then it comes out exactly where it needs to be and they've included ample

92
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:37,599
space on the back of the motherboard tray and this one drives me nuts when

93
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:41,199
manufacturers do this when they create cable routing options and then there

94
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:45,400
isn't actually really enough space on the back to Route the cable like you

95
00:06:42,639 --> 00:06:48,479
look there's quite a bit of space there so if you're running a 24 pin cable

96
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:54,720
you're actually going to be able to close your panel I've seen cases that have room to route a 24 pin cable on the

97
00:06:52,479 --> 00:06:58,840
back and you can't close the panel once you've actually got it back here they've

98
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:03,080
also got a couple little uh Loops where you can install zip ties here here and

99
00:07:01,039 --> 00:07:06,560
here so you can use those to make sure that the cables stay down flat when

100
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:10,840
you're running them up the back of the case here are the connectors for all of

101
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:15,280
your internal uh so all of your front panel connectors you can see they're all

102
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:18,039
sleeved in black and uh there's a lot of them I already covered what's up there

103
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:25,280
so I don't really need to tell you too much more about that the front panel fan

104
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:29,080
controller is here and we're about to find out because I have no idea to be

105
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:34,759
perfectly honest with you how many fans it can control and the answer is four so

106
00:07:32,319 --> 00:07:39,280
there's two included fans here another one here and then it looks like you can

107
00:07:36,879 --> 00:07:44,159
oh and another one here so by default no that's power so by default

108
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:48,400
you can control the three included fans and then one additional one with the fan

109
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:54,319
controller knob and then this looks like power for the fan controller knob itself

110
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:58,800
okay so here we have six 3 and 1/2 in hard drive installation trays I'm going

111
00:07:56,759 --> 00:08:01,240
to go ahead and pull one of those out from the other side

112
00:08:00,039 --> 00:08:06,199
and I think I'm actually going to turn the case around cuz we've seen everything that we need to see from that

113
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:10,840
side and by turn the case around I mean turn the cameraman around cuz that's sort of more effective now you can see

114
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:14,960
these have a bit of a flimsy look to them but I've seen these before as soon

115
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:19,520
as you install a hard drive in them they firm right up you slide them in boom

116
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:23,479
your hard drive is installed it's completely toolless and you see how they

117
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:28,199
jiggle now once a hard drive is in there they will not move they're actually a

118
00:08:25,879 --> 00:08:33,320
very ingenious design and I really really like them here at the front we

119
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:37,560
have that one 200 mm fan and then up in the top we have an oh I'm sorry hold on

120
00:08:35,399 --> 00:08:42,640
yeah and then we have another 200 mm fan up in the top you can see it has a good

121
00:08:39,399 --> 00:08:44,600
number of blades on it and it is quite

122
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:48,920
nice looking although you do not have to use those fans it looks like we've got

123
00:08:46,399 --> 00:08:53,000
mounting holes for potentially a variety of other sizes of fans for the top so

124
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:56,800
that's pretty cool too there's the 120 mm fan that I showed you from the back

125
00:08:54,720 --> 00:09:01,920
and here's a little design by Corsair logo so you can actually see that is

126
00:08:58,959 --> 00:09:06,959
right below the cameraman that is right below the CPU cutout so that's quite a

127
00:09:04,959 --> 00:09:11,079
large CPU cutout no matter where your socket is located you will be able to

128
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:16,399
remove the back plate and remove the CPU Cooler without any hassle here is our

129
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:19,959
toolfree 5 and 1/4 in Bay device uh

130
00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:21,360
installation and removal Gadget there

131
00:09:19,959 --> 00:09:25,279
that's I think what they're called on the Corsair sheet although probably not

132
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:28,279
so you pull that out you pull your drive out you push that in after you put it in

133
00:09:26,959 --> 00:09:31,880
and that installs your drive it's that simple and you can put in a screw from

134
00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:38,320
the other side if that's not quite secure enough or if you're going to ship the system or anything like

135
00:09:35,839 --> 00:09:41,920
that I think that pretty much covers everything I wanted to say about the

136
00:09:39,839 --> 00:09:46,519
600t thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look and don't forget

137
00:09:43,560 --> 00:09:50,880
to subscribe to Linus Tech tips cameraman and I found a few more

138
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:54,920
things off camera first of all this is removable so you can reach the fan in

139
00:09:53,399 --> 00:09:58,920
the front you can uh clean the dust filter which is part of this little

140
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:03,720
panel with the Corsair branding on it there's also Al a removable dust filter

141
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:07,440
in the bottom uh which I showed you before but didn't really talk about so

142
00:10:05,399 --> 00:10:11,880
you can take that out just like the 800d you can remove that clean it all that

143
00:10:09,079 --> 00:10:16,079
good stuff and then this whole panel is actually removable as well you just

144
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:21,720
click down on it and then you can uh use the key that I talked about but I

145
00:10:17,560 --> 00:10:25,279
couldn't find a keyhole for to lock the

146
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:27,160
uh the side panel or to unlock it so

147
00:10:25,279 --> 00:10:30,160
that is all I wanted to say about the 600t
