00:00:01.919 --> 00:00:07.680
graphite it's not quite as strong as

00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:11.799
obsidian but it's still pretty cool because you can actually put it in

00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:17.160
pencils and write with it and apparently you can also brand a Corsair case with

00:00:14.559 --> 00:00:22.160
graphite so this is the graphite series 600t from Corsair I've received yes I

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

00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:33.559
do a first look video of this case I actually should have had one sooner but

00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:38.040
it looks like it got lost in the mail or something something terrible happened

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

00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:51.719
through the paces so I am doing the unboxing portion of the video now where

00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:55.000
I un the box and then we will proceed in

00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:57.719
just a moment with looking at the case

00:00:55.000 --> 00:01:01.920
and doing the first look part of the video now I've actually seen one in

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

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

00:01:10.080 --> 00:01:16.400
first let's have a look at the Box itself you can see that Corsair actually

00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:20.799
conveniently labels all of the features that they want to talk about on this

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

00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:29.920
in the front by the look of things we've got easily accessible dust filters and

00:01:28.360 --> 00:01:32.960
oh they make maintenance simple and Happ hassle free okay that's terrific we've

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

00:01:35.600 --> 00:01:40.600
release side panels just like the 800 de although it looks like a different

00:01:38.720 --> 00:01:44.200
mechanism we have an integrated fan controller that allows you to adjust for

00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:48.799
either performance or silence four toolfree Optical bays and up to six SSD

00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:53.040
ready hard drive trays CPU back plate cutout allows you to take out your CPU

00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:56.920
Cooler or install a new one without actually removing the motherboard which

00:01:54.719 --> 00:02:00.560
is brilliant as well as the brilliant cable routing system which just like the

00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:04.360
800d is really almost the most critical part

00:02:02.399 --> 00:02:08.200
of case Design After Aesthetics in my opinion because it's such an important

00:02:06.119 --> 00:02:13.160
part of Aesthetics adjustable Drive cages room for long power supplies and

00:02:10.239 --> 00:02:19.879
eight expansion slots giving you room even for those new XL ATX motherboards

00:02:17.440 --> 00:02:23.440
from the likes of Gigabyte cameraman's giving me a hard time about how long

00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:28.720
we've been doing an unboxing without finishing opening the box so as you can

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

00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:36.360
this thing will make it to you and it

00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:41.920
will not be destroyed on its way I have failed that unboxing it is

00:02:39.959 --> 00:02:46.319
upside down that's okay I can flip it over it's all

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

00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:55.280
its Glory the Corsair graphite 600t so

00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:58.519
let's do our exterior Impressions first so cameraman if you want to come in and

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

00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:05.159
filtered meshed finish so that means

00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:08.959
that you're going to have excellent air flow coming from the front of the case

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

00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:17.000
clearly see there's a cooling fan installed behind this mesh and we'll

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

00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:23.480
four USB 2.0 ports as well as that fan

00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:28.480
controller knob that they were talking about on the outside of the box

00:03:25.200 --> 00:03:31.040
headphone Port microphone Port USB 3.0

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

00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:41.959
power switch here a reset switch here they both have satisfying clicks to them

00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:43.840
and then we've got yes more cooling more

00:03:41.959 --> 00:03:47.879
mesh Corsair is serious about the cooling it's a gaming oriented company

00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:52.120
so it makes sense that this case is going to be geared towards Gamers we'll

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

00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:58.920
this is not a windowed case although as

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

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

00:04:06.720 --> 00:04:14.239
room for our IO Shield then we have eight PCI expansion slots two little

00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:18.959
water cooling grommets as well as room to install a standard ATX power supply

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

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

00:04:25.520 --> 00:04:30.800
these great rubber feet on the bottom that are going to keep it from sliding

00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:35.240
off your desk or having any other kinds of difficulties with the case see

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

00:04:37.880 --> 00:04:43.240
although we did just have Thanksgiving up here so I had a lot of turkey side

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

00:04:45.080 --> 00:04:52.199
little bit but Corsair really doesn't skimp on the materials and you can see

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

00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:59.720
these tool-free mechanisms and you just go yeah that's going to break uh this

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

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

00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:13.000
we're dealing with here and let's have a look at the inside

00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:17.320
so we find zip tied to the inside or rather twist tied to the inside an

00:05:15.039 --> 00:05:21.960
instruction manual as well as some accessories so cameraman can sort of

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

00:05:23.479 --> 00:05:30.160
the accessories and decide which ones are noteworthy enough to talk about all

00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:34.360
right I'm done cameraman come back okay we have keys so

00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:37.800
this is to lock the side panel of the case so that thieves cannot steal your

00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:41.759
stuff excellent at least I think so then we

00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:45.919
have some black zip ties for managing your cables they include probably about

00:05:43.440 --> 00:05:51.080
enough to do a typical build then we have motherboard screws as well as other

00:05:48.280 --> 00:05:56.160
screws that you will need fan screws and then some rubber grommets okay let's

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

00:05:58.919 --> 00:06:04.919
trademark thing these uh silicone uh

00:06:02.280 --> 00:06:09.080
rubbery grommy things so you install your power supply here and then

00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:12.720
basically these allow you to Route cables wherever you could possibly want

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

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

00:06:18.440 --> 00:06:25.240
your uh your optical drive connectors way up here so it means that you never

00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:29.080
have to see cables running anywhere all you see is that the cable goes in this

00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:33.199
and then it comes out exactly where it needs to be and they've included ample

00:06:31.440 --> 00:06:37.599
space on the back of the motherboard tray and this one drives me nuts when

00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:41.199
manufacturers do this when they create cable routing options and then there

00:06:39.440 --> 00:06:45.400
isn't actually really enough space on the back to Route the cable like you

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

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

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

00:06:56.520 --> 00:07:03.080
also got a couple little uh Loops where you can install zip ties here here and

00:07:01.039 --> 00:07:06.560
here so you can use those to make sure that the cables stay down flat when

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

00:07:08.440 --> 00:07:15.280
your internal uh so all of your front panel connectors you can see they're all

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

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

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

00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:34.759
perfectly honest with you how many fans it can control and the answer is four so

00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:39.280
there's two included fans here another one here and then it looks like you can

00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:44.159
oh and another one here so by default no that's power so by default

00:07:41.960 --> 00:07:48.400
you can control the three included fans and then one additional one with the fan

00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:54.319
controller knob and then this looks like power for the fan controller knob itself

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

00:07:56.759 --> 00:08:01.240
to go ahead and pull one of those out from the other side

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

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

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

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

00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:23.479
your hard drive is installed it's completely toolless and you see how they

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

00:08:25.879 --> 00:08:33.320
very ingenious design and I really really like them here at the front we

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

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

00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:44.600
number of blades on it and it is quite

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

00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:53.000
mounting holes for potentially a variety of other sizes of fans for the top so

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

00:08:54.720 --> 00:09:01.920
and here's a little design by Corsair logo so you can actually see that is

00:08:58.959 --> 00:09:06.959
right below the cameraman that is right below the CPU cutout so that's quite a

00:09:04.959 --> 00:09:11.079
large CPU cutout no matter where your socket is located you will be able to

00:09:09.160 --> 00:09:16.399
remove the back plate and remove the CPU Cooler without any hassle here is our

00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:19.959
toolfree 5 and 1/4 in Bay device uh

00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:21.360
installation and removal Gadget there

00:09:19.959 --> 00:09:25.279
that's I think what they're called on the Corsair sheet although probably not

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

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

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

00:09:35.839 --> 00:09:41.920
that I think that pretty much covers everything I wanted to say about the

00:09:39.839 --> 00:09:46.519
600t thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look and don't forget

00:09:43.560 --> 00:09:50.880
to subscribe to Linus Tech tips cameraman and I found a few more

00:09:48.880 --> 00:09:54.920
things off camera first of all this is removable so you can reach the fan in

00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:58.920
the front you can uh clean the dust filter which is part of this little

00:09:56.880 --> 00:10:03.720
panel with the Corsair branding on it there's also Al a removable dust filter

00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:07.440
in the bottom uh which I showed you before but didn't really talk about so

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

00:10:09.079 --> 00:10:16.079
good stuff and then this whole panel is actually removable as well you just

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

00:10:17.560 --> 00:10:25.279
couldn't find a keyhole for to lock the

00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:27.160
uh the side panel or to unlock it so

00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:30.160
that is all I wanted to say about the 600t
