00:00:10,759 --> 00:00:18,760
fully private click now to learn more at CES this year Corsair expected the 250d

3
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:23,039
to be the star of the show but like many other members of the press when I walked

4
00:00:20,519 --> 00:00:29,519
into the room my eyes went straight to the graphite 76t a stunning case that

5
00:00:26,519 --> 00:00:32,000
fuses smart design with a big departure

6
00:00:29,519 --> 00:00:35,559
from traditional aesthetic the box that comes in is huge which wouldn't have

7
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:41,120
been a problem for me if Corsair hadn't sent me two of them so now I have like a

8
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:43,000
pile of 760 t's for some reason um and

9
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:47,199
the box contains excellent soft foam packing material to keep your case safe

10
00:00:45,160 --> 00:00:51,079
all the way to your door now normal people once they get it out might look

11
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:55,719
at their brand new case and think wow that looks really sexy uh but my first

12
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:59,960
thought was actually wow structural Integrity must have been a real

13
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:04,439
challenge here normally the K the screw SC and tightness of the fit of the metal

14
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:10,880
side panels will add some extra strength and rigidity to the case but by its

15
00:01:07,159 --> 00:01:13,119
nature a huge piece of Plexi like this

16
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:17,080
is going to have some serious Flex to it even with the engineering that obviously

17
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:22,759
went into building each side panel couple that with the chassis itself

18
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:27,799
having less metal to accommodate that large window and by extension more Flex

19
00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:32,600
than normal and it's a recipe for disaster right wrong

20
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:36,720
given that they're only attached with little hinges at the back and magnets at

21
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:40,200
the front the panels do more than I would have thought possible for the

22
00:01:38,479 --> 00:01:45,079
strength and rigidity of the chassis and with them in place it well you got to

23
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:49,119
close it I guess with them in place it actually feels very solid all right so

24
00:01:47,159 --> 00:01:54,640
the next natural step on our tour of the outside is the side panels both panels

25
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:58,399
on the 760t have acrylic window panels on them even though the right side is

26
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:02,079
opaque so you don't actually see The Rat's Nest of cables most system

27
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:05,920
Builders leave back there they snap into place with magnets and a latch and

28
00:02:03,759 --> 00:02:11,200
they're opened with a comfortable solid feeling handle they swing all the way

29
00:02:09,119 --> 00:02:14,560
open to be out of your way if you need to get into the system and if you need

30
00:02:12,879 --> 00:02:18,920
to do some serious maintenance on the system you can just pop them off their

31
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:24,000
posts and remove them completely I love the design here functional and beautiful

32
00:02:21,239 --> 00:02:28,840
top marks Corsair front IO is nothing groundbreaking power reset uh Power and

33
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:33,200
drive indicator LEDs are all accompanied by two USB two ports ports and two USB 3

34
00:02:31,239 --> 00:02:37,519
ports and then there's a fan controller toggle that leads to four internal three

35
00:02:34,879 --> 00:02:40,519
pin fan headers I'm not really that fond of toggle switches since it's hard to

36
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:44,400
tell at a glance what setting it's on and hard to adjust correctly without

37
00:02:42,599 --> 00:02:48,560
looking at it compared to a more tactile switch type but I think it is a great

38
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:53,560
inclusion uh one other Improvement that Corsair could also make is to hook up

39
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:57,280
the fan leads out of the factory NZXT does this and it's a really nice touch

40
00:02:55,120 --> 00:03:02,040
when your case arrives and all your fans and cooling is basically ready to rock

41
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,519
if you plug in one power connector so um

42
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:09,000
with all that said though I'm really glad to see it there just watch out if

43
00:03:05,959 --> 00:03:11,599
you're buying the lower cost 730t it is

44
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:15,799
not included on that one a stealth Optical at the front is something that I

45
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:19,360
haven't really seen that much these days most manufacturers Just keep putting 5

46
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:23,200
and a/4 inch bays in the front of the case but acting like they don't really

47
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:26,959
expect you to use them good encour there for making the front of my case look

48
00:03:24,599 --> 00:03:31,120
good with or without an optical drive if we could see the envelope pushed even

49
00:03:28,599 --> 00:03:34,840
further so that that 5 and a/4 inch Bay cover is completely stealth and maybe

50
00:03:33,319 --> 00:03:38,680
there's just like a pressure sensitive bottom corner you press on or something

51
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:42,120
and it flips down that would be fantastic but either way I'm I'm still

52
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:47,439
glad to see that because some people do still use Optical drives the front fan

53
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:49,480
filter feels solid and is easy to remove

54
00:03:47,439 --> 00:03:53,640
um unfortunately one of the clips did break on mine but I would chalk this up

55
00:03:51,239 --> 00:03:57,319
to bad luck and it's an easy fix if it happens to you just contact customer

56
00:03:55,480 --> 00:04:02,680
service and they'll ship you a new front piece every time I've dealt with Corsair's RMA Department experience has

57
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:07,879
been really solid the bottom fan filter for the power supply is functional see

58
00:04:05,599 --> 00:04:12,040
slides out of the back but much less impressive to me now that I've seen the

59
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:17,519
magnetic filter implementation on the 450d way to make your own product look

60
00:04:14,439 --> 00:04:20,880
bad Corsair cuz that one is awesome

61
00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:23,240
basically magic and speaking of magic or

62
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:27,759
magnets uh the magnetic plastic cover on the top is very Tastefully done the

63
00:04:25,639 --> 00:04:33,320
angled shape at the front makes it look more like a futuristic design Choice

64
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:35,800
rather than just a you know practical

65
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:41,759
way of choosing between a a cleaner plane top versus a more cooling friendly

66
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:44,840
ventilated top also of note is that the

67
00:04:41,759 --> 00:04:47,479
color matches really really well and

68
00:04:44,840 --> 00:04:50,880
knowing Corsair this is not an accident they spend a lot of time on color

69
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:55,880
matching behind the scenes so they should continue to match not only out of

70
00:04:53,400 --> 00:05:01,000
the box but for years to come owners of early NZXT Phantoms will know what a

71
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:06,560
problem plastic fading out faster than the paint on metal can be at the back we

72
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:09,720
find nine PCI slots which seemed like an odd choice at first but George came to

73
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:15,440
the rescue and explained it allows three-way SLI with triple slot cards and

74
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:17,360
I was like okay and also said maybe

75
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:20,840
we'll see some more XL ATX motherboard designs in the next generation of

76
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:26,000
products so uh got you George the 140mm fan and ample Cable

77
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:30,960
Management room at the back means that the chassis is quite wide but I see why

78
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:35,759
they had to put so much Cable Management room into it normally with a metal side

79
00:05:33,479 --> 00:05:39,680
panel that really locks into place and you can kind of like pile up the cables

80
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:46,120
behind it and then just like force it down um that'll work but with this one

81
00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:50,000
that panel would bow like crazy if you tried to put too many wires piled up

82
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:54,639
behind it so they just had to give you a lot of room to make sure that you didn't

83
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:57,360
end up stuck trying to do that inside we

84
00:05:54,639 --> 00:06:02,520
see that in addition to the XL ATX compatibility the case will work with

85
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:04,319
eatx boards but fullwidth Enthusiast

86
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:08,680
eatx boards basically don't exist anymore so I can see why they didn't

87
00:06:06,840 --> 00:06:13,000
bother to do two full sets of cable management grommets like on the 800d

88
00:06:10,840 --> 00:06:18,400
even though it is compatible since I'm talking about these things um grommets

89
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:22,160
here uh they are well positioned and use a high quality material but given that

90
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:26,400
Corsair popularized which is now basically the industry standard in cable

91
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:30,840
routing holes we haven't seen much further Innovation since the 800d I mean

92
00:06:28,919 --> 00:06:35,599
what about making things even cleaner with like um like angle shaped ones that

93
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:40,199
fit into these little spaces along the top or something like that do it Corsair

94
00:06:37,759 --> 00:06:43,759
that would be absolutely awesome and I mentioned this before but there is tons

95
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:48,960
of cable management room in the back and a metric butt ton of wire loops on the

96
00:06:47,199 --> 00:06:53,400
back this is really important because it helps you keep things nice and tidy back

97
00:06:51,319 --> 00:06:57,240
there I would say the only place where Cable Management really needs a bit of

98
00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:01,919
improvement is around the 2 and 1/2 in drive base these mounts back here are

99
00:06:59,599 --> 00:07:06,440
spring-loaded and super handy but even though the SATA power implementation on

100
00:07:04,039 --> 00:07:11,479
this power supply is fairly standard it was hard to Route the power connectors

101
00:07:08,479 --> 00:07:13,199
from one cage to another and also while

102
00:07:11,479 --> 00:07:18,960
I appreciate that Corsair wanted to leave the area pretty open so I could

103
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:20,479
show off my sexy Neutron GTX ssds they

104
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:24,599
didn't give me a good way to hide the cables that are going into the ssds OR

105
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:28,800
for the front fans although those ones are quite small um it's a just a bit of

106
00:07:27,039 --> 00:07:35,039
an oversight on a chassis with an enormous window for a side panel um but

107
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:38,479
again it's a very very minor complaint uh another thing that I will leave up to

108
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:43,520
you guys whether I'm being Dev vitastic or not is the front panel connectors

109
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:47,680
internally are covered with a nice heavy black sleeving but the wires inside are

110
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:52,199
not black and that's visible when you plug it into the board usually Corsair's

111
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:55,440
attention to detail is what sets them so far apart from the others but this is

112
00:07:54,080 --> 00:08:00,199
something that they've done in the past that is missing here black wires all

113
00:07:58,199 --> 00:08:04,840
right moving on to the rest of the drive cages I'm not a huge fan of Corsair's 3

114
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:08,919
and 1/2 in Drive cages they're toolless and easy to use but I wish they were a

115
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:13,159
little bit more robust on top of being modular the 760t includes two of them

116
00:08:11,599 --> 00:08:17,520
that you can put side by side in the bottom you can hang from the 5 and A4

117
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:22,560
inch Baye or you can stack up from the front and you can add another two for a

118
00:08:19,319 --> 00:08:23,919
total of 12 3 and 1/2 in or 2 and 1/2 in

119
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:28,560
drives to go in there along with the spring-loaded ones the 760t is super

120
00:08:26,479 --> 00:08:32,320
roomy inside and water cooling support is a very strong point I would be

121
00:08:30,599 --> 00:08:37,880
surprised if it takes longer than a few weeks for an end user to cut up the 5

122
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:39,760
and a/4 inch Baye to allow a triple 140

123
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:45,880
mm Radiator in the top cuz the mounting holes are there but on paper it supports

124
00:08:42,599 --> 00:08:48,920
a 360 or 280 in the top a 240 or 280 in

125
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:52,399
the front a 120 or 140 in the back ow

126
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:55,360
and a 120 in the bottom nice it makes me

127
00:08:52,399 --> 00:09:00,839
sad though that the top f/ radiator mounts don't get any air flow with this

128
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:06,120
top magnetic piece in in place a small Gap around the outside edges would allow

129
00:09:02,839 --> 00:09:09,399
at least some air through but I guess it

130
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:11,560
would also ruin the extremely clean look

131
00:09:09,399 --> 00:09:14,680
of the chassis when it's covered so I don't know what the right solution is

132
00:09:12,839 --> 00:09:18,560
here guys let me know in the comments if you'd prefer a gap when it's closed so

133
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:23,200
those fans can breathe a little bit or if you'd prefer to just have the choice

134
00:09:20,839 --> 00:09:27,560
okay I want completely clean or completely open and I'm okay with that

135
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:33,880
one thing last thing I noticed that pretty much sums up my feelings on the

136
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:36,040
700t is this corner brace right here it

137
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:41,519
represents the compromises that were made from a rigidity perspective to

138
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:47,959
deliver an aggressive and yet not overthe toop and like you

139
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:49,920
know ricey looking aesthetic it's part

140
00:09:47,959 --> 00:09:55,000
of the reinforcement solution that they needed to make this case work at all

141
00:09:52,480 --> 00:10:00,279
with the panels off there's still too much Flex in this case for me to be okay

142
00:09:57,519 --> 00:10:06,040
with cors are calling it uh an obsidian class product but I'm totally okay with

143
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:08,839
it as a graphite product and overall the

144
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:12,760
quality foam packing and the wonderful aesthetic that couldn't be achieved

145
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:16,880
without compromising on its ability to be used as a chair for a hippo is a

146
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:21,800
trade-off that I'm willing to make I should mention that the 730t is also

147
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:26,040
available but in my opinion it's worth the extra for the 760t you get the fan

148
00:10:23,959 --> 00:10:29,920
controller you get the windowed side panels which to me are what really make

149
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:35,079
this case work and uh I think that's pretty much it

150
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:39,639
guys thank you for watching my video review of the Corsair 760t don't forget

151
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:43,399
to like this video and share it if you liked it dislike it if you disliked it

152
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:46,440
leave a comment and let me know your thoughts on the aesthetic of this case I

153
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:51,000
hope we have some really good footage in here so you guys can get a really great

154
00:10:48,519 --> 00:10:54,000
idea of what it looks like in person I mean sometimes that's the challenge is

155
00:10:52,560 --> 00:10:58,720
things don't look as good NVIDIA as they do in person and this one really

156
00:10:55,720 --> 00:11:00,240
does look fantastic in person um also

157
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:04,480
we've got a support Link in the video description so you can use that to you

158
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:08,160
