Corsair Graphite Series 760T Review

The chassis finds its legacy in the Graphite series, 
but this one certainly is a bit different in a couple of ways. The looks are insane with a big redesign, large see through panel, hinged and latched doors, magnetic top panel and yes even a fan controller. It is one of these x-factor products really, and we feel it will get embraced by a large chunk of the the PC enthusiast community. The chassis is a full-tower based chassis. Corsair Graphite Series 730T and 760T are essentially the same case, the major difference is that the former has an opaque left panel and the latter an acrylic window. The Graphite 760T also has a basic 2-speed fan controller installed and will become available in both Black and Arctic White colors. 

Both the Graphite 760T and 730T have nine expansion slots, six 3.5-inch/2.5-inch combo bays (two modular hard drive cages), with four tool-free 2.5-inch side-mounted cages for SSDs, three tool-free 5.25-inch bays, 2x USB 2.0, 2x USB 3.0, thumbscrews for all expansion slots, and cable routing with tie-downs to keep things tidy. Next to the stunning looks you also will see the chassis equipped with proper cooling and a fan controller. Included are three AF140L 140 mm fans the two front intake fans are LED lit. In total you could mount up-to eight fans three 120 mm/140 mm up top, two 140 mm/120 mm in front, one 140 mm/120 mm in the rear, and one 120 mm down bottom). Radiator compatibility is diverse as well.Corsair is going to offer the Graphite 760T in two color options, Arctic White or Black.


Water Cooling
  • Offers enough space up to a 360 mm radiator on the roof of the case 
  • 140 mm radiator in the rear exhaust fan mounting area. 
  • In the front a 240mm radiator would work as well. 
  • All-in-one-coolers such as the Hydro Series H55, H60, H80i, H100i, H90 and H110 are fully supported. When mounting a full-length radiator on the roof of the case, the upper 5.25 inch optical drive bay will be partially blocked by the radiator. When mounting a radiator in the front of the case, the HDD trays may need to be relocated or removed.


Advanced Cable Routing
  •  760T has rubber grommet covered holes in the motherboard tray, through which you can route cables. Even with a system full of hardware, including multiple graphics cards and storage devices, you will be able to route your cables cleanly and easily.


CPU Backplate Cutout & Cable Tie-Down Loops
  • The CPU backplate cutout makes it simple to install an aftermarket CPU cooler (including Corsair’s Hydro and Air Series coolers) without any need to remove the motherboard. The rear of the motherboard tray also has plenty of cable tie-down loops, which makes it simple to keep the cables routed to the rear-side of the motherboard tray neat and tidy. The side-panel gap has also been specially designed to accommodate the additional space required to store all the cables, maintaining the professional look.
