HYTE Y70 Touch

Darksaber · Oct 24, 2023

The HYTE Y70 Touch represents the pinnacle of HYTE cases with its larger body and further refinements over the Y40 and Y60. Thanks to the high-resolution 14.1" IPS touch screen, HYTE manages to take its 45 degree slice to the next level.

look like an LG fridge

No fans is good, I think everything but budget cases should come with no fans.

Thanks for the review.

spending 50% of the case budget on a display seems like a waste when there's still a lot of room for improvement in the quality of the case.

The Hyte Y60 is a decent $200 case but it's built like a $100 case in terms of quality - the additional cost is what you pay for smaller production runs from a smaller player in the market, and the additional manufacturing costs that the corner adds. I have no problem with that, but it's still basically a cheap, flimsy steel case like so many others.

If I'm spending $360 on a case, I yearn for the good old days of premium materials like the old Coolermaster and Lian-Li cases that were all-aluminium, CNC-machined, and anodised finishes. Then again, if this were made using premium materials today it would probably cost $600. Maybe that matters, maybe it doesn't; I can't imagine anyone with a $360 case budget is particularly worried about what things cost.

This is one of those products that I want immediately, but I'd have no real use for and it's too expensive. The cooling isn't comparatively great, and I honestly have no idea for what I'd use that screen - probably just some animated wallpaper. But it is an awesome case, and if money wasn't an option I'd go for it.

Just out of curiosity, any idea why Hyte went with the external loopback to your graphics card for the display? There are so many USB displays on the market that I thought that would be the obvious, clean, internal header option. Perhaps it's an issue with the weird 1100 x 3840 resolution and no (or no sensibly-priced) USB-powered display controllers exist for that resolution?

I'm using ITX cases, since I want to have more space on my desk...
But if I had to go with a bigger case, this would my goto.

My best guess is that it's an already "off-the-self" touch LCD with a control board that they just extended the DP port on. and instead of using USB. you can connect it to either the iGPU or the dGPU instead of having the USB delay in processing.

$160 premium for a built in display seems expensive. Should be $250.

wheresmycar · Oct 24, 2023

Its nice to see more and more cases adopting integrated or hooked up screens. Similar to AIO LCD screens. Its catching on fast... so the more options the merrier.

Personally ive got my eyes set on the Deepcool CH560 for a plain ole minimalistic digital display for GPU and CPU temps (https://www.scan.co.uk/images/products/super/3523608-l-a.jpg). Wouldn't mind a nice IPS screen as a secondary display but not willing to fork out for one.

As for the HYPE Y70 TOUCH.... nice! Unfortunately for me too much bulk for my liking or too much expanded material for a suitable placement on my desk.

Selaya · Oct 24, 2023

forced vertical gpu automatically makes this (and any other from sHYTE) a meme case.

Gmr_Chick · Oct 24, 2023

One look at the side of the box and the cringe-y "reasons" they built the case and I know to stay FAAAAAR the fuck away from this thing. I mean:

"Waifu-ready with 10-finger multi touch support" and "Touch...sweet touch. You've almost convinced me I'm real"

Need I say more?! :kookoo:

thestryker6 · Oct 25, 2023

The Y60 display kit was $150 so perhaps they'll do a version of this case minus the screen for around $200. I'd find it a lot more interesting at that price point as it does improve the cooling from the Y60.

One of those is a Daft Punk lyric, the other we won’t talk about

Big-oof; That's pretty cringe.

I don't really understand the demographic that wants a touchscreen on their case. Perhaps a good percentage of that demographic are into that stuff and it's therefore good marketing? I dunno, I'm trying to find any silver lining on what is some very offputting marketing right there.

I just finished reading the review. I get the innovation of the screen but the thermal performance of the Case is not good at all.

That's just an issue with TPU's "standardised" test, where the standard is to test only the included fans.

I personally wish TPU tested with "a standard fan" in every provided fan mounting position, because that's closer to what most people will actually run.

Unfortunately, it means cases that come without fans all basically fail on TPU's thermal testing pages. You'd do well to ignore those graphs simply because "the standard" is "no standard". You have restrictive plastic cases with 6 cheap fans rammed up against some restrictive perforated metal and suffocated by bad foam filters competing with amazing, best-in-class airflow-focused cases that have no fans because you're supposed to fit you own fans.

I don't know exactly where this Hyte Y70 falls in terms of thermal performance, but other reviews (with fans) of the similar cases from Hyte all fair pretty well in thermal testing with good, unhindered airflow in and out. Essentially, the case airflow is fine, provided you choose a sensible number of fans and roughly balance them out.

Now that is interesting information that I hadn't realized. Thanks.

The one thing I'm very disappointed in is the global availability. When the company released the Y60 case, I recall their rep was here on TPU answering us questions and when I asked about global availability, it was a "yes to overseas"... It's been almost 2 years since that and I have never seen a single HYTE case in stock in Brazil. Their current giveaway isn't available here. And I still want one of their cases, I genuinely think they have the most innovative cases in the market today

Hey @Retell, you guys gotta get in contact with KaBuM!, Pichau or Terabyteshop and work a distribution deal with them. You get bored pretty fast of the plethora of Chinese white label chassis and Cooler Master's designs, which are about what you get here nowadays.

I have this case myself and love it. I don't see you mentioning any issues with the software which I came across, certain aspects of the software were flagged as malicious or drivers were flagged as vulnerable and stopped, several bug Name security apps flagged these and virus total.
Case is nice and large and really a show piece, apart from the software issues it's the best case I have built in.
Screen is great for all aspects of keeping tabs on temps, loads etc.
