Corsair Graphite 600T Mid-Tower Case Review

For testing today we are using an Intel Core i7 920 processor in conjunction with a Coolit Vantage CPU cooler.  For testing we set the Coolit Vantage to Extreme mode and set the case fans to the highest setting.

Test System



Chassis: Corsair Graphite 600T
Processor: Intel i7 920 (D0)
Motherboard: Asus P6T
Cooler: Coolit Vantage
Memory: 6GB Corsair Dominator DDR3-1600 (3x 2GB)
Storage: Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB (7200rpm)
Power Supply: Corsair HX850W

Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)
Everest Ultimate Edition
Prime 95
Furmark

The diagram above shows how the airflow is set up out of the box.  The 200mm fan at the front of the case is the only intake with a further 200mm fan at the top of the case acting as an exhaust.  There is also a 120mm fan acting as an exhaust at the rear of the case which we replaced with the Coolit Vantage for testing.

The Corsair 600T managed to keep our test system cool, aided by the awesome cooling power of the Coolit Vantage which kept our i7-920 chip cool even when overclocked to 4.00GHz.  The Zotac GTX 470 reached 92c but this is a result of acoustically balanced automatic fan profiles.

Tryx Luca L70 Case Review – needs a lot more work

  1. Wow, that’s a great looking case. I love how corsair understands how to design something that doesnt look like it was made for a power ranger.

    Very tempted by this.

  2. ive been looking at this for a while now. seems a good buy, if a bit expensive for the materials. guess the design is worth it.

  3. Just what a i need. I am tempted to buy this.

  4. Highly recommended. it is expensive, but it looks stunning in the flesh (pictures dont do it justice) and this is one of their best cases imo.

  5. It looks quite nice, but I prefer their other cases for the enthusiast audience. This one seems a bit cheap looking. I saw other reviews a while ago and was not that impressed. ITs certainly not a lian li.

  6. What is the fascination with Lian Li ? they are so overpriced !

    I love this case. our local store has one on display and I agree with the guy earlier who said it looks much better in the flesh.

  7. Having really studied this, I am even more impressed than I was initially. there are so many nice touches, such as the massive array of routing locations.

  8. Is it just me, or is this not £30 overpriced?

  9. Looks like a really good design, price is a bit high for what you get though I think.

  10. Sexy case from an even sexier company.

  11. Strung out on you

    internal design is excellent, I like all the routing holes. wish more manufacturers did that with their case designs.
