Corsair Graphite 760T Review

👤by David Mitchelson Comments 📅27-03-14
Conclusion

It wasn’t too long ago that we were looking at the 230T and although this case has its roots within the Graphite Series, there has been an extremely long interval for a high-end offering from this family of enclosures. The 600T was released some 4 years ago now and even many years later is held in high regard.

While 760T isn’t really a successor to 600T it does have some noticeable similarities but more importantly – refinements. Like it or hate it, the two-tone styling is sleek and eye-catching. The integration of hinged and latched side panels is handy; gaining access to the inside of the case is both convenient and efficient.

The sheer size of 760T, with its wide chassis and defined areas results in excellent clearance for various components such as the CPU cooler, graphics card and cable management. Furthermore, different sized radiators can be attached to the case in different locations and even having such a device installed at the front doesn’t force the system builder to compromise on HDD storage.



The inclusion of interchangeable HDD cages and even SSD support beside the motherboard tray demonstrates Corsair’s ability to make good use of space without causing detriment to other features.

On launch 760T costs £150 GBP / $189 USD, which may unsettle some due to the plastic front panel. The bonus may come in that 760T is a fairly small full tower compared to other options out there.

The Graphite Series finally has a high-end computer chassis to add to the portfolio and a good one it is too. 760T builds on the success of the highly revered 600T by accommodating a wide spectrum of hardware including the ever popular Hydro Series water cooling units.
