Case HYTE Y40 Tempered Glass, Mid-Tower, White and Black

HYTE Y40 is a mid-tower case with tempered glass that combines a white chassis with black accents and is aimed at more serious gaming and enthusiast builds. It supports standard motherboard formats ATX, Micro ATX and Mini ITX, giving you freedom in choosing your platform. The side tempered glass showcases the hardware well, while the convenient internal space allows for powerful GPUs and serious cooling. The package includes 2 included fans and PCI Express Riser 4.0 x16, which is a big bonus for vertical mounting of the graphics card.

What you get

You get a case that comfortably accommodates long graphics cards up to 422 mm, so even top models of GPUs fit without problems. For CPU cooler, you have up to 183 mm in height, which opens options for most massive air towers. Cooling is well thought out – several fans can be supported on the top, side, bottom, and rear panels, plus rich support for water cooling with radiators up to 360 mm on top and up to 280 mm on the side. The built-in tempered glass provides clear visibility to the GPU, and the included PCIe 4.0 riser allows you to turn it vertically and showcase your build. In practice, you have a modern front I/O with 2 x USB 3.2 Gen2, USB Type-C, and a combined Audio/Mic, so you don't rely solely on the rear panel of the motherboard.

• Support for motherboards in ATX, Micro ATX and Mini ITX formats, giving you flexibility for various configurations – from compact to more serious gaming systems.
• Middle Tower form factor with tempered glass, showcasing the components and suitable for builds with RGB and vertically mounted GPU.
• Rich cooling options: top panel with up to 3 x 120 mm fans, side with up to 2 x 120/140 mm, bottom with 1 x 120/140 mm, and rear with 1 x 120 mm, plus 2 included fans from the case.
• Support for water cooling with radiators 120/140/240/280 mm on the side, 120/240/360 mm on top, and 120 mm at the back, so you can comfortably plan AIO or custom loop.
• Maximum graphics card size 422 mm and height of CPU cooler up to 183 mm, which is sufficient for high-end GPUs and serious air coolers.
• I/O panel with 2 x USB 3.2 Gen2, 1 x USB Type-C, and 1 x Audio/Mic jack, providing quick access to the main ports at the front.
• PCI Express Riser 4.0 x16 included in the package, allowing vertical mounting of the graphics card without needing to buy additional accessories.
• Support for power supplies up to 224 mm, mounted at the bottom, plus 1 x 3.5" and 2 x 2.5" slots for drives – enough for a typical gaming build or workstation.

Who it is suitable for

This case is suitable if you are planning a modern mid- to high-end gaming build or workstation with a long graphics card and serious cooling, and you value a clean look with tempered glass. It is also a good choice if you want vertical mounting of the GPU right from the start, without thinking about an additional riser. If you are looking for something super compact or with a huge number of 3.5" drives for NAS, you may find the storage spaces insufficient.

The most sensible aspect of the HYTE Y40 is the combination of vertical GPU with included PCIe 4.0 riser, good cooling space, and modern I/O, all packed into a clean white mid-tower that leaves plenty of freedom to unleash your build.
