Hyte y60 GPU cooling issues

Nyx9691 · September 27

Hi guys,

So I just built a pc...my first build, with following specs.

Ryzen 7800x3d

Asrock Taichi Ryzen 7900 XTX

Hyte y60 case

Two Noctua AF14 3000 PWM intake fans at bottom

Two f140 NZXT Duo intake fans on side

One NZXT AER 120mm Exhaust fan at rear

Deepcool LT 720 360mm AIO cooler with 3 NZXT AER 120mm fans as exhaust at the top.

Now by no means is this fan set up weak but I am concerned about my GPU temps. Because the GPU is chonky and takes 3 slots, and because its mounted vertically, it sits very close to the glass side panel and starves. Without the glass panel the GPU temps under full load are global 65 degrees and hotspot 85 degrees. But if we put glass side panel, Global temps reach 75 degrees and hotspot temps can reach 111 degrees but average at almost 100. I understand 75 degrees global temps are fine, what worries me is the hotspot temps. If I knew this case would basically give my graphic card a slow death I would not have got it. Pretty annoyned.....but can yall confirm if this is as bad as I think it is and if anybody has solutions please.

90 degree cases aren't well known for airflow, cause you know, the air has to take a turn. CPU AIO is already exhaust so GPU has best air. All you can really do is turn up the 2 side intake fans to a higher speed as well as bump up the GPU fan speeds.

These cases also make me worried, as I want the Qube 2 as my next case but then I'll have to fight over the temps.

Yeh, I have a build in a Hyte Y60 and can imagine a vertical mounted GPU running into thermal issues.

Have you tried going horizontal to see if the situation improves.

I have a custom loop so don't have any issues but I think this is a common problem with vertically mounted GPUs and being butted up against the side glass pannel.

I was about to pull the trigger on a y60 but even hyte officials didn't recommend it for a 4090 or similar gpus on a reddit post. So i ended up buying NZXT H9 FLOW + Cooler Master Vertical gpu kit 3.0 and i'm really happy with it.

Any GC vertically mounted with the fans next to glass or metal will bake to death. That's why I didn't do it in my Corsair 5000X. Either buy a mesh side, leave the glass off, cut a hole in the glass and install a dust filter, mount the card directly on your mobo, or buy a different case.
