advice Anyone have an idea if you can fit Three case fans into a HYTE Y60 (and how to go about that)

[MylesEngineer]

Hi my name is Myles I'm building myself my fully upgraded PC.

 

I'm going from an AM4 build Ryzen 3 1200, 8GB DDR4 (2400Mhz), GTX 1050Ti and a prime A320-M motherboard, stock cooler and a HDD with a 500W 80+ PSU and a cooler master case {idk which one} .

 

To a AM5 build, a Ryzen 7 7800x3d, 64 GB DDR5 (6000 Mhz) RX 7900XTX, a B650E-F, a 360 COSAIR AIO, SSD, 1000w titanium PSU, and Obvs a HYTE Y60.

 

(Any advice on parts is welcome but with it being this close to Christmas everything but GPU and CPU has been brought)

 

Now to the point of this, I have seen on Reddit that people are able to fit a 3 fan config into the case however the manufacturer says only 2 fit however with 120mm and 140mm fans it the measurements would seem like they would work?

 

Any help would be great!

 

Many thanks,

 

Myles

get a h6 flow instead cuz the y60 only supports dual slot gpus (afaik)

what's your budget for the upgrade?

[tkitch]

I'll bet what people are doing is installing 3x fans that clip together (such as Lian Li, Corsair, or other brands that will allow fans to physically connect in a group)

That way you don't need proper spacing for all the screw holes. 

 

@filpo nope, it has a full 3+ slot wide Vertical GPU Mount.

Thanks for clarifying. Nvm I thought it had 2 and the y40 had 3 but it seems the y40 has 4 instead

But btw @MylesEngineer if you do get the y60, you might get high temps on the 7900 xtx since it'll be close to the side glass (for the fans), should be fine but just something to note

Tbh I don't really have a budget, some of it is being brought as a Christmas gift (I have a really big family) I'm only paying for CPU and GPU when put into PC part picker it costs around 2.4k so I would say around that much?

Thank you! In the future I will be doing custom water cooling so I'm okay with higher temps as I'm not too sure A) what I could do generally speaking about cooler temps, and B) I'm not going to be squeezing 100% out of it until I fully understand what the games I play do to the new GPU (compared to my old 1050ti)

I have the Y60. The vertical (radiator) section in front of the motherboard is only good up to 2x140mm. Above the motherboard there's room for 3x120mm. In the basement there's room for another 2x120mm.

it's just that some people prefer lower temps (like myself) but it shouldn't be wildly higher

So then is it not possible to use a 3 "click fan" such as COSAIR on lilang such as thitch said earlier?

You can above the motherboard, but nowhere else.

I'm British so it would be 2.4 sterling, and I'm quite happy with my list? I'll put it here!

Furthermore I also work for a large European Technology Merchant while at university (Currys) {also know as Currys PC World}, and get 20% discount on CPU and GPU so some choices seem more expensive but will be cheaper thanks to my company, such as a 7900XTX being 799 £££

nope, it'll fit on the side, too, if you get creative as I mentioned:

I currently have an SSD in a friend's PC that he didn't mind setting up for me lol (the one on the list) so it has all my games and stuff on it, so I'm buying that one for him as it's the one he wanted ifykwim otherwise what's the difference between the RAM I picked and you picked! in the future I'll deffo be upgrading my SSD to a 4TB and probably getting some Data SSDs (just to keep CAD files on)

lower latency is much better for am5, 5600 cl28 is the sweet spot

Any advice on some Case fans that would be good? Or is any COSAIR ones good enough (as long as they link together as you described previously)

[tkitch]

Lian Li, Phanteks, Corsair, and several other brands make fans that'd work fine for this, and they're all good.
