Thermaltake Tower 600 Review - Not bad!

[@tankerock]

Built my new system in the Tower 300 2 months ago and love it.

[@kalkydra]

Does the Tower 300 have space for a GPU like the one shown here along with two Elgato capture cards, or does the GPU take up all the space in the back for additional PCIe cards?

[@tankerock]

@@kalkydra No you won't have space to fit 2 capture cards. The mobo is only matx.

[@tankerock]

@@kalkydra You will need to go for the Tower 600.

[@matthew.tamasco]

Absolutely love my Tower 300 with the front panel LCD. Can't wait to upgrade my full ATX build into one of these with a new project zero motherboard. Looks incredible!!!

[@sinnerslight]

can the tower 300 hold an ATX motherboard. i have a asus x470 prime. i like the look of this case but the 600 looks pretty huge. if i'm right in assuming the 300 is a smaller version, i'd rather take that.

[@matthew.tamasco]

@@sinnerslight the 300 is for micro-ATX. I have seen a few threads on Reddit about modifying the case to squeeze in a full ATX bit I believe they ran into a bunch of issues trying to get it to work. I will admit that the 300 is kind of big for an m-ATX board but I used it as an excuse to upgrade to a new chipset motherboard and love the room for additional drives. I also use the front panel screen option and love it!

[@sinnerslight]

@matthew.tamasco oh ok. Thank you for the reply. I don't have a lot of space so having a big case isn't suitable for me. And in the video it just looks huge. Guess I'll keep looking for a case

[@reclessantics]

oh my gosh thank you!!!! I have an e-atx board in mind and was asking questions on reddit and other places becuase doing my own research, I felt like an e-atx board would fit! THANK YOU!!

Hi Stuart. I've been meaning to comment for some time but have been so busy I haven't got around to it. I have to say I have thoroughly enjoyed the increase in reviews you have done recently. I always love it when you do a review because nobody else puts the same level of focus on water cooling support or the same breadth and depth of topics and content. I also wanted to give you a heads up that I will be sending you Version 6 of my PC components icon set within the next few days via email. Version 5 took Adobe nearly 8 weeks to review and approve before publishing on my profile for people to purchase on the Adobe Stock site so you should get a good couple of months exclusive access and use of the latest update that adds a load of new components such as the CAMM2 and LPCAMM2 RAM plus many extras to update existing ones with the latest standards bringing the total number of icons up to 375 plus about another 50 odd in the "unused icons' layer that are turned off by default. I may also include a build template that you can use when putting together invoices for your clients just in case you may find it useful.

[@ethandearman3965]

I just did a tower 300 build in their racing green and loved the build quality and attention to detail as far as how its assembled if they release the 600 in the same color I might just have to upgrade

[@hoyle038]

" This is what we do" Love this. As always, super nice build!!!!

[@Alex-qh5iv]

Should have waited with my build, went with the tower 300, don't get me wrong I love how it turned out, but that more space in this beauty would have been nice aswell 😅

[@dejavito238]

Very good informative review, thank you! I have question about the Vapor Chamber issues. I want to mount (with the help of a PCIe Riser cable + a mount) the GPU over the PSU covers. This way the GPU will be in the correct position for when the case is standing up. However, for this to happen, I think no radiators/fans should be put on the left and right side of the case - otherwise there will be no space. The Tower 500 I think this i doable, because you can put a 280mm AIO on the top of the case, leaving you with blank canvas for the top of the PSU covers (the two removable plates) This case does not support a top rad, so for this plan to happen I need to place my AIO on the right side and put a short two fan GPU again horizontally, but pushed far left on those PSU covers. What do you think, is this doable on either of the cases (500 or 600) or If I want a tower case, I should be looking at liquid cooled GPU? I bought new parts some months ago - 280mm AIO among them - and will soon look to buy 4070 ti or super. I like the tower cases, and want to change my current Thermaltake Core X5 Riing with the new tower designs, but I'm worried about the GPU temps. Thank you!

[@Viqtir]

I love Thermaltake. Super cool video (as always).

[@GGFEvents]

@@Viqtir thank you

[@noraam46]

​@@GGFEventsmay you please give us the link for the GPU cable vertical front setup please? I cannot find it! Thank you

[@KaosII1968]

Nice build. I would buy an extra top and then move all the IO and on-off switch into the 5 and a quarter bay, or what ever size that is.

[@jamiewilliams1410]

I just so happen to have the same MB you used, along with a Sapphire 7900 XTX Pulse that I was concerned about it fitting. I just read that some GPU vapor chambers run quite a bit more hot with the IO facing up. I know you have water cooled yours so this will not pertain to this review but I will need to find out more info. Running it horizontally with the stand might be needed. Very thorough review, thank you...

[@justrife]

I own the tower 900 in black and the tower 300 in hydrangea blue, I'll also be buying this tower 600 when it drops, I love the placement of the usb ports and if you go for the optional standike I did, you gain flexibility on where the usb ports are, I would NEVER sit any tower series case on top of the desk, but that's just me, altho my tower 300 sits horizontally on top of my tower 900 so who am I to judge lol

[@christopherbussiere4415]

Nice builds ❤

[@nicholaseedy3244]

Thanks, been waiting for this.

[@rodhester2166]

Would be nice if the ports could be moved to bottom or top per builders preference, if they just made it the same size as the display the two could be enterchangeable. The best usb ports and power button location depends on if computer is on top or below the desk.

[@chemislife]

Personally where they are is best for me because Im planning to lay it on its side with the optional kit which will put them just behind my monitor out of sight.

[@mr_spacedout713]

interesting case! Would love to know your thoughts on the thermaltake P6

[@micketkeong]

It can hold E-ATX, nice one.

[@truesoupplay]

Lovely to see content on this case! Not even on the Thermaltake website! I would've loved to see an mATX board in here! Shame you weren't able to try that. I'm doing an mATX build, I like the improvements they made and the options for GPU cooling fans. Torn between the Tower 300 and the 600, but the 600 is a very wide boy, and I want a forward facing orientation on my little desk. And I don't want to wait the months for the colour I want. Any news on release date?

[@LuisPolo-u8w]

apparently the case was released already, but I think it was released in Taiwan.

[@truesoupplay]

@@LuisPolo-u8w eally? So how comes there's so few videos on it?

[@LinkCherryTree]

I see a huge flaw so those fans are blocking the other pci express slot you cant even add a capture card to it internally unless you do not put those fans.

[@gtbeakerman]

Yes TT should have placed some USB ports near the bottom of the front panel.

[@Navitus]

They have a good thing going for them then. Next iteration it would be nice to have interchangeable top and bottom plates for the front io and screen. Would have to be a cutout for the top but I can see it being do-able.

[@FoxyGekkerson]

I *really* like the look of this case, but it only has space for one 3.5" HDD. My current build uses the Thermaltake Level 10 GT and has all five HDD bays full. If I get a new build, I'd have to either get a NAS case for the other drives, replace the HDDs with 2.5" SSDs and NVMEs, or forego this case entirely and get the Tower 500 instead.

[@ZETxZ4]

I'm just guessing it here, but I imagine the way they did to get rid of the green glass is just by changing the glass type to "Crystal Clear glass", it's what Aquascapers use on their fish tanks, the glass is super clean,if you don't see the edges it almost looks like there's nothing in there, super nice. It should be the standard glass for these type of cases, but crystal clear glass are very expensive compared to normal glass.

[@RyanFennec]

Looks nice

[@teethashaquan5395]

compared to the Tower 300, this looks like a wide load. I'm gonna have to look at a different case now lol.

[@tonydalimata]

The tower 600 is everything i wish my tower 500 was. Except for red , what does Thermaltake have against red ?

[@EmoEmu]

I hope they'll make a v2 of the 7 year old Tower 900.

[@mrysl926]

When is the release date? I’ve been waiting

[@lvlcarnagelvl7659]

Early Sept, there actually on preorder on TT website but it’ll cost 207$ with basic shipping

[@hescominsoon]

what song is being played when you first revealed the full build?

[@kaiserpr0728]

Does the be quiet ! Dark power pro 13 1,600W power supply fit in the tower 600 case? Or I need a smaller power supply? Please let me know if you read this cause I’m buying that case in Amazon and thank you.

[@zoomisvibes]

I want this case for my next build but I don't think I can handle water cooling so I'll use a 140mm tower double fan for my i9 13900k I'll be fine right? I do 3 commercials in blender and 3d long format videos and a little gaming on the side at 1440 ultra?

[@olydaniel]

If I see this correctly, there's no cover for the "rear IO" so you'll just see the cables sticking out into the top? There's also no fan / RGB hub I suppose, can't find anything about this on their website.

[@noraam46]

@GGFEvents may you please give us the link for the GPU cable vertical front setup please? I cannot find it! Thank you

[@mimic60102]

Question for you. Do you reckon My noctua nh d15 would fit with the gpu in the riser position? Would love to set it up like this its hard to tell how far over the card sits.

[@sinnerslight]

Sorry if this sounds stupid. But I'm currently looking for a pc case. The tower 300 caught my eye cause I want a relatively small case. I have an asus x470 prime motherboard and a 6700xt red devil. Would that fit in the 300? Or would I need to get this one? Am I wrong in thinking the 300 and 600 are the same just one bigger?

[@Qataqo254]

arctic aio should fit if u remove psu shroud??

[@bacalagaming7982]

How will someone use back ports ??

[@skynetintex5878]

@GGF Events - great build as usual. Quick question regarding the Thermaltake Pacific V-RTX STRIX\TUF 4080 Block. I noticed that the backplate is white. Does it come like that as purchased or did you also paint/spray that? If you painted it, what type of paint/spray did you use?

[@randygo7881]

What is the total dimension while in the stand? I got limited space thanks

[@Damageinc.]

Where did you get the white lcd screen? Did you wrap that?

[@GGFEvents]

@@Damageinc. Painted it

[@dynastes4938]

I have thought so for a long time, but never actually said so, I think: You got to be about the most skilled PC builder I have seen, on KZbin and elsewhere. Really clean and nice work. Also very good attention to detail on the review itself. This case is really quite quirky, as to be expected from this design. If you plan out your build well, it can look great, but port access is certainly less than practical and space efficiency is relatively low, too.

[@ebnyflyer]

I wish it was wall mountable

[@luigipagnini]

I really like the layout of this case, but I would like to insert an Arctic liquid freezer III (68 mm thick in total). In the video you say that there are only 62 mm at the bottom for an aio liquid cooler, so I can't put an Arctic LF 360 or 420 that reach the bottom, but if I put a 280 do you think I would have problems on the top (always on the right side) of the case? Would it touch the motherboard? thanks.

[@T0ban]

i built in a 420 Arctic freezer III its possible but be warned its very tight in the bottom with the power supply and you need to be a lil bit creative ^^

[@luigipagnini]

@@T0ban thanks for the reply. Did you have to "adapt" the case in any way? (move the PSU frame for example). I was thinking of doing this to fit an Arctic LF III 420 with the tubes at the bottom. A home made adaptation.

[@T0ban]

@@luigipagnini na thankfully not but i had to remove 1 screw of the bottom fan to fit in the PSU and dont be shy you need a lil bit of pressure then fo push in the PSU :)

[@luigipagnini]

@@T0ban well, glad to know that at least with the tubes up it fits even if narrow. I read on reddit that the fan in contact with the psu makes a bit of noise, is that true?

[@T0ban]

@@luigipagnini I’ve got my built for a week now and tested it with benchmarks and intense gaming. All you can hear is the fans at full utilization but not any other noise no idea what ppl did while they built their pc 😅

Hey @GGF can you tell me the name of the song in the intro I would be very grateful thanks

[@GGFEvents]

@@nick42579 Infraction - S witch

[@justatim8143]

I like the case but not the front I/O and the TT's all over. The I/o would force me to stand every time I use it being on the top and the TT's would have to be painted as I don't like advertisement all over the case and fans. As it is I would Cut and lay down the motherboard tray then cut the tower down to fit which would then make it easier to use the I/O and the TT's would all Go Away..

[@josemanzanilla115]

What about air cooling support? I hate radiators.

[@GGFEvents]

@@josemanzanilla115 maybe watch the video

[@Fleshlight_Reviewer]

Way too big. This case is for dudes with huge trucks 😂

[@GGFEvents]

@@Fleshlight_Reviewer not big at all. Most cases will be this size for ATX motherboard support

[@atenleggedninja]

nah, if you require 128gb of RAM, you need an ATX/EATX mobo. I do 3d Modeling and simulations; and video editing. I need all that RAM. This case has a smaller footprint than most of the popular ATX Cases. I'm looking forward to getting it in the next few months for a custom loop build. I drive a 2022 Malibu btw. 😆

[@GGFEvents]

@@atenleggedninja good luck!

[@unimusha77]

Apologies but you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about lol. I need to run unreal and im thinking about getting the AMD threadripper. So ill need a 420 mm aio and a str5 socket mobo. I was thinking of getting the tower 300 but found it weird that a case that took a 420 mm aio was mATX only hahah so weird . Im beyond happy to see they fixed this MAJOR flaw. Oh btw there are bigger cases that don’t take a 420 iao loll

[@all4espi]

Not gonna lie. It looks cheap.

[@Aggressive_Splooge]
