Description

Like many PC Builders I loved the look of the Y70 Touch but just couldn't wait until later this year. I wound up purchasing the Snow White Version of the non touch Y70.

Both the display and touchscreen are functional on my Windows 11 machine with minimal modifications to the case. This should also be removable and you can use acetone to dissolve the glue if necessary.
I have provided 3d Models of the Faceplate for various print sizes, I used a Bambu A1 Mini with tree supports for the connector overhangs.

 

Hardware:
Hyte Y70 (Non Touch) -[ https://hyte.com/store/y70?v=305](https://hyte.com/store/y70?v=305)
Wisecoco 14.5" Display - [https://www.amazon.com/wisecoco-2560x720-Secondary-Temperature-Speakers/dp/B0CRVMTD9B](https://www.amazon.com/wisecoco-2560x720-Secondary-Temperature-Speakers/dp/B0CRVMTD9B)
SuperGlue - Any, I used Loctite precision applicator.
Acetone - To remove any overspill of glue.
Patience - Let the Glue Set before remounting to the case!

 

Software:
The Widget software is Rainmeter: https://www.rainmeter.net/

Hardware Steps:
Step 1: Remove the Glass Panel, there are two screws on top and two screws on the sides of the panel below.
Step 2: Pull the panel and give it a nice clean with a display cleaner or Windex to remove any grease.
Step 3: Remove the film on the display.
Step 4: Slide the Display HDMI Connector side down from one side so that it is sandwiched between the internal facing glass and the metal mounts located on the top and bottom of the panel.
Step 5: Clean the front side of the panel, apply Glue to the top and sides of the faceplate, use small amounts here you don't want spillage!
Line up the faceplate so that it corresponds with the display bezels.
Step 6: Let the adhesive cure, I waited approximately 2 hours.
Step 7: Route the HDMI and USB C cables through the case. I used the gap in between the vertical and horizontal PCI-E slots.
Step 8: Plug the USB-C into a port on your motherboard and connect the HDMI to the GPU.

Software Steps:
Windows will detect the panel as another display and I have my orientation set to (Portrait - Flipped)
In order to calibrate the touchscreen to the correct monitor open Control Panel > Tablet Settings > Calibrate Screen.
Animated Wallpaper: Desktop Engine, make sure to tune the brightness down to make the Rainmeter widgets pop!
Rainmeter: Install Rainmeter, then double click on the theme to start it. Settings can be accessed by right clicking a widget.
My settings are included in one of the screenshots.

This is still a work in progress so if anyone in the community makes improvements feel free to let me know! :D
