ASUS TUF Gaming GT302 ARGB Case Review

The introduction of rear facing or hidden connectors has created quite a ripple in the latest chassis designs. Asus has launched cases at all levels to support their reverse-connector ecosystem. Today we will be looking at their latest mid-tower gaming case, the TUF Gaming GT302 ARGB.

Designed for ultimate thermal performance and the latest motherboards the TUF Gaming GT302 ticks all the boxes. Let’s see if this is the case you have been waiting for!

Asus offers the TUF Gaming GT302 in the black you see here and a fully white configuration. Sizing is on the larger side for an ATX case at 235 x 520 x 485 mm (~9.25 x 20.47 x 19.09 inches). This trend towards larger cases does provide plenty of room for customization and custom cooling setups.

Probably the most striking feature is the large open grid pattern of the mesh across the external surfaces to aid in airflow. Only the tempered glass surface is exempt. This design should provide maximum airflow throughout the case.

Let’s see what else this case brings to the table!

• Square-type front panel engineered to maximize airflow efficiency
• Unique four 140 x 28 mm ARGB fan solution to deliver the ultimate in thermal performance
• Removable top panel design to facilitate faster system assembly
• Interchangeable side panel design enables switching between optimal cooling performance and full interior view
• Supports ATX motherboards with hidden connectors to the fullest extent
