    Installation and Conclusion

    To test the fit and finish we installed our ASUS Crossfire X870E Hero Motherboard. This ATX motherboard measures in at a pretty typical 30.5cm x 24.4cm (about 12 x 9.6 inches) and fits with plenty of extra space.

    The Crossfire may not have those hidden connectors but the fit is excellent.

    There is plenty of room up top for custom cooling both above and in front of the motherboard.  Changing out the front cooling for an optional 140 mm or 280 mm radiator setup.

    Just look at all that room!  It’s easy to envision a good double loop for cooling and plenty of custom tubing.  This really does feel like a case with plenty of room for future growth.

    Installing the included vertical GPU mount is pretty easy but requires additional vertical cabling to be purchased. Graphics cards are supported up to 407mm long and 125mm thick (when using the vertical mount).

    Conclusion

    The ASUS TUF Gaming GT302 ARGB Case is that rare design that innovates effortlessly. All your typical features are present with subtle improvements like the toolless side panels waiting to be discovered.  This case is perfect for current builds and for those looking to try the rear facing motherboards.

    I love the open design and the grid look. Nothing flashy just a full featured ARGB case that looks great, cools like a pro and doesn’t break your budget.
