Review on πŸ–₯️ Asus ROG Strix Helios GX601 RGB Mid-Tower Computer Case - USB 3.1, EATX Support, Smoked Tempered Glass, Brushed Aluminum, Steel Construction, 4 Fans by Terrance Castle

Revainrating 4 out of 5

If you're looking for a cheap case this isn't it, but if you're an ASUS fanatic it is.

This is a case with plenty to talk about. I've had it for a long time and there's an AORUS 3090 Master in it, so I've got a really good heater in my case. Jokes aside, the airflow isn't the best in this case, but it does keep my 3090 at a maximum temperature of 65C, sometimes creeping up to 67C. Thermal performance is fine, my CPU is water-cooled with AIO and this one Case supports 360mm wheel when used either on the top of the case or on the front of the case. Installing from above is also a problem because, as usual, there is no special bracket that makes installation easier. By the way, this case is just as solid as the others but doesn't feel bulky, the cover that hides the cables to the right of the mainboard area needs to be pulled back completely when using 3-4 3090 slots, otherwise everything will be fine. The case offers the option of placing GPUs vertically, although this is not recommended as your GPU will likely be correct. in glass, if that's what you really want I'd suggest getting one of those mounts that allow you to attach it to horizontal mounts so the GPU can be further away from the glass. comes with a $300 PC case (when I bought it) is that it doesn't include a vertical cable even though it's a $300 PC case. So get ready to buy your own at this point. As always, RGB is an issue. So if you want to use RGB on your front screen, make sure your motherboard has a 5V header or hub that supports it. If you have other components that are RGB and require a 5V socket, just be aware that you may have to go without one if you don't have enough connectors or a hub. This is really a case for ASUS fans, there really is no point in getting this one if you don't or if you really like the aesthetics, otherwise there are much better cases out there for a better price, although in my **case * * (no pun intended) I'm a little fanboy here.

Pros
  • Rugged design
Cons
  • So far, so good
