On the opposite side the most obvious feature is the plastic cable management bracket, which is actually a door. The bracket is held in with two thumbscrews, but annoyingly these are not captive and they are too tight to be undone with thumbs. Both 360mm and 420mm radiators are supported, which is good. The front fan bracket is fully occupied by default, but even behind this there is about 65mm of clearance before you hit the PSU cover or HDD cage (both removable anyway). Offset mounts mean that 120mm-based radiators might be able to be thicker depending on your motherboard and memory, but no promises. Speaking of, 280mm and 360mm units are supported here with 60mm of clearance available for fans and radiator combined above the top of the motherboard. It makes for a simple way to deal with large radiators and multi-fan setups. The roof one is externally accessible once you’ve lifted out the dust filter, and it’s held in with two screws. You can also shift it towards the front of the case slightly, which is what you’ll need to do if you’re using an E-ATX board.īoth the roof and front feature removable brackets for fan/radiator installation.
The cover also acts as a cable cover and has built-in 2.5” mounting points for a single device. This includes two plastic GPU support beams to help combat sag, and the ability to reposition them is great for catering to different GPU heights and lengths. A separate bracket is supplied for supporting double vertical GPUs, and this takes the place of the horizontal brackets.īreaking up the space is a ‘multi-function cover’. For GPUs, however, the vertical GPU bracket impedes access to the regular horizontal ones, and you have to remove it entirely (four screws) just to access the necessary covers for a solo dual-slot card installation, which could surely have been avoided. Pre-installed motherboard standoffs include a longer middle one to hold the board in place as you reach for the first screw. The large dimensions also mean that clearances for components are large: 190mm for coolers and 450mm for GPUs. We also like the acrylic window in the PSU shroud, as it lets you show off your unit and is in keeping with the showcase aspirations. Thankfully, both parts of the shroud are made from steel, and overall material quality inside continues to be high. Inside, Asus uses a standard tower layout divided into two with a removable, two-part PSU shroud. It’s an excellent design that works very well. Both are attached securely yet each is released with a single push of a quick-release button on the back. The ASUS ROG Strix Helios features fabric handles for easy transport.The two glass panels are secured to steel mounting aids, thus avoiding a need for any externally visible holes or screws. On the top I/O panel, users can take advantage of a USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C port and four Gen 1 Type-A ports, as well separate 3.5mm ports for audio input and output. Further facilitating a clean look, a 1.30" cable routing space helps keep extra wiring out of sight. Removable filters at the front, top, and bottom of the case prevents dust from getting inside the case and keeps your build looking clean. An integrated fan controller allows you to adjust fan speed and the case lighting effect, including the RGB logo on the front of the case. If installing radiators at the top or front of the case, the combined thickness of the radiator and fan should not exceed 2.36 and 3.54", respectively.įeaturing an aluminum and steel construction, the Helios sports a tempered glass panel with quick-release switches. Radiators up to 140, 360, and 420mm are supported at the rear, top, and front of the case.
#ASUS ROG STRIX HELIOS INSTALL#
Users can install additional fans at the top of the case for improved airflow, or go the liquid cooling route by installing radiators. The ROG Strix Helios comes with four preinstalled 140mm fans, including three at the front and one at the rear.
ATX PSUs and CPU coolers up to 8.66 and 7.48", respectively, are also supported. This case also features eight horizontal and two vertical expansion slots, and GPUs up to 17.72" are supported.
Users can also install up to two or four more optional 2.5/3.5" or 2.5" bays, respectively, for even greater storage capabilities. Four drive plates allow 2.5" drives to be installed on the side of the case, and an internal mounting position accommodates a fifth 2.5" drive. A drive cage supports two 2.5/3.5" drives. Utilizing a mid-tower design, this case supports E-ATX, ATX, micro-ATX, and mini-ITX boards. Display your build or take it on the go with the black ROG Strix Helios GX601 Mid-Tower Case from ASUS.
