Thanks for your honest review. I like to add one thing around the front power button might need an LED illumination light after switching off all RGB fan lights. So, we can understand that the CPU is still in case of having any power or other issues.
Just bought this case, and at least mine (mfg date Feb 2023) has a decent cutout to ease the install of large GPUs (pretty much what you cut with the angle grinder).
No way... :D I need to see this. If true this is a great change although ASUS should have maybe mention this update somewhere, even on their homepage it doesnt show the update
Great job! I was looking for a casing for my new i9 12900k and rtx4070 oriented rig, was worried about fitting a chonky water cooler radiator but no more! Gonna pick this casing. :D
Good review 👍 I found only 240 aio for tuf. Strange thing. how do you think, what for this 360 fans panel between chambers. wouldn't it be more effective to install it in bottom slot. Also rear fan without tower CPU cooler is more like a decoration imho
Thanks Oleksander?! It might be but it looks cool like this, I dont think there is much temperature differences but I can always install another extra 3 fans at bottom which is nice. I did review RYUO 3 and RYUJIN II in TUF GT502 case on i9 13900K, these reviews are coming next week!
@@TheTanelChannel I'm thinking of installing available tuf 240 aio with additional third fan just for symmetry. But then I should find the way to mount it on the same level with another two fans mounted to aio radiator.
@@ok.youtube.account If you do a 360 aio with tubes on the side of the pump, you can actually hide the tubes by having them travel down towards the side panel slots (the one in between the chambers). Looks really good, especially when you vertically mount the GPU. I'd recommend the Tuf AIO btw unless you want it more for the looks, its not the best performing and even loses out to a few good air coolers.
hello, the TUF rgb logo in the front does not turn on, the only unconnected cable is a 2 pin but on the motherboard the RGB header is 4 pin and the ARGB header is 3 pin. In the manual there is not this information
You have to slightly angle the card and get past the framework, then tilt and slide into place. There are literally 50+ builds on TH-cam that fits these cards with no issue.
The TUF 4090 fits in there horizontally just fine at around 9mm more clearance. I'd say this was a GPU error on Asus' part and not a case problem. There is no reason this card needed to be bigger than the 4090, but I have a slight feeling that this was done on purpose by Asus to sell more of their Nvidia cards. AMD has always been an afterthought to them.
Thx for clarifying this. I did discover that Asus made a revision a few months ago that negates the need to cut the chassis to fit the gpu but glad to know my TUF 4090 will fit.
I watched your video and I was looking to get this case. What you said scared me because I have a tuf 7900xtx but I went ahead and bought the case anyway and guess what. Mine is cut out for the GPU to pass thru. You got a bad case or a early version I guess but the one I got today has the cutout. Just thought I'd let viewers know. And no you definitely couldn't of got that GPU in with your case. Mine still barely fits.

Asus definitely cut corners in this one, which is disappointing given its price point. Including a few TUF fans with the argb controller would have been a nice touch, as well as a tuf themed vertical mount kit that actually had some style to it. Good case over all, picked one up when it came out.
@@RetroTeddyBear Not necessarily. Vertical mounting is ideal for this case, and in this video, he did not put the mount at the lowest possible setting, which would hide the connector as the side panel has a thick non transparent border. For horizontal mounting, at least for the 7900xtx, it appears you have to install the GPU on the mobo first, then screw it into the case. Obviously this is not ideal, but it is doable without physically cutting the case. Finally, the Asus TUF 4090, which I have, fits just fine. The issue seems to be with the AMD card, which is odd that it doesn't fit. If AMD's reference card can be thinner, and less chunky, so could ASUS's, but they didn't opt for that route. I'm guessing they just assumed you would vertically mount it at that point.
@@RetroTeddyBear Indeed it was. It could have been read both ways, one as a joke, the other as critique. Opting on the side of caution, I went for the latter (it is the internet after all). Cheers.

@@TheNflyer75 I dont think you can do math. I can assure you wont be able to fit any really big cards into this case unless you hack off a piece. Thankfully most are not as big as the 7900XTX but there is no reason for the case to have such a big blocker at the side.

I built mine yesterday and I must really say, the high level of quality and thinking that was put in the design blew me away! I LOVE it

we need a bigger strix edition of this.
That large GPU fitment is going to be a big issue for me, I think I'll avoid this casing. Thank you for the review!
I think it was user error in other vids i see 4090 asus tuf cards in there no problem
tks for the review.
I have a 4090 from galax and i think it fits without adaptation
I had no issue fitting in a tuf 4090 oc horizontally with no modification or fabrication......suprisingly you did 🤔

Do you have it vertically isntalled?
@@fluzzles no, horizontally, the normal way.
@@fluzzles The reviewer had no idea how to install the card. Vertical has slot to hook it on. Horizon he failed to just slide it in.

Can you explain how to make Asus TUF logo lights up on the front side of the case.thx
Hey, you probably dont have the RGB connector hooked up? Check that all cables are connected to motherboard
@@TheTanelChannel i will check,so it should be a single cable from the front panel which i have to hook to a argb header to a 5v or a 12v?
