Asus is expanding its offering of cases this week with the new TUF Gaming GT502. This is a dual-chamber case, with panoramic tempered glass and a ton of room for additional cooling fans.
The TUF Gaming GT502 chassis gives users a wide array of options for planning their next high-powered build. It arrives in two variants: the TUF Gaming GT502 Plus, which ships with four pre-installed ARGB fans and an ARGB hub, and the TUF Gaming GT502, which ships without fans, so you can install your own fans of choice. In all, the chassis has room for 13 fans, which should be more than enough to keep even high-end builds cool.
The rear chamber has 90mm of space for cable management, and houses the power supply. There is also room in this chamber for storage drives, or up to a 360mm radiator for liquid cooling. The main chamber is where all your main hardware will be, with broad vents to draw air through the bottom panel.
The interior of the GT502 houses graphics cards up to 400mm long. An included vertical mounting bracket lets users choose whether they would prefer to orient a graphics card horizontally or vertically — all that's needed is a riser cable to show off a card’s shroud and fans in a vertical orientation. The case also comes with a GPU holder to keep it level without sagging. This is particularly useful for graphics cards with very bulky heatsinks.
