ASUS TUF Gaming GT502 System Build – Featuring B650 Plus WiFi

Today’s video was originally planned to be a standard chassis review of the new TUF Gaming GT502 from ASUS, but it quickly developed into something much grander! Alongside the chassis, we were also sent the new TUF Gaming B650 Plus WiFi motherboard, the recently launched TUF Gaming TF120 ARGB fans and the brand new ASUS ROG Ryuo III ARGB closed-loop 360mm CPU cooler, so we decided to look at the lot in one go.

With all these new ASUS parts to look at in a short space of time, we decided to give you a semi case review combined with an initial look at the B650 Plus WiFi motherboard, TF120 fans and the ROG Ryuo (I’m still not sure how you pronounce that!) III ARGB 360mm AIO cooler. So, we have built all the parts into a system to give you guys a helping hand in deciding which (if any) of these parts you might like to splash out on soon.

We also added a few other parts that we think are interesting bits of new hardware, including the brilliant new MagFlow 120mm fans from Seasonic and some fast AMD EXPO compatible DDR5 6000MHz Kingston Fury Beast RGB memory. An ASUS TUF RTX 3080 12GB graphics card, AMD Ryzen 7600X CPU, a WD_Black SN820 2TB PCIe Gen4 M.2 SSD were thrown in for good measure and a little bit of overclocking was applied to the CPU.
