Tempered glass panels, dual cooling zones and an optional ARGB package stand ready to make high-end gaming hardware shine
ASUS
today announced the TUF Gaming GT502 computer case, which features dual
chambers, panoramic tempered glass and space for up to 13 fans. PC builders
know that cooling cannot be an afterthought. Today’s high-performance CPUs and
graphics cards offer unprecedented processing power for gamers, creators, and
users of all kinds, and it is exceptional cooling that unlocks that potential.
The TUF Gaming GT502, with its dual-chamber thermal design, gives builders an
eye-catching and versatile enclosure that is primed and ready for high-end
components.
The TUF Gaming GT502 chassis
gives users a wide array of options for planning the cooling system of 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 invites users to design and install their own cooling
system.
Both variants feature a
dual-chamber design. The roomy rear chamber offers a 90 mm space for cable
management — but that's just the start. It also houses the power supply, and it
includes a versatile bracket to mount up to three storage drives or even a 360 mm
radiator. And it's all isolated from the primary heat-producing components in
the main chamber.
Speaking of the main chamber, it's
built end-to-end for efficient cooling. Broad vents draw cooling air in from
the bottom panel. The TUF Gaming GT502 PLUS uses four pre-installed 120 mm ARGB
fans to exhaust heat through the rear and top of the case, and there's plenty
of room to add more. In total, the GT502 supports a maximum of 13 fans, letting
users direct cooling air right where they need it.
But that's not the only way that users
might cool their high-end rig. The top vent in the main chamber supports
radiators up to 360 mm for AIO coolers or custom loops. Even if users are
dialing in a beastly overclock, the GT502 will give them the cooling options their
hardware needs.
ASUS designed the TUF Gaming
GT502 to give users an easy building experience, inside and out. Support for
ATX PSUs and up to ATX motherboards offers a wide array of options for select
parts. The tool-free side panels allow users to roll up their sleeves and start
building without any hassle.
Cable management is easy, too.
The versatile fan bracket in the rear chamber has built-in cable clips
and outlets, so whether it is being used for storage, fans, or for a liquid
cooling radiator, one can conveniently route all the necessary cables.
The
spacious interior of the GT502 houses graphics cards up to 400 mm 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.
Today’s
high-performance graphics cards often use a thick heatsink to dissipate heat.
The GT502 helps keep a card perfectly level over time with an included graphics
card holder. Its three-section adjustment structure supports a wide range of
graphics cards, no matter how they are installed. It will shoulder horizontal
graphics cards in a range of 46 to 139 mm, and vertical graphics cards in a
range of 15 to 42 mm.
The GT502 offers exceptional
versatility right out of the box, but many builders will want to apply their
own mods to personalize it even further. With over 25 detachable parts, this
case gives modders exceptional customization options. If there is a section of
the GT502 that users would like to customize with their own design, they will
be able to quickly remove it.
The TUF
Gaming Alliance
gives users a broad selection of components rigorously tested for
compatibility, stability, and durability — and they all look good together,
thanks to a cohesive aesthetic. The TUF Gaming GT502’s wide transparent windows
on the left and front panels give a commanding view of a carefully coordinated
build.
Whether users love to go all-in
on RGB lighting or just prefer a set of understated accents, the GT502 gives them
the options that they are looking for. The illuminated TUF Gaming logo on the
front panel supports Aura Sync, so it is easy to coordinate with other gear.
Owners of the TUF Gaming GT502 Plus can use the included 6-port ARGB hub,
protected from accidental short circuits with its plastic housing, to set up a
dazzling array of lights. Synchronize it all through a compatible motherboard
with Aura Sync, or toggle between preset lighting effects with a button on the
front panel.
Convenient connectivity and maintenance options
The TUF Gaming GT502 case offers conveniences that go far beyond the
building process. It is designed for comfortable everyday use as well. A rich
selection of ports on the front panel makes it easy to connect a headset and
other peripherals. The USB Type-C® port on the front is wired for speed: install
a motherboard with a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C header to put exceptional transfer
speeds within arm’s reach.
The GT502 is also easy to move around. It includes two woven-cotton
handles tested to securely support up to 30 kg or 66 pounds. Whether a user is placing
a freshly-built PC on their desk, moving it to a new location in their home, or
taking it along to a LAN party, they can carry their build with confidence. The
handles are strong enough for just about any selection of parts one might
install—though if a user has assembled a large custom liquid cooling loop, it
might be prudent to check the weight of the completed rig on a scale.
Keeping the internals of the GT502 spotless is quick and painless.
Filters for the top, bottom, and right-hand vents help keep clogging dust away
from components, and they are easy to remove and clean whenever necessary.
The TUF Gaming GT502 gives users the options that they are looking
for in their next high-performance PC. With its dual-chamber design, it lets
one design an exceptional cooling system. Full-sized tempered glass panels on
the front and left side put carefully selected components in full view. And
with hassle-free cable management options, a vertical mounting bracket for
graphics cards, an included 6-port ARGB controller in the GT502 Plus, and easy
modding options, users can make the most of the panorama those windows provide.
