Asus BTF Build Guide and Mod Options TUF GT302

It seems a long time since we saw the Asus BTF TUF System at CES and thank you to Ting for your hospitality showing me around it... We have finally been able to get a full hands on to show your our take on it and also offer a few build tips too.
You can find all the Asus hardware used in the video and more information on BTF here: uk.asus.click/LSEUhx

Nice one, Thanks Guv!

[@toonnut1]

Looks great

[@Hoacakes]

Nice to see Asus join MSI to the Zero front connector party

[@thestreetsofhawaii]

nice to see both of them join Gigabyte

[@lilblackduc7312]

Very good, Tom! Thank you...🇺🇸 👍☕

[@MPcustomized]

Nice review broski 👌... soon I will unviel my precious BTF case ✌️😎❤

[@admodz3292]

The Asus ROG Z790 Hero BTF has the CPU fan header on the front,just above memory slots

[@orbitalwalsh]

There's also connections at the back . Can use the rear CPU connection instead of the visible front one :)

[@steveaustin4118]

honestly why the white AIO and the black cable? couldn't they put a white one there

[@portwest400]

Don't like the BTF motherboard cables/case but like the GPU connector

[@01Gamemaster10]

Asus need more customers i think, GGF Events also came with a TUF build :) Nice one.

[@lauraim9]

Thank you for this review. Good idea on the white card inside, looks great! Any update on the release in the USA for the ASUS BTF parts (graphics card, mboard, case)? Thank you

[@QuentinStephens]

I really like the BTF format and the GPU power connector in particular and this is a good start. But I do have some questions: Is Asus' power connector an open standard or a proprietary one? If it's proprietary then it's a dead duck and people will avoid it. Does the BTF GPU come with an adapter for placement in ATX motherboards? I will also make two observations: First, the GPU power connector needs to be on other slots too - not just the top one - because we don't always put a GPU in the top slot. And cards in other slots may require power as well. Second, we now need a BTF AIO CPU cooler. This might require further modifications to the motherboard, or mounting the CPU on the reverse side of the motherboard. Keep up the good work.

Weird maybe, but I like seeing my nice custom cables inside my case :) Maybe it's because it was my first new build in over 10 years, so I went with RGB fans and custom cables in a white case with a clear TG panel to admire everything. All the cables in the back is nice, but then when you see black fan cables like on this AIO doesn't it bug you to no end? Same with that CPU connector on the front: why? Is this just a temporary fad? Not being to take that GPU and put it in another, "standard" system, or even resell it down the line because of this is a huge negative.

[@MarkVersion1]

since you also reviewed the rmx shift psu, is there space both on the psu side and motherboard side for the cables? or is it fully compatible?

[@jackfrosty24]

i like how that gpu goes in smooth lol :) nice build to mmmmm underneath led light white smoked glass on the side just a lil smoked style :)

[@orbitalwalsh]

It's also a lot more secure with the dual PCB connections

[@jackfrosty24]

as for the power supply easy that asus logo cut it out leaving the logo there and seeing the psu there maybe put a led light there so you could see ;)

[@Death_Networks]

I like, but looks abit tight with those cables around the HDD cage for those of us who still use 3.5 HDD storage drives

[@Fishbait075]

Seen so many people discussing these, and posting video reviews. Struggling to find a hint or any suggest on when its likely to actually be in Joe Public's hands.

[@OC3D]

Available to preorder at Scan in the UK now

[@gmoddude12]

anyone know if this motherboard supports regular gpu's ? or does the power connector get in the way of a regular one ?

[@Ignibus]

Do you need a special case for the mobo?

[@Justmakesomenoiz]

It needs to be a btf compatible case

[@FS328]

Got mine 3 weeks ago - all 4 fans are vibrating producing very annoying noise. returned it to the shop already and no more asus for me ever. Avoid!

[@natalafeldpausch4808]

'promosm'

[@sharkeys]

not a fan of the styling it looks very dated, similar to when RBG first began to soil the market.
