Asus TUF Gaming GT502 Case Review: Pros, Cons, and Everything in Between!

[@jubeikibagami1601]

I have owned this case for over a year now. Confused at first by the second chamber - modded one of those panels to allow pass through of my AIO tubing and mounted my rad in the rear chamber, completely isolating it from the main chamber which holds my 4090 w/ three bottom and three top fans. Added three 40mm Noctua fans for exhaust to that vertical vent in the back and it keeps everything very cool at all times.

[@wb141]

TIP: the MSI 140mm PCIE 4.0 x16 Riser works perfectly with this case given the very short distance between the vertical riser and the board

[@NoFear1979]

Just a heads up, never suggest or recommend to put a radiator at the bottom of a case. Simply because the small amount of air in radiator cooling solutions will travel and get stuck in the pump (highest point) and it will reduce the lifespan and increase tear and wear on the pump, as well as reduce the effectiviness of the cooling which is bad!

Excellent Review, thank you for in-depth review. I'll get this one.

[@htpoint]

Thanks for watching

[@jack-play_games]

a realy nice case!! Thanks!

[@YEGOBLACK]

very informative, thank you👍

[@YH-eh8sg]

This is a really nice review! I have a liquid cooler (ROG Strix LC II 360 ARGB) with the fan and radiator installed on the top. Recently, I need to upgrad my GPU to the MSI 4090 Suprim Liquid X 24G. Is it possible to install its radiator and fans on the backside?

[@hypogogix9125]

Thanks man. I think I'll just stick with the m.2 storage and use my old rig as a storage server/firewall via proxmox.

[@1nicko29]

looks solid and very user-friendly.

[@nb1843]

for the love of god why didnt u turn it on once u finished the build??omg

[@Zombie_M8]

you made me laugh

[@htpoint]

Thats a very good question actually, I should have included that, I am doing the new bequite dark base pro 901 case and will definitely make sure to turn it on 😁

[@Qxaldo]

does this case bring any fans?

[@zombie-survivor]

No.

[@dwildstar23]

​@zombie-survivor yes it doe

[@dwildstar23]

Comes with 3 reinstalled 120 fans in front and 1 in back

[@Qxaldo]

I bought the case it didn’t bring any

[@mts4651]

​@@Qxaldoonly with the plus model not the standard 502 one.

[@stavrosst7515]

Does the panel for radiator or fans in the back fits in the front panel?

[@santaclause6462]

....you always want your radiators drawing in fresh air aka not pushing air out from inside the case.

[@rafars2246]

It makes zero difference. Learn thermodynamics...

[@rolandaliti8079]

@@rafars2246If your ambient temperature is relatively cool in your room, then intake for the radiator is better.

[@rafars2246]

@@rolandaliti8079 I would say to exhaust always. The whole point of cooling is to reduce temperature in your whole system. While your cpu would maintain the same temperature one way or the other, your system would suffer higher temperatures if you're bringing warmer air inside.

[@rafars2246]

@@rolandaliti8079 Also, you want more fans bringing more air than exhausting air, so negative pressure is created in order to have a relatively dust free case.

[@bobykim5311]

Such a great case with all magnet side that come off easily and dustfilters! (Lian Li shouild take an example) . Dual chamber is also super. But then...the intake. At the bottom. So cooled air is coming from the bottom straight into the hot GPU. The mosfets, M.2 SSD's on the MB are not cooled. The air that flows over the mosfets and M.2 SSD is probably hot air from the GPU.

[@smamas114]

I didnt had problem with a 4080 gpu (gigabyte gaming version ) mounted vertically ( the reason i had to change the case , the old one i was not sure it fit) but i had problem mounting the radiator on the side horizontally, there was no space because the fans are hitting the case and one problem ,you can not place 3 fans on the side as you can see in the video !! Next time i will be more careful buying a case .....plus the logo it's not working, i think you need asus mobo or hub rgb controller

[@tomgreen876]

i dont take advice from someone who buys a case and sets the fans up in such a stupid way exhaust fan at the back, extra intake along the top of the front side its not rocket science and 2 fans are cheap.

[@1canaldivertido]

You can use the buttons on the side panels to remove them more easily

[@kvu236]

this or lian lin air mini ? why this has a smaller cpu cooler height allowed? i want to get dark rock pro 5 in it as dark rock pro 5 is cheaper than a Noctua NH-U12A but the height doesnt fit the case lol

[@hvhnubek]

just get an aio

[@marks9233]

Thermalright Peerless Assassin or Frost Spirit outperforms all of those for 1/3 the price and will fit

[@4EverSuzuki]

Could I ask what is the maximum size psu this case will fit in lenght?

[@deesteez4329]

200mm

[@4EverSuzuki]

You're the mvp thanks for improving another persons day@@deesteez4329

[@sudoroot777]

can i mount the hdd and ssd a the bottom of the case?

[@zombie-survivor]

I don't think so.

[@kurt120032002]

tu be fair the nVidia power cable is dumb. I will wait for 5080/90 and if they double down on bumb shit like this, I will just get the AMD and be done with it.

[@mmee2776]

isn't this a copy of Lian Li O11 AIR Mini White Mini Tower Gaming Case. And O11 air mini is way better

[@htflprsn.1001]

Haha, AIR MINI with radiators 280 at top, good luck with 13700 and above CPUs. TBH I really want that O11 had it and it will became a better choise than this

[@AquaLady153]

😅

[@ultrapma]

Best airflow between : COOLERMASTER H500P mesh vs Asus TUF Gaming GT502 PLEASE HELP ME Which One?

[@Zero-Cool_]

Lian li 216x 😉 👍

[@mandestroyer9000]

I think the GT502 is slightly better in airflow and way better in design

[@SomewhatObscureFurry]

Very informative video but the intro gave me a seizure and a half-

[@carlosfester]

Talk a little about sponsored reviews... I open KZbin today and see dozens of different videos presenting (unboxing), reviewing and assembling the same Asus TUF Gaming GT case... as if there were no other case on the planet, everyone around at the same time reviewing the same component... no wonder these things are so expensive, the cost of the hundreds of items distributed to KZbinrs (the favorite ones at least) must be diluted in consumer products. So far ok, it's part of the game, but hey, it gets tiring with everyone talking about the same thing (and none of them finding fault).

[@htpoint]

This one i bought myself, but even things I receive I always go through the pros and cons. There are a few companies I have refused because they wanted to see the video prior to my posting I always try to be honest with all of my reviews, and that's how products improve on the next version anyways.

[@AquaLady153]

this reminds me of a verge moment
