ASUS ROG Hyperion GR701 BTF Edition Case

This is the first high end case I bought, and my 10th or so tower build over 35 years. This was the easiest case I’ve ever worked with and it has great cable management. The quality is impressive, the 200 mm front fans and rear fan are very quiet (of course under high load you can hear them). The air filters are very well designed. I’m running an Asus Z790 MB with an i7-14700K, RTX3080, a 280 mm CPU water cooler from Corsair, and an Asus 1000W power supply. I was very surprised how much cooler this machine stays even with barely audible fans vs. my past few machines. Even with MS Flight Sim running maxed out its still pretty quiet. Also, no issues with regard to my 2 TB M.2 PCIe 5.0 x4 SSD heating wise using the stock heat sink on the MB. Everything fits well, just have one complaint. The 2.5″ bays on the backside are set up such that a normal 90 degree SATA cable is backwards, so I think Asus should have included reverse 90 degree sata cables. But if you have a flexible set you can make it work, or just use one of the the 3.5 in bays with an adapter.

It’s a great looking case, with a minimalist aesthetic, and it’s very easy to work in. Had no issue with a side access Corsair shift PSU. The size and fans have been great for air cooling on the cpu. Downsides thus far are minimal but: 1) No optical bay, which with a case this big would have been nice, 2) doesn’t appear to have vibration pads for the 3.5″ drives, 3) GPU fast lock slots on outside of case are aligned one slot above GPU, 4) fan power cable should have been a few inches longer, 5) annoying large sticker on glass was very hard to remove. All that said, it’s a solid case and if you have the space, I’d say buy it.

As soon as you open the box, you can tell the quality. Nothing cheap here, great construction, designed for easy cable management, 4 USB 3.2 ports (Type A) and 1 Type C in the front. 2 control buttons: 1 for the LED lights and 1 for the fans, making this super convenient if you don’t want to open your app to adjust them.

The design makes it easy to built your computer, whether you’re using an ATX or EATX board. Still using SATA Hard-Disk, all bays are hidden at the bottom of the casing.

One little “heads-up” on the size of the case, having space for EATX boards makes it bigger than most. Not dramatically bigger though. The extra space makes it easier to install components like a watercooler; additionally big fingers can do perfect cable management. Finally, this quality case is also heavier than most but with the 2 side and front panels made of tempered glass, it can’t be light.

After building gaming computers for more than 20 years, this is the best casing I ever had.

It took me long time to think, do I need this case or not. Really didn’t want to spent this much for just a case, but it turned out that this case one of the best cases. Really big , can fit any GPU ( my choice was ASUS Rog Strix 4080 OC (450mm)). Overall Looks insane, brushed aluminium looks brutal, really thick side panels (4mm tempered glass) and AURA RGB on front glass panel top of the top. Excellent for any “hot” builds , 4x 140mm fans included, excellent airflow, but stock fans a little loud. It is really showcase what will lasts you for whole your life and you’ll never be tired of it.

Very spacious, very pretty. Note that the light panel is not lit however – I have been waiting on ASUS to replace the argb cable that was broken when it arrived (pre installed) not the worst thing in the world just slightly irritating as they are VERY SLOW to replace something I would consider very easy to replace. They have taken a lot of flak tho about their RMA process recently – but who’s gonna ship back a 45lb case for the sake of a very light little cable???

Great airflow. Overpriced at the original price but got it on a deal. Cable management is good if you have the patience, I clearly have partial patience 😂 I really do love the case tho
