The TUF Gaming GT302 ARGB chassis makes it easy to build a high-performance PC with great cooling

The world of PC building is changing rapidly, and your wish list for your next chassis is likely changing with it. To meet the needs of the next generation of PC builders, we’re proud to announce the TUF Gaming GT302 ARGB chassis. Prepped and ready for great out-of-the-box cooling, equipped for wide compatibility with high-performance parts, and thoughtfully constructed inside and out for an easy PC DIY experience, the GT302 ARGB resets expectations for a mainstream case.

Great cooling right out of the box

So often, today’s PC builders go big on cooling to ensure an excellent balance of performance and quiet operation. From the moment you pull it out of its packaging, the TUF Gaming GT302 ARGB gives you a superb foundation for high-end cooling.

It starts with a front panel designed first and foremost to maximize airflow efficiency. It’s constructed of a wide-open, high-porosity square-type mesh that leaves ample room for fresh air to enter your PC.

Four pre-installed 140mm ARGB case fans move cool air through the chassis. We selected exceptionally thick spinners that measure 28mm in depth. The GT302 ARGB’s fans offer up to 3mmH20 static pressure and 115 CFM airflow for excellent cooling with quiet operation.

The TUF Gaming GT302 ARGB also has enough elbow room to install a large liquid cooling radiator up to 360mm. The top panel is fully detachable so that it’s easy and hassle-free to install and clean the radiator.

The TUF Gaming GT302 ARGB chassis offers wide compatibility

Not all mid-tower chassis are designed with the space to accommodate larger components, which can be a problem for builders with a taste for high-end GPUs.

With the TUF Gaming GT302 ARGB, you’ll have no such difficulties. If you use its 2-way PCIe mount to install your graphics card in a horizontal orientation, you’ll be able to fit graphics cards up to 407mm long. That’s long enough to handle even the mighty ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4090. If you opt for a vertical orientation instead, you’ll be able to install cards that are up to 125mm thick.

Bigger motherboards are on the menu, too. The GT302 ARGB can fit motherboards all the way up to monster E-ATX boards (up to 12” x 10.9”). Looking to install a large array of storage drives? The GT302 ARGB’s versatile storage drive brackets make it a breeze. With each of these brackets, you can install an HDD and an SSD at the same time, allowing for a mixture of two 2.5” SSDs and two 3.5” HDDs using only two brackets.

Ready for your BTF build

Our new ecosystem of BTF PC components (Back-To-The-Future) lets you easily build a PC that tucks the cables out of sight for a tidy, fresh look — made possible by new motherboards that hide their connectors on the back side rather than the front. For the most part, standard PC DIY components will work with a BTF motherboard, but you will need a compatible chassis. The TUF Gaming GT302 ARGB’s motherboard tray will work just fine with standard motherboards, but it also includes the cutouts you need to access the connectors on a BTF motherboard.

Even if you’re not using the GT302 ARGB for a BTF build, you’ll appreciate its extensive cable management options. It devotes a roomy 37mm of space for routing your cables. The cable grommet bar is built with three large straps that make it easy to route two sets of cables. Additionally, three small clips on the rear side panel help you route the 8-pin cable for the CPU.

An easy building experience with the TUF Gaming GT302 ARGB

The TUF Gaming GT302 ARGB’s detachable top panel, wide component compatibility, and cable management options are just the start of the many ways that it streamlines your PC building process. Even just accessing your internal components is easy thanks to the tool-free side panels.

The detachable top panel

If you ask PC builders what their favorite part of assembling a computer is, they’re not likely to mention the process of attaching the cables for the front-panel I/O. To take the hassle out of this crucial step, the TUF Gaming GT302 ARGB has a unified front I/O header that can plug all these elements in at once.

Convenient connectivity

The TUF Gaming GT302 ARGB case offers conveniences that go far beyond the building process. It’s designed for comfortable everyday use, as well. A rich selection of ports on the front panel makes it easy to connect your headset and other peripherals. The USB Type-C port on the front is wired for speed — install a motherboard with a USB 20Gbps Type-C header to put exceptional transfer speeds within arm’s reach.

Unobtrusive style in two colors

Some chassis options take center stage with bold, brash designs. Others are content to let the other components of your build be the stars of the show. The TUF Gaming GT302 ARGB follows this second path. Its regular geometry and clean lines give it a straightforward style that’s easy to match with just about any components on the market.

Two TUF gaming fans, one with a black frame and one with a white frame

The GT302 ARGB is available in either black or white. Unlike some competing white models, which use the same wires and cables as their black counterparts, the GT302 ARGB uses white cables for the case fans and front I/O so that you can enjoy a harmonious, unified look from the start of your build.

With either option, you’ll get flexibility with the looks of your PC thanks to the interchangeable side panels. One panel contains a tempered glass window, and the other contains mesh, and you can put them on whichever side of the chassis you wish.
