ASUS ROG Strix Helios II GX601S is a flagship EATX mid‑tower built to showcase high‑end gaming rigs with premium materials, strong airflow, and generous hardware support. It combines dual tempered‑glass panels, an aluminum diamond‑grille front, and integrated ARGB lighting to deliver both performance and aesthetics in one chassis.
Design and aesthetics
The case features dual smoked tempered‑glass side panels and a refined aluminum frame that highlight internal components and RGB setups. A diamond‑pattern grille with a 3D‑structured front filter gives it a bold ROG look while helping smooth and quiet airflow.
Cooling and airflow
Helios II GX601S comes with four pre‑installed 140 mm performance fans that provide strong out‑of‑the‑box airflow for high‑wattage CPUs and GPUs. It supports advanced liquid cooling, with radiator space up to 420 mm at the front and 360 mm at the top, plus dedicated room for pumps and reservoirs in custom loops.
Hardware and expansion
The chassis supports motherboards up to EATX, graphics cards up to around 450 mm in length, and multiple 2.5‑inch and 3.5‑inch drive bays for ample storage. DIY‑friendly touches such as a GPU support/clamp, rear detachable PSU bracket, and smart internal layout make building and upgrading easier.
I/O and usability
On the front I/O, the case offers two USB 20 Gbps Type‑C ports with support for up to 60 W fast charging (where compatible), alongside multiple USB‑A ports and dedicated ARGB and fan‑speed control buttons. Comfortable X‑shaped woven carrying straps, tested to support heavy builds, let users safely transport their system to LANs or events.
