ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) has officially lifted the curtain on the ROG Strix Helios II, a mid-tower gaming chassis built to turn heads and keep high-end rigs running cool under fire. Packed with premium materials, smart cable management, and cooling muscle, the Helios II is aimed squarely at gamers who want a showpiece case without sacrificing performance or convenience.
The new chassis supports graphics cards up to 450 mm long, EATX motherboards, and radiators as large as 420 mm. Out of the box, it ships with four high-performance 140 × 28 mm fans, three in the front and one in the rear, designed to maximize airflow while keeping noise levels in check. The case’s tempered glass side panels make sure that every RGB glow and custom loop detail gets its moment in the spotlight.
ROG Strix Helios II Premium Build Meets Bold Aesthetic
Available in black or white, the ROG Strix Helios II sports a diamond-grille aluminum front panel paired with a noise-reducing 3D-structured filter. The pattern doesn’t just look sharp—it also pulls in a steady stream of fresh air. The ROG logo is embossed front and center, reinforcing the case’s gamer pedigree.
Those chasing a color-coordinated build can match the white edition with ASUS’s GeForce RTX 50 Series White Edition GPUs, ensuring a unified look inside and out. The tempered glass sides swing open easily, letting builders get to their components without breaking a sweat.
Cooling Power Without the Racket
ASUS equips the Helios II with extra-thick 28 mm-frame fans, which push serious air volume at lower RPMs compared to standard case fans. This means you can keep thermals in check without turning your gaming room into a wind tunnel. For liquid-cooling fans, the chassis offers dual 360 mm radiator support at the top and front, plus 420 mm support up front for ultra-quiet, high-capacity setups.
Pair it with an ROG Astral LC GeForce RTX™ 5090 and ROG Ryuo IV SLC 360 ARGB AIO cooler, and you’ve got the bones of a top-shelf, whisper-quiet powerhouse.

ROG Strix Helios II Built for DIYers Who Don’t Want the Headache
From its one-key-release side panel system to a patented tool-free PCIe® mount, the Helios II is designed with builders in mind. A rear detachable PSU bracket makes swapping or installing power supplies straightforward, while the 33 mm of cable routing space and included covers keep builds neat as a pin.
The integrated ARGB and fan controller handles up to six ARGB components and six PWM fans, giving users a one-stop hub for lighting and cooling adjustments. With these features, even first-time builders can avoid the rat’s nest of wires that plagues less organized setups.
ROG Strix Helios II Everyday Quality-of-Life Features
Front-panel connectivity on the Helios II is stacked: four USB 3.0 Type-A ports, two USB 20 Gbps Type-C® ports with 60W fast-charging, and a headphone/mic combo jack. Dedicated power, reset, and LED control buttons make operation a breeze.
One standout touch is the dual X-shaped fabric straps woven into the top. These aren’t just for looks—they make it simple to lug the hefty case (18 kg bare) to a LAN party or move it around during a room re-do. It’s a small touch, but one that shows ASUS is thinking about real-world usability.
ROG Strix Helios II Designed to Be the Centerpiece
In the PC case market, there’s no shortage of options, but the Helios II is clearly gunning to be the centerpiece of a high-end battlestation. Between its airflow engineering, DIY-friendly design, and premium finish, it’s built to serve both competitive gamers who can’t afford to lose a frame and hobbyists who want their build to be as clean as it is powerful.
For ROG, the Helios II is more than just another product launch—it’s a statement that form and function can walk hand-in-hand. It’s a case for gamers who want to “go big or go home,” but still expect the assembly process to be smooth and the end result to be easy to live with day to day.
Bottom line? The ROG Strix Helios II isn’t just a box for parts—it’s a carefully engineered home for top-tier hardware, built to keep your system cool, your cables hidden, and your setup looking like it belongs on the cover of a PC modding magazine. For those looking to level up their rig without breaking a sweat, ASUS just set a new bar for what a premium mid-tower case should be.
