ASUS ROG Hyperion GR701, Glasfenster

Mit dem neuen Modell wird das bisherige ROG-Gehäuseflaggschiff ROG Strix Helios abgelöst. Schon dieses Modell war ein ganz eigenständig gestaltetes Oberklassegehäuse. Das ROG Hyperion GR701 soll nun aber klar in einer höheren Kategorie spielen. Das riesige und 21 kg schwere E-ATX-Gehäuse richtet sich klar an Enthusiasten.

ASUS ROG Hyperion chassis is a product that is in an entirely different category than most other PC cases. The Hyperion GR701 is a case that in many ways is similar to Cooler Master's iconic Cosmos series, with the Hyperion also being a well manufactured, well though out enclosure that has a massive scale and supports the largest components on the PC market. Like the Cosmos, the Hyperion is also an incredibly expensive PC case, with Scan UK currently pricing the case at £399.99. This is not a case for PC builders with tight budgets, its for ultra-enthusiasts who have the money to spend on ultra high-end systems.

The ASUS ROG Hyperion GR701 is an upper-tier computer case presenting various commendable features. However, its power supply installation process is rather intricate, necessitating the disassembly of the shrouds. Although this may be a minor inconvenience, it's an aspect that could be improved upon. The ROG Hyperion showcases its aptitude for luxury casings with its capacity for extensive liquid-cooling systems and an expanded USB 3.2 port capacity, which doubles the standard norm, making it a fitting choice for builders aiming for a high-grade system display. Its performance metrics are comparable to those of its competitors, but the Hyperion does stand out due to its substantial size. It's important to consider that those contemplating a case of this scale might also be looking at complex cooling solutions, which would generate a different performance scenario than our test conditions. Hence, our performance evaluations should be interpreted with a degree of scepticism. The sizable impact of the Hyperion is matched by its substantial cost, but for those seeking to stake a claim in a unique market segment, it might be seen as a justifiable expense. The ROG Hyperion, with its abundant features such as increased cooling capabilities, spacious design, ergonomic layout, plentiful power, and distinctive style, is undoubtedly a cut above the average. These additional features synergize well with the diverse hardware configuration options, making this case an option for various builders. However, while the ROG Hyperion excels in performance and style, it's paramount to consider its premium price point and potential complexities before making a final decision. It's a top pick, albeit a hugely pricy product.
