Asus ROG Strix Helios Case, release date?

AStaley · 13 Jun 2019 at 14:34

With the upcoming release of AMD's Ryzen 3000 CPU's I'm starting to think about building a new PC and fancy doing one based on a ROG theme, to that end I like the look of the ROG Strix Helios case. Has anyone come across when it will be released in the UK?

I am waiting for it myself for awhile now, the last piece I need. I asked OCUK, but they only said : soon.

Currently you can have one imported from Germany or Austria, there's seem to be few of them there.

There's some resellers working on online auction site that I won't name, but they charge more than 50 gbp on top. When it finally comes to UK it should be 240-250 range.

I can confirm, I have some ordered. Only a limited quantity to begin with though. But, it is coming!
Expect the "Pre-Order" listing to go up within a few days (Either tomorrow or Monday)

Awesome, cheers !

Like the look of your build with the Helios case it will look awesome. Exactly what I'm going for, but I want the Ryjin AIO and Trident Z RAM.

Great news, I'll keep my eyes open for the pre-order.

For me the Ryujin with 360mm rad looks better.

Just waiting for UK Stock to Land - Don't worry, i'm chasing ASUS every day for these! Stock is on the way!

Update from ASUS - UK Stock for the Helios Lands Mid to End of July. A third of my initial allocation is already Pre-Ordered.
If you want one of these cases on release I highly recommend Pre-Ordering to avoid disappointment.

AStaley · 4 Jul 2019 at 11:15

Ordered the case. I'll keep my fingers crossed that a batch comes in earlier than expected, have to put the rest of my build on hold until it does.

The only official word I can get out of ASUS is Mid to End of July, but that doesn't mean i'm leaving them alone

Offer them a greater incentive, more Haribo.

Got my case yesterday and have started fitting PSU/motherboard. It's massive, but does look brilliant in the flesh. Manual isn't the best, but not to difficult to figure out which screws need releasing to remove shroud etc. Also it's not to bulky, heavy but otherwise all good.
