MSI GUNGNIR 100 Mid-Tower PC Case Review

Complete System

Building a system inside this case was an absolute breeze. There is simply loads of space on the interior and even our RTX 2080 Ti barely filled the length of it.

The cable routing is pretty fantastic, especially since there are loads of cable routing grommets. It’s a shame that there isn’t a vertical pass-through to the GPU, but it’s hardly a deal-breaker. There is plenty of space here for a multi-GPU setup too, if you fancy it.

Cooling

There’s certainly no issue with cooling support here. We already know the case can handle some massive radiators. There’s loads of clearance to fit a bit radiator in the top, and on the full height of the front panel too. However, I love my air coolers, and the massive Noctua NH-D15S fits with room to spare.

Plus, with the 120mm exhaust fan, you can shift heat easily enough. The mount even supports a 140mm fan if you desire, or a radiator/AIO.

Grommets

The cable routing is pretty tight on the right side too. Plus, the grommets are angled ever so slightly towards the motherboard, making it easy to get the cable angles.

Clearance

Seriously, this is a pretty big case for a mid-tower. However, it certainly doesn’t look or feel oversized at all. The use of space in the front panel to hide the fans is really clever, albeit not an original idea. It also frees up even more space for the radiator on the case interior.

Of course, the biggest benefit is the huge wall of air coming through the case, which will ensure your hardware stays nice and cool.

RGB Swagger

The RGB hub is hooked up to the rear fan, the top of the front panel, and this slick under lighting. It’s all addressable and can be paired up to your motherboard. However, if you don’t have ARGB on your motherboard, you can use the RGB control button on the front of the case.

Plus, with it all synced up, you can get cool effects, and have all the lights match. Or have them unmatched, if that’s what you really want. Yes, you can also turn them off too.

Tempered Glass

With all the panels back in place and my cup of tea at the ready, I can enjoy the GUNGNIR in all its glory.

The tempered glass is quite heavily tinted, but as I said before, It will let the RGB shine through rather nicely. I love it!
