MSI MAG GUNGNIR 300R Airflow Gaming Case Review

Complete System

Since on the last page, I said there was plenty of room for a PSU, you can see I’ve installed this gorgeous MSI MPG A1000G PSU (review here), and there’s loads of space to deal with cables behind it, which is great for keeping cable routing looking neat and tidy.

The interior of this case looks amazing, and I wish I had a set of all-white hardware to really do it justice, but at the same time, the black hardware in the white case does give a striking contrast. Plus, with all the RGB from the fans, the interior of the case is rarely white, but a flood of beautiful rainbow colours.

The GPU support arm looks epic, obviously completely over-designed, way taller than it needs to be and with at least one more ARGB-lit dragon than it needs. But do I care? Hell no, it looks freaking epic!

CPU cooler clearance is superb, with any of the biggest air coolers on the market comfortably supported.

I’m even more impressed with the amount of clearance above the motherboard, as you’ll be able to get a nice radiator and fan combo into the top of the case without conflicting with your motherboard.

One thing many cases are missing, for some reason, is a vertical cable pass-through for the GPU, thankfully not here though, and I’m able to route cables to the GPU power connectors easily and cleanly.

The ARGB thrills are plentiful in this case, and easily one of its most dominant features. The fans are bright, the colours are vibrant, and with the button on the front panel, you can cycle colours and effects without the use of software. However, you can sync it to your motherboard too if you so desire.

Cable routing throughout the case is excellent, with plenty of cut-outs on all sides of the motherboard, and the large cable cover on the right makes light work of the bulkier 24-pin cable.

With the glass back in place, showing off your hardware is very easy, as the glass is crystal clear and allows you to see all the components and light show easily. However, the downside of this is that the case feels a bit like a lamp as it throws a lot of light out into the room and could be distracting. Of course, you can turn the lights off or turn them down at night too, but it’s something to consider.
