Thermaltake View 300 MX Mid Tower Case Review

Complete System

The Thermaltake View 300 MX looks amazing, and all that extra space in there made installing all of my hardware a pretty low-effort affair. I was a bit startled to realise the PSU shroud needs to be removed to install the PSU, but really, it only added five minutes to the build time once I worked out where all the bloody screws are.

The shroud does do its job really well though, and while I can still see the PSU itself, all the cable gore is neatly hidden out of sight.

The GPU was an easy task, and with the massive RTX 4000 series cards now out in the wild, I’m happy to say they’ll all fit with ease here. There’s plenty of width to spare too, so you shouldn’t need to stress those pesky GPU power cables here. While the vertical GPU riser cable isn’t included, they’re not overly expensive, and the bracket here will support mounting one; handy given how heavy the new cards are.

CPU cooler clearance is sublime, with pretty much all large and popular air coolers fitting with ease. Plus, if you’re rocking a liquid-cooled system, there’s a huge amount of clearance in the top, so thicker radiators should not pose a threat.

The front fans deliver lots of airflow at low RPM, and they’re really quiet too, which is great. While you can use the right side panel mount too, I don’t think many people will, as it’ll conflict with GPU sizes, and the front intake, top mount and rear mount are sufficient, but also aided by the mesh design of the bottom of the case, that allows cool air to be pulled in passively too.

If you do need a big radiator in the front, these drive bays have to be moved out of the case, but really, how many of you are still using 3.5″ drives anyway?

One thing you cannot ignore is how colourful the case interior is. Those 200mm fans have a lot of LEDs and put out fairly significant amount of light. Thankfully, it’s mostly directed into the case, lighting up your hardware, not so much your room, which I appreciate.

The glass looks stunning, but honestly, the custom metal with the Thermaltake “T” airflow design is legit my favourite, it’s got great airflow, looks presentable, and still shows off enough colour of the fans to be fun too.

The built-in fan hub and RGB controller is great too, just tap the button and you can customise that to your liking. You can hook up the RGB header to compatible motherboards or RGB controllers if you desire.

Overall, a chunky beast, but one that’s very easy to live with and brimming with practical features that’ll help you deal with the larger and hotter gaming hardware we’re seeing in the back half of 2022.
