The ROG Cronox targets enthusiasts building large, showcase-focused systems. Its aluminium-trimmed frame and curved tempered-glass panel provide a panoramic view of the hardware, while a rotatable side fan bracket allows builders to adjust intake airflow toward specific components.
A hinged display for customization
The case’s integrated 9.2-inch LCD operates at 60 Hz and pivots outward on a hinge, allowing users to adjust its viewing angle. It can show ROG animations, custom images, a digital clock, notifications, or live hardware information.
For monitoring, the display can present CPU, GPU, memory, and chassis-fan data. A theme editor also allows users to combine system information with customized backgrounds. ASUS says the clock can remain visible even when the PC is powered off, adding a decorative function beyond typical monitoring panels.
Built for high-end cooling
The Cronox supports up to two 360 mm radiators, giving builders flexibility for large all-in-one liquid coolers or custom-loop configurations. It also includes a rotatable side fan bracket and multiple pre-installed fans, including three reverse-blade units and a standard rear exhaust fan.
The case supports graphics cards up to 400 mm long and CPU coolers up to 180 mm high. A patented graphics card slot clamp is designed to help secure large cards, including high-end GeForce RTX 5090-class hardware. ASUS also lists compatibility with its AIO Q-Connector system for simplifying cooler and fan installation.
Eurux fans add airflow and lighting
The Cronox is bundled with four ROG Eurux GR120 ARGB fans and an ROG Strix XIN120 ARGB lighting panel. The 120 mm fans use liquid-crystal polymer blades, reach up to 2,600 rpm, and are rated for up to 85 CFM of airflow and 4.5 mm H2O of static pressure. Maximum noise is listed at 33 dBA.
The fans feature three addressable lighting zones and patented daisy-chain connectors intended to reduce cable clutter. Reverse-blade versions are also available, while the three-pack includes a hub supporting up to 14 fans and incorporates an electrical fuse.

The ROG Cronox ARGB is currently available in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland in black or white for a recommended €499.90 or CHF 499.90, including VAT. Individual Eurux GR120 fans cost €29.90, while three-packs are priced at €99.90. Both standard and reverse-blade models are offered in black and white.
