Datorchassi Cooler Master Elite 502 Midi Tower svart

The Cooler Master Elite 502 Midi Tower is a black steel PC case designed for efficient cooling and flexible builds. It includes a mesh front panel and three pre-installed 120mm ARGB fans, supports back-connected motherboard layouts, and accommodates up to a 420mm front radiator, 410mm graphics cards and a 170mm CPU cooler. The case fits ATX, EATX, Micro ATX and ITX motherboards and offers removable HDD storage to simplify assembly and upgrades.

Advantages

The Elite 502 provides optimized airflow through its mesh front and three included 120mm ARGB fans while keeping cable routing easier thanks to support for back-connected motherboards and 33–35mm of space behind the motherboard tray. With support for large radiators and long GPUs, the case balances thermal performance and upgradeability, and the I/O panel includes a USB Type‑C port for convenient modern connectivity.

Suitable for

• Mid- to entry-level gaming PC builds
• Systems requiring strong airflow and radiator support (up to 420mm front, 360mm top)
• Builds with long GPUs (up to 410mm) or tall air coolers (up to 170mm)
• Users who prefer easier cable management via back-connected motherboards

How to use

Install the chosen ATX, EATX, Micro ATX or ITX motherboard using the standoffs provided, route cables through the rear area using the 33–35mm clearance behind the tray, and mount storage in the removable HDD cage or 2.5" brackets. Fit GPUs up to 410mm and CPU coolers up to 170mm. For water cooling, install a front radiator up to 420mm or a top radiator up to 360mm; ensure fans and radiator orientation follow the cooling plan for intake and exhaust. Connect front-panel USB Type‑C and USB Type‑A to the corresponding motherboard headers during final assembly.

Recommendations

For optimal airflow, keep the mesh front unobstructed, use front fans as intake and top/rear fans as exhaust, and consider removing the HDD cage if it interferes with long GPUs or radiator placement. Regularly clean the dust filters to maintain cooling performance.
