Description
Compact, Capable, and ARGB-Ready
High in value and attention to detail, the Cooler Master Elite 301 offers a cost-effective, space-conscious solution to gaming and computing needs. It punches well above its price bracket with three pre-installed ARGB fans, a tempered glass window, and a build-friendly interior — all in a compact Micro-ATX footprint.
Unrestricted Airflow by Design
The large intake grill at the front is constructed for substantially unrestricted airflow, and the front panel can be removed via magnets for easy daily maintenance. Pre-installed 3x 120mm ARGB fans provide considerable airflow straight out of the box and add a layer of style to the system — no additional fan purchase required to get started.
Versatile Cooling Support
The Elite 301 supports up to six fans and a 280mm radiator, ensuring thermal performance is never compromised as your build grows. Whether you’re running a budget air-cooled setup or stepping up to an AIO liquid cooler, the case has you covered.
Big GPU Support in a Small Footprint
Despite its compact size, the Elite 301 accommodates GPUs up to 365mm in length — compatible with cards as powerful as the RTX 5080 and RX 9070 XT — alongside CPU coolers up to 163.5mm tall. Future upgrade potential is firmly intact.
Thoughtful Details Throughout
The ventilated PSU cover allows actively cooled units to be installed in multiple orientations while maintaining support for passively cooled power supplies. A USB Type-C port on the front I/O panel adds modern connectivity within easy reach.
⚠️ Note from community feedback: Some users have reported that the included fans are non-PWM despite marketing material suggesting otherwise. Fan speed control may therefore require a dedicated fan controller or be limited to your motherboard’s DC fan headers.
⚠️ Note: This case does not include a power supply. A separate PSU is required to complete your build.
