CoolerMaster Elite 681 Case - Black

The CoolerMaster Elite 681 is a middle tower case in a clean black color, aimed at stable mid-range and more serious gaming and work configurations. It fits standard ATX and mATX motherboards, has a total of 7 expansion slots, and provides enough space for a serious GPU and good ventilation. It does not come with a built-in power supply unit, so you are free to choose a PSU according to your system. With 4 included fans, extensive water cooling support, and an ARGB Hub, the case is ready for good airflow and a clean look.

What you get

The interior is oriented towards gaming and enthusiast builds – it supports a CPU cooler up to 170 mm, which opens up options for taller tower air coolers. For water cooling, the top panel allows radiators of 120/240/280/360 mm, meaning you can comfortably plan for a powerful CPU without worrying about where to fit the AIO. PSU support up to 200 mm gives you freedom for a higher-quality and longer power supply, without it colliding with cables or bays. Disk space is solved with 2 x 3.5" and 2 x 2.5" bays – enough for a combination of fast NVMe/SSD plus a spacious HDD for games, media, and projects. With a built-in ARGB Hub and a front panel with 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 and HD Audio, you have both fast front ports and easy control over fan and strip lighting.

• Classic middle tower format, which balances size, airflow, and space for components well.
• Compatibility with ATX and mATX motherboards, covering the most popular gaming and workstation configurations.
• 7 expansion slots, so you can use long GPUs plus additional cards (sound, capture, network) without being limited.
• 4 included fans, which provide good basic cooling right from the first start, without needing to buy additional fans immediately.
• Extensive fan support: top panel 3 x 120 / 2 x 140 mm and front panel 3 x 120 / 140 mm for serious airflow with powerful components.
• Water cooling support on the top panel up to 360 mm, allowing you to install a large radiator for quiet and efficient operation under load.
• Built-in ARGB Hub and front 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 + HD Audio, so you get both fast ports and easy management of RGB lighting.
• Supported power supply unit up to 200 mm, giving you the freedom to choose a more powerful and quality PSU without compromising on installation.

Who it is suitable for

This case is suitable for gamers and enthusiasts who want an ATX or mATX build with good cooling, RGB capabilities, and enough space for serious hardware. It is suitable for both 1080p/1440p gaming configurations and for heavier work with a loaded CPU, where water cooling and multiple fans make sense. If you are looking for a maximally compact or super minimalist case, the form factor and ARGB-oriented approach may not be exactly your thing.

The combination of 4 included fans, options for a large radiator up to 360 mm on top, and ATX compatibility makes the CoolerMaster Elite 681 a very sensible base for a stable and well-cooled build, without unnecessary compromises.
