Aesthetics:
Absolutely beautiful! The crystal clear design enhances the overall colour of the RBG immensely. The bracket itself is just as beautiful. We have the True Gaming brand caption on the bracket accompanied by the MSI dragon… Both of these were laser carved into the bolster. They are very detailed and enhances the visuals of the bolster. The RGB here further enhances these details by casting unique lighting on them.
A Plain clear piece of plastic would not have looked as appealing here. The mounting holes at the top are there to ensure support for a wide variety of graphics cards, however, they also serve by making the bolster look more detailed visually appealing.
Durability:
Even though the Atlas has a weight limit, it is still quite sturdy in its own right! The bolster’s Transparent Acrylic Body is nice and thick to ensure stability and appropriate support. The bolsters get fitted to your Chassis itself with three screws, ensuring a stable fit. The entire section where the screws are fitted is covered by a rubber sleeve to protect the bolsters body from scratching.
This sleeve also protects the JRainbow Connecter.
User Friendly & Functionality:
Installation is rather simple, to be honest. Ensuring that your PC is turned off, you can fit and install the bolster with your Tower in its upright position or lay it down on its side. It is almost as easy as plug and play, to be honest. Carefully unbox your components and remove the plastic protection from your bolster and adjustment bracket.
There are two screw sizes, of which there are three and two of. The Three screws are used to fit your bolster to your chassis, and the other two are used with the adjustment bracket to adjust the hight requirement for your specific card.
The JRainbow connector syncs up with Mystic Light for easy colour management.
MGR Gaming’s Conclusions:
A rather simple but brilliant design. It’s gorgeous to look at and it does the job beautifully. Sure, it is rather sizeable compared to others out there. However, you will buy what works for you, or what will look best with your current set up. If you are running a sizeable tower that means you have ample space for it, and the addition of this bolster will thoroughly enhance that build. Much more so than a smaller variant.
The RGB…, well the RGB just adds flair to it, and that is quite alright. RGB plays a vital role these days in our setups. The Atlas is rather pricey, but that is easily justifiable to its size and extras.
The wide range of Graphics Card support is quite amazing, and the weight class as well. So, at the end of the day, this beauty is more than worth its price tag!
The only real issue I found with it. The short cable it has. Given that the only place I could connect the Atlas to in my setup was at the top of my board. This meant running it through the back of my PC and then looping it back in at the top. The cable falls way short of that capability. Given that this bolster works well with larger builds, it makes sense that for cable management purposes the cable should have been longer. Fortunately, I had a spare cable I could use as an extension to fit the Atlas.
Other than that, it is a perfect addition to your setup!
