This case with LL120mm fans from Corsair keep everything insanely cool. my 4090 sits around 37-39c idle While gaming it sits around 45-47c. There’s honestly nothing to dislike about this case. Pros - mesh front, mesh back panel, can add multiple fans, crazy air flow, case has good build quality, can pretty much put in any gpu since you get 420mm of clearance, easy cable managing, you get the chance to put your psu in the back instead of having it sit under a shroud while being under your gpu. You can vertical mount Cons - literally 0 cons lol
@@supertrexandroidx for starters, the node pro is strictly for Corsair. which means to control rgb you need the software. But personally I turned my rgb off on all my peripherals since it affects mouse & keyboard polling rate smoothness. for controlling fan speeds, I have the fans connected to the Nzxt usb / rgb hub. The hub has 6 pwm channels that can house 3 fans per channel. it can not be more then 3 per channel on the usb / rgb hub since each channel has a saturation limit. Nzxt can use any fans Aslong as they are pwn fans. The term pwm = 4 pin connecter. none pwm = 3 pin connecter. Why is the term pwm & none pwm important ? because it indicates if you can manually tune the speed of the fan. the beauty of using Nzxt cam is that it has censors which can either be set for your cpu & gpu. personally I recommend using cpu for each fan sensor except the water pump. Reason being is because the water doesn’t need to be at full speed especially if you have quality thermal paste. because depending on how cold the coolant is within the aio cooler, it will drastically improve case temp, cpu & gpu temp.
@@silfrido1768 Heh, thanks for the in depth reply. I was looking at the fans you specifically mentioned and found a package being sold that includes three of the fans and a Corsair controller and hub, which is what I might go with if I choose that route. I would prefer to be able to control the RGB on the case, though, so I don't know. Maybe there's an adapter of some kind that could allow that to work with another controller. Honestly, all the RGB stuff is not my cup of tea (main personal computer is in a Fractal Meshify 2 XL, no RGB), so I've never had cause to look in to this kind of thing before, but this would be a build for a 14 year old, and he's not a die-hard competitive player, so I'm not too concerned by a small impact on the polling - at that age, today, the kids usually prioritize the bling, ha ha. Also, because I don't want to be in charge of maintaining too much, I'll be sticking to air cooling, which is the main reason I'm considering better fans, on top of a good heatsink.
@@CkCountry I had to get a cooler master vertical mount so that the gpu cable doesn’t get fried. all is well tho, I’ve had 0 issues with the case or my card. in terms of fans I have 10 fans in total within the case. 2 on the top, 3 on the bottom, 2 in the front, 2 in the back & 1 in the rear. i recommend switching out the fans to static pressure fans. air flow will be much better if you get better fans. the only downside is that it will cost you but it is worth it. I’ve had these fans for 2-3 years going strong now & I keep them clean.
@mikesunboxing I agree! One annoying thing is it seems a bit too rushed and totally "scripted". Other than that, no complaints, and Mike you know how I love to complain about everything!!! ps. Subscribed.
It is hard to please everyone, just do what suits you and your own style. I can’t read from scripts if my life depended on it. You seem to be doing a good job and long may it continue.
Your review are spot on and I have purchased a Montech King 95 Pro after watching this and several other reviews. Every reviewer loves the case for the money and no one had any additional issues whatsoever beyond the nitpicks ones you mentioned. I will say that your review was the most enjoyable, concise, and best paced. Not once did my mind wonder or get bored. So many reviewers go off on unrelated tangents or speak in a tone that literally puts a viewer to sleep. You are an excellent speaker and I have now liked and subscribed sir. Thank you for your time.
@@johnjoy6374 I'm glad you enjoyed it and I really appreciate comments like yours that are helpful and positive. You've made my morning! I hope you have a wonderful day and enjoy your case!
I also got one, the normal one without fans since I already have a ton of fans. It has good space in both chambers and a lot of installation options. The build it very solid. Great price too. It blows away typical mid-tower cases.
@@umeng2002 ah thank you for the reply! that's disappointing I was so hopeful it at least came with the fan hub/controller haha. I have enough solid good looking fans I can move into this case no issue, but that hub seems too convenient for quality of life. Not to mention the Montech fans they include are super nice too, and reversed in the right spots. Still a good deal but the non pro is on sale for only $80 rn so it's a steal at almost half the cost of the Pro. Hmm what to do
I just picked up this case today (Gentleman Black version) Absolutely love this look and feel of this case! I'm seriously thinking about laying this case on it's side and moving the feet. Many options and space to work in. Thanks Tech Hunter for the review. Cheers!
I love mine. Just put it together this week. The RGB hub/fans wont work with any RGB software I've found yet, but the case looks/performs amazing. It is a big case, a lot bigger than I was aware when purchasing, but that allows for amazing airflow/temps.
but I can't choose the fans in skytech, I also saw other videos that the sky two has an amazing airflow, so I don't know which one to choose.@@silfrido1768
just got this for my first pc build, decided to upgrade, im really excited, especially after seeing this video and getting some more peace of mind that the cabling and the fan rbg box is simpler than most cases. awesome video
Just did a build in this case. Love it. The pre wired fans is a big timesaver. And BTW the hinged back panel does pop off quite easily. You don`t need to remove the hinge screws. I`ve seen several reviews miss that. Highly recommended.
I bought mine in white! I love mine so much tbh can’t wait to build in it and glad that this case has one plug in for the power button which it isn’t a big deal, it makes it easier for building lol 😭😂
I love this case. I used it for my build. My only issue is that there’s a tiny space where the glass curves. Inbetween the front and side glass I don’t know if that’s an airflow decision but I’d rather there be no space at all. I don’t want tiny insects or dust getting in through there
Mine has no space what so ever. Obviously its a different piece of glass, so there is a visible line where the two panels meet, but nothing dust/bugs are going to get through. The curved part of the glass does distort the view through it, but I'm not sure it would be possible to keep the same viewing aspect through curved glass. I am very happy with mine. This was the first complex PC I've built and it was a breeze in this case.
Something relatively irritating about the case top panel, it’s secured pretty flimsy. It just snaps in loosely. And if you don’t use the included screws from the case, it does not sit flush with the arctic freezer III! Now I have to undo all the screws and put in the other ones, without the flat washers (can you even do that with the freezer? Don’t even wanna do it now) I’m also used to having cases have some sort of a screw securing the top of the case….. it’s odd it’s a cheap, plastic snap in that does not even work in my case. Sigh. Additionally that rubber inside the case where your cords go from the back to the motherboard in the front kept popping off on me. Almost ready to just leave it all off xD slightest of touch or cord poking it? Pops off. And the left glass panel also came scratched already. :L … despite these problems it is a good value for all the fans you get. Lian li I would’ve ended up spending a fortune for the 011D + fans + hub. And the montech’s controller came in handy as I needed the only 3 pin rgb header for the 7900XTX sapphire I used. Without the controller I’d have to leave a fan or the 7900’s rgb unhooked. Having all the cords, fans already pretty much managed is very nice. I wouldn’t buy it for a friends build though
ordered mine today in South Africa, out of all the options and even the Lian Li G99.O11VC.00 O11 Vision Chrome coming in october here. I settled on the King 95 Pro, its pure value for money especially with the 6 fans included and a solid case with everything i need (considering the Lian Li is slightly more expensive with No fans included, i'd have to spend a couple hundred bux for a bunch of fans). Coming from my Nvidia Haf-X edition case which i had for 13 to 14years now. it was time for an upgrade, something more modern and stylish with good airflow. Can't wait to build her up! Great review, this just confirmed my good choice!
Because it's a breath of fresh air with duel-chambers, considered Lian Li(that's been there, done that), H6(requires 2x140mm fans)great cooling tho, and then King 95 Pro, mesh or great fishbowl look, it just stood out to me and decided on the King 95 Pro Black, was a swap, but it turned out amazing :) GG
My main rig (built last spring) is a Montech Sky One Mini. Very roomy for a compact case and easy to build in. The 1st rig I build 7 years ago was also a Montech, the Flyer; smaller, a little harder to cable manage and a bit of a hot box due to restricted alrflow, also the side panel was acrylic, not TG. The Mini is a chimney style and runs much cooler.
I didnt even know they have been around that long. The King 95 Pro is the first time I've heard of them, but it is, to me, the best looking case I've ever saw.
honestly i love this case and i bought it for my first ever desctop build, with a 360mm AIO in the top for the cpu and it made my big fear of cable management dissapear the more i got into completing the build, a bit ov undervolting and custom fan curves and the hottest i seen my 7800xt run is 67c while being so quiet and comfortable
Remove that unnecessary HDD compartment and mount the psu in the upper space. It gives you even more empty space for neat cable management. That's especially useful for the non-pro version because it gives you a big flat rear plate to mount your own aRGB and fan splitters. You can manage your heavy cables to the left side and your fan and aRGB cables at the bottom. Also, that hinged rear cover can be easily removed during the build by just grabbing it at the upper right corner and yanking to the right, pulling the upper hinge out. You can easily replace it when you're done (reverse the procedure to snap it back in). But I couldn't think of a reason to replace it. Also, with the non-pro version you're provided an adapter cable that breaks out the front panel leads. It also separates the leads from that small button so that you can plug it onto the motherboard Reset pins and make that small button a Reset button.
nice review. Your tiny gap flaw may be just production variances, or perhaps the result of stamping the steel. I have always considered myself way too picky, but you may be even pickier than I. :)
Haha I appreciate it. This made me smile. I think for a review you need to be picky, I need to show as many flaws as possible to see if they outweigh the positives. No matter how minor they might be 😜
I built an all white build using the King 95 Pro, looking at it the all white components would look just as nice or maybe better in a Red or Blue case.
You will love it. Super easy to build/cable manage, and the performance is right there with its appearance. Build quality is top notch. People are talking about panel fit issues, mine has none. All panels fit great. The top panel did look flat, but kept popping up on one corner. Took it off and pushed on the middle of the panel to flatten it out, even though it looked fine, and it fits perfect now. Likely bumped around when being shipped.
Hi Mate, Great review, loving the channel, subscribed 🤙 I’m looking for a case to replace my Phanteks p600s with, due to its size, I’ve had it years and it performs great but it’s too big, I’m looking at a small atx case, I’ve come down to choose between the NZXT h6 flow, this case, the Qube 500 which the size is perfect but I can’t convince myself on the look of it :) and the Antec CX800 elite, which I really wanted as it’s tiny but fits an atx setup, but there is absolutely zero info on that case anywhere online :( Out of the 4 which would you recommend, my p600s is 52cm off the floor in height which is way to high, for comparison the Antec CX800 is just 38cm
I don't like default vs default fan config. You're comparing 4 fans vs 1 or 2 in most examples. But anyways, glad you mentioned the minimum fan speed being 700rpm. Thats a deal breaker for me. There is no reason to have fans at 700rpm on the desktop /browsing, that's a huge oversight.
@@insertnamehere4419 I'd personally say default vs default is the fairest way I could think of. I think if you test using the same fans in every system is another good option, as you can see the true difference between each case. But perhaps unrealistic and you're ignoring the fans that might come included etc. It's a tricky one, but that's why other reviewers exist ☺
In France this box is 188€ or 161 £ not 110£, it’s expensive. MUSETEC ATX Y6 pc case with 5 pwm argb is 107€ or 91£ it looks a lot liike it, il would like you to test, it to get your opinion, tant you in advance. Sorry for my English i’m French
I just built a sapphire pure white 7900 gre 78003dx, corsair vengeance c30 rgb ram system with this, all white build, with blue/white lighting, looks incredible
I have the Hyte Y60 but im eyeing this case because of that swinging fan panel. I have a suprim liquid 4090 and the 240mm rad takes the side fan panel on the y60. The swinging fan panel allows me to have the rad and two extra fans. I only have one issue. I want to get the Phanteks t30 fans but they're 120mm and these fans are 140mm. If I replace all the fans with 120mm will it fill out the case?
Do it bro…. I have the white strix & my idle temps are 35-37 While gaming it hovers around 45-47. My fans are - Corsair LL120mm I have 3 on the bottom. 2 in the front with the mesh panel front panel installed. 1 on the back & 2 on the top mounted on a radiator. I also have 2 fans on the back of the case. the amount of air that I get though the case is unreal. In order to get S tier cooling you need to take the stock fans out & put in high performance fans. I’m never upgrading cases again lol. So to answer your question this case can take up to 13 fans if you do push pull on the radiator. without push pull you’re looking at a total of 11 if you do 120mm fans.
The mesh panel is for cpu air cooling, of course it doesn't do much for an aio setup. Would have been interesting to see temps in that configuration. I assume similar or better gains than the GPU.
Great video, I'm just wondering is the top and back panels "filters" just metal mesh or is it actually a dust filter?? Like fine filter material such as what's used on the bottom. I can't find conclusive evidence on this anywhere, but if they are real dust filters getting this case would be a no-brainer for me, too much dust from animals lol. Would greatly appreciate a reply! Thanks!
@@TechHunterOfficial AWESOME! I suspected as much when looking over your video carefully along with others, so thanks for confirming. While you're here I have 1 more question to help me decide on pro version of the case or not, do you know if the normal non Pro also comes with the fan hub?? I know the pro comes with all the fans but can't find definitive answers on the fanhub itself
@@TechHunterOfficial thank you for confirming. Im probably going to just order the non pro but hope I don't regret missing out on the fan hub for cable managing etc. and I'll go with black model, not feeling too adventurous but I think it should look good contrasted with some light white themed RGB
I built an all white build in this case. It looks amazing, but choosing all white parts really limited the value/ selection of parts. I went with the MSI Z790 Pro Max WIFI motherboard. It does have a black PCB, but silver heatsinks. The black contrast looks really nice with the all white case/components though. The all white motherboards really ran the price up, NZXT has an amazing looking white motherboard, but it was over $300. I tired to keep the whole build to around $1500, and a $300 motherboard just wasn't in the cards.
Hi there... Hope you're well.. I just bought this case and watching your video... Thank you.. And please can you tell me if they have protective pelicule inside the glass? Cause I see a little and very thin protection. Must I remove? Outside I removed.. But I guess there is also on the inside of the 2 tempered glass.. Can you please confirm that to me? Thank you..
I say this because I am interested in knowing the temperature reached with that equipment, since it calls itself a high-gamma PC case.@@TechHunterOfficial
I have question have I plan to buy this one but my Asus tuf 7900xtx oc my sag from gpu wont work becouse there is down of gpu 3 fans so I must buy vertical mount for gpu?
I love this case but I was wondering what if my gpu sags I wouldn’t be able to put a anti sag bracket due to the fans how would I be able to prevent the sag
@@TechHunterOfficial I guess I could try later. tg pretty useless for me though, since I always put my case on left side under the table lol. but yeah, will probably try to use it soon.
The two mentioned above I can get with fans around my area, thou it is nice looking. My current setup has airflow problems that's why I'm mainly considering based on that... Quick question: if my cpu IO is designed for plug and play will it matter if I put it top as exhaust instead of front intake? @@TechHunterOfficial
Also the Montech Air 903 Max is a really great value option, I've got a sample in for review soon - £60 with 3x 140mm and 1x 120mm fans. Tbh It doesn't really make too much difference which way round you go, exhausting out the top is generally a little better for temps and it looks cleaner I feel.
Ahh choices! My DeepCool LS520 Premium only has 2 fans and I've never tested it as exhaust so their being an empty spot at the top is quite unsettling. I looked at the Montech Air 903 I feel the other has more custom options perhaps.@@TechHunterOfficial
I think the 903 is a great bang for buck option. But if you want something a little more premium check out my Corsair 4000D / Antec P20C reviews. At the right price they're great cases too.
Shame they ruined it with one panel lighting up due to LED light placement, and the plastic front plate which tries to mimic brushed metal. They were so close to perfecting it.
@@TechHunterOfficial For sure. Especially with the mesh panel. I'd hope they go away from all the "curved" bits here and there (with the exception of the curved glass panel) and stick with something more angular, kind of like their Sky Two and metal 120 fans.
@@Henrique-wv9xq No. There are differences in design. Simply asking for something more along the lines of their Sky Two with curved glass and mesh panel, does not beget an 011 case. Montech did some unique things with this one, just a few things seem off.
