Best PC Case of 2022! Montech Sky Two Review

[@balfit]

I built a Meshify 2 and not being a fan of glass and RGB I don’t regret it. However, this is indeed a stylish PC case, I have to admit that. Thanks for the video CJ!😊

[@銀河光芒]

I chose this case for my first PC build. This is because the fan's light is modest and not dazzling. I chose the MSI B650 Tomahawk and like you, the USB connector ended up touching the case. When I tried to forcefully connect it straight,, it almost broke, so I ended up purchasing an adapter from Amazon to convert the connector to a right-angle one. The long, detoured connection method looked bad, so I'm happy to be able to hide the wiring behind. I didn't have any issues with the fan hub. B650 Tomahawk defaults to DC control, so I was a bit worried at first, but then I selected PWM and it worked. To be honest, the cabling at the back was quite cramped, so if you have the space and the budget, you might be better off choosing the KING 95. I wanted a square case so overall I'm very satisfied. I installed two fans at the bottom and two at the top, but the one above the power supply blows out a little warm air, so I think one at the bottom will be enough. Only one of the top ones near the rear is functional, so there is no need to install two. 7×AX & RX are very beautiful, so I highly recommend them to anyone who enjoys the look. We recommend aligning the fan cables so that the LED colors match as well. thx!

I got this case recently from my local microcenter - and while I like the looks/the accessibility I also have the issue with the fan hub and the fans running at max speed. Montech needs to fix this asap! There is a reddit post I found and they recently said they will fix it... but this should have been properly tested/fixed before it hit the shelves. Other youtube reviews also mention the issue

[@BorisZX6R]

check the other reviews... kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5u7q5dofJKqb7s kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGmWe6evhM5jmrs kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKvSk42EdpaKZpI kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5C9pWquidqba80

[@BorisZX6R]

@Marie Cabinos it has nothing to do with the slots. Some of the reviewers even mentioned that montech will fix the issue before it hits the store shelves but that wasn't the case. I got a replacement fan control board from them.

[@guillermohernandez7393]

Going to be buying this case for my first build. Any recommendations or tips for when I build it?

[@germainederandamie40]

I did get the white version of this case for my build. But the cables barely fit inside the case. I will have to redo it and see if it gets any better. Also dont get this if you want the case inside some furniture. You need to cut holes for the 2 side fans but also the bottom fan is taking in fresh air from the sides. Where i have it now the bottom fan isnt sucking in cool air but air from the psu. kinda running hot my 7900xtx. I will put it somewhere else soon before stressing it hard. But other than that the case is beautiful in white and open frontside. 7800X3d 7900xtx 32 gb Gskill 6000 30 2x 2 nvmssd 2tb 8tb hdd b650 tomahawk mb

[@bryans8656]

I like the case, and that's a really clean build. Nice work.

[@MarcoGPUtuber]

Damn. I should've gotten this for my blue motherboard.

[@TheRealFenwick]

I NEED THOSE FANS

[@Karma_HealerDealer]

My MB only has an RGB header. Should I get an ARGB adapter or does the HUB take care of this? Thanks for the video.

[@feferocket-tw1yr]

nice video, do you recommend exhaust or intake fans at the top and how many?

[@ElevatedSystems]

2 exaust.

[@nabara6949]

Nice concept. My only complains about this case are the inability to mount 3 fans on top of psu shrouds (since I don't use 3.5" HDD anyway) and the bezel around the glass that seems too thick. Anyway what about the fan on the top of psu tho? due to its position, I'd assume it has a hard time pulling air around the psu. Thanks for the video and keep up the good work!

[@ElevatedSystems]

The fan is positioned forward of the PSU and actually pulls a lot of air thanks to the lower mesh side panels. There is a place for a second fan behind it but that one will sit on top of the PSU.

[@LukeJukeDuke]

Since you mentioned that the fan/argb hub can be connected to the cases reset botton, can you tell or show the different color and lighting options? Im just really curious.

[@MrSamadolfo]

😒👍 cool, this just arrived at Microcenter, looks like a clone of the Lian Li 011 Fish Tank design, and now the Hyte Y60 and NZXT H9 Elite. Thats interesting about the reverse fan blades I never heard of such a thing before. Thanks for the headsup on the hub. Would be nice if they had a smaller mATX case for smaller motherboards.

[@planaproject]

Im thinking of getting this case, coming from an phanteks enthoo 719 with a custom loop. This will be a challenge to put in my components. And ive got some ideas 😎

[@iii_Yeetus]

What mm thumbscrews does it take?

[@engleelim2508]

Nothing personal but every time you say Montech, it sounded like Montak, which sounded funny to me...😆

[@JayzBeerz]

Can you buy the same exact fans that come in the case?

[@genericstospecifics1856]

Yes

[@robertclanin3148]

Nice Case, Thank You

[@im3sixty]

Cool case, the color is not one that I would go for but as far as functionality it’s nice.

[@markjones7109]

Great review. This case also comes in orange.

[@gamechase5307]

White, black or blue. You might be thinking of the Fractal Pop Air.

[@ThePrime-official]

Does the fan hub have room for one or two extra fans

[@genericstospecifics1856]

Yes 2 extra slots

[@TheGrimReaper070]

how to control the rgb fans on the case? is there any software to do it? i know there's a button but the modes are very limited

[@IMastexI]

Use any rgb software. It's Argb

[@malceum]

I wish it were a few millimeters wider for a big CPU cooler. For watercooling, this case looks amazing. The best of O11 and Lancool.

[@MrIeatwabbits]

Why? Its able to fit up to a 168mm height CPU cooler already. One of the largest one the market currently is the NH-D15 and that's only at 165mm height

[@sneakycactus8815]

@@MrIeatwabbits he said wide tho

[@MrIeatwabbits]

@@sneakycactus8815 There shouldn't be any issue with that either. The video shows a Scythe cooler palced perfect fine with quite a bit of space left for larger air coolers

[@henrydrago]

That blue color make the case looks like plastic, bht it's a good concept

[@Luca-ij2xe]

the 3 fans that "seem" to enter (2 on the side and 1 below) have the frame outside so the air comes out instead of entering or am I wrong? since the rear fan has the frame outside so it blows out air

[@Xander1Sheridan]

as he mentioned the fans are reversed, so they look like that but they are all intake fans. Basically they didn't want you to see the ugly parts of the fans.

[@Reflec999]

Srsly did u watch for even 10 seconds?

[@bacon.cheesecake]

Why did you complain about the positive pressure? positive pressure is good for reducing dust

[@ElevatedSystems]

I didn't complain about it, I just mentioned it. Also if the pressure in the case is too positive, lower static pressure case fans can start to bog down. Straining fans like that will reduce their lifespan.

[@bacon.cheesecake]

@@ElevatedSystems You did talk about balancing it like that was a good thing, but balanced usually results in negative pressure because of filters.

[@SIGNALacquired]

So is this better than the Lian Li LANCOOL III ?

[@ElevatedSystems]

Different, not nessasaraly better. It's like a merging of the lancool and PC-011 but much less expensive than both.

[@SIGNALacquired]

@@ElevatedSystems interesting. thank you much, for your viewpoints.

[@00bmx1]

Dear god the sag on that card you gonna snap that pcb boi

[@ElevatedSystems]

It's a case review. The card was only in there for a day.

[@quecksilber457]

It may be a good medium tower. But nothing beats a be quiet! Dark Base Pro rev.2. 250 € isn't cheap, but it is worth every penny. Here in Germany it's the reference model of PC Games Hardware, one of two big gaming hardware magazines. It is the only tower that ever achieved a perfect A* (1.0 here in Germany). The only thing i dislike a little bit is its weight. Carrying 36 kg upstairs to the second floor wasn't fun at all. :)

[@Stacktracee]

Why are you trying to compare a 100$ case to a 250$ case?...

[@shiroyasha4995]

didnt get a replacement since my address is really of the grid so they just sent me a $10 gift card

[@chasingthefish9042]

70°c over room temp? My house is 72 degrees Fahrenheit. 70°c =158° My room=72° Computer =158 158+72=231°f Seems hot.

[@ariyans.official]

Bhai amar bondhur jonno ami kinte parsi they are man fucking crazy 💋🤩

[@SimpleEnigma331]

This is just an 0-11 Dynamic with a basement....

[@ElevatedSystems]

And 4 fans, smaller footprint, taller CPU cooler capacity, Wider GPU limit and about $70 cheaper.

[@TonyMontanaDS]

And where am I supposed to stick my 4 hard drives? Plus I don't like the look of it.

[@ElevatedSystems]

I'd reccomend you take your 4 hard drives out of your PC and build a NAS.

[@animalyze7120]

4 hard drives? Get out of the stoneage. You can fit plenty of SSD's and your MB should have at least 2 to 4 nvme slots for plenty of storage.

[@TonyMontanaDS]

@@animalyze7120 Can you get 32TB with 4 nvme? NO! So I still need my 4 HDs.

[@kristo2212]

Well there is a tray for 2 2.5" drives and cage for 2 3.5" drives and 1 2.5" drive on top of cage so that is 5 drives + if u get mb with 4 m.2 u can put a lot of TBs here

[@SJHD]

God i hope they make a much smaller MATX version of this

[@ElevatedSystems]

I'm hoping for the same. They did it with the Air One.
