Montech Air 100 Lite

I have done a buget ATX case review manufactured from Korea,
the Abkoncore Cronus C650. (see description below). Beside this case I I was also interest of a Taiwan manufactured case know as the "Montech Air X" but it was not sold in Singapore.
As time goes by, I try my luck and I found this M-ATX case intresting, the "Montech Air 100 Lite". Though am not the first person to review this case.
I will like to share my impressino about this case. It is so pack with features.
So much details are place in this case and I will like to share it with you.
Just for your info, I've gotten this case cheap at shopee.sg

The only video on youtube which goes so in depth into this specific case. Thanks man. I actually bought the AIR100 Lite with the white color for my next build. Can't wait to receive it.

Hi Bryan Lee, welcome to my channel and thank you for the feedback. To be honest, I like this case alot too. The impression of it is real good. I have done two more videos you might be interested. This video is about the static pressure and airflow.. watch till the end kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYqbo6qwjKeNbrM and another which I use this case to share how I do a step by step guide to beginners. it's super neat case and this video is rather lengthy kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWOTm4J6nah2mas , once again thank you for visiting my channel and all the very best with your build 👍

Hey Kleo, just came across your video after purchasing this same Montech case along with the Ryzen AMD 5600g. This is a very informative video, and it will help me a lot when constructing my build (my first one). I am looking forward to watching your PC build video next to get an idea of what all is involved. I bought the ASUS Tuf Gaming B550M-PLUS WiFi motherboard so my build will be a little different than yours, but I'm sure watching it will help nonetheless. Thanks for making this video.

Also check the uefi / bios of your motherboard and set the fan header you are connected to, to DC mode. Set the desire fan curve you wanted based on voltage.

Is vertical gpu mount supported in this case???

Hi animex100, welcome to my channel. If you are using the argb version of this case. Yes you can, there is a argb hub that comes with this case. Just swap out the fans with your p12 argb fans. No issue but don not daisy chain the argb connectors as each p12 argb draws 0.54a which is consider high. Just plug one fan argb to each argb port of the case argb hub.
