Montech King 95 Build - Step by Step Guide and Case Review

[@TheWilcoxExperience]

He's not kidding. the case is amazing. Probably the only thing I've bought in the past few years that delivers a premium feel at a decent value. Nothing feels cheap.

[@kirkdarling4120]

This is true. Whether you actually like the design or not, this feels and builds like a premium case. It's not quite "budget," but it's definitely a good value.

[@11awaken11]

I bought mine a week ago , about to start building on Monday , I am hyped . Glad to hear someone else put a stamp of approval on it

[@CFI963]

I love this Montech King 95. Been using it for a while now. Thank you for reviewing them so deeply. They are absolutely stunning, both case and fans. I would say they are my favorite manufacturer right now.

[@ChristopherFlannigan]

Thanks, very kind. Montech certainly try to make the best case they can and really look at all the small details, which add up.

[@stephenhood2948]

I just ordered a PC build using this case today. I have yet to see one in person, but everything I have saw regarding this case is amazing looking. I cant wait for the parts to get here. My GTX 1080 is due for a replacement. I went with an all white build, I did see they offer this case in red and blue as well, all of them look amazing.

[@loganwhite6173]

Just bought the black pro and built it last week but here I am still watching. I love this case

[@Ryhillchibulls]

Always a good day if I get to hear you say cool air and under load. Good review, im glad you got it done.

[@ChristopherFlannigan]

Better late than never

[@bergdk237]

It is such a nice case🔥 i just received my pro white version, i will switch my parts over from my current case! can't wait to have it assembled and on my desk😁

[@MikeBob2023]

Excellent build guide, Chris! Thank you! (You're the best. 🏆) 24:25 I had the *exact* same thought about the Enermax AIO (I haven't yet decided which AIO brand I'll be using in my build 🙄), so I wanted to ask you: What is your assessment of Enermax (performance-wise) in general? I haven't chosen my CPU yet either, but I'll likely be going with an unlocked Intel i5 or i7.

[@ChristopherFlannigan]

Thanks, that's very kind of you. I left a reply to your previous comments. If noise most important go with the Dark Rock Pro (will save you some money too). If you want an AIO go for one without a USB cable and software to run it. I've always used deepcool in my own systems, never let down. Running the LT720 and very happy with it. You can get better cooling or one with a screen, but you need to use the software which is a pain in the ass and will potentially slow your PC down. I use an ASRock motherboard as you can adjust the ARGB from the BIOS with no software needed (not the RAM or GPU, just the ARGB headers). If your happy with the looks of the air cooler and not wanting the lowest possible temps I would go with an air cooler in my own system or a custom curve on the LT720 isn't too far behind.

[@MikeBob2023]

@@ChristopherFlannigan Yeah, I really like the way those LCD screens look (NZXT, Corsair, etc) but I don't want their software running on my new build (CAM is *still* a buggy mess after all these years, although I've heard that Corsair's iCUE suite has improved). I'd much rather have mine set up they way you're doing it with yours. I think I'll stick with my original (DeepCool LT720) plan. It should look good with Montech AX 120's and still perform well enough. 🤞🏻😉

[@razerangelri]

thank you i was waiting for you to build this beast case👍👍👍👍

[@sinnermac6338]

Great video, my King 95 pro has literally just arrived, Just waiting on an additional 2 montech AX fans for my rog ryujin III AIO and 3 montech RX fans for the top of the case, cant wait!

[@toonnut1]

This channel is the go to channel for building a pc👍👍👍👍

I will soon build a system in the same case, the pro version, this video was really useful, I appreciate how you explained the connection of the fans and the AIO pump, very detailed and easy to understand, thanks for the video!

[@Paintballguru92]

I had to buy the lower price version because the pro was out of stock everywhere! Thank you for the guide.

[@orangeofmars2835]

Totally appreciate the detailed focus of description of the case. Looks to me like if one didn't put the 3rd and 4th 3.5 inch HDDs on the bottom one could put them in the space left when swinging the fan door to the front.

[@buzzfunk]

You're guides help me with my latest build. Best out there. Better than the more well known channels. Keep it up. You should have easily 100k subs. BTW this looks like the LIAN LI O11 case. Very nice. Def a case to leave on your desktop! ;)

[@Artimes.]

Hi, is there anyway I can install the bottom panel for the HDD's and also have fans installed to the bottom of the case. I don't want to sacrifise for more HDD expansion for the lack of that bottom air cool blowing upwards to the motherboard and the graphics card.

[@Darkknight9035]

Bought the case and installed extra three montech ax120 argb fans up top... The fans work but the argb don't... After booting for the first time actually saw all the fans work but 4 fans don't produce the argb lighting... Any solution for this?

[@zodixy4124]

anyone know hot to silent the fans? i changed it in the bios but nothing changed

[@Jaylou88]

Just got done building my daughter’s PC with this case. I’m kind of in love with it 😂. I would definitely recommend the Pro version over the standard because of the pre-installed Fans, ARGB Hub and because the cable management is pretty much already done for you. It saved me like an hour’s worth of cable management once I was done

[@Makaweli90]

Hi, i got the base version and purchased the fans seperatly. Does it work with any hub or is a controller needed. Is your front case rgb working with the hub?

[@Jaylou88]

@@Makaweli90 hey, I believe all their cases come with a hub so you should be good 👍 I connected my case RGB straight to the motherboard, along with the power and reset buttons. I wouldn’t be 100 sure if it works with the included hub. However, I do know that the hub only supports 5v argb inputs and the case rgb are most likely 12v because the connectors are different

[@Makaweli90]

@@Jaylou88 hmm.. as far as i've seen the non pro version doesn't come with a pwm and rgb controller unlike the pro version. I think i will figure it out in a few hours. Thank you for your response. Appreciate it.

[@Jaylou88]

@@Makaweli90 that would be very odd if they didn’t include it, seeing as how even my $60 montech air 100 case came with one. I’m rooting for ya tho 😅

[@essentia9]

The first case in my life I need a guide for

[@jasonmb9465]

So you have reverse fans on the side pulling air in, Are the fans on the bottom blowing out? Is the rad fans pulling in and is the back fan blowing out? I'm putting together another build in the very case, just a bit confused on the fan situation.. I've never built in a case with fans on the bottom.

[@Ronnie01964]

Looks great this case, think i'm gonna get me a blue one pro.

[@bartraaijmakers103]

Thanks for the video! I'm going to build a new pc and absolutely love this case! This video really helped me plan the build.(it's my first build after 10 years now and i am a little bit rusty) I want to go with this case, a asrock b650 steel legend mobo, a ryzen 7 7800x3d cpu, a asrock 7900 gre, kingston fury beast ddr5 6000 cl30 32gb set, a arctic liquid freezer III cooler, a lexar nm790 2TB ssd, and a thermaltake toughpower gf snow 850 w. And i want to mount the gpu vertically with the coolermaster mount.

[@ranagustavo29]

In your conclusions you said that the case feels premium but I listen some people said that some panels doesn't fit well, did you see anything similar? I like other options similar to this but the problem with others is they don't have a big capacity for 3.5 hdd respect this case.

[@Dsh9x]

I have a question does the case has a pwm and ARGB hub?

[@VolcanicChimp16qh1vz]

Yes the just the pro version.

[@travistuckerSB]

Yeah, what he said. King 95 Pro is super impressive for the money. Fans are def the cheapest feeling component but still get the job done.

[@ChristopherFlannigan]

Can't beat them at that price

[@travistuckerSB]

@@ChristopherFlannigan Agreed, especially with RX fans. And the build quality of the case itself is fantastic.

[@WeldingAxe96]

Literally got the pro case yesterday xD looking forward to building in it :D was a no brainer.. 150 if you buy 3 extra fans for the top instead of a hyte or lian li that comes to about 450 after fans

[@atcs5757]

If my motherboard only has 3 5V ARGB headers (3A max), will i be able to connect 10 argb fans (9 case fans and 1 cpu cooler fans) AND the front panel light strip? Thermalright argb fans btw.

[@johnvamvo5438]

the argb hub in case has 10 spots so pretty sure yes

[@GDBAKED81]

I didn't get that front panel connector cable with mine was it hidden somewhere in the front panel?

[@h0lyavenger]

Sweet thanks for the video, should help a lot later this year when I build my new ryzen workstation using this exact case and an AIO.

[@JohnJohnEscolano]

Can 2pcs 120 fan fit on side? No 140 fan with the same design with 120 size fan hear in my country, non pro version is also available only hear

[@ethancbaker2002]

This may be a dumb question but when you installed the aio back plat to the motherboard did you have to take out the ssd/hdd drive in the back to put the back plate on? Just wanted to ask thanks.

[@111HYPE111]

I’m looking to build my first computer in the King 95 case and I’ve been wondering, can you/should you connect the radiator fans from the AIO to the montech RGB hub that’s pre installed in the top of the case? That way all the fans in the case including the AIO are hooked to the hub. And if so, would you connect power the power and the RGB lines to the hub (or would you connect power to the motherboard)?

[@FastLikePuma]

Is that plate behind the side intake a must? Seems like it would obstruct air. Does it make a difference off or on?

[@Russ_uk]

will this case fit an Aorus master 4080 super in horizontally ? it will not fit into an nzxt h9 thanks

[@Onedge_Gaming_FS]

Link to the fans on the aio? Bc i thought aio couldn't use normal fans

[@Parkybob11]

How do you install a mobo that already has an io shield?

[@SlobberyZombies]

I have the same case but my Corsair fans and thermaltake fan won’t be able to screw down on the top or the side so what should I do

[@JahonCross]

love the case and I enjoyed the building guide

[@viperrcr]

The only thing I wish more cases came with, even if it is an extra purchase option, is to be able to make the hard drive cage hot-swapable with a backplane. I do have a Lian-Li O11 Dynamic XL case that has it. I would love to go to the bracketless front/side fishtank look cases that are out now, but I'm not aware of anything that has the hot-swap backplane other than the Dynamic XL with a fish-tank style. This seems like an amazing case though!

[@regwatson2017]

With the power supply mounted like that it is exhausting warm air into the case. Wouldn't it be better have it blow warm air out ? You'd have to rotate it 180 degrees. I prefer a power supply at the bottom of the case personally blowing air out the bottom but with this case you don't have the choice - you have to stick the power supply vertically rather than horizontally.

[@babayagagaming4691]

Where do you get that front panel connector

[@realyoobooi]

hi i just realise all the fan is blowing in? to set the aio to be the exhaust?

[@MingiInimene]

But when you want to upgrade to other fans,what case model should i the get?

[@johnvamvo5438]

wondering same thing. I want to put fans on the from mesh like he stated . id like to get different shaped fans to make it look funky. also month fans seem to be a little expensive right now at 15$each. I would love some advice. also how do you know if the fan you are buying will both direct air in correct direction as well as have rgb colors on correct side

[@Game4Lyfe]

Just bought 240mm aio. Can it be mounted to the top? Amazon shipment for case was delayed. Go figure I see lol

[@vladNMP]

can this fit an aio liquid freezer II on top?

[@Polika270]

Artic Liquid Freezer II 360mm does it fit on top? It doesn't fit in the Montech SKY TWO Black, is there more space here?

[@Newtopcgaming23]

Can you fit E-ATX motherboard in this case?

[@martiangod]

Wait so i could put 11 fans total, 2x 140 on front mesh panel, side mounted 280 AIO with 2 140 fans and then 3x 120 fans on bottom, 3x 120 fans up top and a single 120 at the rear ? If so im ordering this straight away and ditching my corsair 4000D

[@johnvamvo5438]

yes that is correct. I've read people removing the rear fan for clearance issues here and there. Im currently looking into buying to 140mm standard fans for the mesh net. Im not sure if I should get month or a different brand . would this effect rgb connectivity ? I think changing the shape of the front nesh fans would give it a cool look

[@lucasjuniorproducer]

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?

[@Henrique-wv9xq]

how is it? Are the temps good?

[@eddiesmith5559]

Quick question. You mention that the Pro version includes a “front panel” connector cable. Just received the Pro and it wasn’t included. The manual also states this cable is exclusive to the King 95 (non-Pro version). Am I missing something? Thanks!

[@kirkdarling4120]

I have the non-pro version, and I noted the same thing. It did include the front panel connector cable adapter. In my use, I found that adapter necessary: As far as I can tell, the stock connector block leaves the LED control button useless with most motherboards (at least it would in mine). With the adapter, I was able to reassign the LED control button to the Reset function.

[@JimboHurt]

Did you ever figure out what to do so that the button works as rgb button instead of reset? Ill be building in these on Wednesday

[@kirkdarling4120]

@@JimboHurtTo make that button work as an rgb controller, you need to have the pro version that has its own proprietary aRGB splitter.

How the f do u get extra ssd and hdd in this thing

[@duffel87]

Mr Flannigan the goat!!!

[@kirkdarling4120]

Nobody seems to mention: The front panel has a button to toggle through LED states on the King 95 Pro, in which the fans are controlled through a Montech hub. The Montech front panel header has the LED toggle button molded into that plug. I've got a non-pro unit that doesn't have the Montech fan hub (I added my own). The molded Montech front panel header does not connect the wires from the LED toggle button to anything worthwhile if you're not using their fan hub. But Montech provides an adapter to the header that converts it to conventional header pin jacks along with a separate LED line. You can plug the LED line onto the Reset pins, turning that LED toggle button into a Reset button. I removed that drive cage and mounted my psu in the top position, giving me a big area of metal plate to mount my own aRGB and fan hubs.

[@Poeticzx]

hey , will other fans work on it thats nor the brand of montech

[@kirkdarling4120]

[@gandoo10]

I guess you build these to show off the cases but is there a reason you went with 7200Mhz RAM for the x3D and not the supposed "sweet spot" of 6000Mhz?

Just curious, but are you using any supports for the graphics card or is the case pretty stout?

[@MP-yr3ei]

1) Preferable option is PCIE supoort bracket that comes with the gpu or separate purchase 2) Worst case is sacrifice one of the bottom fans or find a place on top of the fans for the vertical support

I never build a PC and i am poking around to find the courage and start. Not a complete newbie when it comes to TECH but def new when it comes to building a Gaming PC. I am thinking about a full White build: CPU: RYZEN 7800X3D CPU COOLER: DEEPCOOL LS720 SE WH 360mm (here i want mostly a clean looking cooler doing its job and being budget freindly) GPU: Powercolor Radeon RX 7800 XT Hellhound Spectral White MOBO: B650 AORUS ELITE AX ICE (is a flash bios here required?) RAM: 2x16GB CORSAIR(any othe suggestions here?) RGB 6000 CL 30/32(dunno if the latency really affects ingame performance at this point) SSD: WD Black SN770 NVMe 1TB (or something around same price) PSU: Corsair RM850 (2021), RM Series, 850 Watt 80 Plus Gold WHITE(i want this mostly so i dont bother with white extenders...any suggestions?) CASE: Montech King 95 Pro WHITE Do you have any suggestions? i am trying to stay on a budget while i keep the beautiful white clean looks and not sacrificing Performance. DO you think those parts will fit well together ? Compatibility issues is the most scaring thing....along with the BIOS errors(if any) Subscribing was a nobrainer for me. Good Luck
