Wanted to add some information from the King 95 Pro for anyone interested. The Pro version comes with the Montech fans preinstalled and an RGB controller mounted at the top interior of the case where the side fans are located. A cable sleeve does an excellent job of keeping all the fan wires neat and tidy.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Thanks for sharing

[@PlankGFX]

What rgb control software do you use with the king 95 pro

[@Thesilverninja]

@@PlankGFX I'm going to be honest, I haven't had much luck finding software that I like using. MSI Mystic light is incredibly basic and doesn't provide nearly as many cool features as LianLi. But everything needs to be plugged into the LianLi controller to get all those cool effects. Basically, you have to press the button to cycle through preset color modes. When you hold it in, then it will sync to whatever software you're running on your computer. I haven't figured out a way to get more control and kind of gave up.

[@danielridley2137]

So when you say “it comes with the montech fans” are those the same fans as a graphic cards? They look the same…??

[@Thesilverninja]

@@danielridley2137 Um, no. The fans that are provided by the Montech case come preinstalled instead of loose. The fans are bigger than typical graphics card fans.

Thanks. I've got plenty of playlists if you want to do just that 😂

[@RaulNigli]

In hindsight, a couple of pointers. 1. The back door comes off, so take it off during install. 2. The hub can be shoved into the hdd trays behind where the ssd was installed. That will result in a cleaner look.

[@TheOtherOthers]

About to do build in this case tomorrow, and this was an excellent way to see what to do with a 280 AIO on the side! Thanks so much!

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Good luck with your build

[@victornatal1792]

Honest question: why don’t you install the side fans blowing into the case? Installing them sucking the air out so close to the front fans that are blowing air in seems like a waste of fresh air.

[@Kees247]

Best review on this case. Got 1 incoming. Thank you.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Glad it was helpful but this wasn't my review 😀

[@Wellibob68]

Just got this case. Great video. I'm surprised you didn't go all fish tank and have it all glass. Good tips and prepares me for the rats nest of wires (using all 120mm argb fans and a similar 360 white aio). Have a nice day.

[@AverageWatched]

It’s possible to fit a 280mm radiator (at least an NZXT one) on the side panel, but it’s an extremely tight fit.

[@flowerguides]

My rgb works when I disconnect it from the motherboard but when I plug in the 3 pin argb into the motherboard, there is no sync

[@jimbobborg22]

I bought the red version of this case (accidently, I wanted the Pro version but I'm apparently blind). Anyway, I've lost several screws so far, still not done, but it does start. I need to finish plugging in the fan and rgb controller and it should be gtg.

[@casual-heroes]

I have plugged in my 5V ARGB header cable but the led stip will not show? any idea whats up with that?

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

I believe that the led button is only for the pro model or if it isn't I haven't worked out that part I am afraid

[@ainzsama1927]

Thank you my friend, your video helped me a lot. Do you have any recommendations for horizontal gpu support? The Montech one doesn't look cool because of the fans on the bottom.

[@hrishabhdivya]

Dose it affect the performance when you do your GPU like that? I mean attach it with a cable to motherboard ?

[@SoulKittyKat]

Yea, I got the pro version of the case and the only "fan scews" that were included were the super long ones for bottom mounting. So that is severely disappointing.

[@100radsbar]

Can you do a top mounted 360 mm Arctic Luquid Freezer III in a Push-Pull configuration where it exhaust the heat out of the top?

[@smiley235]

As far a know, yes, side and bottom fans are intake, AIO and rear fans exhaust. Only thing I've heard though is that you should use the case's fixings for the arctic freezer III AIO to fit, possibly even not use washers. Search for clearance issues.

[@cheekster777]

Thank you my friend.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

@@TheProvokedPrawn Sorry, now edited. Apologies

[@Yumahxz]

[@Truck-kun_01]

Aye sir, I'm gonna be building a PC in this case soon, do you think it'll have enough clearance with the Deepcool AK620 Digital, also clearance with Ram aswell?

[@cssq.]

Hey mate is Anyone familiar with lian li infinity fans if so tryna figure out if it would be compatible with the king 95 pro case in this configuration the 4 front fans would be 140mm reverse blade fans (so intake) the bottom 3 fans would be 120mm reverse blade fans (so intake) the top 3 120mm fans on the aio would be exhaust then the one on the back of the case is a exhaust curious if they could use the built in fan hub on the case or all would work with the included lian li fan hub in the 3 pack thanks heaps for letting me know

[@Red-ding-Ton]

Hey man, I have a question for you. I have the same case and was wondering what gpu mounting kit you would recommend for my rx7800xt card? I have 3x120mm fans on the bottom and an ATX motherboard so I'm worried if I will have enough space for the gpu bracket because there isn't much room on the bottom.

[@Tekka579]

You did it!!! Lets Goooooooo!!

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Finally 😀

[@Aayush789]

This case has reversed blade fan so i think your bottom fans are exhaust and i have seen many other builds also on this case and every time bottom fans are facing upwards and are set as intake

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

@@Aayush789 the bottom fans are intake.

[@CoffeeGameMovie]

@@TheProvokedPrawn Hes right, the bottom fans as a default configuration pushing air into the case and their rgb led is showing perfectly as they facing upside not downside. If u turned those fans downside they pulling air from the case, if those fans the default reverse fans we talking about.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

@@CoffeeGameMovie what are you talking about. I know how I installed the fans.

[@ifensler]

@@TheProvokedPrawn I think they assumed you got the king 95 pro, in which case the bottom fans are reversed, and would be installed face up. But I’m assuming you bought normal fans for the bottom yourself and had to install them face down

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

@@ifensler right. Thanks for explaining that they were wrong 😂 yes they are standard fans not reverse blade. I'm not a lunatic. I even explain they were not reverse blade while I was installing them 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@AlCe99]

I've got the Montech King 95 Pro and the GIGABYTE B650 A ELITE AX Ice. My Problem is that the F_Panel header does not fit on the MB. That's because Gigabite is using this G Connector thing in wich I cannot insert the F_Panel header from the Montech Case. Some can help ?

[@GDBAKED81]

How is the cooling, I heard it's not really good with the fans that come with the case

I think I covered thermals in the review kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2e0lXlsp82Me7M

[@dominiquevanderwesthuizen1776]

You really have your fans on the bottom set to exhaust????? You know hot air goes upwards correct??

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

No. They are intake. This is not the Pro case. Those are standard blade fans...

[@ee_vee28]

Hello hoping you reply to my comment, I have a micro atx mobo will it look okay/fine for this case?

[@_shat11]

Hey man nothing bad will happen right if i use a razer chroma rgb hub and a razer pwm fan controller at the same time with different sata power sources with a splitter on both of them to increase just one fan slot and one rgb slot

[@Kapselek0913]

Can this case fit Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360 (black) on top?

[@RaulNigli]

What software do you use to control all the ARGB? The ram, case fans, the hub, the aio?

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

In this instance I used SignalRGB - kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6GonYdvrJaSodU

[@Sir-Raph]

Hey Prawn, I've always found your videos very helpful, but I've desperately been looking for a tutorial on dual AIOs. Specifically, having both a CPU AIO and a GPU AIO (like the MSI Suprim Liquid X - 280mm). I'm using a Corsair 7000X case, so space is no issue, but with a 360mm & 280mm radiators, I seemingly have no choice but to set one of the AIOs as intake to avoid having negative pressure. Any ideas how to set up my GPU's 280mm radiator optimally? Cheers!

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Sadly that's not something I've tried. Sorry

[@Sir-Raph]

@@TheProvokedPrawn Could you...? 😅😛🙏

[@ifensler]

Did you ever do this build? I’m doing the same thing and I’m thinking of using the 280 gpu aio as intake and use the bigger 360 as outtake. That made the most sense in my mind.

[@DriedPersimon]

Hi there, sorry for the post on an older video. I'm about to buy a montech king 95 pro and wanted the new hydroshift aio. im really worried that it might not fit at the top? some people have said that the lian li series aios are too slim to fit in the top bracket...do you know if it would fit perfectly fine?

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Can't see any reason why it wouldn't.

[@skizerpt1092]

Its there software to manage the rgb color fans of the case?

[@ImShubhamY]

Does this case supports taichi lite? its an eatx with nearly an extra inch on right side

[@civsully1740]

Hey Prawn can you recommend any decent mid sized cases that can handle a ATX board and fit a 420mm aio on the top? Thx

[@oreorevic298]

So do you I need Thermalright fan control if I bought king 95 Pro which has some type of fan control on the case?

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Would not have thought so. But I've not used the King 95 Pro so can't say.

[@KingsBruno]

Can I put the RGB cables from the watercooler into the ARGB/FAN controller of the PRO version case? If so, can I only put the RGB cables?

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

[@KingsBruno]

@@TheProvokedPrawn I saw here that I can connect the RGB, sorry for the stupid question, but the Hub requires two SATA connections... can i use a single sata cable with two ends run the hub, or should two separate SATA cables be used?

[@kev2427]

This is great but the fact the radiator fans so t match is killing my brain

[@Menemnon]

So I have the same case, same fans and the same hub, but I can't get the fan leds to work. Although the fan leds don't work they are spinning so I'm pretty sure the hub is good. (all connected to a 5v connector, always were). I got: mobo rgb 5v 1 > case led - (works) mobo rgb 5v 2 > rgb+fan hub > 6x fan leds + Lian Li AIO pump rgb. The pump led lights up, but that might just be an indication that it's ON, havent been able to control it so it might also be unaffected by whatever signal comes through the argb hub. How did you get them to work?

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

And the hub is connected to sata power and to sys fan header?

[@Menemnon]

@@TheProvokedPrawn Yes it is. And thanks for replying, I'm lost :)

@@Menemnon very odd. And you have checked there's not a loose connection somewhere?
