All year Ive been planning on geeting me an o11 case until I stumbled upon this case the King 95Pro and just knew I had to watch you doing a review of it. This is the perfect kind of different Ive been looking for. Always like your reviews and how unbiased you are. Keep doing what you're doing 👍👌
I moved my primary Windows PC to the Black version of the King 95 pro a couple of weeks ago. I'm very happy with it. I added a 360mm AIO to it and my 5800x3D and 7900XT run very cool. I think the extra 3 fans and radiator help a lot with cooling . Cpu and Gpu temps are 65-70 C on heavens benchmark. You will need a RPG splitter cable to light 3 more fans. The controller only has enough headers for the RGB on 2 more fans but enough to power 3 more. Thanks for the video
Just transferred my build into this today and it's honestly an amazing case for the price. Everything is solid and and feels premium nothing thin and flimsy. I got the pro version and works well with my liquid freezer ii 280mm
@@slightburn_ on top in the very middle dropped cpu temps 10c in this case and a few off my GPU as well With it being the liquid freezer it is tight definitely couldn't fit anything thicker than that.
I really hope in the future that Montech allows for the dust filter at the bottom to be removeable from the side or front of the case instead of the back, considering that the dust filter is full length anyways. Given the type of case it is, it'll be placed on the desk anyways, so the easier the maintenance the better. Lian Li's O11 cases, NZXT H9, and Phanteks's NV series of cases do this so why can't Montech, you know?
I think it might have to do with that this is their first run with this style of cases and many have been loving the changes that they have made on the O11 style design,
I got one and I did a transfer of the guts from my Thermal Take H120, replaced the 120mm fans with 140mm added two 140mm fans in the top. The temps are low to mid 30c Intel i5 12400, rtx3060. Very happy, I did this to get the dual chamber.
It's missing a vertical GPU mount which is standard for this kind of case. It looks nice, props for Montech for putting itself in case categories that they don't have in their line-up.
I got one and I absolutely love it! It's the best case that I have ever had, I previously had that Lian Li O11 by DerBauer but when I saw the King 95 Pro in Red I had to switch to it since I have it paired with a PowerColor Red Devil 7800xt which bleeds red. I highly recommend it and it was the easiest cases to build in! if you want a unique case that looks amazing then definitely give it a high look!
@sol-hb8zg I feel that lian li could learn a thing or two from montech cause in the king 95 and 95 pro they integrated all the rgb and hub into the case so there's no need for rgb software. There's very little plastic but a ton of variety with it
Got the white pro version 2 days ago and added 2 more Montech fans to the front mesh. It cools my 4090 about 5 more degrees, than in my Cooler master h500 mesh case. Great video👍🏻
Montech please make a XL version. 3 cms intake on the bottom (feet). Support for 140mm rear, 3-140mm and 420mm radiator top and bottom, E-ATX motherboard support, push pull support for a 280mm AIO on the side. Also make it 4 cms taller to accommodate easily 30mm fans and a ticker radiator fan configuration
That pro is perfect for an aio build. The non pro is perfect for custom loop. What a beast of spec choise. 👏👏 Let alone the great case. Huge props to montech.
Its been 10 years since I've upgraded cases, I still have the Corsair Air 540, I love the dual chamber design, but these new styles are speaking to me. since I don't think I would ever go back to a regular tower design.
I absolutely love what Montech is doing. Beating everyone else by offering more features and high quality, with insane price. I thought the AIR 903 is the best they can do. But now they offer more value with the KING 95, Wow ! Seems to be a perfect case to me !
I ordered this case and the H6 Flow. Both are really awesome, but I liked the slightly smaller H6 and how clean the H6 looks with the fan compartments on the bottom and side. The fans fit so nicely in those pockets and you don't see any grating or body of the case. I did like the PSU mounts on the bottom of the Montech instead of the top of the H6 (easier for clean cable routing on the back. Considering everything you get with the Montech (e.g. mesh, glass, fans, etc.), it's tremendous value and the build quality was above and beyond most other brands. Both cases are 5 stars to me, it just comes down to personal preference.
The H6 Flow works well but struggles with fitting certain fans, like the Lian Li SL Infinity. It's better suited for NZXT fans which it's designed for.
@@phalaxis3573 I was able to fit the new Lian Li SL 120/140 Inf V2 fans in. Now that they have redone the power connector (flush to the side), they fit like a glove. Actually looks great because there is hardly any space. Wish I could post a pic.
it looks fantastic, I just put together a new build. Had I known about this case, I think I would have gotten this one. Dual chambers are everywhere but for everything you get with this one, It seems pretty good value as well. I didn't know of this case until now and I Just built my current build.
I'm thinking about making my next PC in the blue variant case, I hope it fits the AIO with it's fans from NZXT Kraken 360 on the top, and I hope it fits a 4080 super. More case manufactures need color variants in there pallet.
This case has an amazing value, alas the bottom dust filter can only be removed from the back. I've experienced this with my case and it's such an annoying thing. It really made me lazy in cleaning the case and i probably don't want it to happen in a showcase product like this.
D I still recon Montech should sell the matching fans that you find in the cases separately. The Skye two has Grey bladed reverse flow ARGB fans in but cant buy them separately
This case is a good one with a few things I would change like opening up the plastic covers with thinner plastic to allow more air, having the fan/rgb hub in the base models and finer fan filters on the main covers.
I'm not personally a fan of curved tempered glass but I love that they're doing something new and still at a reasonable price The swivelling fan bracket I agree feels unnecessary and not all that helpful, especially since it changes from intake to exhaust unless you flip the fans which defeats the purpose of an easy swivel anyway. Other thing I'm a big fan of is having filters on all sides with a strong lean toward intake but then having vents all around the case for that pressure to escape. So in theory it should have way more than enough airflow to keep cool, excellent dust prevention and no concentrated heat exhaust. I'm reminded of an old gaming laptop I had at a LAN party many years back which accidentally cooked a can of soup that was sitting next to it.. 90C exhaust concentrated in one spot for hours can end badly so it's nice to see that spread around Shame it's not easily available in Australia though, Montech has a pretty small presence here
Already preordered. This case looks amazing and it's finally something that's not just black or white or awful color tones like the Fractal Pop cases. Finally building that Sonic build I've wanted ever since the ASRock Z790 PG Sonic got announced. I'm excited! Also my first return to Intel CPUs since 2017.
Interesting that it was a priority to have a built in RGB controller and they some how skipped or missed have a built in fan speed controller because im finding that the fan speed has to be on full blast is your only option !! other then that is a great pc case.
If you want a dual-chamber case that is REALLY affordable and interesting is the DIYPC ARGB Q3 Green (personally I LOVE the green and after working with this case it's surprisingly nice for the very cheap pricepoint that it is). Could be fun to see your thoughts, especially since for a lot of people they just want the look and don't really care about materials that they realistically aren't going to touch after they build it :)
@@trsskater it is on the cheaper side but it's not as bad as you think. It still has tempered glass and fits ATX power supplies. Personally I'm not always touching and feeling the computer I don't really care. Considering just how much cheaper and smaller it is I would say it's an absolute win.
@@xPLAYnOfficial What I mean is it is the lower quality version of the case. No removable trays for the fans on the top. It's not a tooless glass removal, no rubber gramets, the included fans are not good, the rear PCIe brackets seem to be the punch out type that you can't put back, the 120 fans on the side are placed weird since it's tall enough for 2x 140 but they are trying to space better to not look so small, and in general a low quality fit and finish. I feel like you are making a lot of compromises that makes that price appropriate to me. So it's like it's nice that they make a case for someone who wants that look on a budget at half the price of the king 95, especially since the king 95 pro fans aren't very good, you can get the non pro and get better fans. The king 95 is a pretty bomb deal compared to the competition already I don't think it would be worth it to go for the other DIYPC case.
@@trsskater Another consideration is size. Pretty much all of the dual chamber cases that are going for this O11 Dynamic type aesthetic are very big. This case is matx and is a lot smaller and thus way easier to fit on a normal desk. Yes there are definitely compromises for sure but as you pointed out as well this case is a lot cheaper. Personally I have a rig setup with this case and Lian Li SL120 fans and in my opinion it looks pretty darn gorgeous. I also especially love the color choices like the teal and pink. Just adds more variety and spice of life.
@@xPLAYnOfficial IMO the king 95 should have been in teal rather than persion blue. It is a much nicer color. But I'm sure some people would like the darker blue as well.
Been doing research for my next case. looking into MATX, want to get a smaller case than what I have no (Define R6). Honestly really like the Thermaltake Tower 200. But really like this one here as well. Was already a fan of the O11, but started looking into other cases when i decided not to do a custom loop. I likely wont be building for another year unfortunately, but this is a top pick front runner for me!
I have the Sky Two and love it, but this looks amazing. I'm on my first PC build and kinda wish I would've gone with a dual chamber so the bottom intake isn't directly over the PSU.
I have a Sky Two build I did a year ago, but when Micro Center gets the King 95 Pro in stock (just as vanilla now), I'm going to swap my rig over to have more breathing room, more drive expansion options, and for that sick red color. I've seen people slap a 2nd fan in the bottom of their Sky Two builds and wondered what they were thinking since the PSU is blocking any airflow?
This might sound weird and might be irrelevant for most people, but for me the less plastic the case employs - the better. So for that reason alone I'd go with the O11.
These cases are wonderful i love what they've done but I just don't need to replace my CM-690 II from over a decade ago. I would definitely recommend this to like a younger sibling or something though.
Wow, I have the same case! It's getting a little long on the tooth, it doesn't have USB 3.0 on the front and it doesn't support today's humongous graphics cards
@@pacifico4999 I "only" have a 3080, but you can take the bays out of the front of the case to make more room. I never use the front IO anyway to be honest, I have a few usb extensions (my desk is big) that are closer to me than the case.
Very good case for the price. RGB is fine as, in a case where you can see everything, overkill RGB will make it distracting when on the desk next to the user. The only real things that they could do to improve it further would be to use a bottom bracket (creating some distance between the rear of the fan and the case will greatly improve noise levels), use adjustable rails instead the top bracket (allowing 140mm fans to operate unobstructed by the bracket, but that is a very common issue with most cases), and a slightly higher porosity for the optional front mesh. But is a “bargain”, considering that the O11 Evo will set you back £20+ for the front mesh alone. Also, no fans included. And quality wise, Lian Li isn’t what they’ve used to be.
Those temps on the GPU is a no-go for me, sadly I'd honestly suggest to buy the no fan version and just add them on your own, some quality fans, you can go with some P12/P14 and be good to go Though I'm also guessing you didn't test with a radiator on top, that might help a lot, cause stock configuration only has 1 exhaust, too much hot air clogged inside
@@kirkdarling4120 Every single video and every single picture, were outside light is not refracting off the front panel, shows this. In fact some reviews talked about how they reduced that effect by literally painting or taping off the edge of the glass facing the led light strip.
There's one major issue with this case. IT only supports a 190 mm psu. The Lian Li supports a 220. Now with power supply requirements skyrocketing thanks to Intel and Nvidia, I don't know that i'd be willing to make that sacrifice personally. Yes, you can grab something like the seasonic vertex-px 1200 and be okay since it's a standard length, but a large number of PSUs are massive now.
Thought his case was really nice until I considered that the included fans probably suck (which seems to be right). Still could be a good case, I dig the budget hyte looks (without forcing me to vertically mount my GPU), but some investment in real fans would be required, IMHO. Still want a Fractal Torrent tho... lol 🤤
Same, I rebuilt mine on Friday, in the 95 pro, and even under test load, mine are nowhere near those temps. I'm not using the swiveled fans or mesh front either.
yes ofc 👍 Temps might differ based on hardware, so comparing mine to yours is not really relevant. What's relevant is the difference between stock and front-intake. Curious tho, what are your temps like? -D.
@@HardwareCanucks GPU 4090 is 72 Under heavy load. CPU i7 13700K using 360 arctic 2 So it never goes over 80 when really pushed. In my old case the 4090 was pushing 80👍🏼
Montech is super impressive. A good budget case is the difference between a 'dirt cheap' build and a budget build. Montech helped me give my budget build a personality and give it some flare. not to mention the great cooling. I use the Montech Air 100. I built my first PC ever in it. I am definitely upgrading to another montech product. I hope they copy the ThermalTake tower design and give their good ol' montech twist.
I never understood the craze behind fish tank cases. Each to their own but I would like a good old fashion steel/ mesh case with no transparent sidepanel. Mid and high tower.
It's for those that want to build a show piece rather than a function over form. I've spent way too much on my PC just to make it look pretty and I'm the only person that sees it. Womp womp lol.
PRO has 6 fans (1x 120 regular, 3x 120 reversed, 2x 140 reversed and a fan hub for ARGB and power). The non-pro doesn't have the fans or the hub, but still has the integrated soft light strip at the front. -D.
I'm still loving my Lian Li 011 Air Mini. I've kept my computer away from me as I don't care about what is inside my computer. I'm pretty much not a target market for those who don't care for tempered glass.
So, i may be wrong here because ive only worked with glass a few times, but i do think the story would have been different if you hadnt used the mousepads, why? Because glass wants to get rid of all that energy and stress and the mousepads dampen the transfer so its not able to, how do i know this? Well, i have had to make custom glass pieces a few times and the first couple i would put a carpet or something under or around the glass, and that would make it explode when bending or cutting, once i figured that out i never broke another sheet of glass lol. Then again, glass is scary so no one can blame you for trying it this way lol.
not true at all. glass is hard, tempered glass is even harder. hard means no flex, no moving energy. it absorbs all it can, until it cant, then it breaks. without the pad it only wouldve broken faster because padding softens the blow, spreads the force out better than asphalt
To be honest, I put the pads as a precaution for my tires lol Looking at the video on Montech's website, you can clearly see they are riding on standard asphalt, which would introduce micro chipping points for the glass and I even thought having something softer under the glass would prevent it scraping on my driveway. But anyway, hope they remove that part from their marketing. -D.
The problem is that I suspend my computers below my sit/stand desk. I love the O11 mini-air and the O11 Evo because the fit nicely in some of the better designed mounts. This case, as much as I love a lot about it, just simply will not fit. That is a hard no-go for me.
having the option for two power supplies is neat but i dont know how youd be able to use both of them, even if you dedicate it to a gpu it still needs a start signal from the motherboard
Especially on the non-pro, it's better to remove that hdd compartment and mount a single psu in the upper position. That gives you a space with a large flat plate in the lower position to mount fan and aRGB splitters.

Just bought the pro in black. Going with an AIO because it seems like it needs more exhaust from the default configuration.
It's very good but it's too tall for where I'd like to put my next case. Hopefully they release a microatx version to rival the 011d mini.
Been doing research for my next case. looking into MATX, want to get a smaller case than what I have no (Define R6). Honestly really like the Thermaltake Tower 200. But really like this one here as well. Was already a fan of the O11, but started looking into other cases when i decided not to do a custom loop. I likely wont be building for another year unfortunately, but this is a top pick front runner for me!
There is also an O11 mini if you want a smaller case that looks like the O11D
I have the Sky Two and love it, but this looks amazing.
I'm on my first PC build and kinda wish I would've gone with a dual chamber so the bottom intake isn't directly over the PSU.
I have a Sky Two build I did a year ago, but when Micro Center gets the King 95 Pro in stock (just as vanilla now), I'm going to swap my rig over to have more breathing room, more drive expansion options, and for that sick red color.
I've seen people slap a 2nd fan in the bottom of their Sky Two builds and wondered what they were thinking since the PSU is blocking any airflow?
thanks for making version without fans
This might sound weird and might be irrelevant for most people, but for me the less plastic the case employs - the better. So for that reason alone I'd go with the O11.
If the glass would be ONE part to cover both sides... i would buy it.
These cases are wonderful i love what they've done but I just don't need to replace my CM-690 II from over a decade ago. I would definitely recommend this to like a younger sibling or something though.
Wow, I have the same case! It's getting a little long on the tooth, it doesn't have USB 3.0 on the front and it doesn't support today's humongous graphics cards
@@pacifico4999 I "only" have a 3080, but you can take the bays out of the front of the case to make more room. I never use the front IO anyway to be honest, I have a few usb extensions (my desk is big) that are closer to me than the case.
I was gonna get the nv5 but I’m leaning towards the monthech 95 now
nice video do you think it is possible to unmount all color part to put them on white one ? to have colored with white interior ? )
glass is glass and glass breaks - jerryrigeverthing 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Finally interesting colors 😊
I am VERY impressed. I may be migrating my system over in the near future.
Ez purchase with all the fans if it's $99
I wait for the montech sky one mini for $30 a few months ago
Great build for my client😂
Wishing I had waited and bought this instead of the Sky 2....much better layout.
Very good case for the price. RGB is fine as, in a case where you can see everything, overkill RGB will make it distracting when on the desk next to the user. The only real things that they could do to improve it further would be to use a bottom bracket (creating some distance between the rear of the fan and the case will greatly improve noise levels), use adjustable rails instead the top bracket (allowing 140mm fans to operate unobstructed by the bracket, but that is a very common issue with most cases), and a slightly higher porosity for the optional front mesh. But is a “bargain”, considering that the O11 Evo will set you back £20+ for the front mesh alone. Also, no fans included. And quality wise, Lian Li isn’t what they’ve used to be.
Very impressive case
Hey, can I have that desk mat? The one you ran the car over? If you wouldn't mind.
Would add to my setup, especially in these broke times.
Men if i didn't bought the AIR MAX 03 i would seriously thinking in buying this
The value is crazy and they look awesome.
Those temps on the GPU is a no-go for me, sadly
I'd honestly suggest to buy the no fan version and just add them on your own, some quality fans, you can go with some P12/P14 and be good to go
Though I'm also guessing you didn't test with a radiator on top, that might help a lot, cause stock configuration only has 1 exhaust, too much hot air clogged inside
Ive been wating the 011 mini for a while but Im probably going to snatch this.
I’m curious as to the thickness of the power supply area.
The biggest thing to hate about this case, is the annoying light on the front which causes the glass to light up.
In practice, it doesn't light up the glass.
@@kirkdarling4120 Every single video and every single picture, were outside light is not refracting off the front panel, shows this. In fact some reviews talked about how they reduced that effect by literally painting or taping off the edge of the glass facing the led light strip.
There's one major issue with this case. IT only supports a 190 mm psu. The Lian Li supports a 220. Now with power supply requirements skyrocketing thanks to Intel and Nvidia, I don't know that i'd be willing to make that sacrifice personally. Yes, you can grab something like the seasonic vertex-px 1200 and be okay since it's a standard length, but a large number of PSUs are massive now.
I love it when people say "in case" in a case reviews. 😄
Then again... "out case" wouldn't make much sense. 😆
Thought his case was really nice until I considered that the included fans probably suck (which seems to be right). Still could be a good case, I dig the budget hyte looks (without forcing me to vertically mount my GPU), but some investment in real fans would be required, IMHO. Still want a Fractal Torrent tho... lol 🤤
You can take a look at JONSBO’s TK1/TK2, which is a complete curved glass chassis.
This case is actually pretty crazy, can I fit a 280mm aio on the front ?
Getting this maybe. I9 11900f with a rtx 3060ti
Here's an odd question ... I'm just across the border from you guys in NY. Where do you get PC equipment in MTL ? Are there any good retailers ?
I own this case only went for white as dont like black interiors, if there where options with white internals I might have chosen differently
What do you think about the GAMEKM Genki Bomb Pc Case ? It is € 85 but looks futuristic with good airflow in a small form-factor !
Did you flip the fans when you moved the front bracket, because your temps wildly differ from mine?
Same, I rebuilt mine on Friday, in the 95 pro, and even under test load, mine are nowhere near those temps. I'm not using the swiveled fans or mesh front either.
yes ofc 👍 Temps might differ based on hardware, so comparing mine to yours is not really relevant. What's relevant is the difference between stock and front-intake. Curious tho, what are your temps like?
-D.
@@HardwareCanucks GPU 4090 is 72 Under heavy load. CPU i7 13700K using 360 arctic 2 So it never goes over 80 when really pushed. In my old case the 4090 was pushing 80👍🏼
Montech is super impressive. A good budget case is the difference between a 'dirt cheap' build and a budget build. Montech helped me give my budget build a personality and give it some flare. not to mention the great cooling. I use the Montech Air 100. I built my first PC ever in it. I am definitely upgrading to another montech product. I hope they copy the ThermalTake tower design and give their good ol' montech twist.
can't wait for this to come out in australia TAT
Went with the Hyte Y70. Dual chamber design and that front 4K touchscreen is pure next level.
Perhaps in another life Montech.
And i guess thats also 120 bucks aye?
@@Vismajor01 120 bucks matters only if you're a Broke Boi. 😆
At 5:22, is that orange dial from a Citizen ECO drive or a Seiko Auto SRPD59K? ❤
I never understood the craze behind fish tank cases. Each to their own but I would like a good old fashion steel/ mesh case with no transparent sidepanel. Mid and high tower.
It's for those that want to build a show piece rather than a function over form. I've spent way too much on my PC just to make it look pretty and I'm the only person that sees it. Womp womp lol.
Nice case for an aio but these fish tank cases suck for air cooling
wow man!!! replace stock fans with be quiet light wings or something. i need to re watch your guys fan video again for this case.
This or the NZXT H6?
What's the TLDR differences between the pro and non pro version?
Inclusion of fans I think
4x 120 fans and 2x 140 fans and fan controller
PRO has 6 fans (1x 120 regular, 3x 120 reversed, 2x 140 reversed and a fan hub for ARGB and power). The non-pro doesn't have the fans or the hub, but still has the integrated soft light strip at the front.
-D.
I'm still loving my Lian Li 011 Air Mini. I've kept my computer away from me as I don't care about what is inside my computer. I'm pretty much not a target market for those who don't care for tempered glass.
I want the air mini. I have the dynamic evo and want to downsize. Microcenter has the air mini with a tempered glass version
So, i may be wrong here because ive only worked with glass a few times, but i do think the story would have been different if you hadnt used the mousepads, why? Because glass wants to get rid of all that energy and stress and the mousepads dampen the transfer so its not able to, how do i know this? Well, i have had to make custom glass pieces a few times and the first couple i would put a carpet or something under or around the glass, and that would make it explode when bending or cutting, once i figured that out i never broke another sheet of glass lol.
Then again, glass is scary so no one can blame you for trying it this way lol.
not true at all. glass is hard, tempered glass is even harder. hard means no flex, no moving energy. it absorbs all it can, until it cant, then it breaks. without the pad it only wouldve broken faster because padding softens the blow, spreads the force out better than asphalt
To be honest, I put the pads as a precaution for my tires lol Looking at the video on Montech's website, you can clearly see they are riding on standard asphalt, which would introduce micro chipping points for the glass and I even thought having something softer under the glass would prevent it scraping on my driveway. But anyway, hope they remove that part from their marketing.
-D.
This case is cool, but I really like my Phanteks NV7.
The problem is that I suspend my computers below my sit/stand desk. I love the O11 mini-air and the O11 Evo because the fit nicely in some of the better designed mounts. This case, as much as I love a lot about it, just simply will not fit. That is a hard no-go for me.
😏 i have both those models 👍
having the option for two power supplies is neat but i dont know how youd be able to use both of them, even if you dedicate it to a gpu it still needs a start signal from the motherboard
Especially on the non-pro, it's better to remove that hdd compartment and mount a single psu in the upper position. That gives you a space with a large flat plate in the lower position to mount fan and aRGB splitters.
can take a look at tecware vxm its a budget case with reserve included rgb case fans
Can you give us a MMX 200 review?
