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.

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.

@kirkdarling4120 4 ай бұрын

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.

@Jaylou88 6 ай бұрын

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 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

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 6 ай бұрын

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 6 ай бұрын

@@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. 🤞🏻😉

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!

@kirkdarling4120 4 ай бұрын

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.

Big youtubers doing same content are not even close and i am sure you will get at the top in no time if you continue like that. 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
