r/MontechPC

Well this sucks to be writing.

An hour ago I finished my first ever PC build, consulting a general pc building video, a video specific to the King 96 Pro, and my product manuals. As I plugged in the computer and turned it on to check for fans, rgb, and any mobo issues, my computer starts to smell, and I turn everything off just as a tuft of smoke billowed out the back.

Look around back and I see one of Montech's preinstalled cables had started melting. There are so many preinstalled cables, and I am such a noob, that I can't figure out what exactly this cable even is. It's split from another cable that I plugged into the ADD Gen 2 headers on my motherboard. Curiously only the *middle* of the 5 wires melted.

I had this one plugged into the SPDIF but I'm thinking... was it supposed to go into the 4 pin to its right? I got confused because the 1/3/4 style of the header seemed to match the 1/3/4 layout of the SPDIF pins. Google is telling me the voltage difference might melt thin wires...

I'm reaching out to Montech to figure out what the hell happened officially, but in the mean time, am I at fault, am I cooked, and is this fixable? The cable started to heat up those bundled around it, but none of them appear to have melted, maybe their rubber outsides are a little miscolored. Likewise when I booted the PC up everything else seemed great; all 9 fans were spinning, all RGB was on, and the motherboard showed a green light on its diagnostic panel. I have not tried turning it on since. Is this the case of a replaceable cable, or could this have royally fucked up the rest of the King 95's hub and/or other components? Thanks.

Hey all,

Mounted this NX600 ARGB yesterday and it's not straight. I'm getting good temps and everything (55-65° while gaming) so I assume its fine but has anyone else experienced this? I followed the directions for an AM4 mount.

Any feedback is appreciated, thanks!

Hey guys,I wanna rebuild my childhood pc but I can't find this case,I don't know what model this is,does someone know exacly what model is this?And no,its not an cooler master wave master,not an Soprano and not a cooler master cavalier.Please if someone knows what model it is exacly please tell me.Thank you!

My pc is my life!😭
Its a long journey building this PC scrach by scratch!!!
So here goes the story, I technically convinced my father that I need a PC for my study and It would be better for him as well if he gets to do some office work in home sometimes. But duhh!!! my intesion was always playing video games 🤣🤣
So I built a PC with comparatively low cost to avoid any suspicion and without a GPU of course. so it had (msi B650m-b, 16gb ram, ryzen 7600, 1tb ssd 650watt psu and yeah MONTECH SKY TWO 💙🫡)
It was very beautiful 😭and I chose it the first glimse I saw it 😭!!! cz in my head knew I will change all parts gradually so I need to buy a cool case.
After couple of months, I completed my graduation and went for my internship! and there I made some good amount of bucks to buy a GPU PNY rtx 5060ti 😎 and a cool looking Cpu cooler(1stplayer Mothra 240). So I asked my parents If I could bring My PC to my campus. That would be great for my study 😉!! and I did.
After that I created craft myself and bought some cool toys for my decoration as I am an aesthetic freak 🥴😪!
Later after saving more money for about a year I upgraded my PSU to 850 watt, GPU to MSI 5070 ti 💙, and Mobo to asrock pro 850m-b!!!

Recently MONTECH gave me away their HYPERFLOW 360. 🤩🥳 I am very excited to attach it to my PC but not getting enough time to test and run it properly. 😔😪
How does it feel not have enough time to spend your beloved hobby (gaming)!!! growing up is a scam guys!😔

Anyways,
Thank u guys for reading my story!
Hope u like it and hoping to hear from u too guys!! take love love love 💙💙💙💙

The rest of the components are

CPU: I7-9700K

Motherboard: Asus ROG Z390-F

RAM: 32GB DDR4 3200MT/S CL15

GPU: RTX 3080 10GB

PSU: XPG Kyber 750W

Overall really good components for dirt cheap I mean AIO with 5 years warranty for 55€?! I take that deal any day

The Montech TG3 is also cheaper that the previous Montech XR which was already a great case to build in :)

PowerColor Reaper 9070 XT

Ryzen 7 5700X3D

Montech PureFlow 360 ARGB

Montech Century II 850W

Corsair Vengeance 32GB DDR4

B550 ASUS PRIME

Anyone knows if there is any way to put the Corsair Air 5400 in that PC Mount? Or any other alternative?

Upgraded all the montech and aio cooler fans to Corsair iCue Link LX120 fans. I absolutely love it 😼

MONTECH’s TG3 puts the focus on showcasing your hardware without going overboard on RGB.

With panoramic tempered glass, a stepped interior, reverse-connector motherboard support, four included fans, and room for up to a 360mm radiator, the TG3 packs plenty into its $60 price point.

How does it perform in a real build?

We've been really enjoying the flexiblity of what a Montech case brings to our PC building experience! Whether it's custom watercooling, AIO cooling, or air cooling, it all works out really well.

For the value of what each case brings, it makes a ton of sense for why someone should consider a Montech case in their future. Hope you enjoy some of our recent builds!

My PC journey started in 2020 with a simple ₱5,000 all-in-one PC. I only used it for basic work, but even then, I dreamed of one day building a PC that I could truly be proud of.

In 2024, that dream became real when I built my first custom PC with the Montech King 95 Pro. Seeing everything come together inside that case was incredibly fulfilling—it felt like watching a dream finally take shape.

Then in 2025, my focus shifted to sports and competitive pickleball. It became a huge part of my life, until an injury this year forced me to slow down and spend more time at home. It was a difficult and frustrating change.

That’s when I found myself coming back to my PC.
I thought about rebuilding everything from scratch, but I decided to keep my Montech case and simply build around it. Upgrading the system while keeping the same case somehow felt special—it was a reminder of how far I had come.
Today, this PC is more than just a gaming or work setup. It has become my little space to relax, create, and heal.
Every time I look at my Montech King 95 Pro, I’m reminded that I started with a simple ₱5,000 PC and slowly built my way here.

Sometimes, life makes us pause. But we can always rebuild—and we don’t always have to start from zero. ❤️

The Montech King 95 Pro has been part of my journey from the beginning, and I’m glad I kept it.

Guys I have received Hyperflow AIO giveaway from Montech 😻💋
I haven’t unboxed it yet but I am here to show my love and Gratitude for r/montech 😭😍🥰 Keep shining and Bring us cool gadgets 😭💋

I was browsing through cases online and found the Sky 3 available for £60. Even with the 2 extra RX120 Pro reverse blade fans that I bought for £8 each it's still great value. The modular PSU/fan shroud is a nice idea and the integrated fan & ARGB hub is always nice to have.

The rotated PSU layout is handy for cable access, but if the PSU is the max length-160mm- then clearance is limited to 40mm to the side panel, just thought I'd mention it in case anyone is considering buying it. My PSU is the Corsair RM1000x 2024.

Another thing to mention is the HDD trays located below the fans. I use 2x HDDs, and though the fitment was simple, it doesn't leave a lot of room for tucking in cables anywhere, especially with the long PSU.

But airflow to the GPU (3090) seems to be fine, it's sitting in the low 70s in most games at 1440p high settings. The CPU (12900KF) runs a little hotter than back to front airflow cases that I've used, but it's all well within normal and safe temps. An AIO might work better in a case like this, perhaps with the rear fan set to intake, which I might try at some point.

Overall I'm quite happy with it. Great value case and the included fans go as low as 600 RPM, which for their price isn't bad at all, I can get it very quiet for just typical desktop use outside of gaming.

Hello all. I upgraded my rig recently and decided to go with the above case. I also bought additional Montech RGB fans to run across the top of the case.
Montech AC 120 PWM.
It’s using the following:
i7 14700k
32 GB DDR-4 Corsair Pro RAM
RTX 5060ti 16 GGB DDR-7 triple fan OC
MSI Pro Gaming WIFI mobo
Montech NX600 aRGB for the CPU cooler.

I’d needed a new upgrade for quite some time and I was finally able to do it within the last month.
I thoroughly recommend this case, it was an amazing experience building this.
I’ve built my own PC’s for years and this was just as easy. The case has plenty of room at the back of the motherboard tray and I’m just waiting for some new leads to do better cable management.
The cooler is brilliant at keeping the temps down but it can get loud when on higher RPM’s.
Thank you and I’ll add a little video of the RGB and top fans later on. 😎👍🏻
