We know Montech as finances case producer, the corporate has launched some spectacular lower-end chassis up to now – a few of which we’ve featured on the channel. But the brand new Montech King 95 Pro appears to be like like something however finances with options together with curved tempered glass, a relocatable facet fan bracket, an interchangeable entrance panel, six ARGB followers and an built-in 10-port ARGB PWM fan hub. How does it form as much as the opposite comparable twin chamber instances in the marketplace? Let’s discover out.

Thermal Performance Testing
To simulate thermal demand we run the Cinebench R23 multi-thread benchmark and 3DMark Speed Way stress take a look at concurrently in a loop for 60 minutes to completely load the system. This offers the CPU and GPU sufficient time to succeed in fixed steady-state temperature. With this knowledge, we are able to examine how the system handles the thermal demand and measure peak noise ranges.
Thermal efficiency is measured with the case in varied configurations, such because the default, with the tempered glass left-hand facet panel eliminated and with the entrance panel eliminated to see how these configurations have an effect on the CPU and GPU temperature. During testing, solely inventory case followers are used until in any other case specified. All water pumps are set to most RPM and followers are set to a customized RPM curve by the Motherboard software program/BIOS.
All temperature measurements are introduced as Deltas – which means the ambient temperature has been deducted from the CPU temperature giving us a Delta. Data proven within the charts symbolize the typical element temperature over the size of the take a look at as measured by HWiNFO after which the final quarter-hour of the information are calculated to get the typical. The ambient temperature throughout thermal assessments is between 19-21⁰C.

- Case followers – Stock
- Chassis – Montech King 95 Pro Blue
- Operating System – Windows 11
Thermal Performance Overview
With the case in its default configuration with all glass panels put in and the followers within the inventory areas the case does a superb job of maintaining each the CPU and GPU temperature beneath management. An common CPU temperature of round 70°C is regular for a twin chamber chassis with the 7950X and the GPU core temperature sat fortunately at a median delta temperature of 40°C which is good.
Removing panels induced little impact on CPU or GPU temperature however switching the followers to the entrance place from the facet and putting in the mesh entrance panel dropped the GPU core common by a few levels Celsius. However, it made no distinction to the typical CPU delta, so in both configuration the case appears to circulate air properly and retains a really high-end CPU and GPU mixture cool.
Closing Thoughts
Throughout the video assessment, I in contrast the King 95 Pro to the Lian Li O11D Evo and there is a good cause for this. Internally the King 95 is much like the O11D by way of the structure and options similar to the twin energy provide help and comparable cooling choices. The King 95 has a few its personal nifty options such because the rotating entrance fan bracket and curved glass. The inclusion of equipment just like the mesh entrance panel, ARGB followers and ARGB PWM fan controller are a pleasant bonus too.
In phrases of thermal efficiency the King 95 does an excellent job, it is ready to hold the CPU and GPU in our high-end take a look at system cool in each configurations, with the glass panels and facet followers or with the followers rotated to the entrance and the mash entrance panel put in. The included floor-mounted followers assist with GPU temperature and supply some good airflow to the entire system. Using the mesh entrance with entrance followers decreases GPU temperature however by solely a few levels so both configuration is okay.
Installing a system within the King 95 is a seamless course of, I didn’t encounter any points throughout the construct. I am unable to fairly put my finger on what it’s precisely but it surely appears simpler to construct within the King 95 than it does within the O11D, perhaps having the followers pre-installed and cables pre-routed helps however total it’s an incredible expertise constructing a system within the case, every part simply matches and works because it ought to. There’s loads of area to work and cable administration is straightforward.
So whereas there are similarities to the O11D there are a few issues which may make the Montech King 95/Pro a extra enticing proposition. One large benefit for the King 95 is the value, the O11D Evo launched with an MSRP of round $170 USD which it nonetheless sells for round that value now however doesn’t embrace followers, an ARGB fan hub or equipment such because the entrance mesh package. So the bottom King 95 that comes with out followers is less expensive and makes it an incredible finances various to the O11D Evo.
The Montech King 95 Pro in blue is priced at $169 USD MSRP, nevertheless, we’re uncertain on how UK pricing and availability will look if it arrives on our shores.
Pros:
- It’s a handsome case with all glass panels put in.
- Seamless system set up course of.
- Good cooling choices together with a number of radiator set up.
- The mesh entrance panel helps somewhat with GPU temperature.
- Price could be very aggressive in comparison with comparable dual-chamber rivals.
Cons:
- Build high quality/supplies are barely missing in some areas.
- Some distortion on the curved a part of the tempered glass.
KitGuru says: If you might be on the lookout for a twin chamber chassis, you need comparable options because the Lian Li 011D Evo however need to avoid wasting money… take a look at the Montech King 95, you may be shocked at simply how good it’s.
