@@liamconverse8950That is what you think, i have the case now for 3 months I barely see dust inside the case. Maybe over a year it might become more but for 6-12 months there is barely any dust at all. Also I have my case on a table and not on the floor and I painted wood and put it underneath to elevate the case for even more airflow(its used wood I found in the field).
They did a lot of things right with this case. The screw holes on the top being too large is strange, but the airflow really does look good. With a larger CPU heatsink (like a 4 heatpipe tower), it could definitely hold a 5600X to nice temps. One of the best budget cases, I would say. Thumbs up.
my 5600x with that slim little stock cooler in a msi gungnir 110m with stock fans didn't go over 60C hotspot. ever. that is hotspot cpu temp. and gungnir 110m is not an expensive case, less then 100$, shipping, import tax and 4 fans included. besides, montech does not ship to my country and no regional reselers exist for them. if i was ever excluding all other options then them, i would still go for their x3 just because i could overpressure the heck out of it with triple 14cm fans up front. it is a fairly large box but, damn that must feel like a hurricane when it starts. put some arctic p14 or kaze flex 140 and just wait for liftoff.
Can confirm that the airflow is fantastic. I run a Ryzen 7 5700G overclocked at 4.3Ghz, and it never goes above 70C. Recently upgraded my CPU cooler as well and the temps are even better. It's a fantastic case, especially for the price. For comparison, with my old case's poor airflow, the temps would regularly reach 85-90C.
I'd much rather see a tower cooler used in a budget case review, especially in a smaller case like this. They're cheap enough to be a common thing in budget cases, and the bulk of the HS could potentially affect fitment and temps.
Thank you so much for using Borderlands 3 in the testing! I personally think its a great game for testing. Also, great job on the build as always, and ill be waiting for the next one. Keep up the great work!
Those were some great "CLICKS!" installing the RAM. As far as the case, after your review I am looking at it for my girlfriends build when I get around to it.
Hey I recently finished a build with this but I can’t get the argb to work, it just won’t light up. I connected the argb input wire to the jrainbow1 header on my B550 pro vdh Wi-Fi motherboard but it won’t work. Any tips??
can't find this case anywhere other than the lite model and even the link in the video description is for an ATX mid-tower by montech can anyone find the original with the pre-installed fans?
It's ARGB so you can set it in whatever the software is for your motherboard. I had the same question actually...haha...you just hit the reset button on the case and it will use whatever software you are using for the ARGB. I was scratching my head trying to figure that out and I thought I didn't connect something correctly on on the MB.
I’m about to cry cause this is better than my 100 dollar case 😭
I know right!
It doesn't look like it has much in the way of dust protection though, I mean just when I look at it on the internet
@@liamconverse8950 if we can game for 8hr sessions, I think we can take 30mibs to clean our systems

I spent a ton of time looking for a matx case like this. Found one that's on sale in microcenter. Buying it now! Thanks for the recommendation!!
all good? easy setup?

For those wondering, the case can actually fit a 360mm aio in the front. I tried it with my nzxt x73 and it has just enough room to fit it in.

Just picked up one of these in Taiwan...man it's fantastic and I'm surprised they haven't put the price up. Solid deal.
Can you change the color of the stock rgb fans that come with it?
@@SheLuvzFear Yeah, you can use the switch on the case to change it to preconfigured colors or control it through the board with ARBG.

You are very welcome!!!
@@RobeytechLive hey Robytech, how many cases does it come with?
Would totally use that case in a build!
Outside of the potential screw issue it really is an easy case to build in.
I want you to do a build on a MONTECH AIR 903 MAX. The best value for money box of 2023. Thank you
Are the pre-built fans any good?
I love Robey.. thank for da information.
My pleasure
Mmmm! Sparkling Ice
My 7 year old daughters pc we built together has the same specs, except the Vision gpu card. Very nice
Awesome build 👍
Glad you like it
How do you control the rgb?
There's a button on the top case
Those were some great "CLICKS!" installing the RAM. As far as the case, after your review I am looking at it for my girlfriends build when I get around to it.
Agreed, and we all love good RAM clicks!
Got the lite version on sale for 40 bucks and I'll be picking up an Arctic P12 value pack for 30 dollars. Not bad at all
I bought mine yesterday from Amazon for $66. Where did you get yours for $40?
Lian Li Dynamix XL looks great, but building a computer with 10 fans on this case is a pain in the a**
VERY true!
Why did you change the fans ?
Hey, i have a question if you don't mind
CH370 vs Montech Air 100? (If CH370 which fan cases should i pick on a budget)
Every time a new build made interesting on your channel .....bell button "All" done
hi, can i fit a 240mm radiator with fans on the top of this case with enough clearance for two argb ram sticks?
If HDD tray removed, could we instal 18 cm PSU on it?
Woah I just got this on my reccomended
btw im second
Hope you enjoyed it!!
@@RobeytechLive It was an amazing video Im think about getting this case
Hey I recently finished a build with this but I can’t get the argb to work, it just won’t light up. I connected the argb input wire to the jrainbow1 header on my B550 pro vdh Wi-Fi motherboard but it won’t work. Any tips??
Robey
Why do you not do paint jobs on you builds?
thank god i watch this before check out my $100 cart
Did it help?
wait is that rgb xpg plate?
I just got this case, I'm just a bit lost on the connections. I didn't see a "pwr sw" only "reset sw qs".
How do you install the rgb for the fan
posible to fit in gigabyte z790 Aorus Elite Wifi 7 motherboard? size 305mm x 244mm.
does it possible to mounting GPU vertical with this case?
You missed the 280mm top mount
Quick question, I have the same GPU and mine doesn't light up the EVGA logo. How do you enable that? Thanks in advance!
bro got rejected/ignored 🤣🤣🤣🤣
can't find this case anywhere other than the lite model and even the link in the video description is for an ATX mid-tower by montech can anyone find the original with the pre-installed fans?
got this for $45 here in the Philippines (Lazada)
Does the pcie expansion slot reusable or you can reuse it after you take it off?
Late but you can't reuse it. It just break once and you're done with it.
Thanks
You're Welcome!
✌
montech air 100 vs deepcool macube 110? which one i should buy?
Airflow vs oven? What do u choose?
Can you use a mini itx motherboard with this case?
Yep!
Could you help me build my dream pc if not i love your vids anyways rock on!
please put subtitle option in brazilian portuguese
How about learn english my guy
@@allnighterist thanks for the tip
Aquela pesquisada sobre o gabinete de lei kkkk
@@12POR1 desse jeito, pena que já acabou kkk, só tem com fans
@@neeto279 pagar 80 a mais pelas 4 fans vale demais
The only thing I don't like this case is because the top part stay strange without filter
There's a magnetic air filter on the top of the case and at the bottom below the PSU.
I did a 360 mm on the front of my Case 😭
Rgb m.2 .. more fps
For sure!!
I'm NOT A BOT!!!
I programmed you to say that.
@@RobeytechLive if I were a bot, what am I thinking about right now?
How do you set the fans to one colour ?

damn good...I mean the review 😂❣️
since when was $75 budget lollll
When you look at best sellers most cases that are sub $100 (and the LITE version is only $55) are in budget builds.
I don't consider a 100+dollar case, specially a micro one, to be "budget".
69th like nice
