Montech’s King 95 3D Pro has front, side and top glass, seven preinstalled RGB fans, and apparently no interest in subtlety. KitGuru’s Leo Waldock awarded the case 8.5/10, finding that all that glass didn’t stop it cooling well in his tested build. The less photogenic parts drew some complaints: basic cable management and slightly fiddly panel removal. Source
Glass up top, cooling down the side
According to KitGuru, the King 95 3D is 90mm taller than the original King 95 to accommodate a 360mm all-in-one liquid CPU cooler on the right-hand side. The layout also makes room for two rear 120mm fans instead of the usual one. Giving the hardware another viewing angle takes some rearranging. Source
The Pro package supplies seven preinstalled Link Fan INF 120 fans: three bottom intakes, two side intakes and two rear exhausts. A separately packed Lumi hub/controller is also included. Those fans provide infinity-mirror lighting. The liquid CPU cooler is not listed among the Pro package’s included items. Source
Motherboard support covers ATX, Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX, including rear-connection layouts that put cable connections behind the board. Source
Cooling results and build compromises
KitGuru tested with a Montech CyberFlow ARGB 360 liquid CPU cooler and a Palit GeForce RTX 5080 GameRock OC graphics card. Waldock reported that the case worked well under load despite his initial concern about the glass-heavy design. Source
In the review’s written account of its smoke test, air from the side intake fans headed directly toward the side-mounted liquid cooler. The graphics-card airflow was less clear: KitGuru couldn’t confidently distinguish whether it exhausted toward the rear or travelled upward to the cooler. Source
KitGuru found panel removal slightly fiddly and cable management basic. It also noted that a graphics card can obscure cable headers on conventional motherboards, while rear-connection boards still leave plenty of cables to tuck away. Moving the plugs backstage doesn’t make the backstage work disappear. Source
