Montech King 45 Pro case review: Stylish and affordable, with an emphasis on GPU temperatures

Designed to keep your GPU temps as cool as possible, Montech’s King 45 Pro includes three reversed-blade RX120 Pro fans with an angled intake at the bottom of the case.

The RX120 Pro intake fans (and the RX120 Pro exhaust fan) are new from Montech, and aren’t yet available for purchase independently of this case – though we expect they’ll be available for individual order soon. As of this writing, their exact technical specifications haven’t been made available, but Montech claims a 10% airflow improvement – assuming that claim is in contrast to the non-Pro AX120 fan, which has a maximum airflow rating of 59CFM, that would mean these Pro fans support up to 64.9CFM.

The rest of the inner design is fairly minimalist, with just enough room for all of your components. You can see the PSU cage in the front right in the image above. Some users may enjoy the direct routing of the PSU cables, which shorten the travel distance of cables from the PSU as shown below.

Below the PSU cage is a metallic silver Montech badge, and the angled front intake fans, which help cool the GPU. One exhaust fan is located at the rear, and a 360mm radiator or three additional fans can be installed at the top.

The IO panel is located at the bottom front of the case. It features a combined audio /mic jack, one USB-C port, two USB-A ports, and a reset button. The power button features ARGB lighting.

The case incorporates an easily removable dust filter at the bottom, and has four feet for support and to ensure proper ventilation.

There’s another point of interest in the bottom’s design. One side features a raised portion to help facilitate airflow through the angled intake fans.

The front of the case showcases the IO panel, an ARGB lighting strip, and the wrap-around ARGB lighting when you include the fans.

For the most part, if you’ve seen the back of one computer case, you’ve seen them all. You have your standard seven PCI-e slots and the exhaust fan. What’s different with the King 45 Pro is the power connection at the top, which connects to the PSU in the front, and the PCIe cover on the side.
