The reason to build this, I was provide with an ASRock Sonic board and it was on my open bench while am using it. I couldn't find any chassis locally that will blend this board in. After being approach by Montech to review their King 95 Pro, I took the opportunity and I am fond of this case. What amazed me are the features and the thermal. More info about the case details and the thermal test I've done.

What was done
- I riped off the white sleeves from the Lian Li Galahad II LCD 280 hose and use white velcro to hold the hose in position. Reason for this, I wanted contrast.
- As I am not able to fit the Galahad II LCD 280 to the side tray in this chassis. I have done a push pull configuration. Yes, the Liquid AIO did fit but I am not able to slot my GPU Horizontally, therefore have to mount it vertically.
- Next, having 2 full sets of fans which I am able to swap out the white and black rubber grommets between the two sets of fans. Again I wanted contrast.
- DIY Crimping for the top and bottom fans, Daisy chained 3 fans to one connector so that I can plug the top and bottom fans to the respective motherboard chassis fan headers (CHA_FAN 2 and CHA_FAN 5)
- Plug rear fan to CHA_FAN1
- Plus all four radiator fans to the case fan & argb hub, plus the hub pwm cable to CPU_FAN
- Plug AIO pump directly to CPU_FAN2 and in UEFI change it to W_PUMP (2A)
- For step 4. to 7. Just wanted to have total control on fan curve and to make use of UFEI to do the PWM Fan curve.
- Plus fans and chassis lighting strip and chassis fans argb to the case fan & argb hub. All are controlled by the button on the case.
- As for the Pump argb, using L-Connect to control the ARGB effects.
- Done some alertation on the LCD Image (Sonic) with rotation readings of CPU, GPU and Coolent Temp.
- Cable management is very easy, so long you tie down cables properly, it will be super neat.
- I have removed the HDD Cage and the side front swivel tray to have more ventilation. Especially the side swivel tray where more air will be pulled by my radiator fans.
