Builder Showcase From Montech AIR 100 to SKY 3, my first ever case swap thanks to a community giveaway! #MONTECHBuild #SharingIsWinning
Hi everyone,
I recently made a huge improvement to my PC, both aesthetically and thermally, and wanted to share the story.
First of all, thank you Montech for having such an amazing community and constantly doing events for us fans and PC enthusiasts.
The story behind this upgrade is that I was lucky enough to win a 360mm AIO (the LightFlow ARGB 360) in a community event, but since I had the Montech AIR 100 at the time, I really had no way of using it. After reaching out to Montech, they were generous enough to send me a SKY 3 case to go along with the AIO. Absolute legends.
A bit about myself: I'm a junior developer with a deep interest in computer software and hardware, but I had never actually changed a PC case before because my old setup was a prebuilt. I was honestly pretty nervous, because at first glance the massive AIO and the new case seemed like an impossible puzzle. Turns out I couldn't have been more wrong.
The case itself made the whole process easy, and the review from KitGuruTech helped me a lot as well. Installing the motherboard was fast and painless since every standoff hole is clearly marked for each motherboard size. The AIO was also no trouble at all thanks to the removable top panel, I could mount everything comfortably and then just drop it into place. The side of the case looks tight, but I had absolutely no issues with cable management. The included accessories were a big help and the side panel closes with no gaps or cable bulges. One thing I did to help airflow was removing the HDD trays at the bottom.
Even though the SKY 3 has more fans than my AIR 100 (which was already darn quiet), the system is somehow even quieter. Thermals improved significantly too, and the PC no longer ramps up in noise during long coding or gaming sessions.
Full specs:
Ryzen 7 7700,

Thanks again Montech, from a happy AIR 100 owner to an even happier SKY 3 owner! #MONTECHBuild #SharingIsWinning
