Montech Sky 3 - Loads of RGB and some clever stuff, plus a problem

Описание: We saw the Montech Sky 3 Glass at Computex 2025 however it has taken nine months for the case to finally launch. There have been a few changes along the way and the 'Glass' part of the name has been ditched so perhaps we will never see the promised Mesh version. Regardless, this is an interesting compact ATX case that is packed with features and comes at a budget price.

Testing
To put this case through its cooling paces we will be using a test system consisting of an AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D, Palit RTX 5080 and an SSD. This system allows us to produce a substantial amount of heat and effectively test the Montech Sky 3‘s cooling capabilities.

CPU Cooler: Montech HyperFlow ARGB 360
Motherboard: MSI MAG X870E Tomahawk WiFi PZ
Memory: 32GB G.Skill TridentZ5 Royal Neo DDR5-800
Graphics card: Palit GeForce RTX 5080 Gamerock OC 16GB
Power supply: Montech Titan PLA 1000W
SSD: Crucial T700 M.2 NVMe Gen 5

You can buy the Montech Sky 3 for $89.99 in Black or White

Pros:
Loads of access for your PC build
Two choices for the location of your power supply
Easy to dismantle and remove the various components
Glass panels at the front and side look very neat and clean

Cons:
Not enough cable clearance inside the right hand panel for Project Zero
Half of the screws on the PSU and fan shrouds are awkward to reach when the motherboard is installed.
The Sky 3 is about 5mm too small in height and about 15mm too narrow.
