Montech XR vs Sky 3 vs Others?
Posted by Sandman507@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 4 comments
In the research phase of pc cases. My last build was a Montech 903 Air Max, and I really liked it. I want to try something new.
Any reviews of the Montech XR or Sky3?
\~$100 rough budget, rbg fans are a pro (or add them later), 360 AIO req, decent airflow (9070xt and 9800x3d)
Thanks!

I was full blown team XR for the past year or so, for like $70 there was really very few options that were even worth considering at that price that had this feature set.
Last week I built in the V100r from Lian Li for the first time and that is my new go-to hands down. Compared to the other cases in the price range the quality is second to none as well as meeting all of your prerequisites. The metal is a higher gauge over the XR as well as having a far better coating to it. In comparison the XR feels cheap and flimsy.
9 fan mounts, 360mm rad support as well as plenty of space to fit even the largest of GPUs.
lmao I feel like a walking v100r billboard at this point, but the praise was well earned for only $75.

both are solid but they’re aimed at slightly different builds
XR is more of a looks-first case glass panel, wood accent, comes with RGB fans and supports a 360 AIO, but airflow is just decent not amazing
Sky 3 is more focused on actual performance better airflow layout, more flexible inside, easier to get good temps especially with high-end parts
for something like a 9800x3d + 9070xt I’d just go Sky 3 and not think twice
XR would still work, it just makes more sense for midrange builds where temps aren’t as demanding

Great advice. Sky 3 it is!
