      I have this case. I went from a very quiet case to this one. They are loud even when low in my opinion. However, since my CPU is liquid cooled and my GTX 4070 had good cooling, I run this with the front fans off and all is well.

      Montech have 3x140 rear and 1x120 front, preinstalled fans, Lian Li have 2x160 rear and 1x140 front. I m also researching which one is better for my new build. Lian li I think is slightly better, but there also difference in prices

    Quick question, do you need the rgb connector to be connected to the motherboard for the fans to spin? My motherboard doesnt have rgb headers it just has pwm.

      No go with the Lian Li.. the Montech fans ARE NOT PWM fans.. they are DC powered fans meaning you can't control them with software.. the 216 is only $100 and is vastly superior

      You would need to connect the cable from Fan controller to your motherboard and then use motherboard software to turn off. Alternatively you can just unplug ARGB cable from the controller

    • @A2KMedia
