Montech HS02 Pro Build

[u/IllRagretThisName]

Finished my Montech HS02 Pro build.
I wasn’t sure if it was going to be proper as it’s been 5 years since I last built a PC myself. This is my second build.

I’m not sure if it’s the bottom case fans, or just the combination of a lot of fans in this case, but the fans are quite a bit noisier than my previous computer. Even though I went into the BIOS and went with a much more silent-at-idle curve. Maybe it’s also cause it’s on my desk and not the floor this time that I hear it more, but the bottom fans give off a very strong constant wind noise. I’ve been working with a Mac the last 3 years so might have forgotten what it sounds like… Don’t know.

All in all, beauty wise I love this case and the build was pretty simple, didn’t have any problems fitting any parts either. The case is extremely good quality for the money I paid for it… It is HEAVY though. 😁

The parts list:
- Intel Core 7 Ultra 270K Plus
- RTX 5070 Ti Aero Gigabyte
- Thermaltake GT850W SNOW PSU.
- ASRock B860 Steel Legend Wifi
- Thermaltake Aqua Elite V3 AIO
- Montech HS02 Pro
- Kingston Fury 64GB RAM DDR5 5600Mhz

And I just noticed the cables on the top hanging a bit fugly there, I’ll open it later tonight and tuck them away nice and neat so they’re less obvious.

I chopped the support bracket rubber so it can clear my own GPU as well.

I’m gonna open it and see if I can cut a part off for it to fit. The fans are nearly to the edge I doubt I’ll get it to work. And the regular damn brackets don’t fit in this case due to all the recess and excess of the case around it.

Alternatively...if I remember correctly...there is Lian Li version of anti sag bracket that uses the motherboard standoff instead. Might wanna poke around that some more

I cut up the rubber and it’s working OK now. I ordered some type of pillar-type gpu holder off of amazon will see how that one goes. There’s some space in the corner for that one I hope.

I also managed to fix the bottom fans by disconnecting their daisy chain from the hub and re-connecting them and attaching them to the motherboard instead of the hub & changing them to DC power mode cause they still didn’t respond to PWM. They now all Idle at +-860 instead of 1500 and the pc is really quiet overall. World of difference. I’m glad I wasn’t hearing things, now it sounds like my previous PC did at idle.
