💨 Montech AIR Cooler 210, High Performance 210W TDP, ARGB CPU Cooler, Powerful Cooling Solution with Six Heat Pipes, Sleek All Black Design Review

I'm a keen air cooler enthusiast and used the Montech theme in my latest build. I chose this tower cooler for my mATX build paired with a white Montech case and a Montech power supply. Slightly lesser known brand but excellent value for money and I have not been disappointed. The fan is attached to the heatsink with simple wire clips, meaning you can easily swap out the fan for any 120mm fan you need. The kit also includes extra clips so you can add a second fan for better cooling performance…

Surprised at the build quality here. The unit I received was well made, came with thermal paste, and was relatively easy to install. Some notes; A cocking screw is hidden by a Phillips head screw at the top of the turret. The tension springs ensure a decent recoil, so it takes some force to hook the screws into the supplied mainboard bracket. To avoid disappointment, start by threading one screw and a few turns the other before tightening. I found that using the pea-sized dot method I could get

My unit was slightly defective - one of the holes in the top (which gives access to one of the screws that will eventually attach the cooler to the motherboard bracket) was misaligned by about 0.25 inches, making it impossible to actually turn the propeller. Support didn't help and replied (on the photos I've attached to this review): The orientation in the photo is consistent with the original design and is not misaligned." Using a hex key, the top cap (the one made of thick Aluminum is made…

The LEDs on the fan didn't work the day I got the fan and Montek apologized. Don't think they're based in the US, which means they'll take a few days to reply to something simple. The cooler works well, I just wish my computer was lit the way I wanted it.

This cooler is perfect for nr200p with glass panel. I was very impressed with how well it cooled the Ryzen 5800x. I have 36 degrees in idle, about 70 in games and at maximum load with all cores 4.6 it fluctuates around 77 degrees. I didn't use the fan that came with it. Instead I installed a Lian LI sl120 unifan in the front and a Scythe kaze flex slim in the back. The fans are used as intakes (I also have a custom air filter on the back) with Kaze at 1250 rpm static and Unifan at 65 percent…

I used this to replace my stock AMD air cooler. I thought the standard CPU cooler did its job well enough, but the difference between it and the Montech air cooler is huge. With 6 heatpipes it's no wonder how well it does. The instructions were a little skimpy, but if you've swapped out air coolers before, it's pretty intuitive. Comes with a tube of thermal paste and a screwdriver for installation.
