Montech Metal DT24 Premium Air Cooler

[crazyeyesreaper]

Montech has entered the heavyweight cooler market with their all new Metal DT24 Premium. This monster of a cooler may not take the performance crown, but it does offer an impressive price to performance ratio that pairs well with its visually appealing design.

Lookalikea cooler...

..Soundalikea cooler....

.....Smellalikea cooler.....

Guess what: it IS a cooler, albeit a rather large one

As big as it is, why is it limited to only 6 heat pipes.... just wondering cause it looks like there is room for several moar (clearance/fit issues notwithstanding) ?

Law of diminishing returns.

@crazyeyesreaper any chance we could get you to review these- Themalright Peerless Assassin 120 and the new Phantom Spirit 120 SE, ta

Do the fans have a phasing resonance?
Too many cheap dual-fan towers suffer from noise/resonance where the two fans don't have perfectly-matched RPMs but also are close enough that there's a phasing drone at several speeds.

I haven't experienced it with the NH-D15, but perhaps that's a combination of exceptionally well-balanced fans and sturdy construction.

Perfect compatibility with memory: Only aslong as you don't use dimms with heatsinks

From the 1st page image, looks like a lack of innovative chunk of RGB slapped on top.....a putt-off.

Although i admit, from the "finished looks" section of the review there's something appealing about that black hole (square) with minimal lighting around the outer boundary. But nah, the thick lit up side profile putt-off outweighs the would-be nice minimalistic finish.

I didn't get to the performance part... RGB killed it. Nice to see Montech in the heavyweight division though.

Great to see MONTECH step up their game and bring high performance products.
They alawys have great value products.

Again another big, heavy and expensive chunk of metal on par with CM212 what is wrong with this incompetent cooling manufacturers? But of course it gets "Highly recommended" by TPU

On par with CM212 ? Did you just lose your mind? Look at the chart ! Use your chunk of brain.

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

on par with a CM212 you say... huh???? what??? can I have some of what your smoking please?

Sure at stock there might not be much difference but in the higher TDP / OC tests. its pretty large margin and the overall relative performance shows minor differences due to stock and OC results being included.

Stock blender AMD chart - 1C less than 212, OC blender - 4 more than D15, 5 less than 212. Nice one for 1.6kg cooler. Nice downgrade 10 years later
I won't comment the Intel's chart, 10900k? Its time to update the system with something that is not stuck in the 14nm loop

I dig the style and performance similar to a D15. Fans are a little loud, but probably acceptable given it's cooling capability.

This should have been tested on Ryzen 9 7950X just to see if such extreme air cooler can sustain the heat from AMD's latest power hog.

Law of diminishing returns.

How? They can split the load to more smaller coolers connected to a single or dual vapour chambers. Innovation, bro, innovation and new solutions.

I agree with the member above that six heat pipes is not ok.

 

[BlaezaLite]

I want the Montech metal basic, same cooler but no RGB and cheaper price. Or the AK620. Too many good coolers nowadays.

The extra cooling you get with a 7th pipe is (probably) not proportional to the manufacturing cost of adding the 7th pipe. So you end up making the cooler more expensive just to say "It's got 7 heatpipes!" Not a great plan at the price point this thing was designed to hit.

they could have gotten away with 6 x 8mm heatpipes though atleast that would have worked better than the 6mm ones they did use

I'm more interested in the fans themselves, and how they'd stack up compared to the old guard GTs, A12x25s, T30s, BeQuiet's new Pros, Thermaltake's copies, Vardars, and MSI's versions (MEG Silents). It seems that more and more fan makers are shifting into the entry-industrial level aesthetic of 120mm fan design (larger hub motors and steeper pitched blades, just with a touch of customization).

Looks suspiciously similar to my cpu cooler, the ak620. (Except the color scheme and the rgb on top.)
