Introduction

Montech is a relative newcomer in the DIY PC space, with the brand having been established in 2016. They officially entered the US market in 2019 and have been expanding into other regions ever since. As a new brand, they don't have the loyal following or a long history or legacy to live up to. Instead, they have a clean slate from which to build their brand identity. In the company's own words, they seek "to create a new brand of their own focused on engineering, design, quality, and reasonable pricing to better serve their consumers."


In this review, I look at one of Montech's first CPU coolers, the Air Cooler 210. This first offering is a typical single-tower design that utilizes a 120 mm ARGB fan. However, rather than being a simple aluminium tower with copper heat pipes, the company decided to try and make their mark, so to speak, by offering an all-black design with a solid top cover that boldly displays the company logo. Considering it packs six heat pipes and an offset design, It could be a solid performer, but as the results show, not everything goes as planned.
