Finished Looks

In terms of aesthetics, the Montech Air Cooler 210 looks pretty nice when looking at just the cooler. However, once installed, it's a bit more stealthy looking with the ARGB lighting disabled. Yet from a front 3/4 view, the white fan blades add some visual appeal thanks to the added contrast. It is the same with the Montech logo, which helps keep the cooler from disappearing, especially in an all-black build.


In terms of memory and graphics card clearance, there were no issues on the Intel and AMD platforms. However, as these are full-size motherboards, there could be clearance issues on Mini-ITX platforms or older systems where the first expansion slot lines up with the first slot in the chassis. In that situation, the cooler would conflict. However, in modern builds, with the rise of M.2 SSDs, chances of that happening are much slimmer.


When it comes to everyone's must-have, can't forget it, love it, or hate it feature, ARGB lighting on the Montech Air Cooler 210 is rather minimal as it is limited to the fan. Depending on your tastes, this could be good or bad. Either way, the color is pretty uniform, and I noted no hitches or issues between color changes. The only issue I did note was that blue wasn't entirely blue. It had a slight purple tint. However, that was correctable via the motherboard ARGB synchronization software.
