Introduction

Telon Co., Ltd. is a Taiwanese company that has been around for over 30 years, with a background in the PC industry as a design and engineering firm in addition to supplying the occasional OEM help. It introduced a house brand—Montech—in 2016 to focus on the PC gaming market. Montech started out in the domestic market before slowly expanding overseas and this happened simultaneously with an aggressive marketing campaign that has resulted in several product reviews here on TechPowerUp already. You will notice that the vast majority of these are to do with PC cases and CPU coolers and today we examine a recently released Montech product that comes in a different category altogether.


As evident by now, the Montech AX120 is a 120 mm fan that features RGB lighting. This has become the norm rather than the exception in the past year, with PC case fans aiming to address the easier goal of adding LEDs on fans to meet consumer demands—there doesn't seem to be as much interest in pure performance-driven fans. What does make the AX120 more interesting to me is that it doesn't cost a lot either. In fact, I made it a point to not look at the cost of the fans until after I had finished testing them, only to then be pleasantly surprised. It comes in two color options and there is also a version with a reversed fan blade design! Let's thank Montech for providing review samples to TechPowerUp as we begin our coverage with a look at the product specifications in the table below.
