Box & Bundle
At the face of the box is a photo of the PSU with the modular panel in clear view, along with the uniquely designed fan grille. The three badges show the efficiency levels and the ten-year warranty.

The PSU has a nice exterior design, thanks to its fan grille and the stamped lines on the sides. The modular panel has eleven sockets in total, with one of them for the PCIe 5.0 connector, featuring 12+4 pins.
Cables

| Description | Cable Count | Connector Count (Total) | Gauge | In Cable Capacitors |

| 12+4 pin PCIe (600mm) (600W) | 1 | 1 | 16-24AWG | No |
| SATA (500mm+150mm+150mm+150mm) | 3 | 12 | 18AWG | No |

| AC Power Cord (1400mm) – C13 coupler | 1 | 1 | 18AWG | – |
The cables are long, and there are no in-cable caps, which might help ripple suppression but also make the cables less flexible. Besides the four 6+2 PCIe connectors on two cables, there is also a single 12VHPWR able to deliver up to 600W. Normally a 1000W ATX v3.0 PSU should be restricted to 450W on this connector, but nobody pays attention to this requirement because they don’t want users to complain that the power limits of their RTX 4090 cards are restricted to 450W. It is also nice to see thicker 16AEG gauges on high-amperage cables. On the other hand, although the distance between the SATA connectors is ideal at 150mm, this is not the case for the 4-pin Molex connectors.
Thankyou for your response.
I think I will go with Deepcool PX850G as it seems a good unit according to your review/testing (the 850W Montech Titan is £50 more expensive currently here in the UK).
Thanks for your hard work, love what you do.
Kind regards
anytime!
Hi Aris
Should the fact that this PSU failed one of your tests (transient response – 50% load, 3.3V) be of concern? And what does this mean in regards to everyday use for the average user.
Kind regards
The 3.3V rail is only lightly used by today’s PSUs, so it most likely won’t be a serious issue. But in any case, it would be better if it passed this test with success.
Hey Aris.
What do you think about Antec Signature line up?
I’m considering 1000w titanium or 1300w platinum unit. The price is decent here in Croatia. I saw your review of titanium unit back in 2020 and your opinion was positive!
Thanks for this review Aris!
Really strong showing, solid performance, here , from Montech. I didn’t expect that from an “outsider” .
With this, they are becoming a competitive option.
I PARTICULARLY liked the 150mm distance between the sata power connectors, FINALLY someone is listening and getting this thing right!
It sets is apart from the competition in my book.
Short distance between the sata can be frustrating even in midi cases.
That said, needs a little improvement here and there, but there’s nothing outright wrong with it.
Indeed someone listened finally, and put 150mm distance between peripheral connectors 🙂
I am choosing between Montech Titan Gold and Corsair RMx Shift, which one would you recommend?
It depends, if you need the side panel of the Shift. If not, you could save some money with the Montech unit since its normal price is around 170 dollars.
