Product Name: BETA 2 850W
Manufacturer: MONTECH
MSRP: US$69.90

Today, we examine one of the more affordable Bronze-rated ATX 3.1 power supplies available with a native 12V-2x6 connector — the MONTECH BETA 2 ATX 3.1 850W. Positioned as a cost-conscious option for modern gaming systems, it offers native support for the latest NVIDIA RTX graphics cards while keeping to a non-modular design and a focused feature set. Despite its budget-oriented positioning, MONTECH includes several practical touches that appeal to builders who value both reliability and clean presentation.



Beyond ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 compliance, the MONTECH BETA 2 features DC-to-DC conversion, a 105°C Japanese primary capacitor, and a Hydro-Dynamic Bearing cooling fan. Aesthetically, it carries MONTECH’s familiar design, highlighted by the brand’s signature triangular ventilation pattern and embossed flat cables that resemble premium sleeved wiring. Notably, the BETA 2 series is backed by a 5-year warranty — a confidence-boosting inclusion that is uncommon in this price bracket and more typically associated with higher-tier Gold-rated units.

The BETA 2 lineup includes 550W, 650W, 750W, and 850W models, with only the 850W variant equipped with a native 12V-2x6 connector. The 850W model targets builders seeking modern GPU compatibility without overspending. The question remains: can an affordable ATX 3.1 PSU like the BETA 2 meet the demands of today’s systems without compromising on the fundamentals?
