MONTECH is a relatively new player in the PSU market but offers an impressive selection of power supply units for all types of builders. Considering the pricing of the CENTURY II Series, it is a very compelling option for mainstream PC builders looking into building a new gaming or workstation PC. The CENTURY II Series are significantly more affordable compared to equivalent PSUs from other known brands that also have ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 standards and 80 PLUS Gold, Cybenetics Gold/Platinum-level certifications.
We cannot speak for the 1050W and 1200W models of the CENTURY II because it seems like those two higher-wattage models use a different PCB with different components but as for the 850W model and its price this is hard to beat. In Europe, the CENTURY II 850W is available in Scan Computers for £79.99 and on CaseKing for 94,90 it is almost £50 cheaper than the Super Flower LEADEX III GOLD ATX 3.1 850W while also offering an impressive 10-year warranty.
The MONTECH CENTURY II 850W stands out with its impressively tight +12V voltage regulation, ensuring stable and reliable power delivery to critical components like the CPU and GPU. Its Smart Zero Fan mode also provides quieter operation for users who prioritise low-noise performance. With a strong feature set, it offers exceptional overall value - a must-have for budget-conscious builders looking for a PSU with 12V-2x6 connectors. Just take note that the 12V-2x6 cable on the CENTURY II 850W is only rated for 450W, not 600W.
If you're building a gaming PC on a tight budget, the MONTECH CENTURY II 850W is a strong contender. While its silver finish might not suit every colour scheme, it offers a distinct and stylish look that sets it apart from standard PSUs. More importantly, its fully modular, supports the latest power standards, and holds both 80 PLUS Gold and Cybenetics Platinum certifications. For builders who want reliable performance without overspending, the CENTURY II 850W delivers outstanding value and helps stretch your budget further for other key components.
