Get efficient processor cooling on par with liquid cooling, but without all the installation hassles and maintenance with the Vigor Monsoon II series of CPU cooling systems. Using a thermoelectric cooler, or Peltier Cooler, the unit silently pumps heat away from the processor aided by four heat pipes, aluminum fins, and a copper base, which is then pushed away via the 92mm fan.
The assembly installs just like a traditional cooling fan, but uses software to automatically control the cooling and the speed of the fan. A management unit with an LCD screen installs into a 5.25-inch bay in the front of your desktop PC. However, once installed, the Monsoon II will operate without any maintenance necessary. This model is designed to work with LGA 775 socket Intel processors, such as Pentium 4, Pentium D or Core 2 Duo processor.

Vigor II M2I
- Pros: Very nice CPU cooler thus far. E6600 OC'ed to 3.42 with the 5.25 drive reading 28 deg. C. Asus PCprobeII displays 31 C but even w/ 3 deg difference its acceptable. I have never seen the display go to/above 30 deg yet which is promising for oc'ers. Very glad I went with this setup.
- Cons: The price is a little bit steep. The Titan Amanda is quite similar for a substantial price difference, but I didnt want to use up pci slot on it. Installation could provide a little bit more detail. I used their website in addition to the manual they included in the packaging. The power/fan cable connected to the petlier device is pretty short, would have been nicer to have some more room to move it since its very close to my ram.
- Other Thoughts: Despite what people in reviews say about installation, it really isnt all that tricky with a new system. Yes, there is somewhat of a balancing act, but it isnt all that precarious if there is nothing else installed on the motherboard. Just make sure you have the heatsink aligned properly (fan blowing out of the case). For users looking to put this on a system already assembled, well, sorry to say you will have to disassemble everything and remove your motherboard from your case for installation. My only concern at this point would be the life span of the device, if it can outlast my computer. Only time will tell.
Cooler than Air or Water
- Pros: The unit is quite easy to install and for it's size is lighter than expected. Running a Conroe 6600 over clocked to 3.5gig and at idel it is reading 28c and with running Seti@Home 24/7 at 100% usage the temperature stays around 34c + or - 2 degrees. The Temperatures reported could not even be approached by My Thermaltake Big Typhoon and that is a very efficent cooler as well.
I highly rcomend this unit and would by another next time as well.
- Cons: price is a bit high
- Other Thoughts: Even though it is expensive it's worth the price.

Best Air Cooler
- Pros: Does wonders very good for overclocking.
- Cons: I havent had any like other people
- Other Thoughts: Works great have had it over a year and overclocking my 3.4 pentium d to a 4.3 stable for over a year now.
Never gets over 48 degrees on full load.
Update
- Pros: Still is keeping my cpu nice and cold. Still an amazing unit.
- Cons: Absolutely none
- Other Thoughts: I've been using this cpu cooler for over a year now and I've read before that people had issues with it after it reached 5000 hours. My 5.25 bay drive says that mine has been running for a little under 8000 hours and I have yet to have any issues with the unit. It still keeps my overclocked E8400 @ 4.0 ghz at 30 C idle and never above 35 C full load.
I love this thing
Best air cpu cooler ever!
My third review of this...
- Pros: Very cool when it works. Vigor customer service is great, they sent me a new fan and heat sink when my old one fried... FOR FREE, and I KEPT my old one which partially worked
- Cons: Installed the new one they sent me tonight... and the brain of it CAUGHT ON FIRE. Like, orange fiery things and smoke kind of fire! After ripping the plug out of the back of my computer and preparing to pour a bottle of water on it, I realized it stopped burning. But now I'm left with no cooler as they just discontinued the product...
- Other Thoughts: When it worked it was great. I was a big fan of this for a long time and told all my friends about how awesome it was. I still think it's a great product when it works, but what if I had my computer on and left home and it started on fire like this? I'd have burned my apartment down! It just scares me... everything was plugged in perfectly fine, I've built dozens of computers and never had a problem before, but this really scares me... if you buy this, please, PLEASE dont leave your computer on when you're away, your belongings might thank you. And again, I hate writing this review because it kept my temperatures so friggin cool (under 30C idle), but it's hazardous.
