Monsoon II Active TEC CPU Cooling System

We are big fans of extreme cooling around here, whether it be water cooling, TEC, phase change or just a regular ol’ monster sized HSF. We especially enjoy products that attempt to combine more than one of the aforementioned cooling methods into one cooling product like the Monsoon II Active TEC CPU Cooling System. An air cooled TEC? It has been a long time since we’ve seen a good one, let’s see what PCPerspective had to say about the Monsoon II.

The Vigor Monsoon II is not a typical CPU heatsink fan. In addition to a copper base, large aluminum fins, and 92mm LED fan, the Monsoon II cooler incorporates both heat pipes and active Thermoelectric Cooling. It comes with a control module that automatically adjusts the cooler’s fan speed and turns on and off the Peltier device to maintain a target CPU temperature.

If an air cooled TEC is too extreme for you, I recommend you have a look at our AMD AM2 processor air cooler round-up you’ll definitely find something you like in there for sure.
