This is the first cooler from Vigor that I have tested, but they have had a couple of other CPU coolers on the market, both of which were TEC air coolers. Vigor also has a nice lineup of cases as well as complete systems. This time instead of the plain looking coolers mounted to their TEC’s, Vigor has taken a different approach. They opted out of the TEC part and have gone with a stand-alone air cooler.

What we have with us today is the Vigor Monsoon III LT, Vigor’s first CPU cooler without a TEC to share the Monsoon name. Previously Vigor’s lineup was the Monsoon II and the Monsoon II Lite, both using a TEC plate to aid in how they cooled. The Monsoon III LT is an eye catching design and the obvious use of dual fans is a plus to getting more airflow. First impressions of this cooler are that it looks nice in all-black attire and it seems up to the task of keeping the newer over clocked CPU’s within healthy operating temperatures.
