Here we have the fans. You get three of these, 120mm and PWM based as stated. These are Fractal Design Dynamic X2 PWM fans and offer a wide speed adjustment range from 500 to 2000 RPM allowing for near silent operation under lighter loads and maximum airflow during heavy usage. Overall these are pretty good fans. Realistically in non-overclocked conditions they remain very quiet as you run them in the 300~600 RPM range and to 1300 RPM tops.

When we flip it around we see the radiator a little better. Easy to mount, most big-tower chassis' have pre-fitted holes and space for 360mm rads, but not all of them. Please do check if you can actually mount this format and size of radiator okay ( 403 x 123 x 30mm).

At the CPU cooling block / pump we see an all copper base that does not have a mirror finish, it is definitely very flat though. You'll notice that one wire leads to the cooling block, this is for the pump residing in that block. Thermal paste is applied as well.

What I like is that the top side of the block is really small and flat. I am not a big fan of logos though. Rotating the round rubber ring allows for an automated mode and PWM mode. We advise the default PWM mode so you can load manage pump and fan RPM based on heat. Also notice that the metal fittings are standard G 1/4" threads which offer more compatibility, allowing integration of additional cooling components such as custom graphics card blocks.
