Silent Wings 3 high-speed fans with a diameter of 120 or 140 millimeters are included. The quality PWM fans feature a low-wear and durable Fluid Dynamic Bearing, which, combined with a 6-pole motor and the airflow-optimized fan blades, ensures high static pressure as well as a quiet operation. Especially in non-overclocked conditions, they remain conspicuously silent.

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 280mm rads, but not all of them. Fortunately, you can choose from many radiator sizes.

At the CPU cooling block/pump around we see an all copper base that has been nickel plated to a mirror finish (machined), that is definitely very flat. You'll notice that one wire leads towards the cooling block, this is for the pump and RGB residing in that block. Thermal paste is included in the package as well.

What I like is that the top side of the block is really small and flat. I am not a fan of big shouty LED-lit logos, so this I can live with really. The pump uses roughly 3 Watts of power under full load add to that a bit of RGB, which people seem to forget, does consume energy.
