Product Showcase

As always we start with the un-boxing -- well, everything is packaged, cushioned and bundled safely in the box. Let's rip that packaging open.

Once opened up you'll spot the liquid cooling unit consisting of the radiator, fan, tubing, pump/cooling block. Mostly pre-fitted and ready to use of course. Everything is carefully packaged and individually wrapped in plastic.

You'll spot a back-plate that supports a wide variety of CPU sockets; Intel LGA 2011 / 1366 / 1156 / 1155 / 1150 and AMD Socket FM2 / FM1 / AM3+ / AM3 / AM2+ / AM2 based processors can be used in combination with this cooler. The upcoming AMD AM4 socket is NOT mentioned on packaging.  Don't let all the kit scare you, installation remains rather simple.

Included are:

  • Liquid CPU Cooler
  • Mounting kit for all modern CPU sockets
  • Two High Performance Fans 
  • Fan and radiator mounting screws
  • Thermal compound prepped to copper base
  • Quick Start Guide
  • Y-splitter cable

Summed up, once unboxed you'll spot the cooling unit consisting of the radiator assembly, fans and brackets + back-plate that supports a very wide range of AMD and Intel processors.  We do have some work cut out for us as we need to mount the fans and cooling block retention clips.

Here we have the radiator unit, we'll need to mount the two variable PWM fans (Pure Wings 2 - 140mm), with the pump and radiator assembled in one single unit.
