As always the packaging is what we will deal with first, everything is packaged, cushioned and bundled safely in the box. Let's rip 'er open though.
 


Once unboxed you'll spot the liquid cooling unit consisting out of the radiator, fans, tubing, pump/cooling block. Most pre-fitted and ready to use of course. Basically, you will need to install/mount the fans and a bracket to secure the unit. But you know what, you are visiting Guru3D.com, so we'll show you that all over the next few pages. You'll spot a back plate that supports a wide variety of CPU sockets. Intel LGA 115x, 1366, 2011 and AMD AM2, AM3, AM4, FM1, FM2 based processors can be used in combination with this cooler. Ryzen Threadripper, is not compatible!

 Included are:

  • Liquid CPU Cooler
  • Multi-platform mounting kit for all modern CPU sockets
  • One High Performance Fan
  • USB / FAN / Power Cable 
  • Fan and radiator mounting screws
  • Thermal compound (pre-applied)
  • Quick Start Guide

So summed up, once unboxed you'll spot the cooling unit consisting of the radiator assembly, fan and brackets + back plate that support a very wide range of AMD and Intel processors. A little thermal paste is pre-applied on the cooler for you.
 

 

Here we have the kit with LED lighting unit, we'll need to mount the one variable PWM fan (120mm). The fans is wired to be powered from an RPM/PWM controller on your motherboard FAN connector. That's the same for the pump. With NZXT CAM software you cannot regulate it, only the RGB on the cooling block can be controlled with CAM. We'll show that later on in the article, in a chapter about the software.
