[the contents]

The Cooler, was suprised at the weight - it certains looks heavier than it is.


[3 heatpipes from copper block]

The cooler is basically cpu copper core from with 3 heat pipes fun from. The pipes curl back and into a series of fins to help disapate the heat. It seems to work pretty well with water cooling systems, so the testing should be interesting.


[thermal compaound covering]


The copper core that sits on the cpu has a covering of thermal compound to help with heat ransfer from the cpu to cooler.


[90mm cooling fan]


On the top of the cooler is a 90mm fan, so low noise is what I am expecting here.


[wow - bright!]


Also included in th package is a brightly colour screwdriver tool, which will help to mount the cooler on the motherboard.


[939 bracket]


There is an additional bracket as well for AMD socket 939. For this review with are using a INtel 478 socket.
