This cooler is packaged in blue + white cardboard box. Design of box is decent and together attractive.
Through plastic window you can see so nice curves of cooler. At box there is written almost the same data as at web page plus some detailed photos.
The cooler as well with the accessories are in the box well secured against to their "travelling" and / or to possible damage too. Accessories are in addition packaged in next box. Operating instructions are well readable of its pictures, so you actually needn't to read it. . Manufacturer says that cooler supports LGA, AM2 and K8 sockets, but the cooler will be delivered only with one socket accessories set. So you must to decide which one do you need.
Package contains practical cross screwdriver, so if you don't have as long as you need to install the cooler to mother board, you needn't to be stressed.
There is also included thermal paste, screws and two sets of antivibration plates and wire clips. Why two? - Because, you can buy a second fan.
I was surprised that the additional PCI potentiometer for setting rpm of fan was included in package. This current divider can be connected to standard 4-pin molex or to the 3-pin connector at motherboard.
Detail of connector says, that +5V loop is disconnected. I think that manufacturer saved some money, but at incorrect place.
Fan - it is quite to around 8V. At higher voltages are his two ball bearings so noisy. The aerodynamic noise of air wings is listenable from 8V too. 12 volts is usable due its noise only for enthusiasts.
