Package:

As before, the design and layout of be quiet!’s box is quite impressive. The sleek black artwork and nicely contrasted colors really stands out.

On the front, clearly imprinted, is the power handling of 160w TDP (Thermal Design Power).

At the rear of the package we find the detailed specifications of the cooler and an in-depth description.

With the hardware package unpacked, we find a pretty extensive set of hardware for both AMD and Intel socket installations. We have to say that the hardware is nicely done with chrome finishing. The back plate is also very sturdy.
