In the box

On a sunny day, the mailman had a little present for me: a big box filled with some nice pink foam things in it.
Corsair packages their units very well when they ship them -> no risk for damage this way.

In the box Corsair added everything needed for the installation of the unit. Some good manuals were also included (a quick start guide for the impatient ones too).




These are the clamps used for attaching the water block to the CPU (AMD and P4 clamps included). On the picture you see the clamps and connectors to connect the tubes to the unit.

The PCI-controller card for powering and controlling the unit. Funnel (they really thought of everything) and special cooling solution for the unit.

Here are 2 side views of the unit. On the right picture you can see the radiator behind the grill. As you can also see, the unit comes with a carrying handle -> easy if you have to move it.

Next picture is a nice view of the back and front of the unit. On the front we have a nice big LCD screen, which shows us the temperature of the water. On the back we find 2 quick-connect thingies and the connector for the cable that goes to the PCI-controller card.

The turbo button makes the fan spin at the highest speed (logical no?). And also a better view of the radiator.

This is the unit with the top cover removed. You can now clearly see the fan used for cooling the radiator, also the pump is visible.

A top view of the unit, here you can clearly see the nice layout of the unit. The left picture is the flow controller used to see if the water is running through the system.

This is the water block used to cool the CPU. It is actually quit small in comparison to the SLK-800.
At the top of the water block there is a small temperature sensor used to measure the temperature of the water (middle picture).
