The cooler is all-copper/aluminum and is a completely passive cooler, meaning there are no fans. Looking at the design, it appears that a 60mm fan can be easily added to the cooler if desired, which would be larger than most chipset coolers that take 40mm fans. Along with the cooler, the package comes with two types of mounting brackets, installation manual, and some thermal compound.

Looking at this cooler, it looks more like a CPU cooler than a chipset cooler; the large number of radiator fins and heat pipes should provide enhanced thermal. The bottom of the cooler has a machined, smooth finish that we’ve come to expect with any well-designed cooler. The cooler’s base is slightly larger than the Northbridge chipset.
