Package and Accessories

New Arctic Cooling solution ships in a molded clear plastic casing shaped exactly like the cooler itself:

This type of packaging not only protects the contents against any possible damages, but also allows the potential buyer to check out the front of the cooler without opening the casing. The back of the package lists all major specifications of the new cooling solution and offers two diagrams comparing the performance of Accelero XTREME 4870X2 against Radeon HD 4870 X2 reference cooler.

Besides the cooler itself, the box also contains two aluminum heatsinks for the voltage regulator components, step-by-step assembly and installation instructions, two adapter cables for additional power, screws and a set of thermal pads:

The heatsinks are only about 10 mm tall and are shaped to match the Radeon HD 4870 X2 PCB components exactly:

Obviously, Arctic Cooling decided not to repeat the same mistake again that is why they provided their cooler with good heatsinks for voltage regulator components instead of an aluminum plate, like the one we saw with Accelero Xtreme GTX 280.

The new solution is priced around $63.80 and comes with six-year manufacturer warranty.
