Package and Accessories

The cooling system from CoolIT comes in a large cardboard box painted blue and white colors:

The front side of the box shows a full-size photo of the cooling system and lists its three main features: extreme CPU cooling, low noise level, and simple installation. By the way, CoolIT refers to this product simply as a “CPU cooler”.

The reverse side of the box shows the same photo of the Freezone, its detailed specs, and a comparison of the system’s capabilities with three different liquid cooling systems.

Having examined this comparison, you can’t but come to the conclusion that the CoolIT Freezone leaves no chance to modern liquid cooling systems in every parameter. Well, I’ll check out this claim shortly.

Inside the cardboard box there is a plastic box with compartments for each system component.

The largest compartment contains the Freezone itself. Accessory items are in the other compartments.

Here they are, from left to right and from top to bottom:

• Adapter plate to install the CoolIT Freezone into a standard seat for a 120mm system fan
• Screws and spacers to install the CoolIT Freezone into the system case
• Bushings, screws and a key for them to install the water-block on Socket 754/939/940 and Socket AM2
• Bushings and screws to install the water-block on Socket 478 and LGA775
• Controller card
• Four wire fasteners to mount the water-block on different CPU sockets
• Installation guide

Each component is wrapped into a separate pack labeled with a letter (B, C, D, etc) and these letters are referred to in the installation guide, which is very helpful.
