XIGMATEK HDT-D1284 (CAC-DXHH4-U03)

Package and Accessories

The new XIGMATEK cooler comes in a small gray box made of unusually thin cardboard:

There is a cut-out window in the front of the box that shows part of the cooler fan and the protective grid on it. The front side of the box also lists the key features of the new solution and bears a small photo of the cooler. The reverse side of the box has a table with detailed specifications of the cooler and states that it is made in Taiwan.

You may have noticed that the box looks a little bit beaten by the postal services. However, there is no need to be concerned with cooler safety, because it inside is packed in a thick and sturdy foamed polyurethane casing that protects it and the accessories perfectly fine from transportation damages:

Accessories are placed in a small section at the bottom of the box. XIGMATEK HDT-D1284 comes bundled with the following items:

• Two retention brackets for LGA775 mainboards;
• A retention clip for AMD K8 mainboards;
• Cable to connect the cooler fan to the PSU Molex connector;
• A pack of SilMORE thermal compound (1g);
• Detailed cooler installation manual.
