Packaging & Contents

The OrigenAE C10 heatsink comes in a small plastic package that is not much bigger then the heatsink itself. There are clear portions of the package that allow the front and rear of the heatsink to be seen, and there are features and specifications listed on the sides.


Inside the package OrigenAE also includes a small pouch of thermal compound and a basic paper manual with instructions in English only. However, since the installation is the same as a stock heatsink, not much extra detail is really required.
