From the Raijintek website:

With decades of experience in the industry, RAIJINTEK management would also never jeopardize the high service- and product quality our customers deserve.

Raijintek has been around for a few years now and has already made a name for itself by being a bit off the wall and unconventional. Founded in 2013, the company has expanded from having no more than three available CPU coolers during its initial launch to what is now a wide range of different products. From fans and air coolers to all-in-one liquid coolers, water blocks, and so much more, Raijintek has slowly been carving out its own place in the PC-cooling market.

In today's review, I take a good look at the Raijintek Orcus, a new all-in-one liquid cooler. It sticks to the tried-and-true 240 mm radiator, but takes a wildly different design by placing the pump on the tubing. Meanwhile, the CPU block features a flow meter for checking the coolant flow. Add in RGB LED functionality with an MSRP of just $109.99 and you have a compelling RGB-enabled liquid cooler at an affordable price.

Packaging

The box Raijintek uses for the Orcus 240 is roughly 31.4 cm long, 23.4 cm wide, and 13 cm tall. Front and center on the box is an image of the Orcus 240, nothing more or less. On the left is an image of the CPU block and flow meter and, again, nothing else. It's the back of the box that contains all the information on this all-in-one liquid cooler; socket support, PWM fan speeds, pump performance, etc., are all listed on the back.


On the right side is, well, nothing, just white and black cardboard. Looking at the top, all there is to see is a list of supported AMD and Intel sockets. Finally, the bottom details the two versions of the Orcus 240 that will be available: the 240 with fans and 240 Core without fans.

Contents

As per the usual when opening a boxed-up all-in-one liquid cooler, we are greeted by the lovingly familiar cardboard tray that protects the cooler. However, that foam sheet that is usually included on top is nowhere to be found here, which I find a bit odd, and I would prefer to see one here as every bit of extra protection is always a good thing.


Everything needed for just about every modern socket is present. Raijintek even goes so far as to include a bottle of coolant for refilling and topping off the CLC over time.
