Packaging & Contents

The Zerotherm Nirvana NV120 Premium comes in a metallic silver box with a lot of color images and specifications on the outside. The box seems oversized for the heatsink, which can clearly be seen through a window on the front of the package.


Inside the box the heatsink and the accessories are stored in a plastic clamshell package. The mounting hardware consists of an AMD bracket, and Intel bracket and backplate, four screws and a small tube of thermal compound.


Also included with the Nirvana is a fan controller and a multi language installation instruction sheet.
