Package and Contents

Evercool HPK-10025EA comes in a plastic tray that can be stacked and hung in racks, thanks to the compact and light-weight nature of the cooler it's carrying. Thankfully, the two halves aren't sealed by melting the plastic, rather, they're locked in place using four circle-square locks, that makes the package resusable. Had it been a molten-seal, you'll find yourself angrily hacking away with scissors or blades. This packaging also gives a good view of the top-portion of the cooler, which is dominated with the custom-designed 100 mm fan, a small portion revealing the four heat pipes, and the jagged edges of the aluminum fins.

The front half doesn't display much product information other than company and product logos, supported CPU types, and certifications. The top line abstractly reads "Core i7 and P4 LGA775", but we would like to remind you that this particular cooler supports LGA1366 Core i7 processors and LGA775 processors. It should support most LGA775 chips apart from Pentium 4, including Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad, as TDP of those chips generally aren't rated above 95W. The rear half is where the action is, where the lid protrudes out in a cuboidal shape, acting as a tray for the lower-portion of the cooler. Listed here are supported CPU types in greater detail, key features of the cooler, four images showing them, and an adequately detailed specifications table.


As soon as you open the clam-shell tray, you can pull out the cooler without any hassle. It will then reveal a lower deck in the tray that holds the accessories. The upper deck can be easily pulled out. In the accessories compartment, you'll find each kind of accessory (nuts, bolts, washers) packed into a ziplock sachet of its own, the thermal paste syringe is packed into a plastic shell. The inner side of the paperboard that displays specifications on the back of the package, doubles up to serve as an installation guide, complete with color pictures. A very nice touch. Overall, full-marks for Evercool's packaging.
