you know what i like i like things that are called special edition and you know
what i like even more i like special edition two okay this is the Noctua nhu
12p very popular cooler this is the second special edition of this cooler so
basically what that means is inside the box you will find core i5 core i7 and
AMD mounting hardware in addition to that you're going to find an extra fan
just like the original sc so why don't we have a look at the accessory package
here first let's get this open and find out what we've got inside so here's our
AMD mounting hardware it comes oh wow this is kind of neat it
comes with a screwdriver so you have everything you will need to install this
cooler here is the common part so these are the
parts that we're going to use no matter what we're installing so let's uh let's
get that open and have a look at it so here you'll see you've got fan
low voltage low noise adapters for 5 and 7 volts you've got uh nth1 premium
thermal compound you've got a knock to a case badge as
well as four screws which you'll need to affix
these little uh screw down brackets to the cooler okay so then you've got the
screw down brackets which will fasten into whatever adapter you're using
then you've got uh oh this is kind of neat so you can plug both of the fans on
this special edition cooler into one CPU
um header on your motherboard then you've got the little wire mounting
brackets four of them for your two fans and then last but not least it's kind of
stuck in the bag here you have four little rubber strips these rubber strips
sit in between the fan and the cooler to prevent it from vibrating very cool
little feature okay let's see what else we got in here so you've got an nfp 12
1300 RPM fan this is their their most
popular fan according to all the data we've been able to collect very very
nice fan great static pressure which is good for pushing through a dense fin
arrangement here's your Intel set so that's your Intel mounting hardware you
can see oh actually this is kind of neat i haven't seen this yet they've made
some adjustments to the way they used to do the mounting holes so you can see
you've got 775 1156 and 1366
mounting holes for the bolt through very neat so then we can put those aside so here's
your this is where your what the pegs that you're actually going to put
through the bottom of your board and then you've got your spacers and the
little thumb nuts that you can use to secure it
and then you've got a back plate oh this
is oh this is cool too actually which includes
four for 775 users rubber a rubber piece for the center but
since 1156 and 1366 have a back plate
you can remove it and just use this standard secure firm backplate
pretty sweet okay that is it for the accessories package
here so we'll get into what's inside the actual big box here so there's your
second fan and if i could figure out how to get
this open i would most certainly open it
because that's what i do i open things
okay finding this quite confusing now but
we're too far into this shot to uh potentially redo anything so
press forward there's your other fan identical to the first and then here is
the cooler itself so you can see this is a four heat pipe cooler one two three
four it doesn't have heat pipe direct touch but i'm sure the camera can see
what a shiny flat finish that is so we'll put show do the the obligatory
finger shot so it's very very flat there we have it uh thank you for checking out
