The Thermalright Venomous X box

Thermalright uses their traditional solid stable cardboard box design to package their bundle.

On the top we see smooth wavy lines running across, almost depicting a laminar flow system, reflecting the efficiency we expect from the Venomous X. While most packaging tend to use wild graphics to show what their cooler can cope with, Thermalright uses a simple design to mask the beast within. A reflective Venomous X graphics is used on the top cover while on the front, we can see the shape of fins.

This is not necessarily a problem as people will know what to expect from this product. In most cases, specifications do not always translate to performance, hence why Thermalright relies on reviews such as this one rather than lists of what the cooler can do. Upon opening the top flap, we are greeted with the accessory pack, which houses the bundle and covers the heatsink underneath.

The installation kit

Inside the accessory pack, the installation kit is packaged in a plastic bag that can easily be torn open, rather than requiring sharp weapons...
