C5 arrives in an attractive little box which contains the fundamental features on the front along with an image of the cooler itself. Around the back there are more details concerning these features and the technical specification can be found on the side.
Inside the cooler is protected with polystyrene whilst the bundled accessories are stored within a small cardboard box. Thermaltake have ensured that everything arrives in good condition which is good to see.
Packaging for C5
C5 comes with a range of different components for the installation process and since this cooler can accommodate a wide array of different sockets there are respective manuals for each to guide the user through. The C5 cooler can accommodate Intel LGA 2011/1366/1155/1156/1150/1150/775 and AMD FM2/FM1/AM3+/AM3/AM2+/AM2. Thermaltake also provide a small tube of thermal paste.
The accessories bundle catering for multiple socket types
Accompanying the heatsink are two cooling fans which are 120mm in specification. These fans can operate between 1000 and 2000RPM and come with a handy speed controller which helps to manage between low and high speeds.
The fans which have been used on C5 are TT-1225 which are a seven-blade design with red outer frame. Thermaltake provide a y-cable for both fans which simply plugs into the CPU fan header on the motherboard, this helps keep other headers free and maintains similar fan speed for both cooling fans.
