Sapphire NITRO+ AIO 240 & 360mm CPU Cooler Review

Exterior Packaging

The packaging for both models is, as you might expect, pretty much identical except for the fact that (big brain time) that the 360mm is slightly larger. – While the front certainly goes big and bold with a nice strong image, it is somewhat surprising to see that this is not of the AIO cooler itself. – Well, not technically at least as the image displayed is more representative of what you can expect from the RGB performance of the CPU block.

The rest of the packaging is quite light on details with only 1 actual clear photo of the AIO cooler present. You are given a small area of technical information, but this is largely limited to the somewhat bland dimensions and specifications. On the whole, it’s quite an eye-catching bit of packaging, but Sapphire has maybe taken too much of a lead here from their graphics cards which often display a rather bold but non-sensical image on the front. – For an AIO liquid cooler, I think this could’ve just perhaps have benefited from a little more presentational information.

Accessories!

Sapphire provides you with everything you need right out of the box to help ensure your easy installation of this CPU cooler regardless of your socket type. This includes a nice quality product manual, and, in addition, cabling to help ensure the easy connection of the fans to the radiator. While you are not provided with any thermal compound, this comes pre-applied to the CPU block meaning that, with the only exception of a screwdriver, you’re pretty much set to go here and even with Intel’s brand new Alder Lake-S LGA 1700 socket!
