Packaging:

CNPS7000A-Cu HSF came in a clear, delicate, plastic package. Every accessory was organized very professionally and the overall package size was fully utilized. On the top left corner is the fan-mate that we will talk about later in this review. Next, we have a cardboard box that holds mounting accessories for all processors (AMD64, P4, & AMD Athlon XP). And finally, we get a first glimpse of the actual product. It might be hard to see but Zalman has printed the Finalist Award they got from Comdex on the accessory box.

As we moved towards the back of the package, we were presented with the necessary specifications as well as the backside of the heatsink. The shipping package certainly provides good look at the architecture of this heatsink. Zalman fully utilized the small package space. They also did a good job by designing the package in their vibrant company colors and also by including the necessary specifications on the back.
