Evercool HPK-10025EA LGA1366 CPU Cooler Review

Contents & Packaging

The HPK-10025EA, not a particularly imaginative name I must say, arrives in a plastic carton with the cooler fully visible from the front with its distinctive red impeller. The Evercool logo sits at the top along with the compatible sockets: P4 LGA775 and Core i7 LGA1366 making the cooler solely Intel orientated.

The back, evidently much more factual, gives a full list of compatible processors – pretty much all the Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad and Core i7 series – and the features complete with some close up shots of the cooler and a specifications table.

With the installation guide printed on the inside of the packaging, only a few accessories come bundled with the cooler:

• Thermal paste
• Screws
• Washers
• Nuts (to screw the screws into)

The lack of any sort of backplate is a little worrying but we’ll take a closer look at the installation method a little later.
