The unit itself is very simple and light. The pump is integrated into the CPU block, and the 120 mm rad is very slim at just 25 millimeters. One of the pros of a cooler like this is that it makes it possible to get decent CPU cooling into a small case. You don't need the case to be 150 mm high just to fit that beefy tower cooler in place, you only need a 120 mm fan hole somewhere within the reach of the tubes. This also make it safer to move the case around, there no longer is a kilogram's worth of copper and aluminum hanging from that motherboard. By having the actual cooler away from the CPU area, it also gets the coolest possible air for optimal cooling performance.
The tubes are very thin and reasonably flexible, which works just fine with the overall idea of the cooler. It's very easy to bend the tubes into the desired shape and make that rad fit that ventilation hole. The design also is very resistant against kinks, which make the installation even easier and care-free.
The base of the block is copper, and has a pretty rough finish to it. Anyway the scratches aren't too deep and shouldn't hinder the performance - after all it's the flatness that counts, not the mirror finish. Now some might think the copper block with aluminum rad might cause problems, but as Corsair uses ethylene glycol instead of water, this shouldn't turn out to be a problem.
Out of the box the block comes with a nice layer of TIM (Thermal Interface Material), which makes the installation even easier. For the temperature testing this paste was replaced with the same stuff used with the other coolers.
The fan that comes with the kit is Corsair branded, has ball bearing and a top speed of 1400 RPM. It's not the quietest out there, but swapping it for your fan of choice couldn't be much easier. The kit is designed to be sandwitched so that the fan is between the rad and the side panel, and the whole thing is held together with the supplied screws. This makes for an easy installation, but unfortunately doesn't include anything to stop the vibrations from the fan reaching the chassis. Maybe this is something for Corsair to improve in the future versions.
