The Thermalright Venomous X box
Thermalright uses their traditional solid stable cardboard box design to package their bundle. However, they have departed from the standard minimalistic brown they tend to use for their other products and the result is a very attractive package that epitomizes professionalism and taste. On the top we see smooth wavy lines running across, almost depicting a laminar flow system, reflecting the efficiency we expect from the Venomous X. While most packaging tend to use wild graphics to show what their cooler can cope with, Thermalright uses a simple design to mask the beast within. A reflective Venomous X graphics is used on the top cover while on the front, we can see the shape of fins.


Inside the box
Another remark about the box is the lack of specifications and features lists we are normally accustomed to with other packaging. This is not necessarily a problem as people will know what to expect from this product. In most cases, specifications do not always translate to performance, hence why Thermalright relies on reviews such as this one rather than lists of what the cooler can do. Upon opening the top flap, we are greeted with the accessory pack, which houses the bundle and covers the heatsink underneath.


The Venomous X
The cooler is neatly tucked in a foam enclosure and wrapped in a plastic bag. It goes to show that you don't need big packages to ensure safety in transit.


The accessory pack
Along with the accessory pack, Thermalright include a sticker, a contents leaflet and a small installation guide. Installation is a fairly easy and intuitive process anyway, as we will see later on.


The installation kit
Inside the accessory pack, the installation kit is packaged in a plastic bag that can easily be torn open, rather than requiring sharp weapons...
