Introduction

ZEROtherm has really made a name for themselves over the past year. The last 3 products we reviewed from them scored very high and all of them have received awards. But there are still people who have not heard of them. Well ZEROtherm has announced a new cooler, the ZEN FZ 120, which they were kind enough to send us. Will it perform up to what we have grown to expect from ZEROtherm? Read on to find out...

Packaging

I have always liked ZEROtherm's packaging and the FZ 120's packaging is no different, it is very colorful and is open in the front so you can take a look at the cooler itself. On the back of the cooler there is an installation guide and on the side there are the specifications which we listed above.

Getting everything out of the packaging we have the CPU cooler itself, 120mm fan, mounting hardware for both Intel and AMD setups, thermal paste, and instructions.
