Introduction

The people that have heard of Vantec probably know them for their storage products, but did you know that they also make CPU coolers? We got the opportunity to look at the Vantec AeroFlow FX 92 CPU Cooler, which is the first of two Vantec coolers we'll be reviewing. The aluminum heatsink and copper heatpipe design added with a white 92mm fan give it a classy look. The fan surprisingly even keeps quiet with the PWM function ranging from 1200 to up to 2800 RPM! Read on further to see how well this elegant CPU cooler performs.

Packaging

The Vantec AeroFlow FX 92 comes packed in a quality retail box. A lot of design went into making this packaging as you can tell by the detail and informative details on the front of the box. The cooler is visible on the front of the box through a clear plastic sheet so you know what you're getting. The back of the box gives a brief paragraph about the product and includes the features, specifications, and package contents in a listed format.

Inside of the box there is the AeroFlow FX 92 CPU cooler, user manual, thermal grease, and mounting brackets. The user manual is very easy to read and understand and is much more precise and to the point when it comes to the instructions unlike a lot of other CPU coolers we've looked at.
