PRODUCT COMPOSITION, PICTORIAL & WALKTHROUGH
Cooler Master did well with the Aquagate S1 packaging. In addition to the window in the front, there is a carrying handle and the top of the box simply flips up to reveal the contents. The back of the box lists specs and features. Inside, two pieces of plastic hold the contents in place to avoid any damage during shipping. This kit is designed to install inside the case, either on the rear or side panel in place of a 120mm exhaust fan. The radiator assembly's dimensions are about 6.2 x 5 x 3.5 inches.
Inside the box, we have the radiator with 120mm fan, waterblock with pump mounted on top of it, universal mounting bracket, installation hardware, coolant refill tool, thermal paste, and instruction manual. The system comes pre-filled with blue colored coolant, but no extra is included.
