PRODUCT COMPOSITION
Inside the blister packaging only one item is found other than the cardboard insert- the PCI Fan itself. No instructions are included, but trust me they are not needed.
PRODUCT PICTORIAL AND WALKTHROUGH
In simplest terms, this is an 80mm fan attached to an aluminum mounting bracket that fits over the expansion card slots inside the case. The fan itself is clear with blue LEDs so it will look nice in a case with a blue color scheme. It is lightweight but very sturdy and will not bend easily. At each end are two thumbscrews with threads in the middle so they can be screwed in on top of each another. We'll go over more of how these work during the install section of the review.
