The Silent Stream arrives in a very small box that contains all of the system components and accessories. the first thing that is immediately noticable upon opening the box and examination of the components is just how simple this system is. GlobalWin has deisgned the system where the waterblock and pump are integrated.
Another thing mmediately noticable is how easy to use the cpu hold-down clamp is to use. A large complaint about most good heatsinks/waterblocks is that they must utilize the four holes that surround some cpu sockets. This means that in order to install the heatsink you have to remove the motherboard and install screws, a baseplate, or additional hardware to mount the heatsink or waterblock. The Silent Stream is one of the rare products that makes use of the Ziff socket tabs to hold the heatsink down. The convenience of this design cannot be stressed enough. As a PC enthusiasts we at Techwarelabs often swap components in and out often, this task is made much simpler with this design.
