The above table includes full specifications. I can say it looks better than we could expect looking at the cooler itself. The most important is the performance, but that we will check on the next pages of this review. Right now, let’s take a look at the package and its contents.
Package and its contents
The ETS-F40-FS comes in a typical, quite small box that contains everything required for the installation. The box is well described with product specifications and key features, so we know what we are buying. On the other hand, most products of this type are sold via online stores where you can’t really check how the package looks.
Enermax ETS-F40-FS is equipped with a single 140mm fan, which is very quiet, even when the CPU is under a higher load. On the other hand, it spins up to 1200 RPM and has a high air pressure design, so it delivers high performance.
The heatsink is equipped with four heat pipes which are designed to directly touch the CPU’s IHS (integrated heat spreader). This design usually gives slightly better results than the one covered with a cold plate. As you can see in the photo above, The surface is flat and nicely covers new processors.
The cooler itself doesn’t have any RGB lighting and is not painted in any way. Enermax also has a version painted black and one painted black with ARGB lighting. Both will be reviewed soon, so check our website in the next few days to find out more about other coolers from Enermax.
Installation
The installation is quite simple and shouldn’t cause issues to less advanced users. Everything is well described in the attached manual. The cooler could be installed on ATX and ITX size motherboards. Tests were performed on the MSI X570 Unify motherboard, as you can see in the photos above.
The installation itself takes about five minutes on both AMD and Intel motherboards.
On the next page of this review, we will take a closer look at the performance.
