Packaging and Contents

 

The CM Sphere comes in a standard plastic bubble pack wrapped in a very stylish box.

 

The plastic bubble pack is very similar to the one that Intel uses for its heatsinks. 

 

Inside the plastic pack you will find everything you need to install the CM Sphere onto your CPU.

 

     All of the hardware you need is also included.  You'll find brackets, backing plates, screws, washers and nuts.  CoolerMaster even throws in some heatsink grease. 

Layout

     The CM Sphere is an all copper heatsink.  There are 4 heatpipes that wrap through copper fins and around a fan. 

     The fan is a 66mm by 68mm design that rotates at 2200RPMs.  Because of the relative low RPM speed the noise is only 22dBA.

     The base is just a copper block where the four heatpipes attach.  It does not have a mirror finish, but the most important part is it's flat.
