Looking at the front of the carton you have a peek-a-boo window through which you can catch a glimpse of this uniquely designed heatsink. The other thing I think worth mentioning is the fact that this heatsink has to have one of the longest warranties of any heatsink on the market with the 6 year warranty you get with it.
The rear of the carton has an operating diagram and a complete list of the all of the features you will find with this device. Also included on the rear are seven pictures of the key features on the heatsink. They range from the picture of the 'Scurved' fan blades, the nickel coated fins, the VR speed controller, top front, side and bottom view of the heatsink It is really a surprise to see this many features and the quality of the workmanship for a heatsink that sells for less than sixty ($60.0) dollars.
The TMG IA1 is packaged inside a plastic molded clamshell holder, using this means of packaging the chance of the heatsink being damaged during transport is minimal.
We have included a diagram of the airflow of the TMG IA1, as you can see the ideal placement will be with the fan on the heatsink facing towards the rear of the case so that the air that is blown across the fins and the heatpipes can then be drawn out the rear of the case with the fan mounted to the rear of the case.
A Closer Look at the TMG IA1 Heatsink
We used the term 'Scurved' earlier and the way we understand it is is a reference to the shape and curve of the unique fan blades on the TMG IA 1. Also, if you are counting there are a total of fifty-one aluminum fins on the unit and to add that all important second punch to the unit Thermaltake has added in six (6) 6mm heatpipes.
