NH-U12F Contents:
The packaging for the NH-U12F heat sink is very nice and well produced. This could easily sell on a shelve at your local computer
store. The back of the box shows the details and specifications of the product. To my surprise, this is all a sleeve and can be
slipped off with a bit of thought. The sleeve is very snug on the inner box and I found that easiest way to slip it off was to
place it side ways on a surface and press down on the box with your thumbs. The only reason I say this is because you will more
than likely tear off the sleeve if you don't and for those of us that keep the boxes to everything, this is important.
  
With the sleeve now removed, you will be able to open the black box (hmm, sounds dangerous...). This exposes the included fan.
This is the exact same fan as the NF-S12-1200 that was just looked over. The only difference is the frame's color which is white
instead of the last fan's light salmon color. I am sure this is due to manufacturing supply changes. I really like the white color
and hope that the rest of their fans are manufactured this way! With the fan removed, you will find the Noctua NH-U12 heat sink.
This heat sink can be purchased alone without the fan.
 
With all the contents removed you will find the following (clockwise, starting from the top left): a Phillips 'L' Driver for
mounting, a color User's Manual, the AMD Socket AM2 mounting hardware, the Noctua NH-U12 heat sink, the Intel Socket LGA 775
mounting hardware, some Common Parts that are used throughout the installation, and the AMD Socket K8 mounting hardware. Phew!
This box was like a VW Bug full of clowns... "how much can they fit in that small box!"
