The "The Black Edition" comes well protected from outer influences, that none of the parts included will be damaged during transportation. Gelid Solutions includes not only an Intel but also an AMD mounting kit. Therefore the cooler is compatible to both worlds right out of the box. Gelid Solutions ships this cooler with two fans. The first one, which has been preinstalled, measures only 15 millimeter in height. The reason for that is improved compatibility with memory that features big heatspreaders. If Gelid Solutions would have chosen a 120 x 120 x 25 millimeter fan at this place, the cooler wouldn't have been compatible with enthusiast grade memory. Between the two towers you find a standard 120 x 120 x 25 millimeter fan. Both fans can be regulated using the PWM signal. The lowest rpm speeds is 750 in both cases and the highest is 1500 for the 25 millimeter and 1600 for the 15 millimeter thick fan.
