What
You Get:::...
The
packaging isn't going to win any awards. It's your typical,
heat-sealed, clear plastic blister job with patented anti-opening
design. Dig out some good scissors, a bolt crop or a blow-torch,
you'll need them.
It's
all nicely presented but those slightly washed out colours
make it look like it's been sat on a shelf fading in the
sun which kind of detracts from the quality look.

Inside
the pack you'll find the cooler (that's a relief), eight
RAM sinks (an improvement on the four supplied in their
previous cooler), an adapter cable allowing you to power
the cooler from a motherboard header or a 4-pin Molex connector,
two tensioning brackets, two brass standoffs with fixing
screws, eight squares of thermal adhesive tape to attach
the RAM sinks with and a syringe of thermal grease.

The
cooler itself is nicely styled with clean lines and no overly
fussy flourishes. It's simple yet looks like a fair ammount
of thought has gone into it.

Looking
from the side you get a feel for the quite deep profile.
I'm sure that slug is unnecessarily large but past experience
seems the suggest that a good sized lump of metal near the
heat source like this acts as a great heat buffer when the
going gets tough and helps dissipate heat more efficiently
into the fins. I suppose it also stops heat radiating back
towards the card's surface components and memory.

hint at some new, delicate weldng technique used to attach
the folded fins to the base but don't go into much detail.
They certainly don't look soldered in the traditional way
so quite what the procedure entails don't know. I levered
under the fins in a couple of places with a thin bladed
screwdriver but they didn't give so they're pretty well
attached what ever method they've used.

Looking
at the underside the quality is obvious, as is the size
of that round, copper slug. There are six threaded holes
to increase compatibility with a wider range of cards. The
blue plastic sticker protects the face of the slug from
damage and, presumably, oxidization.

In
fact, and this is a little know secret so keep it under
your hat, the JACSH1 is so cool that King Tutankhamun had
a mask modelled on one!
