Introduction:::...
One
thing SilverStone do well is their packaging. A lot of Asian
manufacturers use packaging that, while I'm sure it's appealing
to a home audience, tends to look a little odd to western
palettes.
The
NT01 box is classy in black and the cooler is nicely supported
inside.

The
NT01 was designed for P4 only, though we hear there's an
Athlon64 version in the pipeline, so to speak.
Along
with the cooler and a pair of retaining clips you get a
syringe of silicone based thermal grease and a selection
of screws for mounting a variety of thicknesses of fans
and an instruction pamphlet.

That
odd look is due to the protective plastic covering the radiator
shroud to keep scratches at bay.

Not
expensive to create yet it's the simple touches like this
logo glistening from the top of the fan shroud that make
a lasting impression and give that sense of quality.

Regardless
of performance it has to be said that SilverStone have gone
all-out on looks and quality, usually a goos sign that a
company has absolute faith in their product. And why shouldn't
they? It's well built using quality materials and is based
on proven technology.
