Packaging
The Sedion 240M comes packaged in a very typical looking CM box. The theme here is black/purple/chrome and as usual it’s very sharp and makes you feel that you are getting a product that is worth while. The front of the box gives us a look at the cooler and some features that CM feels are important.

The final thing worth mentioning is the left side of the box which has the complete technical specs of the cooler and fans. Looking at the fans section, CM claims they have an excellent static pressure of 4.16 at their max speed of 2400 rpm. Both the high speed and high pressure are going to be welcome with this thin densely finned radiator.

Inside the box you will find the cooler and accessories in the standard egg carton style mold. This seems to be very adequate to protect the Seidon from possible damage while shipping.
