Packaging

I will say Sapphire knows how to make a visually striking box, with the Nitro+ S240-A's box top having no problem grabbing your attention even if I don't know what I am looking at. Yes, I know it's spider-inspired, and the gray object is the same as the pump design, while the ARGB lighting is simulated via the splash of color. However, if you are not familiar with Sapphire's marketing, the box top will be "neat." Flipping the box on its side, we find essential information about tubing length, radiator dimensions, and socket support, as well as the rest of the cooler's specifications. Moving on to one of the ends of the box, we find a logo similar to the pump's design, but not much else.


Next, the other long side has the Sapphire Nitro+ logo and no other information to speak of. The opposite end has the barcodes and other information, but again, nothing interesting to take note of in regards to specifications, features, or performance claims. That information is reserved for when you pop the top. Once you open the box, a separate cardboard flap has a nice paragraph from Sapphire detailing the Nitro+ S240-A's features.

In regards to interior packaging, it's nothing to write home about. The standard cardboard tray does the job it should, so the cooler and all accessories are packed away neatly and safely.


The cooler supports AMD's Socket AM4 processors and Intel's LGA115x, LGA1200, LGA1700, and LGA20XX sockets. All other sockets from Intel and AMD are not explicitly supported. However, the manual provided with my kit does mention LGA1366 as supported. Either way, it is something to keep in mind. Regardless of socket support, the overall accessories bundle is quite small, with the mounting hardware appearing to be exceptionally easy to work with at first glance.
