When we opened the box, we noticed that there were several pieces included with the cooler. The thermal tape for the RAM sinks; the eight RAM sinks themselves, two mounting brackets, and screws for holding the cooler to the card. Pads were attached to the clips to prevent damage to the card. An instruction manual was also inside the package. Under the compatibility chart on the Logisys packaging is specific warning that reads:

Please pay extra cautions when dealing with some VGA card from different maker other than original NVIDIA and ATI manufacturers. Re-layout VGA cards might not be compatible if user's VGA card is not manufactured in compliance with NVIDIA or ATI reference cards, please be aware of its compatibility before your purchase.

Examination:

When viewing pictures of the heatsink previous to receiving it, we were expecting the heatsink to be small, but when actually studying the heatsink for ourselves, we were quite wrong.

The entire heatsink was constructed out of copper, to allow for optimal dissipation. The actual heatsink is semi-circular with the actual fins elevated above the VPU base, to be assured the cooler is indeed universal and won't conflict with any capacitors or other obstructions on the PCB. The copper fins on the Logisys One for All Cooler closely resembled the Prime Cooler Hypercool III+ & Hypercool 4+, which we previously reviewed. In the middle of the semi-circular heatsink is a 70mm blue LED fan.

A thin layer of plastic coated the heatsink base, and after removing the plastic, we noticed no blemishes of any kind. Also on the bottom are multiple sets of holes for screwing into the mounting bracket. Depending on which graphics card you plan to install the cooler to, the Logisys One for All Cooler chart shows which set of mounting holes to use.

As for the RAM heatsinks, eight of them were included with the Logisys One for All Cooler. Each RAM heatsink was shaped in a small square. Tiny fins coated the top portion of the copper. Double-sided tape by 3M was included to attach the individual heatsinks to the RAM.
