The other side of the control box has a SATA port and another proprietary 8-pin header. There are 2x 8-pin proprietary headers as well for the A-RGB fans. On one side of the control box, we have a 3-pin header for the A-RGB device. The control box is taking 0.1A at 5VDC as input power. The same is the output for 2x A-RGB fans (for each). We have a total of three outputs with each output rated at 2A max. There is a sticker in between those places. Looking at the backside of the control box, we can spot two places on the top and the bottom where the magnetic/self-adhesive strips are to be placed.

The box has taken quite a hit during the shipping as is evident on the bottom left side. The specifications of the cooler are printed in a tabular format.
