🌀 NZXT Kraken X62 280mm - CAM-Powered AIO Liquid Cooler with Infinity Mirror Design and Aer P140mm Radiator Fans Review

I took this LSS for Ryzen 9 3900x. During the installation, it turned out that the AM4 mount was done terribly. The pump is held on the motherboard by two antennae and one bolt, the fasteners bent when tightened. The clamp was very bad (see the second photo), I had to put washers under the fasteners to increase the contact area. After starting the system, I was shocked - a rattle was heard from the pump at minimum speed, at first I thought it was due to air and everything would pass soon, but…

In general, everything is beautiful, but as for the layman it is not clear. I didn’t install it correctly or the dropsy is bad, I don’t know. in any case, the sediment is not pleasant. If anyone can help with advice, I will be very grateful)

For lovers of aesthetics and good cooling out of the box, I recommend to take a closer look. The quality and performance justifies the money spent.

In general, I am satisfied with the purchase, since there are no competitors in the market in appearance. Well, if the shortcomings are finalized in the new version, it will be possible to take a new one. I would advise you to study this issue before buying, there are many solutions on the market that will be better, well, if you want an external beautiful dropsy, then probably not better

I must say this is my first water and I have nothing to compare it to, so my opinion is suuuuper subjective. I took it on a working machine under AMD Ryzen 9 3900X, earlier on a stock bag in rendering 4k shots in a (complex composition) 10 seconds long in AE, it managed to heat up to 87-89, when overclocking a standard prog from MSI to a peak of 4.4 g. I rendered longer shots without overclocking to 3.8, because I was afraid for a hot kid) So, the Kraken was able to -20 degrees with the same…

Fasteners for the AM4 socket leave much to be desired: you can throw a wrench with a fig nut without skill. But in the latest versions of the kraken, it was changed to the clic one, like intel - 4 screws at the corners of the socket. The air-laden system makes noise with bubbles, but only at the moment when you start to turn the radiator in different directions. While standing in the case and not touching it, it is incomprehensible - it works quietly. As a result, I handed over the kraken under

Initially, I put this dropsy on theCore i9 9900k, but for him it turned out to be redundant. At the same time, there was a hot video card, which heated up to 80 degrees and made a noise like a 70 dB vacuum cleaner. So I decided to transfer the dropsy to the video card, and put the dropsy Kraken M22 on the percentage. The water block is easily installed through the proprietary Kraken G12 mount. In turn, the size of the water blockcompletelycomvers the Vega chiplet with GPU and 4 hbm2 memory…

With its pros. perfectly copes with overclocked 9700k on 5.3 great CAM software very nice light pump for over a year no problems at all. Has some cons no rgb on coolers does not use the aio_pump connector, everything is powered via usb and sata.

Pros: Simply beautiful and copes with my process (9600k in overclocking) Different cons: There is no compatibility with asus aura, this is the only device in my system without this support, but this is nitpicking, it will deliver to aesthetes .

Different pros: Ease of installation and cooling efficiency. Almost silent. Has cons: Not every motherboard is suitable, the installed memory may interfere.

If you are for beauty, then this is your choice undoubtedly, so you will have to pay a good amount. If you are interested in the quality of cooling, then there are more interesting options. But in general, for 9900k with overclocking, only custom water, because as soon as you touch the settings, the tdp of the processor immediately jumps over 95w and even three-section factory water will not save there (5Ghz for each core for example).

I recommend it for purchase if you don't feel sorry for the money. A thing worthy of attention. She cools be healthy, and the eyes of both mine and those around her are catchy. Has pros: 1) It is very easy to install, but there are a lot of wires to connect + when you have a small case like mine (I have NZXT MANTA) it is hemorrhagic to install a water block, although this is more of a personal difficulty. I assembled it without instructions, so everyone can handle it. 2) Beauty, it is difficult

In general, no problems with dropsy were noticed. The pump glows beautifully, cools my 8700k so that it does not even heat up to 50 degrees in games. The problem arose when trying to put a heatsink with fans in the upper part of the case (see disadvantages). There is more of a claim to the case and the motherboard, but it is possible that there may be problems with other components, so check the dimensions before buying.

I put on the R5 3600x before that it was Thermalright macho black, the temperature dropped by 10-15 degrees on average. Since you have to perform many complex tasks, the computer is constantly under load. The average temperature during rendering is 65-70 degrees. Alas, I did not take into account the dimensions and I had to put the radiator on the front panel (matrixx 55 case). I wanted to place it on the upper grill, alas, the gap between the motherboard and the radiator is very small. So…

In the case of Corsair 680x, I got up as a native (with the Aorus master z390 motherboard). Little advice. If you have a release case before 2022, then check the compatibility on the NZXT website. There's a fairly large list, if later only at random. And if you have a case from the same manufacturer, then you don’t have to worry at all, the compatibility is complete.

It performed better than reviews leading me to believe it would run with noise and cooling performance with a 2700x processor running 24x7 Folding @ home. Control the fans by connecting them to the headers on the motherboard. You want to use as little CAM control software as possible. The current version when I built the machine was fine, causing no problems and obeying my settings of not polling/monitoring other hardware. In the two latest versions, it tries to read data from a special chip on

PC manufacturers know how easy it is to fall into a hole by rationalizing to spend "a little more" on new components. I ended up buying the X62 as part of a brand new build that started with the simple intention of upgrading to the R5 3600 and ended up costing over $2000. My first plan was to just get an M22 as I had no plans to overclock my CPU and all I really wanted was an infinity mirror/braided cable look. But when things got out of hand I figured the X62 was what I really needed. In the…

So after reading all the hype about how awesome Kraken is I decided to swap out my DeepCool Captain 240ex and see if it gets any better. I chose the x62.2 version and installed it on my Elite NZXT S340. Perfect match, right? Well, no, the first problem: The main memory of the Asus Crosshair 6 Hero sits very close to the processor socket. So I couldn't install the pump straight. I had to tilt it so that the logo was now off-center. Well I guess let's see if it's worth making my OCD mistake every
