NZXT Kraken Z73 360Mm Customizable Computer Components Review

UPDATE (Just adding to the list.): Now the pump swap is LOUD and I even set it to quiet and at a reduced speed but that doesn't help. I don't know what's going on inside, but it doesn't sound very good. Cooling isn't very good either, so I'm pretty sure the pump is defective. FIRST RATING: A defective fan bearing makes a loud noise after just a few days. Sold out, therefore no guarantee. immediately responded with excuses that they needed more information. When I immediately replied with all…

is quiet, it's dead quiet. Fans only run at 375rpm, 3950X idle at 37oC, light load at 48oC, full load at 60oC (even without thermal paste, wait for Artic MX-4, it should drop the board a few more degrees). didn't bother the DDR4 slot on my X570 Aorus Ultra mobo - AM4 brackets included - Easy to install brackets, screws. Cons: - Paper instructions are pretty primitive. I was expecting a more detailed guide for the $180 product. The instructions in the manuals are incomplete: I spent hours trying

This AIO cooler is a great thing for a computer, the performance (in terms of cooling) isn't great, it works like any other 360mm all-in-one, the pump is silent , but the fans have to work harder when the Ryzen 9 3950X gets a little warm. The only real advantage this cooler has over the others is the very nice strainer on the pump as well as the fairly easy installation. was running, which could be a problem if the slots are close to the CPU socket, and the second option is if the hose exits…

This is a very good AIO and does its job well. My problem is that the hoses and vent cables are placed in a way that makes it difficult to place them right side up and still clear the RAM and GPU. That's not true for everyone, but it was for me and I fought for the top spot for a while before deciding that there really was only one way for me. Unfortunately it was upside down so I checked the manual and it specifically told me I could rotate the display 90 degrees after installation. Great I…

Editing my previous review. The 115X bracket actually supports Intel's Socket 1200. I used Noctua NT-H2 thermal paste and am currently using a 10700K processor. The idle temperature is 25-28 degrees Celsius. The highest temperature I've seen according to this cooler's display was around 45 degrees Celsius. The cooler is front mounted with fans pushing air in. The pump is also very quiet. I had to feel the lines from the pump to the reservoir to make sure it was working. The supplied fans are…

I don't even know where to start. I bought this to replace my 4 year old Corsair that was losing fluid. Common to all AIOs. When I opened this I immediately regretted choosing NZXT. I've always associated them with the poor man's brand. Cheap quality. Bad innovation. It's just all bad. First, the hoses are several times smaller than my previous Corsair. More comparable to Asetek in the early 2000s. The included USB connector doesn't reach all the way to the motherboard tray, forcing you to…
