NZXT Kraken X53 RGB 240mm AiO Water Cooling with Infinity Mirror, Rotatable Cap, Support Intel LGA 1700 / 1200 / 1151 / 1150 / 1155 / 1156 / 1366 / 2011-3, AMD AM5 / AM4 / TR4 (bracket provided by AMD CPU package)

After downsizing to a 14L case, I needed to change coolers as my EVGA Liquid cooler was simply to big - I thought it would only be appropriate to go back to the brand that kept my I7-7700k cool when I first got into computers - I found myself walking out of pbtech with a lovely purple box in hand and this cooler inside. I was impressed with how straightforward packaging was and furthermore how simple it was to install the cooler. Brands like Cooler Master make RGB feel more like a hassle rather than an accent, but NZXT is one of those brands that has it nailed, and despite the lighting being proprietary, I found myself enamored with how easy...view more After downsizing to a 14L case, I needed to change coolers as my EVGA Liquid cooler was simply to big - I thought it would only be appropriate to go back to the brand that kept my I7-7700k cool when I first got into computers - I found myself walking out of pbtech with a lovely purple box in hand and this cooler inside.

My cpu has never been cooler and the RGb has brought a much needed pop of color to my build - reminding me why NZXT is such a great cooler manufacturer! 10/10!!

It was so simple to install and at a great price too. It has also made a massive difference to the temperature of my CPU. I bought New World MMO and found it to be taxing on my CPU, while in game my CPU was getting up to 90 Degrees, I popped this All in One cooler in and it dropped drastically, it not get to a maximum of 55 Degrees It was so simple to install and at a great price too.

The nzxt app is great, can set the colour of the RGB to correspond to the CPU temperature. The nzxt app is great, can set the colour of the RGB to correspond to the CPU temperature.

Great cooler. Keeps my 5900x in good form. I have not bench marked it or anything and I haven't overclocked so I suspect this cooler might not be enough if you are running a similar processor and are overclocking but for all the many games I have played (modern titles) including video production. This cooler works great and it was easy enough to install.
Using the pre-applied thermal paste as well with no problems. Great cooler. Keeps my 5900x in good form.

Great product that works as advertised. Argb lighting is a stand out, and is very customisable. Would recommend Great product that works as advertised. Argb lighting is a stand out, and is very customisable. Would recommend

I fitted this unit to an i9 12900K and am extremally happy with it. Super quiet running, CPU just does not get anywhere hot enough to start throttling. Excellent instructions, love the look of it and the software is great. I fitted this unit to an i9 12900K and am extremally happy with it.

Absolutely awful instructions and details on how to be installed properly even for an experienced PC builder. If you already have fans installed in your PC, this will just overcomplicate your setup with wires which require more wire, which require even more wires. Don't touch this product with 10 foot pole even if it would save your life. Absolutely awful instructions and details on how to be installed properly even for an experienced PC builder.
