Excellent Cpu Cooler

Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2021

Verified Purchase

The media could not be loaded.

Excellent cooler. Installation is pretty straight forward and similar to most all AIO coolers. Have an i5-9600k overclocked to 5Ghz and idle temps are around 28C. Max temps I’ve seen are around 60-64C. It’s a super quiet cooler, but will move a lot of air if it needs to. Nzxt’s Cam software is also really nice and allows for a ton of customization. Apparently this unit came from a company called Computer Headquarters out of California. They were nice enough to send a 32Gb flash drive with it as well. 10/10 recommend them. Would definitely buy/deal with them again.

I am extremely impressed with this cooler. It keeps me at low temps while gaming and is super quiet. I was waiting for so long for a 360mm cooler from NZXT. Works perfectly in my 570x crystal series case! On top of all that it is beautiful and CAM (software for cooler) is very simple to use.

UPDATE: Was able to overclock i7 8700k to 4.9ghz at 1.27v with temps not going over 74c during stress test. This CPU has not been delidded. This cooler is awesome!

Mostly bought for the looks.

Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2019

Verified Purchase

There are a lot of CPU water cooler kits out there, and most of them are really good.. so I chose this one for the looks. Now I’ll admit I over killed it quite a bit. I’m not over clocking, but I still bought the 360mm version because how it fit and look in my case.

So obviously without the overclocking it keeps my CPU running really cool. I used different fans so I can’t speak for the noise level. NZXT did a great job on the looks.. It’s the first thing I look at when I power the system up. I do like the CAM software quite a bit. I thought it would only before the LED, but the amount information from load/temperature, storage usage and complete hardware specs is a great extra.

So no complaints. It looks great and keeps my CPU cool

Solid CPU Cooling

Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2019

Verified Purchase

tl;dr: Got this because MW was sending my cpu temps to 95C+. Previous CPU cooler was the si glue rad version. This keeps my CPU temps under 85C even at 100% load.

A few interesting things to note that aren’t displayed on the product page:
- no need for a fan splitter, the CPU block acts as it’s own fan controller and has a three fan splitter that comes out of it.
- no need for thermal paste (unless you wanna use your own). Comes with thermal paste already on the CPU block
- WILL need SATA power available
- WILL need USB 2.0 header available on MB

Aside from that, the installation was fairly simple: put mounting bracket on the back of the MB -> mount the radiator + fans -> screw on the CPU block.

When using the fans at 100%, it is a little loud. For the most part, my fans don’t go past 65% even at high load which produces very little noise.

Good product, shaky app

Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2019

Verified Purchase

The x72 does it's job great, I have it cooling an i7-9700k and it always keeps it cool under load. It fits super easily into my NZXT h700i case too. The only gripe I have is with the software. I haven't had a lot of the extreme problems I've seen online, but it can be annoying. The biggest problem I have is the pump not getting recognized by the software which means I can't control the RGB or fan speed. The fans still run, so it's not terrible and after a reboot or two it will sort itself out. Despite this, I would still recommend it because the problems really are few and far between.

Working great you don’t need CAM!

Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2018

Verified Purchase

So I recently went down a rabbit hole and decided to upgrade my 980ti which led to a motherboard and processor upgrade, which got me here. Lemme splain.

I’m running an ROG Maximus X Z370 board with an i5 8600k OC’d at 5.0ghz right now. Prior to buying the Kraken(I got the x72 model because it would fit in my case, although I’ve heard performance isn’t much better than the 240mm x62 version)I had a Corsair H100i V2. With my previous build of an i56600k and Asus Z170 Deluxe MB the H100i was good and kept me cool with and OC of 4.8ghz. Not the case with the 8th gen processor! Even without the OC just using the stock intel boost I would push 90c on the h100i. Seems the new chips run a good bit hotter. Alas there was no way I would be able to OC the 8600k with the stock cooler. The answer?! I delidded the 8600k. I thought that had fixed my problem, but although the startup temps wouldn’t peak more than 78c it would only clock to 4.7ghz stable and temps would still hit 90c!!! This was with the delidding and only running benchmarks. How dare I try and run prime 95.

Enter: The Kraken!! I’ve been running prime 95 for the past hour straight and the peak has been 79c with the average at 55c. Here’s the exciting part. The fans are dead quiet. Where the h100i fans would be blaring and hardly cooling these are at a whisper. Now I do admit my h100i was a couple years old and might have just been past it’s prime.

Here’s the bonus. I have not downloaded or installed the CAM software that everyone seems to hate so much. I read all about it after I ordered the Kraken and thought I’d made a mistake. I have the fan header lead from the Kraken harness plugged into the cpu header and it seems that the bios is controlling the fans. I can only assume the pump is running all the time which is fine. I don’t care much about the RGB but there are independent third party programs you can use to control the lighting in the Kraken. So for now I’m staying away from CAM and enjoying every minute of the Kraken!!

Also as a side note I’m running the 5ghz with a voltage of 1.35v

It's good

Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2019

Verified Purchase

It performs really well and the looks just can't be beat. CAM isn't all that bad. Works fine, just seems a little limited. Game overlay for monitoring CPU/GPU temps is hit or miss for me, but hardware performance is top notch.

Pump failed after 6 months. I submitted a ticket with NZXT and they got back to me really fast. RMA'd the original unit and they sent me a new replacement in just under 3 weeks (several days of which was my fault since I didn't ship mine out for a few days). Customer service was awesome and I'm really happy that they took care of me without hassle. Would definitely by NZXT again.

I was able to use my backup CPU cooler until the new one arrived, but overall I'm pleased with the response time from NZXT. New one went back in without issue and back up & running again.

Fan started rattling after 7 months, CAM is a let down.

Reviewed in Canada on January 28, 2020

Verified Purchase

Being one of the aio that carries a price premium compared to other brands, you'd expect the build quality to be superior, however, that is not the case with this aio, I initially purchased it for the looks, at the time this was one of the best looking aio on the market, however, two problems that I encountered absolutely killed this product for me, one being the CAM software that you HAVE TO install in order to control the RGB on the pump among other things like fan speed, I have experienced constant disconnecting and other issues with it, they did improve it somewhat with recent updates but it is still way below the industry standard, not to mention currently you cannot sync it with any other RGB software such as the one on your motherboard or synapse, icue etc.
The second problem started happening last night, I heard strange rattling coming from inside my case, so i took it apart and after a short diagnose, i noticed it is the third fan that came with the aio making the rattling sound, it happens at low RPM sepecifically, for a premium AIO to break in such a short amount of time is unaccpectable, and due to the complexity with the cables on this aio, its just another hassle to take apart your case, cut all the zip ties and do it all over again.
over all I am very disappointed and I would personally avoid NZXT aios from now on especially seeing how better looking aios and even simple custom waterloop solutions are becoming more and more avaliable.

Tomé las temperaturas con Aida64 asi que puedes observar en la imagen que en Stress de CPU al 100% en pruebas de 10 minutos no rebasé los 64 grados todo ello corriendo a 5000MHZ. Si alguien tuviera dudas en adquirir este producto simplemente lo puedo recomendar ampliamente.
----ACTUALIZACION JULIO 2022
El kraken no pudo mantener mi i5 8600k a bajas temperaturas, el kraken no muestra fallas de bomba o fugas de agua, los 3 ventiladores funcionando, el firmware actualizado y cambios de varias de las mejores pastas térmicas sin embargo las temperaturas siempre disparadas hasta 90 grados, levanté un ticket con NZXT y no fueron posibles de detectar alguna falla, lo reemplace por un viejo enfriador mucho más sencillo que ya tenía "Cooler Master MLW-D12M-A20PW-R1 MasterLiquid Lite 120" y VOALA mis problemas de altas temperaturas se solucionaron.
