NZXT Kraken X62 280mm - All-In-One RGB CPU Liquid Cooler - CAM-Powered - Infinity Mirror Design - Performance Engineered Pump - Reinforced Extended Tubing - Aer P140mm Radiator Fan (2 Included)

Product Information

To fully test the Kraken X62 I put it to the test on my Intel i7 8700K which is currently overclocked to 4. Once powered, the NZXT name and the ring surrounding it will glow with light, but the color or mode is your choice to make. I took the cooler back off, watched GamersNexus teardown of the cooler, and decided to remove the screws for the copper plate and the plastic housing, WITH OUT destroying the pump or anything else, and I was then able to gracefully disconnect the radiator lines. The lower section allows you to select a preset mode of lighting, or you can choose to use them in a static color using the color options or RGB codes on the right. We do not suggest that you use the fans at full speed, but you can easily run the pump at maximum, and get the best of both worlds, great thermals, and as little noise as possible.

The all-new Kraken Series features the most advanced controls ever to be included in an all-in-one liquid cooler. Everything, including the pump, radiator, and the fans, have been redesigned to bring you the greatest experience in liquid cooling, all backed by an industry-leading 6-year warranty. With a few years of abusing computer parts, he decided to take his chances and try to get a review job. With the brushed metal head unit, the tinted top lens, quite the RGB LED show, sleeved tubes, and a sleek looking radiator with the NZXT name molded into the sides of it.The dashboard is where you can look to see CPU temperature and usage, video card temperature and usage, fan speeds, drives and space, even RAM information. This is higher than ambient, but it is to be expected, the i7 8700K does put off a fair amount of heat, especially when overclocked, even at idle. I would set them to the motherboard and set up a fan profile curve in the BIOS for them based on temperature of the CPU until its patched.

At this point, we do have the overclock applied, but PWM is still sending signals to control speeds of the fans and pump.PayPal Credit and PayPal Pay in 3 are trading names of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH. I then filled the lines / radiator with white vinegar and shook it around, emptied it, and repeated a few more times. After removing the plastic cover that protects the copper cold plate and pre-applied time, we get a clear view of what is under the head unit There are four screws which will need to be removed if you want to use this on AMD motherboards, and we see that the TIM is evenly applied and debris free. The next panel we come to is purple, and begins with specifications, shows socket support, covers the warranty, and even delivers performance results.

The next step to take is to move the adjustable ends on the Intel backplate to the inner spot for this LGA115X motherboard. Through CAM’s software interface, users can fine-tune settings to ensure an optimal performance, even in the most intense gaming sessions.I moved the system to a Fractal Design Meshify C White mid-tower case with the radiator front-mounted and two 140mm fans on top exhausting and one back mounted 120mm also exhausting. So summed up, once unboxed you'll spot the cooling unit consisting of the radiator assembly, fan and brackets + back plate that support a very wide range of AMD and Intel processors. When i had the pump on 100% in the bios (asus,ryzen 3600) it ran in silent mode (2000 rpm) so i installed nzxt cam after the kraken x firmware software update there was. AMD recommends not to use any monitoring Software (NZXT CAM) with Ryzen 3000 to get the low C-States on idle. Fine nylon mesh sleeves strengthen the rubber tubing, providing durability and protection against mishandling.
