Customer Ratings & Reviews

This little cooler is super cool! Literally! At first I thought the screen was a gimmick, but after giving it a shot it's so sweet! The convenience of having CPU and GPU temps on the display is just awesome. Putting on custom gifs is also pretty rad! Not only does the cooler look visually stunning, but it also has pretty stellar cooling performance. It keeps my 9900K well under 65C during heavy/long gaming sessions. The stock fans are sort of loud, but they do move a good amount of air. Nzxt cam software has also improved vastly over the years and runs without many bugs. Overall, a fantastic product!

Just outstanding. Well designed, well constructed, customizable display rocks, and above average cooling. And, the software ROCKS as it supports customizing the Kraken, displays system vitals and system information on components, and can be used for overclocking. Note. I purchased the RGB fans separately.

The aio screen really pops and displays any gift you want and cools you’re cpu really well, 10/10 recommend and worth the money.

The light controls for the screen are awesome, cooling is great, NZXT makes their software very user friendly. My overclocked I7 is kept cool even with the smaller 240mm size.

The cooler works good and keeps my desktop cool. While streaming and playing games the temperature will sit around 70°C. Lcd pannel on front is works wonderfully. Easy to install, no complications

This cooler does the job and I’m running my CPU up there in terms of workload: X299 chipset w/ all 8 DIMM slots populated, 30 series video card and my temp very rarely goes above 65 degrees Celsius while rendering my pictures & videos. Be patient when installing and ensure your case is adequate for a clean install.

The NZXT Z53 is an excellent AIO cooler for your CPU. Not only does it keep the CPU nice and cool, but it looks great with a modern aesthetic and fun to use LCD display. Awesome.

Fantastic AIO that has been keeping my CPU nice and cool. Easy install and the added LCD screen really allows me to customize it to my rig.

I purchased this AIO for my son as an upgrade to his standard cooler. This is currently cooling an i9 processor and keeping the temps at bay. When originally installing this device, I connected the USB connector backwards on the pump side, which caused the pump to not run, which caused the PC to run extremely hot. Just a heads up if you are having the same issue. After correcting that issue, no issues with running this cooler. The built in display is convenient, showing current CPU temperature, or various other setting if you install the software (which I did not choose to do in this use) Overall 4/5, the only downside being the ability to install the USB header backwards with little / no keying to show how it should go in.

I built my recent PC in an older case, so I was very happy to see NZXT offered an AIO in the 240mm size. Is this 100 bucks more than the non screen version? Yes. Is it worth it? 110% in my book. My screen rotates between cpu/gpu percentage, temps, and scenes of Gundam's running. GIFs look great on this screen. Totally worth it! Oh, it also keeps my Ryzen 7 cool too. Which is kinda important for an AIO. But, again, it looks super sick.

Great addition to my new gaming pc. Software is pretty easy to use. Install was easy too. Keeps my 5800x cool.

The AIO looks awesome, easy to install, but one of the fans will not spin. Customer support is less than helpful, went through the whole troubleshooting and they say it's a safe mode of the fan and to reconfigure wiring but I followed instructions to the T. Overall disappointed because with the cost you would think the customer support would be more helpful along with the product working as it should.

The cooler works wonders. The ability to add custom gifs to the lcd screen is a huge bonus aesthetics-wise. It was also easy to install with the screws and brackets labelled and categorized in separate bags.

Yo this thing is amazing its a really good cooler for the cpu and its really easy to install and if your having truble just go to youtuve and the little screen where you can put a gif is amazing but if you can fit a 360mm in your pc just choose that one because its colling system is better

Awesome AIO. I sold my X53 to upgrade to the Z model with the gif screen. As far as I can tell there is no increase in performance so this is just a cosmetic upgrade but as fas as cosmetic upgrades go this one takes the cake.

I am loving this aio for my pc. The orginal aio i got with my pc decided it wanted to go out on me and so i spent time doing my research on the different cooling systems. I had my eye on this one due to the fact that it had a screen that told me the temps on my unit. I love how it tells me the temps of my gpu and cpu so i know if something is getting too hot. what worried me the most was applying the thermal paste but this came with paste on it already. So that was another plus to this unit. I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking to replace their aio.

Got this for my second build, wanted something a little different. And this was perfect. Easy to install and looks great. Would buy again.

Keeps my i5 13600K nice and cool with install and fitment into NZXT H5 Elite perfectly!! Cam software was a breeze to set pump and fan curves for pc. No pump whine or noise like many have stated. Shortly after building pc NZXT released new versions but love the screen size of this pump much better. No need for higher density pixel screen. Just enough to monitor CPU and GPU temps!! Best Buy had these in stock when NZXT didnt…awesome!!

Great liquid cooler! Handles my Ryzen 5900x without any problems. The LCD display is a really cool feature.

Aweseomeness, pure awesomeness. Keeps temps low and the screen is great
