Great AIO for AMD Sytems
Coming from a simple Cooler Master air cooling system, the NZXT Kraken has made a significant impact on keeping my 5800X CPU under control as well as reducing noise. The ease of installation was a huge bonus for me and I had no issues installing this AIO into my medium-sized case as well as my partner's larger PC case. I have my radiator in the front of the case and my partners on top, as her case had more clearance. On average, the temp in our office (where we have both of our computers running quite a bit) has seen a significant decrease in temperature and noise since switching. Would recommend to anyone with an AMD CPU!

Keeping it cool
So far staying cool with the NZXT kraken!! Easy to install on a 510i custom build. Keeping temps at bay with Ryzen 7 5600. I would say good value.

I’m happy
I7-11700f does not go above 70C when running halo infinite maxed for hours out at 1080p. I hate excessive RGB, but this has a amount. The NZXT logo is kind of cheesy, but luckily you can turn it off in their software. I got this to replace my prebuilt computer’s horrible underwhelming and lazily installed CPU cooler.
