This is perfect if you want far better cooling than a standard cpu fan, air flow is key with aios, very easy to install comes with pre applied cpu thermal paste which isn't bad at all. keeps my i7-11700k cool at 65c at full load in my mico itx setup,

I recently purchased this CPU cooling system for my PC build, and it definitely has some pros and cons:
Pros:
The cooling works excellently. If you want a cheaper option for water cooling for your CPU it's definitely a bargain up front.
Cons:
The rgb setup is not as straight forward as hoped. Unlike with Corsair how it comes with the rgb controller to get the rgb working. The rgb controller for the NZXT is sold seperately and sells for an additional $50 on top of the price of the cooling system. I would not have had an issue paying the extra if the controller came in the box, but I didn't see anywhere on the packaging where it says that the controller is sold seperately even though the instructions show you how to set it up with a controller.
So, if you don't care that you have to buy all the components seperately, its not terrible.

Easy to set up, currently using this on my pc that I built for my mom. She is running an intel core i5 13000f and the CPU doesn't go over 50 degrees Celsius when gaming. It was a little weird installing it since the directions that where in the box weren't that great.

Make sure of fitting to ur motherboard socket then the radiator has a filling hole for future use and the cooling is amazing I’ve been overclocking for hours with max temps in summer at 61C great product I’m a happy customer

Small but mighty! It is not recommended for high-end CPUs only because of the single 120mm fan. This has ARGB, so it doesn't work on older motherboards without an extra RGB Controller hub. My Asus ROG Strix Gaming-F motherboard only has RGB headers with 12 volts. ARGB only uses 5 volts to run.

This was a replacement for my older 240mm cooler from iBP. My old cooler had a large radiator with four fans. This has a small one with a single fan and it actually keeps my CPU almost 10 degrees cooler at idle and about 25-30 when gaming.

I had a cpu air cooler. My temperatures were high. Decided to give this water aio a shot. My pc now runs at 30-50 degrees when gaming for hours. Very happy with it. Would recommend.

This cooling kit was fairly easy to install after understanding the drawings that were provided. Seems to do a decent job of cooling the CPU and was pretty low cost.

It wasn’t too difficult to install the instructions could have been a little clearer but other than that I’ve had absolutely no issues with it and my computer runs perfectly

Bought this open box "excellent" from a local Best Buy and it's a great addition to my desktop. It was easy to set up and maneuver into place inside my full towe case.
I have an MSI motherboard and the RGB on the Kraken is controlled directly via the motherboard lighting controls - no software or hub required. When I first bought it, I thought it was defective because it was flashing red. I noticed the flashing was increasing in time and it dawned on me that it was a stacking animation that I had set for my memory and motherboard lighting. Give it a shot if you aren't seeing the lighting results you were expecting.
Great replacement for old school or large coolers.

I Bought this cpu cooler to replace my old lanky heat sink. I used to run a Be Quiet that was HUGE for my pc case. It took up so much space and made things hard to move or replace. Particularly the RAM and GPU. Since having a much smaller cooler i still dont have any overheating issues and a lot more space inside my pc case. Water cooler has always been fascinating to me so i figured i'd give it a shot and it has not let me down one bit.

Works great! Got my pc working brand as new since it has been down for a year simply easy to assemble and does the job. So far so good worth the price.
