Really nice cooler for my cpu one of the best out there

Works wonders in my setup! CPU never reached passed 65 degrees.

Exelent product and fully working for 2years already.

This thing keeps my processor cooler than my Corsair H110i did while looking much better doing it. Nzxt is a solid brand and I'd recommend them. Personally recommend for the 5900x, idles at 29c.

Easy to install and working well. Tried another brand which failed twice.

Works as expected with my custom built computer…..

This is a great AIO cooler compared to alternative cheap brands from other competitors. It runs very silent and has great performance depending on the workload you are doing. I recommend this cooler for people who first starting their builds and if you have the money, go for the Z series with the custom AIO screen.

Great cooler and very sleek look! The screen is very clear and the fans RPM can be adjusted within the software so that’s nice.

Kept my CPU at amazing temps, would recommend to a friend!

Using this cooler with Ryzen 9 5950X cpu, keeping it at low 40's at idle, maxed out at 72C under all core stress testing. Was very easy to install in my older Thermaltake A71 case which would only accept up to 240mm AIO cooler. The lighting is OK, but a non-factor for me.

Very solid aio. Keeps my 13700kf at around 60c while gaming.

Very easy to install, also works with the new intel lga 1200 socket. i7 1070k never gets above 55C under 100% load.

I actually downgraded from a X63 to the X53 due to space constraints in my new case but even this smaller one is just as efficient and quiet as the slightly larger one. Can recommend as an alternative to air cooling.

Great cooler for a starter PC or needed a liquid cooler.

a couple important tips: when mounting AIO coolers vertically, the radiator pipes should be on the bottom. if they're on the top, you're more likely to get some gurgling noises from the pump as any trapped air bubbles may get sucked into the pipes and create a gurgling noise. If you're mounting the radiator to the top of the case, the position of the pipes doesn't matter... just whatever works best for your layout. also, make sure you plug the 4 pin connector from the pump to the "AIO" or "PUMP" fan connector on your mobo. these connectors will run at 100% power allowing your software (NZXT Cam, in this case) to control the pump speed. if your mobo doesn't have those fan connectors, you can use any other fan connector such as "CHA" or "CPU", but if you do this make sure you set that connectors power in bios to full power or disable any speed control for that specific connector. again, this will allow the pump to receive full power from the mobo and NZXT Cam will control the pump speed.

Easy install, looks beautiful in my case and works like a charm. Dropped my cpu temp by a decent margin compared to my older fan cooler, which itself didn't do a bad job either. It was just a tad warmer then my liking at peak performance.

"This is my AIO Radiator, there are many like it, but this one is mine..." That is what comes to mind with this AIO. Performance is solid, reliable, cooling is what you expect. There is really nothing special about this AIO, but it works as intended. The pump is manufactured by Asetek, they are great. So naturally the Kraken is a reliable work horse. Their quality and control sets the standard, they stress test their parts immensely, and you can tell. Build quality is QUALITY!!!! Never once have a had a problem with their pumps, and I've never heard any owners complaining of leaks. The Kraken X53 is for those looking for a solid product. The infinity mirror looks great. NZXT's CAM software is easy to use and allows your to change the color of the LED lights and cooling profiles. Cable connection is easy and pretty much self explanatory. The pump is quiet when placed on silent, but can get pretty loud when running at 100% power. The fans get air moving, and can get somewhat loud at high speeds. Overall, this is a great pump! You can't go wrong with it, but don't expect to wow any computer enthusiasts...

Works well no issues and with NZXT addon software setting up the RGB is fun and custom all the way. i9 12900K temps stay cool under load and fan noise is minimal. Happy I bought this very satisfied.

I knew before purchasing this that I was making a great decision. When I finally built my PC I was reaffirmed that my purchase was indeed great. Easy to install pretty much the same steps as any other CPU AIO Liquid Cooler. Comes with brackets for both Intel and AMD AM4. The waterblock was one of my most favorite parts about this cooler. No matter in what orientation you install this AIO you can always have the NZXT logo on it appear upright thanks due to the fact that it rests on a 360 degree rotational dial.

Bought an openbox and it has everything in there i installed it days ago and im loving it. Its quite big make sure you measure your pc case first before buying. Overall good perf can do indicators if yemp going high
