What a great product. This keeps my AMD 3900x very cool. I rarely go over 60°c. I applied my own Thermal Paste and haven't had any issues. The fans are high quality and they are very quiet though I wish there was RGB on them. I do like that the fans are Black and Not ugly brown like some fans are cough*(noctua). The Radiator Barely fits in my Corsair 220T case with my ASUS Dual Rtx2070 Oc edition. I plan to get a larger case for when I get a New Rtx 3080 because with this radiator it will not fit in the 220T The RGB on the pump has alot of cool settings. I sat and messed with for an hour. The hoses are high quality and extra long which is nice. They are also flexible but not too flexible which prevents Kinking. Ive had it 9 months and run the pump very hard and still have no wine or water sounds. I highly reccomend this over Corsair products. I Dont know why people complain about the NZXT software its very intuitive and easy to use.

A little lackluster on appearance

The cooler is great. The RGB infinity mirror is a nice touch but overall the AIO is in general a little lacking on appearance touches. The stock fans were okay but again, very boring. Good enough static pressure to keep temps under control while pushing through the radiator a mesh from panel and a fine mesh filter. I ended up giving them to a friend and switching out to corsair LL120's within the first week. It works great and keeps my i7-10700k overclocked to 5.3ghz all core under 80°c at all times even under extremely heavy repeated blender renders. The reason im rating at 3 stars it it requires the NZXT CAM software to use and change any settings for the RGB or any other settings like that. TL;DR overall good cooler, needs cam software to use, lackluster appearances, weak stock fans

Upgraded to an I9-10900k and heard you can cook steaks on it so decided to keep it cool with this AIO, Pretty straightforward to install includes mounting bracket for intel. No issue, works great and when you download the NZXT software you can customize the colors on the round mirror. CPU on idle is around 30c and haven't seen it go past 50c. I think my GPU gets hotter at ~50c.

Cooler itself works great, keeping my wife's 9700k @5ghz All-Core no problem. Only issue I had was with the infinity mirror display, while peeling the protective sticker off it revealed a nasty looking etched damage underneath. Submitted a ticket to NZXT to see if they can send me a replacment part (If it's removable), besides that working great and fairly quiet too.

High quality product.
Looks amazing.
At this price you can probably get a better performing 360mm, but if you want something fancy this is it.

Running it over a i7 13700k and keeps it at 30c idle and 60-65 under load. Install wasnt as intimidating as i thought. This one came with the LGA1700 bracket.

If you get this aio, keep in mind that it does not come with the am5 standoffs and will not mount. But the cooler itself is fantastic.

Easy to install, looks great and performs pretty good for the price. I did remove the preaplied thermal paste because I had a better quality one. Tried it with the preaplied thermal paste and it was about 3 degrees hotter with it. Not a huge difference but I'm very picky about every extra heat my cpu gets.

The 360mm Kraken X73 water cooler has no trouble cooling my overclocked 10700k at 1.35V and 5.1Ghz. It is also a very attractive cooler. The turnable CPU block also means you can use it in any orientation. If you have a 10th Gen Intel Desktop CPU, I highly recommend this cooler if you want to overclock.
