According to our processor cooler expert
The NZXT Kraken M22 is a compact ready-to-use water cooler for your processor. You install the 120 millimeter fan on your computer case and place the pump on your processor. That way your cpu stays cool even when you play demanding games or overclock your processor. Via the software of NZXT you regulate the fans and set the speed seamlessly. So you limit the noise level if you can and let the fans run at full speed if necessary. You set the LED lighting on the cooling block to your favorite color or connect it to your other components.

A 120mm cooler is not a full-fledged water cooling for a PC. At one point the pump gave a ticking sound. Brought under warranty and this went well, fast service. price is very high compared to other water cooling.

This is the second unit I have bought as the first one started failing after almost 2 years. This is a very common problem with this cooler if all other reviews are to be believed. I didn't want to completely change the aesthetics of my case, so I decided to get the same unit. But pay attention to it when purchasing, I may have been unlucky but there are quite a few reviews with similar problems.
But beyond that, it can also simply be said that things eventually break, so if I have to look at what one gets at the time of purchase. It's not the best water cooler, but for the price you get a nice designer cooler that is great to use if you don't have room for a double radiator. Even if you value looks, nothing falls short here, lots of options to let the LED lighting do what you want.
The pump is located in the radiator, which is a unique design for water coolers, which means that placement of the radiator in some cabinets can be strange (pump should never be the highest point of the barrel). Also, the pump is anything but quiet, at full speed the poor thing runs at 4000+rpm and you can hear that. The only option is to put the pump in smart modes via bios options and let it run slower under low usage. Depending on who you ask, this can be good or bad for the cooler, but either way it's definitely something to consider when purchasing.
