Description

The NZXT Kraken X53 is a water cooler with RGB lighting that fits on every processor socket from Intel or AMD. Even on the AM4 socket from AMD. Program the RGB lighting via the CAM software for a colorful water cooler. Thanks to the large LED strips, it emits a full light. Choose from the 4 speed settings for the 120mm fans and the water pump for either a maximum cooling performance or a low noise level. The copper heatsink conducts the heat away from the processor right away. This way, you expand the lifespan of your processor. NZXT believes in the quality of their water coolers and offers a 6-year warranty.

Top performing AIO cooler

Excellent cooling performance
Quiet
Nice software to monitor the temperature
A bit on the pricey side

This AIO cooler performs great and keeps my CPU even under the heaviest workloads (eg Star Citizen) below 60C. The pump is quiet and the fans on the radiator produce a slightly quieter than average noise level.

Everything needed for mounting on an Intel or AMD CPU is included. Make sure that you read the manual carefully so that you know which bags with bolts you need for mounting. NOTE: For Threadripper CPUs, the required backplate must be ordered separately.

The installation manual is somewhat minimal, and mainly contains pictures with short descriptions. If this is your first time mounting an AIO cooler, a video tutorial for mounting the NZXT Kraken X53 is recommended. Furthermore, the cooler does not come with tools for cable management. Because a reasonable number of cables need to be connected, it is advisable to ensure that you have enough material to properly hide the cables.

Via the NZXT Cam software you can easily monitor the temperature, as well as set profiles how hard the pump and fans have to work at which temperature.
