AMAZING COOLER, terrible RGB
4 Stars
AMAZING COOLER, terrible RGB
The cooler is absolutely amazing and keeps my 12700k at 20°c while idle and no more than 40°c while gaming running at 30% all the time on cooler.Really nice how it came with pre-applied thermal paste which is doing great.Kinda annoying that you can’t fully control the the whole cooler in bios, you have to have NZXT Cam running at all times and have it on start up if you want to be able to set any type of curve.Would be 5 stars but the rgb is terrible, only like 7 LEDS and not very bright compared to others. You would think for $200+ you would get some decent lights.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great AIO!
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2022
I decided to give NZXT Kraken a try after i had bad experiences with Corsair Hi Capellix AIOs (their pumps are unbearably loud). According to many reviews Kraken and Corsair Hi series go head to head for the top spot in AIO business. I've tried both, and i like Kraken a lot more than Corsair.

Noise: In my build i strive for ultra silent build with maximum performance. As i mentioned before Corsair pumps are really loud, they sounded like a dental office practice right next to my ear; after a while the sound started to drive me crazy. I've read reviews that NZXT fans are not great and are very loud, so as i bought my x73 Kraken i also ordered (x3) Noctua NF-A12 120mm fans. Let me tell you guys, this set up is dead silent. The pump is barely audible even at 100% load mode and Noctua fans are well know for their performance and silence. I don't know how loud Kraken is with original NZXT fans, but Kraken AIO with Noctua fans is silence enthusiast's dream.

Perfomance: Performance is great, Kraken is actually fares a bit better than Corsair. I get 35C idle on boosted CPU speeds @ 4350MHz and i get 70C on 100% multi-threading test in Cinebench. Corsair was 40C idle and 69C is Cinebench.

Aesthetics & RGB: This one is very subjective, because different people like different things. Personally i prefer Corsair pump design plus their RGB quality & brightness is twice that of Kraken, but constantly buzzing pump was a deal breaker for me.

Installation: Corsair AIO was harder to install. Each fan comes with 2 wires one for RBG one for fan control, it also comes with a command module with more wires. Kraken has a lot of wires too, but it's set up was more straightforward and easy. The length of wires was just enough for my needs but barely. One thing i didn't like about Kraken set up is that i could not install pump-head traditionally at 90 degree angle to the right because it's water houses extend too far into RAM housing territory, thankfully the pump head is easily rotatable & adjustable, so i settled for a 45 degree angle set up.

Conclusion: If i could i would take off half a star for subpar RBG brightness, inability to mount pump-head at 90 degree angle and wires that should be a bit longer, but all that is not enough to take down a full star in my opinion. All things considered NZXT Kraken X73 is great AIO, it cools wonderfully, it's dead silent and it's pretty good looking. Worth the premium price, and it lives up to multitude of positive reviews online.

My Build:
CPU: Ryzen 7 2700X
MOBO: ASUS ROG Strix X470-F Gaming
GPU: EVGA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER SC
RAM: G.SKILL Trident Z RGB 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4 2400Mhz, CAS 15-15-15-35
NVME: Samsung 970 PRO
PSU: Corsair AX Series AX760

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice and cool! LCD customization is a cool fearure
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2024
Installed on i9 14900K. Keeps it cool, looks cool, and you can customize the LCD to display different.things, even animated gifs! Rgb software works hand in hand with the RGB fans on the unit as well as additional nzxt fans I installed on the front portion of the case. This is my first liquid cooler, and it's much quieter that my old giant heat sink and fan setup. Nice to have a visual of the temp looking inside as well. I currently have it setup to have the led lights white, and they gradually change color as temp goes up. It never goes red because the CPU stays very cool. There are a bunch of options for the leds. The sync with music/sound is pretty neat. My kids for a kick out of that.

It does the job with some eye candy. Ver happy with the purchase.

Estoy a gusto con mi compra, estaba reemplazando una refrigeración líquida de Aerocool que me estaba dando problemas y la X63 Kraken fue una gran adquisición, increíblemente bajó 6-8 grados de temperatura en comparación con la Aerocool. Desafortunadamente no puedo utilizar el Cable micro usb que trae porque no tengo más puertos USB libres en la placa madre.
