NZXT Kraken 240 240mm AiO Water Cooling with 1.54 inch square LCD Display, for Intel Socket LGA 1700 / 1200 / 115X, AMD AM5 / AM4 / sTRX4* / TR4* (*Threadripper bracket not included)

At first, I was all about grabbing a Twin Tower air cooler. But then, I spotted this sick new cooler over at pb tech (writing this on 6/05/22), and I knew I had to have it. Water cooling usually slays air cooling, especially above 120mm, and this one even comes with a frickin' screen! Just a heads up, though - the thermal paste it comes with is a bit weaksauce, so you might wanna bring your own. At first, I was all about grabbing a Twin Tower air cooler.

Bought this a few weeks ago for an upgrade. Works really well, keeps the CPU decently cool and was a pretty good price (especially considering it has a customisable LCD Screen). I would recommend this AIO to most people with a mid-tier build. Bought this a few weeks ago for an upgrade.

Product does not come with a custom AMD bracket for the motherboard but does come with a custom Intel bracket? NZXT never considered that maybe some customers might be switching from another aftermarket cooler that does not use the OEM bracket made by the motherboard manufacturer. In the end I had to use my existing aftermarket cooler bracket with the holes on the custom Intel bracket to make this work but I shouldn't have had to. It is a great product despite these difficulties but I wish the manufacturer had specified on the box that it requires the OEM AM4 bracket to mount.

The NZXT software is great in custom mode.
Keeps the i5 CPU around 50 deg C under load.

Picked one of these up to replace a Cooler Master MasterAir MA620P tower cooler that due to a fan fail had turned my desk into a purring cat.
it took longer to remove the old cooler than it did to install the new, overall its silent, and performs much better with temps down by around 10C Picked one of these up to replace a Cooler Master MasterAir MA620P tower cooler that due to a fan fail had turned my desk into a purring cat.

I've had this piece for a couple weeks and it works perfectly. It has amazing thermal performance while being able to display the thermal info on the cooler itself.
The biggest con is the size of the LCD as it doesn't fill the area but it's easily readable and super customizable. I've had this piece for a couple weeks and it works perfectly. It has amazing thermal performance while being able to display the thermal info on the cooler itself.
