and, as before, we've found the default silent profile a tad aggressive in the way it quickly ramps up. When it comes to choosing a Kraken X RGB AIO cooler, it all depends on what size you need the radiator to be. NZXT opted to remove the ability for the fans mounted to the radiator to be controlled directly through CAM via the CPU block. This is the first AIO that I've ever used and it seems like a 280mm isn't enough or something's not right. Not only do you get the main pump and radiator combo unit, but also two fancy NZXT Aer P140 RGB fans.

You know games are still coming out on PS4 and XBONE with 90% of gamers being totally fine with their performance and those bulldozer cores are literally half the speed of Zen 2.skill trident Z Neo rgb 32gb 3600mhz cl16-19-19-19-39, oc to 3733mhz with the same timings Speaking of which, for the X63 RGB, NZXT made this surface area a little larger (and brighter) so you'll be able to see the effect clearer after being installed.

Samsung 850 250gb and Adata SX 6000 Lite 500gb  I mean all the way back to X58 and i7 extreme chips and even the 6400+ AMD dual core flag ship was hot as fuck.

The larger CPU block surface area for the LCD infinity effect is a nice touch, so too are the addressable RGB fans. That said, 90C under full load for one of those chips really isn't that bad, and I wouldn't put the money into investing in a better cooler. NZXT took the Kraken X63, made the CPU block surface a little larger for the infinity effect, threw in some RGB fans, added the latest 7th Gen Asetek pump, and made it so you can swivel the NZXT logo.

What this all creates is quite the capable cooler on paper, which should be more than up to the task of cooling an Intel Core i9 or AMD Ryzen 9 CPU. This demonstrates that the Kraken X63 is capable of keeping even the most powerful CPUs cool under heavy load. Just seems like the x3d WANTS to reach quite high temps, and that is prioritizes speed before temperatures. That's a space heater and all condensed to a 40mm/square single surface area to pull thermals from, with the addition of transistor density and single core complex or CCX. Lapping both the CPU and cooler only really makes sense when going sub zero where pastes are likely to crack.

As my ram chips dont allow for a push-push (middle fan) config, I tried going for a pull-pull config for the Noctua, but noticed that temps still get high (above 80c) during load in RDR2. NZXT has quite the catalog of all-in-one (AIO) CPU coolers in the form of the Kraken Z, Kraken X, and Kraken M series. When it reached around 85c I didn't really feel comfortable anymore, so I went out and got myself a Noctua NH-D15 SE-AM4 yesterday. That's a shame but does mean you need to plan your build accordingly so to allow for the two fans to be connected to a fan controller or your motherboard. NZXT says the LED ring in the pump is 10 percent larger and comes with a rotating top that allows you to reorient the NZXT logo right-side up, regardless of what direction the cooler is facing.The mounting bracket for Intel motherboards faces horizontally, which means the logo is right-side up.
