Bear with me, as everything you describe (for the time being), liquid temp etc, still points to the cooler working fine, and there's an issue somewhere with mounting (not your fault, can be cheap parts losing holding strength over time). Intel, the Intel Logo, Intel Inside, Intel Core, and Core Inside are trademarks of Intel Corporation in the U. The product we test in specific is the Kraken X62, an updated design with new cooling block and regulated control for pump and fans.

the heat output of CPU and heat transfer from cooler's coldplate to liquid is the bottleneck at that point. Like its direct predecessor, the NZXT Kraken X62 also relies on a slightly enlarged dual radiator made of aluminum in 280 mm format. I recently purchased a ryzen 7 5800x3d processor for my old kraken x62 cooler that I bought 6 years ago. What takes this cooler over the top compared to many other AIOs we have seen, though, is the elegant looking head unit with RGB LED lighting that just doesn't quit when it comes to options for control. There is an image of the Kraken installed in a chassis and reasons why this should be your next cooler.GAIN GREAT POWER WITH LESS HEATThe NZXT X62 Kraken series is a powerful all-in-one CPU Hydro Cooler that features two 140mm fans, addressable RGB channels and NZXTs signature mirroring effect to provide stunning lighting, all controlled by CAM’s software interface.

Fine nylon mesh sleeves strengthen the rubber tubing, providing durability and protection against mishandling. After removing a cover from the top of the head unit noting to connect all the wires, this is what the pump, cover, and top window look like. In this image, we have the LGA2011 and 2011-V3 standoffs and the LGA115X and LGA1366 standoffs in the front.

Adjust the orientation of the pump head to fit the needs of your motherboard without affecting the direction of the logo. You hook up the LCS unit towards a USB port and then the software allows you to program, customize and monitor this easy to install liquid cooling solution. We've seen and tested many of them as Corsair, Asetek, Cooler Master and yes NZXT and so on all have interesting kits. The larger bundle is used to power the head unit via SATA power, it has a 3-pin fan connection for PWM signals from the motherboard, and can power four 4-pin fans.
