With the brushed metal head unit, the tinted top lens, quite the RGB LED show, sleeved tubes, and a sleek looking radiator with the NZXT name molded into the sides of it. No matter what angle we take, no matter how much we try to find fault with the Kraken X62, we are coming up blank as to anything bad to say about it. the thing is the hoses and rad are cool to touch not much to differentiate, the liquid temp is at 31c even tho the cpu is 90c. I choose different fans to get max performance with as low noise as possible with no more than 1200 rpm, at 1150rpm or so (1200rpm +/- 10%) i thought it wasn't intrusive or sounded bad, so i skipped the LNA adapter so they could run without any limit. While it started off strong, the air cooler was simply not able to keep up after about a minute of Prime95 in Small FFTs mode and resulted in the system shutting down completely to avoid damage.

In this test, the max temp was 194 degrees Fahrenheit or 90 Celsius with an average of 189 degrees Fahrenheit or 87 Celsius. The bottom of the window will always display information on the Kraken, where we see the mode it's in, the coolant temperature, fan speed percentage, and the pump and fan speeds in real-time.PayPal Credit and PayPal Pay in 3 are trading names of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH. I would set them to the motherboard and set up a fan profile curve in the BIOS for them based on temperature of the CPU until its patched. The fastest we saw the fans running in the CAM software was at speeds of 1864 RPM, and boy, do they bring the noise, in the tune of 76dB.

Tried my old cooler again, while i took the kraken cooler out one strange thing happend, the thermal paste was almost perfect, only at the edges there where marks,signs of the thermal paste having contact with my cpu, theres only one screw i had to tighten so it wasn't difficult to mount it, you just need the amd brackets.X52's best result (with shouty fans at 2100RPM) can be achieved by the X62 with a low, quiet 1050RPM fan speed. Like its direct predecessor, the NZXT Kraken X62 also relies on a slightly enlarged dual radiator made of aluminum in 280 mm format. Like always I took care to thoroughly clean the surfaces and apply a good amount of quality paste when reinstalling it.

The hardware is slipped in between the fans and the radiator, and the wiring is found on top of the tubing. 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.After removing the plastic cover that protects the copper cold plate and pre-applied time, we get a clear view of what is under the head unit There are four screws which will need to be removed if you want to use this on AMD motherboards, and we see that the TIM is evenly applied and debris free. The better your problem and question is described, the easier it is for other NZXT owners to provide you with a good answer.
