System cools significantly as advertised. However, my system hangs on boot when the AIO system is plugged into the proper USB header. Boots up fine when ever I unplug the AIO. This problem persists no matter which USB header on the mother board I use.
SO, I have to unplug the NZXT Kraken 280 Elite from the mother board - then turn the PC on - and it boots up fine every single time. I then plug the NZXT Kraken system back in and run the software. After that, everything works fine. Kind of sucks but at least I can use the system and it works very, very well.
CPU temp before product use: 120-130 Degrees F.
CPU temp after product use: 86-90 Degrees F.
Really helpful that this NZXT CAM system recognizes and allows me to regulate the GPU fan whose temps as a result have gone from 180 degrees F to 115 degrees F.
I'm running window 10 on a ROG Revision 5 Edition 10 mother board.
Note: I troubleshot everything before resorting to the unplug/replug method:
Changed out the CMOS battery after discharging.
Reseated all eight sticks of ram (128GB).
Reseated all power supply connections.
Switched out Graphics cards.
Removed one of two graphics cards to eliminate SLI issues if any.
Switched which USB header the Kraken unit was plugged in to.
Verified BIOS settings for USB headers.
Verified USB status in Device Manager.
Happy with the cooler. Not complaining, just informing.
