November 19th, 2020, Los Angeles, CA – NZXT, a leading designer of intuitive software, hardware, and services for the PC gaming community, today announces an expansion of the Kraken X-3 RGB and Kraken Z53 expanding their existing line of AIO liquid CPU coolers.
Kraken X-3 RGB
The NZXT Kraken X-3 family will introduce a new variant that will include NZXT AER RGB 2 fans for builders wanting to maximize RGB in their build. The Kraken X-3 series includes the improved iconic RGB infinity mirror design with an enlarged ring size. The cap is upgraded to be rotatable to ensure the correct orientation of the NZXT logo, accommodating more builders. With the newest 7th generation pump for Asetek, the Kraken X-3 RGB series has industry-leading cooling performance for your CPU.
Kraken Z53
The NZXT Kraken Z-3 series will now include the NZXT Kraken Z53 240mm AIO in addition to the previously released 280mm and 360mm options. The NZXT Kraken Z-3 series is the perfect addition to any gaming battlestation. A beautiful 2.36” (60mm) LCD screen provides unlimited visual customization and is capable of displaying vital system health data as well as any custom image or animated GIF via NZXT CAM. With unparalleled aesthetics and performance, the Kraken Z-3 series is built with the 7th generation Asetek pump and provides builders the opportunity to express themselves in an all-new way while keeping their CPU temps cool.
Both the Kraken X-3 and Z-3 series are compatible with mainstream CPU sockets, such as Intel’s LGA 1200 and AMD’s AM4 giving builders access to high-performance cooling no matter which platform they choose.
“Our goal has always been to simplify the build experience,” says Johnny Hou, founder and CEO of NZXT. “We are giving people more options when they are building a computer. Whether it is the option to add more RGB to a build, wanting to display custom images or NZXT CAM data on their Kraken, we got you covered.”
