    NZXT destroyed my PC's cooling and offered no solution

    I am writing this because NZXT’s support has left me with an unusable workstation. I originally owned a Kraken Z73 that worked perfectly with my sTRX4 (Threadripper) setup. Following a warranty claim, NZXT support instructed me to permanently destroy my functional Z73 before they would ship a replacement.

    They sent me the Kraken Elite 360, only for me to discover—and for them to later admit—that this unit is physically incompatible with the sTRX4 socket. The cold plate is too small to cover the CPU, and they do not offer a bracket for it.

    The result? I followed their instructions, destroyed my original cooler, and now I have a "replacement" that doesn't fit and a dead computer. Instead of sending a compatible unit or offering a refund, they told me to "contact AMD" for a bracket that doesn't exist for this model.

    If you are on a high-end platform, be very careful: NZXT’s RMA department does not seem to check compatibility before asking you to destroy your hardware. I am still waiting for a professional resolution.

    Had to return it...

    The Turbinepump is noisy no matter what. It is NOT going to the advertised 1200rpm because it has a firmware safety feature that cuts at 1600rpm (20-30% speed is the same) I don't like that new pump and switched to a "Kraken 360" with the older asetek pump - silent again.

    Superior and Sublime!

    If you appreciate a simple design, this is the perfect choice. The pump is very quiet, even at high speed. The display isn't excessively large, but it's also small. The resolution is high, and uploading GIF background images is simple. Various display options are available, so there's something for everyone. I have the pump in white.

    La mejor inversion que hice para mantener el CPU a una temperatura estable y refrescante, Super silencioso y la pantalla es bastante grande y super comoda de ver, El driver de NZXT CAM es super facil de utilizar, Es una maravilla para poner videos personalizados o poner lo que tu quieras. 100% Recomendado
