    Great Aio!

    I have had this cooler for the past 3 years and it has done a great job at keeping my I9-13900k cpu of a beast cool! It has never gone over 65 Celsius during heavy gaming loads. Thoroughly happy with this product and will buy another when this one gets too old!

    Very poor

    Purchased the NZXT Kraken 360 Liquid Cooling in May 2023. Now it seems to have an air block in the system according to my PC engineer. Not good for a product NZXT boast how good it is.

    Cpu rebooting system due to theraml throttleing.

    About 3 years old, bought it for a 2700x and has worked fine until recently.

    I put my old 20+ year old Thermaltake True and the CPU is running cooler than it ever did with this AIO.

    I was going to use the True until I got a new AIO in the mail but now I decided if a 20+ YO Air cooler can beat this thing and is still working then why am I wasting money on a AIO that is only going to fail in a few years again?

    Oh and I had to replace the fan on it 2 years ago, I use a artic p12 silent which has been dead silent and awesome.

    I love the Kraken 240

    My kraken 240 is amazing in both cooling and looks. The only disapointing part is the size of the lcd, but otherwise it is amazing.

    Cooling is great!... But the **** cable.

    Right off the bat the cooling is amazing, it was pretty quiet and looked great... but the breakout cable broke very quickly for me and only worked at an angle so just imagine how i looked when the pump stopped working for the 5th time that day and i had to dig into my case and bend that stupid cable until my pump turned back on and didnt thermal throttle my pc. and soon after that i lost the ability to use the display on it so a pretty hectic year or so i had to deal with that. i wish that breakout cable was a bit tougher for numbskulls like me and for the times that it worked it was great, cooling my Ryzen 7 7800X3D to temps of like low 70 from what i remember at high workloads.

    Snaped nut on the CPU housing...Grrr

    Hello i bought from Amazon for my new Rig...

    When installing the CPU cooler, the marked 3 Nit broke. I did not even use too much pressure.

    I have managed to still work with only 3 nut, but I would like to know where I could get a replacement.

    Regards

    Kevin

    4 Jahre In Benutzung

    Nach 4 Jahren hat die Kühlleistung nachgelassen.

    Ich musste die Flüssigkeit erneuern und die Kupfer Lamellen reinigen. Trotz dieser Problematik bin ich mit der Kühlleistung in meinem Gebrauch zufrieden.

    La bomba dejó de funcionar justo a los 3 años

    La bomba ha dejado de funcionar a los 3 años y pocos meses, la garantía es de 3 meses. Componente caro que va a la basura, anteriormente he tenido otras AIO de otras marcas que han funcionado durante más de 6 años sin problemas. No volveré a comprar una AIO de NZXT
