Keeps Cool

Using a 9850x3d and I got to say while heavily gaming my temps only reach 45c, while at idle I'm at 30c. On the other hand, I would like the see the cables out of sight a little more.

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.

My old nzxt 120mm aio could barely keep up. Decide to go all out. Doesn’t even come close to working hard
