Fine nylon mesh sleeves strengthen the rubber tubing, providing durability and protection against mishandling. With the fully programmable display, the pump can be rotated in 90 degree increments to fit the needs of your motherboard without affecting the direction of the logo or image.

Please be sure to have the following information on hand, as this will be needed in the event that a Replacement Part or RMA(Return Merchandise Authorization) is necessary. For Kraken M22, X42, X52, and X72 coolers, please connect a Mini USB (Mini-B) to USB Type-A cable from the USB port on the Kraken to any open USB Type-A port on your PC.Most PCs running Windows 10 or 11 will likely be the 64-bit version of Windows. If you are unsure as to the version installed on your PC, you can press Windows+R to bring up the Runwindow and run msinfo32. This will be listed as the System Type. Once the heart of the Kraken was secure, the installation of the radiator and fans were fairly simple. NZXT includes hardware for both direct (PC case to radiator to fans) and indirect (PC case to fans to radiator) mounting. In our testing, we used the indirect mounting method. This allows us to show off the AER 2 RGB fans! For Kraken X53, X63, and X73 coolers or the Kraken Z series, please connect a Micro USB (Micro-B) to USB Type-A cable from the USB port on the Kraken to any open USB Type-A port on your PC.

With these programs disabled from startup, restart your PC and confirm if the issue is still occurring or if the issue has been resolved. If you are able to control your Kraken's RGB again, try re-enabling each disabled program one at a time, restarting between each program being added until you find the offending program. My Kraken RGB is still not responding in NZXT CAM Rejoice, all you architects of arctic PC builds - old and new: the Kraken now comes in matte white! If you notice any distortions in these colors, this can indicate that a particular channel is failing on the Kraken and would require the cooler to be replaced. For example, a failing Blue channel will cause White to appear as Yellow while a failing Green channel will cause White to appear as Magenta. I've confirmed my Kraken is either failing or defective, what do I do next? It is important to note that the testing benches used to collect the comparative data were different. However, the conditions of the testing were meticulous replicated as best as possible)With a bright, 2.36” LCD screen capable of displaying 24-bit color, you can now completely customize the look of your CPU cooler. Whether it’s an iconic image, personal photo, funny gif, or CAM data, you can use your Kraken to express yourself in an exciting new way. If your Kraken detects while connected to an alternative USB port, this can indicate an issue with the USB cable needing to be replaced. In this situation please reach out to our Customer Supportteam. My Kraken shows up in NZXT CAM, but the color is wrong As we mentioned before, we did want to test out the Kraken Z63 in NZXT’s own environment. As it turned out, I happened to be collecting some parts to throw together an Intel Core i5 10600K-based system. And what we saw was a remarkably similar story. The Kraken Z63 held the CPU at just under 60C while under load and kept the CPU at around 40C (18C over ambient) immediately following. If after disabling all other detected programs the Kraken is still not responding in CAM, this could indicate an issue with the USB cable or the USB connection to the Motherboard. If you are using any kind of USB Expansion, Splitter, or Hub within the PC it is recommend to connect the Kraken directly to the Motherboard's internal USB 2.0 header to confirm if the issue is with the Kraken itself or due to this device between the Kraken and the Motherboard. The Kraken Z-3 series may not be for every builder. While the CPU cooler is both aesthetically stunning and does its job very well, the same is true for the X-3 Series. So, you have to ask yourself if you really need animated gifs on your CPU? Probably not. Is the thermal stability of your machine an ever-present anxiety for you that requires active monitoring? Probably not.

This All-in-One (AIO) liquid cooler is ready for high performance CPU's with the ability to fit in most cases. Show CPU/GPU temperatures or customize with GIFs with the Kraken Z LCD display.Speaking of these fans, NZXT has a good thing going for it when it comes to the AER 2 RGB. Each fan has in and out ports built into them with removable wiring, allowing for daisy-chaining the RGB elements. This saves on extra cables to manage throughout the case as well as on ports in “smart hubs.” In the case of the Kraken, that is the hub for RGB connection is built into the pump’s breakout cable - which also contains three fan header connections as well. With the rather large 280mm and 360mm radiator setup for the Z63 nd Z73, NZXT has been able to largely distance itself from such problems. Our testing setup included the following hardware: The included Aer P radiator fans are designed for liquid-cooling perfection. Featuring a chamfered intake and fluid dynamic bearings, they deliver silent operation, long-term reliability, and powerful cooling performance. In case you haven’t installed an all-in-one cooler before, it can seem daunting, but an option like that Kraken makes it fairly simple on either side of the CPU aisle. This compact mid-tower is ideal for highlighting RBG-focused builds with a front tempered glass panel that showcases included Aer 2 RGB fans along with the easy-to-build-in features of the H510.
