NZXT Kraken M22 Review -
Product Showcase
Here we have the high static pressure fans. You get one 120mm / PWM based as stated. Overall these are pretty good fans, however, once the fans reach full RPM you will hear it loud. NZXT calls these Aer P series of high static pressure fans, which feature chamfered intake and exhausts, winglet designed fan blades and fluid dynamic bearings.
When we flip it around we see the radiator a little better. Easy to mount. The Kraken M22 is a 120mm model. The radiator measures 152 x 120 x 32mm. And in case you are wondering, yes .. that is the location of the pump right there in the middle of the radiator. I'm not a fan of it, as we're already on a small form factor radiator and by placing the pump there, we again lose some radiator surface area.
Here we have the cooling block. There is a single USB connector for the CAM controlled LED magic behind that top plate, we'll show you that later on though.
When we flip the CPU cooling block around we see an all copper base, with TIM (thermal grease) already applied for you. Not exactly a mirror / lapped finish though the performance really is okay as you'll find out soon enough. Notice the screws on the block? That's pretty much a signature for ASETEK, so they likely are the ODM.
