NZXT Kraken X42 Review 5

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 07/24/2017 11:25 AM [ 9 comment(s) ]

We review the NZXT Kraken X42 Series Liquid cooler, the little brethren of that X62 we reviewed. The smaller model is nearly as good as its big brother though. This revision CPU cooler is compatible with CAM software. This allows you to program, customize and monitor this all-in-one liquid cooling solution for your processor. Armed with two PWM fans and a nice radiator the performance should be really good, and with the CAM software you can monitor temperatures, adjust cooling performance and customize LED lighting directly from your desktop.

Good review, thanks! Nice 140mm AiO although a bit pricey considering it has a 140mm rad, 120€ is price range where decent 240mm AiO's can be found. But for small ITX and HTPC builds X42 could be just perfect.

As you just sad HH although we're a bit tired of this RGB stuff LED tubes on this one looks rather interesting and you can dim it enough with pretty nice NZXT CAM software to be on "non eye-violent" mode.

page 9, "...We decided to go with the Core i7 4790K as it literally is the hottest processor your money can get you...."

^^^ :) You have to update this statement boss.

That whole page would deserve an update as you are presenting pretty old processors as the ones to buy nowadays.
