NZXT Kraken X60 review

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 01/25/2013 09:26 AM [ 15 comment(s) ]

NZXT recently unleashed the Kraken X60 liquid cooler, we test and review it. The Kraken X60 is a 280mm radiator based LCS unit that offers pretty solid performance numbers as you are about to find out. Combined with a cooling infrastructure provided by Asetek this all-in-one and easy to install kit can even be connected towards your PC through USB, where you can monitor and regulate the LCS unit and apply presets to make the LCS unit either silent, or high performance.

THank you,i was waiting for this review,very good
in the Concusion (in the "Stress" part)you wrote:

"but really there are only very few in our tests that kept the temperature acceptable, and that was the 70 EUR Noctua NH-D12."

Maybe you mean the NH-D14?
Anyways,i'm asking myself if i buy the Kraken, or the NH-D14,or i must pay for a real watercooling installation,right now my NH-U12P-SE2 show me all his limits on the 3770k.
i have one question,in my country(France)when i look at the differents (online) shops for the NH-D14 i see the socket is for "1156/1366/775 & AMD AM3/AM2+/AM2",but i don't see 1155,can someone tell me more please,
Thank you.

Ah I must have been asleep. Fixed both the Corsair and D12 typo, the D12 should indeed be the D14 (that big-azz dual fan cooler).

Wenimin - 1155/1156 is the same socket wise, so you should not worry about that.
