Review: Unleash the Kraken X72!





NZXT super-sized their Kraken series liquid coolers, meet the x72 for cases with 360mm radiator mounts. Armed with three 120mm PWM fans and a nice radiator to go with it, the performance is really good.

@Jordan_t I have 2 Phanteks PH-F140MP's on the NH-D15. I have those two fans on the NH-D15 and the rear exhaust which is another Phanteks 140mm fan all driven by the CPU temp. They are all connected to the CPU fan headers(have 2 headers) which spin up the fans under load.
I have a custom profile in the BIOS controlling the fans that I setup after doing some CPU temp monitoring and making notes on temps. So under 99% of load conditions like playing games etc the fans are usually under 1000 RPM.

As much as I want to like AIOs I just can't. Can't relly justify the high value and risk over a decent Air Coooled solution.
Can't understand how NZXT haven't scrapped that CAM software already and built one (decent this time) from zero. They are just limitting/ruining customers experience with it.

@Jordan_t
Artic silent for case (0.3 and 0.08 sone versions) and blacknoise multiframe for radiator, all controlled by the board (turbo profile, so silent on low load, but spin up quickly under load, but since all are running below 900rpm, still silent).

It's exactly what I was thinking.
@fry178 / @JamesSneed Thanks for you answers. What would be your final choice if your main criteria are silence and performance? (without regarding the price nor the aesthetic)
@JamesSneed what kind of fan are you using?
Be Quiet! Dark Rock TF and possibly Dark Rock PRO 4 for more silence with good perf.
