A:AnswerYes 1700 hardware is included in the one I recently purchased, though if you somehow manage to get one that was produced before Mid November of 21 (Highly Unlikely), NZXT will send you an adapter kit for free.
A:AnswerThe Kraken X73 is LGA 1200 compatible. My motherboard is a Gigabyte Aorus Master Z490 with the LGA 1200 socket for the i9-10900K processor. I have the KRAKEN X73 installed and so far it’s been performing great...and the RGB is really nice.
A:AnswerWell they are both 360 and pretty much the same except the Z has rgb lights and the pump or side that mounts to the cpu may have some differences but other than that same thing just one has all the pretty lights and the other don't ( x ).
A:AnswerRight out of the box, no. You would need 3 120mm fans up top (if the case supports it) and mount to those. But right as of right now the care comes with a smaller version of this under a different brand. It should work okay for not but this would be a nice upgrade in the future.
