    Easy to set up, not too noisy. Thankfully My case had a window to take the bracket out on the motherboard without removing the motherboard from the case. Since I had an AMD CPU I had to keep my original plate for that cooler so if you don't have yours you might want to think of a different cooler. My temperatures dropped 5⁰ when before they were constantly reaching 90⁰, so for me that was worth it. Also it created a lot of space for my RAM since I had a big radiator tower in there before.

    This is my first water cooler and man I gotta tell u this thing is soo cool. Just by the way it looks the way it sounds this thing is amazing. The software is super easy to use (keep in mind I have the brain of a actual potato) and where the pump is there is a little screen that you are able to customize like I was able to put pictures of me and my wife on there. If u don’t own one of you just looking to try it out I would 10/10 recommend you try this cooler out.

    I really like this AIO. Cools my ryzen 5 cpu well, it's quiet, and the screen option is awesome. I'm able to monitor my temps just by glancing on my PC next to me instead of using software overlays.

    This was really easy to install. It stayed quiet and cool. When playing MW 2019, I get around 180 fps with an i7 12700k paired with a Gigabyte Vision 3060 12 GB, and even on high settings, my CPU temperature doesn't go above 140°F.

    Amazing cooler with good temps just wish the LCD screen was a bit bigger. Other than that is perfect for an amazing looking build and has 2 more cables to daisy chain the fans and for less visible cables. Easy to install and to me it’s beginner friendly didn’t have a hard time to to install.

    Great Thermal Solution

    This product was an amazing choice for my cpu. I run an intel chipset which is notorious for running hot and this AIO absolutely nulls out all of that heat and disperses it properly. However, I had attempted to run it with its stock thermal paste solution and it did not perform well enough for my Intel Core i7-9700k, I had to replace the thermal paste with some of my own I had stashed away. NZXT's programming software for thia product was very easy to install and set up as well. But overall its a pretty good choice for an AIO.

    Great AIO for a cpu that needs some cooling muscle

    Overall, great product. I'm using a Ryzen 7 7800x3d, (which is known to run hot), and this new version kraken keeps my cpu around 60-65°c under a few hours long gaming session. Cant ask for anything more than that. LCD screen looks decent as well, but if you're really going for the wow factor of the LCD screen, shell out a few more dollars for the upgraded kraken that has the higher pixel count LCD screen. For me though, I just wanted something to show cpu/gpu temps, and this thing works grest for that. Highly recommend this AIO!

    The installation process for this was super easy. Depending on how you install the fans you might have to run a bios setup. But thats pretty easy to change. Overall this was a great purchase. My cpu is ryzen 5 3600 nothing is OC all stock settings.

    Using the Ryzen 7 7700x and it hits 20-35 idle. Looks beautiful as well and lists good info of your temps. If you have extra more money willing to spend, i would go for the elite version for better screen quality.

    Perfect AIO for my Fractal North case, cooling a Ryzen 9700x and great for a NO RGB build, straight to the point does it's job and a great one at that. Ease of installment, first Liquid cooled PC ive had, the rest have been air cooled, beginner and DIY friendly FYI The AIO screen is a squared screen (you can see it in the photos)

    Super easy to install and keeps the CPU ice cold. I’ve never seen my temps above 45*C while playing on long nights! I also like that you can add custom pictures to the screen as well!

    I used this for my first water cooled rig. The installation couldn’t have been easier, and the software you use allows for customization of the display screen on the block. It keeps the AMD 7800X3D nice and cool.
