💡 How to pick a CPU cooler
What to look for:
  • TDP rating must exceed your CPU's TDP
  • Socket compatibility (AM5, LGA1851, etc.)
  • Fits within your case's cooler height limit
💰 Air coolers are reliable and quiet. AIO liquid coolers handle high-TDP CPUs best

★★★★★awesome 280mm cooler
I had to do a warranty around 2 years into having the device NZXT was fantastic contacted me and processed a warranty on the device paid for shipping and replaced it with a brand new device ..Excellent service.

★★★★★Great product, splitter cable provided not compatible with Lian Li
Purchased with the lian li 24 and 8 pin. Ran out of ports for the kraken to set lcd screen to desired image. Writing this review to serve as a caution. If you plan on using more than the 2 ports provided by the MOBO get a splitter/hub. The provided NZXT splitter is not compatible with my lian li strimmer cable.

★★★★★Awesome
It keeps my really expensive CPU cool enough where it doesn’t take damage over long time and will last an extremely long lifetime and they’re relatively good priced for having a screen on them

★★★★★Doesn’t work with Linux, and a little finicky.
Sometimes the screen doesn’t work, and I have to manually reset it in NZXT Can, also does not work with Linux.

★★★★★Fan rpg underwhelming
Its working great EXCEPT for the RGB on the fans,its keeping my new am5 rig nice and cool but the only Rgb component i can access to adjust is the pump lcd screen set up if there is a way its not very intuitive, ive owned on of these before and hand no problems then. I bought it again as i had good results LAST TIME across the board before and to give the case lighting some pop in the new rig and am more than a little DISAPPOINTED with the so far UNDERWHELMING fan rpg options with this aio
