    4 Stars
    Runs quiet, cooler temps than stock cooler and easy to install.
    I'm running the X62 cooler on a Ryzen 5 2600X CPU, installed in a NZXT H500 case. I bought the cooler to get more consistent temps. The stock Wraith air cooler would fluctuate from 36-45 degrees at idle, back and forth, and I just wanted something consistent. This cooler definitely delivered there. I now idle at a very consistent 26-27 degrees, a 10 degree drop from the stock cooler. It also runs incredibly quiet, and now I barely even notice my PC is running most of the time. For reference, my PC is situated on the top of my desk about two feet from me.The cooler looks good, and the standoffs made installing the pump on the CPU easy as they screwed right into the backplate, holding it in place. I didn't remove my motherboard to install, although I did pull the RAM and the GPU just to give myself plenty of room in my case to work with. I also wiped the included thermal paste off and applied some fresh MX-4. The thermal paste included seemed to actually be kind of hard and mildly dry, at least on mine. It didn't smear at all when I wiped it off, instead coming cleanly and firmly off in a couple wipes. I'd recommend you plan on replacing it when you install it.The infinity mirror design looks beautiful, although I wish they would've put more LED's in it to give it a more fluid spin, as the transition from one LED to the next is mildly visible with colors spinning. It's more visible in the lettering, which seems to jump from color to color instead of transitioning smoothly. A minor gripe to be sure.I have a couple other gripes with it. For one, the power cable has four fan power connectors built into the primary cable coming off the pump. This doubles the number of wires coming off the top of the pump. I wish the fan power connectors would've been a separate plug, making it optional as to whether or not to use it. Just would've made cable management on the back of the case a little easier and cleaned up the top of the MOBO, plus four connectors are bulky and take up space in cable management on the back of the NZXT H500. It's not quite long enough to reach to the basement, so I had to hide them in one of the cable races on the back. Not a huge deal, but would've been nice to not have to at all. For those wondering, the cable consists of (1) four-pin fan connector and (3) three-pin fan connectors. Why there isn't two of each makes no sense, as the included fans are both four pin.Another thing to note for NZXT H500 users is that this can only be mounted in the 'push' orientation, at least right side up. The top of the radiator will not clear the front mounting bracket of the NZXT H500, nor will it clear the I/O cables coming through the top. This annoyed me, as I actually contacted NZXT support before I bought this and specifically asked about these clearances, and was told it should be fine. Even so, I still ordered it with the expectation that it would not fit that way, and I was not wrong. I did not check to see if it could be mounted upside down in a pull orientation. In other words, if you previously had RGB fans at the front of your case you can expect them to be no longer visible. I just installed with the included fans from NZXT.The RGB on the pump will not run with what you set it at without first running NZXT's CAM Bloatware. In other words, if you don't have this enabled at startup, your pump will run the basic white RGB until you open and run the CAM software. This actually bothers me a lot.One other gripe is that the instructions don't flow very well to me. I would've liked to see them go start to finish on Intel on one side and start to finish with AMD on the other side. Instead they're kind of mixed together. All in all they explain everything you need to do and the install was extremely easy, I just thought the flow of the instructions was weird.Overall I'm extremely happy with the looks and the performance of the product. I may sound nitpicky, but I'm merely trying to help other consumers make an informed decision before their purchase. I would definitely recommend the cooler to anybody looking for a visually appealing cooler that does everything you'd expect it to do, and does it very well. NZXT has delivered another solid product, and I would not hesitate to buy one again in a future build.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Looks Pretty, does as expected, pump died after 6 months.
    Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2017
    Edit again: 3 stars added back for excellent customer support. The RMA process was quick and painless, and here I am enjoying beautiful RGB and moderately okay cooling performance all over again.

    Edit: Took off 3 stars for dying after 6 months. I sent a ticket to NZXT asking if they'll be able to RMA it, but considering I got it from Amazon, I'm probably out of luck given I didn't purchase the one dollar's worth of insurance for two years. Why does that got to be a separate thing I have to click, Amazon? You've just costed me 180 bucks (because I ordered this for one-day shipping). I realize my issue is partly with Amazon's, but it's also with NZXT whose product failed after a relatively short period of time. Regardless, rating may change depending on my experience with the RMA.

    Brought my temps down on my Ryzen 1700 about 5-10 degrees. Mine idles at about 38 degrees, on full gaming and streaming load about 50-55, and on 100% CPU load it cruises at 75 degrees. I have it overclocked to 3.7 at 1.225v thereabouts. I live in Southern California so my idles are never going to get super low, but for a 5-10 degree difference versus the stock AMD Wraith Spire (which I suppose the reviewers suggest punches above its weight), I sort of regret paying a billion dollars for this.

    On the one hand, it does look super pretty and I've always been a style over function kind of guy, so I'm keeping it. I wish there was enough clearance to fit in the front of my Phantek Enthoo Pro, but that's what I get for not reading the product dimensions. It works fine on the top, so whatever. CAM software works fine, which I suppose should be enough to raise this to a 4-star review even though in my heart I find this a 3-star. Have to counter all the other negative-nancies who can't get their software to function. Not that I think they're doing anything wrong, but my girlfriend thinks people who can't get their stuff to work most likely don't know what they're doing so I'll have to take her side on this. Sorry guys, git gud. Her words, not mine. I swear.

    [Edit 7/23/17]
    I've since reapplied the thermal paste and moved the radiator from the top of the case, where it attaches properly, to the . . . kind-of-in-the-front of my case. It is way too large to act as my actual front intake, but I've attached it with command trips to the side of my hard drive cages and it has been a miracle worker. My temps at idle dropped 5 degrees to where it always sits as warm as the liquid itself, usually a 32-34c. At load it dropped from 75 to 65c. This has now definitely crushed my stock cooler, and I regret ever writing that about it. Bumped it up a star for performing as advertised.

    Picture attached for my ghetto mod. The command strips can't be seen from any angle, and I've braced it on the bottom with cotton swabs. A violent jiggle test ensured the command strips held it firm. The Phanteks Enthoo Pro was not designed to put 140mm fans on the hard drive cages (the holes only fit a 120mm), but from this experience I have to conclude that command strips are a viable mounting mechanism.

    5.0 out of 5 stars So far, I am loving it for Threadripper!
    Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2017
    Originally posted 8/19/2017 (May update if issues occur):

    I bought this cooler for the new AMD Threadripper 1950x. Matched with the Gigabyte Aorus x399 gaming 7board and G.Skill TridentZ ram, I have a great RBG themed system that looks great in my Corsair 760t case. I have been running this for about a week now, with no real issues with the cooler itself. Although this is not a TR4 specific cooler, it does indeed work well with Threadrippper.

    NOTE: The temperatures I am reporting on in this review are for the AMD Threadripper TR4 socket CPU. This CPU is much larger then other traditional CPUs from both AMD or Intel, and therefor the idle and full load temps I am reporting are going to be somewhat higher then what they would be on a more traditional CPU. Because of the TR4 socket's larger size, traditional AIO coolers such as this one (and others from big brands like Corsair) do not cover the entire IHS of the CPU, and because of this, they do not dissipate heat as efficiently on Threadripper as they do other traditional sized CPUs.

    AMD provided the bracket needed to mount this cooler to the Threqadripper TR4 socket. Pretty easy install. Running the cam software, I am seeing idle temps in 'silent mode' at about 31c to 33c (during warmer days in summer, like the time of this review, my room is a little bit warmer, so ambient temperatures can play a roll in this). At full load testing with prime95, or doing heavy video task with Vegas and Handbrake, temps will run to about 65c to 66c if the fans/pump stay in silent mode. Put them in 'performance mode' and they drop to about 62c.

    The cam software has been a sour topic of other reviews. I am running version 3.3.5 (the latest at the time of this writing), and I can say I am not having any real issues with it. I get great control over the pump and fan speeds, and I have no real complaints with it thus far. The only thing I had issues with, was the cloud syncing function. If you create a cam account and sign in with it, the software will monitor all your temps and upload the data to it's cloud, allowing you to downloading the mobile app and keep tab an eye on your temps via your smart phone. It does work, as I have successfully used it, but it seems hit or miss. I left my system booted up running some tests to make sure it was stable, and I was checking the temps on my phone while on to go. After a while, I assumed my system had crashed, because the cam APP told me the PC power was off, and there was no data being sent to the cloud. When i got back to my PC, both Cam and my computer where still fully up and running, but for some reason, cam quit talking to the servers, leaving my mobile app to display that my PC was powered off. Other then that, so far, the Cam software has been solid for me. It saves all my settings properly, and everything loads up the way I had it after I reboot or shut down.

    Overall, so far, I am happy with this cooler. If there are any issues in the coming days, I'll be sure to come back and update this review.

    NOTE: For those of you looking to buy this cooler for certain boards, including the Gigabyte Aorus x399 Gaming 7 board that I used, there is ram clearance issue. Be sure to research your board's specs and decide of this is going to be an issue. If you are picky about how your builds look, you might want to investigate your board's spacing between the CPU socket and ram slots, as you may have to rotate the pump to make it fit on your build, making the 'NZXT' logo no display properly. On the Gigabyte X399 Aorus gaming 7 specifically, the pump WILL block the first ram slot on the right side, especially if you have tall heat spreader ram like I do with the G.Skill Trident Z ram. On the Gigabyte X300 Aorus Gaming 7 board I am using,this is only an issue if you are only using 6 or 8 sticks of ram, as the other number of ram configurations (1,2,3 and 4 sticks) do not require you to use the first slot.

    Absolutely love this all-in-one liquid cooler from NZXT!

    Sure I could've gone with something with equally good performance, like the [[ASIN:B019955W7C Corsair Hydro Series H110i]], but it doesn't touch the awesome look of the RGB ring on the CPU block of the NZXT Kraken.

    Cooling performance is superb. My Intel Core i7 8700K gets around 35 degrees Celsius temps at light load and under heavy gaming load it never hits more than 50 degress Celsius. I have the radiator mounted at the front with fans as the intake of my [[ASIN:B074PGBGHW Fractal Design Meshify C Tempered Glass Case]].

    The dual 140mm fans are noticeably quieter than 120mm fans that I've used in the past. They move more air at lower RPMs, so this is ideal for intake and helps reduce some of the noise my system produces.

    The CAM software that controls the Kraken is pretty good and allows me to monitor temps, clock speeds, fan RPMs for CPU and graphics card as well as control the RGB lighting.

    The only downside I found with the Kraken X62 was that the tubes coming out of the CPU block may cause clearance issues with the RAM slot closest to the CPU on your motherboard. It wasn't an issue for me since I have 2 sticks of RAM, but if you run with 4 sticks of RAM on certain motherboards the Kraken X62 tubes may push lightly against the RAM stick. I've read from others that it shouldn't damage anything, but it would've been nice of NZXT to account for that in their design of how the tubes connect to the CPU block.

    I also customized the Kraken a bit by wrapping the liquid tubes with [[ASIN:B073RYVGC1 CableMod AIO Sleeving Kit for NZXT Kraken - White]] to match my colour theme.

    Overall, terrific cooler product and while it may be more expensive than others the cooling performance and design is top in class.

    Le refroidissement est vraiment bon! Bien que le prix soit élevé celui ci est complètement justifié pour le design unique de la bête et que le refroidissement que cela permet.
    On a vraiment la sensation d'avoir un produit finis et premium.
    De plus le logiciel CAM à installé pour gérer l'eclairage est vraiment pas mal car sert aussi de tableau de bord pour l'ordinateur !

    I have done a lot of research and what for to say, this is the one of the best economy high-end cpu liquid cooler.
    Pros:
    - Easy to Mount
    - Easy to use even for rookies
    - Foolproof
    - Constant flow, no spikes or drops
    - Nearly inaudible in silient mode
    - Looks incredibly good
    - Cheap compared to same performance coolers
    - Suits both, AMD and Intel processors

    Cons:
    - Quite noisy fans in performance mode
    - Does not bind with Aorus RGB fusion leds to combine color patterns
    - No custom LED patterns

    Overall, what goes performance or daily use wise I would definately recommend this cooler to nearly everyone building their PC at this moment. Price/quality ratio is great. Only cons from my point of view is LED customisation that is not a big deal anyways.
