NZXT Kraken Z73 (RL-KRZ73-01)

The NZXT Kraken Z73 is an elite closed-loop liquid cooling system that outperforms super air coolers in both cooling efficiency and noise levels. Moreover, its performance is as close as possible to custom prefabricated dropsies, which require much more money and time. The NZXT Kraken Z53 is an all-in-one cooling system with a pre-assembled heatsink, fans, pump and water block.

The key element of the system is a 360mm aluminium radiator with a copper substrate, on which a trio of proprietary NZXT Aer P fans with PWM speed control are installed. The radiator and the pump are connected by several reinforced hoses 40 cm long in a strong nylon braid. The minimum rotation speed of the blades is fixed at 500 rpm. In this case, the CBO makes practically no noise.

At peak load, the turntables can accelerate to 2000 rpm, and the noise level emitted by them rises to 36 dB. The key element of this model is a decorative water block, which houses a bright 2.36-inch LCD display capable of displaying a 24-bit color palette. As planned by the manufacturer, this significantly expands the options for customizing the system, allowing the user to display system data, lighting effects, a static image or a looped animation. It looks especially cool in a massive case with an open stand or a large viewing window. All of the above said that the main buyers of the Kraken CBO are overclocking enthusiasts and happy owners of super-powerful Ryzen 9-level processors who require an appropriate level of cooling.
