NZXT Releases the Kraken G10 Liquid Cooling GPU Bracket

[hardcore_gamer]

Does it cool the memory chips ?

 

[Jack1n]

Pump of the cooling element does not exceed thickness of 2 slots . Bracket on theother hand exceeding the space needed for the triple and a double SLI or CF in some cases ! have not thought about the possibility of changing radiators in case of application for multi-GPU units, The fan is too thick and other elements can therefore close the air intake. Although it looks pretty bad thought out design ! because of its thickness canceled at mini-PC structure where they could reap thegreatest success ! Maybe just maybe would be to use one GPU cooling unit. Eh not for me ! Thick girls have never succeeded in beauty contest .I can say the same for this product !

Well one could easily mod it to fit,but i do agree it would be nicer for it to be compatible from the get go.

nice! Wonder why no one has created an all in one with a tradition gpu water block yet...

Because alot of the industry didnt care enough about Liquid cooling until a few years ago.

I reckon that the bottom fan mount (next to the PSU) would be rather suitable, assuming the tubing is long enough.
Seems like a great solution really, sadly can't find a compatibility list yet.

Compatibility:

Nvidia : GTX 780, 770, 760, Titan, 680, 670, 660Ti, 580, 570, 560Ti, 560, 560SE
AMD : R9 290X, 270X HD7870, 7850, 6970, 6950, 6870, 6850, 6790, 6770, 5870, 5850, 5830
The compatibility list is based on AMD Radeon and NVIDIA's reference board layout only. Please check the height restriction drawing before purchase

Nice but finding a place to put the rad could be an issue in many cases

I see what you did there.....nice.

And to this day, there's not a single 240mm enclosed rad that cools both the cpu and gpu. What a shame. There would be less clutter that way.

There has been one that I know of. It's called the Asetek 760GC. Don't know what happened to it, but it isn't sold at any of the mainstream etailers.

 

[xD3aDPooLx]

It had a ton of problems from what i've heard.

 

[Doc41]

Looks promesing, but would've been better if it had a lower profile,
(If you look closely the card used is a Gigabyte GV-N780D5-3GD-B) i think

 

[05akari23]

Don't suppose I could get an idea of compatibility with an Asus directcuii 7970?

Why would you want to swap out the DCII?

Memory doesn't get that hot, I use to bench at 7,5 Ghz DDR5 and it's barely warm to the touch.

 

[Phobia9651]

Guys, we didnt get to test every card out there, but it does support the 7970 and R9 280x cards...

Thanks for the heads up, but how come your list is longer than the one on the store website?

One small question: I know that at least in the 7970 case, the GPU is recessed and would need a special shim in order to fit the coolers and touch the surface of the GPU properly. Seen the box contents and this is not included ?!?

 

[radrok]

You could get one of these

[CoolZone]

I know of that variant but shouldn't the manufacturer include these in the package considering that the stock 7970 is listed in the compatibility list? Ordering online for another component is not an optimal choice.

 

[radrok]

Probably because the manufacturer in question doesn't know the 7970 requires a shim.

Yes I think it should be included if compatibility for GPUs that need it is claimed.

 

[CoolZone]

Indeed, I guess we will wait for an official reply from the manufacturer representative.

i think these single 120mm aio water coolers are a sham.
soon the water will heat up eventually and then it would be impossible to cool.
i am even more skeptical since this is supposed to be economical as well.

 

[Deleted member 24505]

@rep, possible to buy this in the UK?

 

[Hayder_Master]

great cooler at $30 , just one thing why 3 slots, i want WC for sli-crossfire cards not a single one

 

[radrok]

I'm pretty sure you need to buy the Kraken separately, so it's not just 30$.

 

[Steevo]

Remove grill from PSU fan, install longer bolts to mount radiator in a pull config. Stands to reason if the GPU fires up and starts pulling watts the fan will start spinning faster.

I've seen a buncn of single rad AIOs get mounted onto anyhting from the 7850 to 7970 and none of the people who did complained about temps also the ARES II(dual 7970s) only used one rad and TPU's review shows that it was perfectly OK.
