NZXT in a statement today confirmed that its Kraken X61, Kraken X52, and Kraken X62 all-in-one closed-loop liquid CPU coolers support AMD Ryzen Threadripper processors in the TR4 package. The company announced that compatible retention brackets for socket TR4, which work on most Asetek-sourced liquid CPU coolers, will be included in the PIB (processor in a box) package of Ryzen Threadripper processors, by AMD. The company reckons that its Kraken X61, Kraken X52, and Kraken X62 coolers provide sufficient cooling to tame the HEDT beasts by AMD.

Excellent news.

It would be even better if the damn things would save your pump settings. I find on my Ryzen system that the default (cold boot) "silent" pump profile is not enough to keep the temps in check.

Meaning every cold boot you have to launch the terrible (even in the improved recent update) CAM software to set a better profile/fix it at 90%+ speed.

Leaving CAM running in the background (e.g. by auto-starting it to the try) seems to cause issues too and it takes agest to load and set too ...

Not sure why there's not at least a bit of flash in there to save one of the 2 stock profiles and fixed even if you can't save a custom profile.

A major flaw in a potentially good product IMO - or did I miss somewhere to save the setting?

Thats pretty vague. Where are the silent profile settings? Is the pump settings in CAM software that has issue on a cold boot?

Also, there is a lot of software that windows doenst like to start with windows regardless if there is a registry setting or using the task scheduler to start it. I have software that boots with windows, normally, every other boot sequence, Its stupid.

I have X52, Ryzen 1700, 4Ghz.
I run custom profile to lower speeds even further cause I ain't having issues with temps at all, you sure you need the speed?
I have a target of 65C full load temp and idle is at 35-40C, surely it can lower the temps but i hate the noise. :)
also, do you take pwm power from the motherboard?

disable pwm control by motherboard may help your milage as I had minor issues with it :)

TTo follow up to both posts: I didn'tthink I was vague, there is a setting for a profile of some sort built into the pump unit, whatever it is, it defaults to a slow pump speed and "quiter" fans.

If you then set something in the CAM software, that is held (well the fixed pump speed anyway) until the power is totally removed, so it's retained in standby but not if the PSU is disconnected. I trust that clarifies - i.e. there is nothing that saves settings in the unit itself (that I can see).

I have the X62 and the pump seems to be powered direct from the PSU not by PWM, there is only a sense wire for pump speed and it's controlled internally/via USB. It sounds like the X52 is better in this respect, or maybe I missed something.

I think you need a better computer if their CAM software takes forever to load or you need a new drive. My friend doesn't have any issues with the CAM software.

It's only CAM that is slow and it's loading from a Samsung 960 Evo that benches at full speed ...

There are numerous reports on the web about issues with CAM.

Not sure what you mean by better, it's an X370 with Ryzen 1800X and top end Team RAM ...
