NZXT Refreshes Kraken Family of AIO CPU Coolers

btarunr · Sep 23, 2021

NZXT announces the latest Kraken X, Kraken Z, and AER RGB 2 fans—n a sleek matte white. NZXT is taking the challenge out of achieving an all-white build. This family of white cooling products came directly from community feedback, allowing users to express themselves by giving them more options for the ideal build. The Kraken 120 has received some upgrades from previous models. It features an improved pump with a larger water reservoir, a refreshed look, and support for 5 V ARGB ecosystems.

What's new?

A minimalist white color option
RGB options for the matte black Kraken Z series

The same great features:

Seamless management by CAM, our performance monitoring application
Winglet-tip fan blades for fast and quiet operation
Fluid dynamic bearings provide long-term reliability and powerful cooling performance, rated for 60k hours.

Damn, these fans are far from pressure optimized.
Good for case airflow, as the design dictates, but I would replace them immediately on this AIO.
