I've only had mine up for a short time now, installed on a B650 Gigabyte Aorus Elite AX motherboard with a 7800x3D in an NZXT H6 Flow case, but it's been perfect for what I wanted. The AIO itself is probably overkill for a 7800x3D, so if you're strictly looking to cool your fancy shmancy new processor you don't have to spend this much to do it. Go for a Thermalright Phantom Spirit or something inexpensive; this is only really necessary if you want the aesthetic that it provides. Since I live in an old house with no AC, an AIO can be a nice help in the hot summer months and the ease of airflow in and out of the case makes keeping the entire system relatively cool a lot easier, but still... it's a premium price for the look you want more than the functionality. This AIO does include brackets for AM4, AM5, and for Intel LGA1700 installs, and it's deceptively easy to install; the instructions aren't particularly clear, and I've normally just stuck with air cooling in the past so this was a new one for me. Since I installed it on AM5, it was just a matter of removing the plastic CPU brackets on the motherboard and then screwing in the dual-post screws (long side toward motherboard, instructions are unclear on this) with the AIO's included plastic brackets for each facing in the indicated way for AM5. The metal bracket on the CPU cooler twists off easily, and you can then just replace it with the version you need if the pre-installed bracket wasn't what you wanted. Thermal paste is pre-applied to the cooler, and the pipes from the cooler to the radiator are flexible enough to be adjusted to however you need them to be. And that's pretty much it, just screw it on with the provided thumb screws and you're done. Watching an install video can help if you're a first timer or uncomfortable with the process, but it's much easier than it appears at first glance and was much more simple than dealing with some of the annoying backplate support designs that some air coolers have. The NZXT CAM software has been easy to use and has plenty of useful information on it, you can rotate and customize the display of the CPU cooler to show what you want (I use GPU/CPU temp information on mine, looks nice and functionally useful). No complaints about the software at all, sometimes that sort of thing can be futzy to deal with but this was very simple to set up and understand how to use. Overall, it's outstanding. The install was easy, the fans aren't silent but aren't any louder than my case fans, it keeps everything very cool even on a warm day.... couldn't ask for much more. If something like this looks cool to you for the build you're doing and you can afford the price difference over air cooling, I can't imagine anyone being unhappy with this one.

This AIO has no need for a AIO header on the MOBO. It has a SATA power connection, a USB2 header connection, and a pump connector that can be plugged into the CPU fan header if you don't have a pump header. The app works well and is easy to control. The only thing I don't like is the pc thinks the app is ejectable media, so there is always the option to eject it in the tray. I was able to set the trend lines and customize the LCD. My CPU use to run at 215°F at 100% work load, since I installed this 240mm AIO it hasn't gone above 175°F.

I recently picked up the NZXT Kraken 120 for my gaming rig, and I’ve gotta say, it’s been a pretty solid experience overall. First off, the installation was a breeze. I’m no tech wizard, but I managed to get it set up in about 30 minutes. The instructions were clear, and the mounting brackets fit my CPU socket perfectly. One of the best things about this cooler is how quiet it is. I’ve had other coolers that sound like a jet engine when they ramp up, but the Kraken stays nice and silent even under load. It’s great for those late-night gaming sessions when you don’t want to wake the whole house. Now, let’s talk about the RGB lights. They’re vibrant and customizable, which is a nice touch if you’re into that kind of thing. You can sync them with other NZXT products, which is cool if you want a coordinated look. However, I did find the software a bit clunky at times, and it took some trial and error to get everything just right. On the downside, the 120mm radiator might not be enough for super high-performance CPUs if you’re planning on overclocking. It keeps my Ryzen 5 cool enough for casual gaming, but I wouldn’t push it too hard. Overall, I’d give the NZXT Kraken 120 a solid 4 stars. It’s quiet, looks great, and does the job for most users. Just keep in mind the radiator size if you’re looking for something more heavy-duty. Happy cooling!

Using factory thermal paste it runs 42-45 in idle with a 76 degree room. Never goes over 77 under load. If it changes I’ll wipe the paste and use third party. One star off for being expensive. Looks beautiful. Will get noticeable under load but quickly quiets down. CAM software is excellent.
