Description

The NZXT Kraken X42 is a water cooler that fits every processor socket from Intel or AMD. Even on AMD's AMD socket. Control both the 140 mm fan and the water pump at 4 speeds or maximum cooling or reduced noise production. With the CAM software you set the LED lights of the water cooler to any desired color. Thanks to the copper cooling block, you immediately divert the heat away from the processor. This way you extend the lifespan of your processor. NZXT believes in the operation of its water coolers and offers a 6-year guarantee.

  • Perfect cooling

I have placed the Kraken X42 on my video card. The standard cooling made so much noise that it seemed like an airplane was taking off every time. The water cooling ensures that the video card remains at a decent temperature and also produces very little noise. With the 'cam' software you can easily adjust the RGB lighting (which is beautiful and subtle). You can also manually set the speed with this software. The only downside is that the RGB is not very visible due to the placement down on the GPU. So there must be 1 more for the CPU :)
