KRAKEN Z SERIES
Powerful cooling meets ultimate personalization on the all-new Kraken Z Series liquid cooler. Aer P radiator fans work with the improved 7th generation Asetek pump to keep your CPU cool while staying extremely quiet. The 2.36" LCD screen on the pump displays the content you choose, such as animated gifs and CAM system information. Intuitive CAM software makes it easy to fine-tune parameters, change what to display on the LCD screen, and even customize the display orientation* to fit your installation. Kraken Z Series is available in 360mm (Z73) and 280mm (Z63) in radiator size.

Pros: Great cooler - quiet - love the on-pod display.
Cons: If you are thinking of this for an LGA1700, be forewarned you may be waiting a while. I bought one under the assumption that "Contact NZXT for an LGA1700 bracket" would result in me getting a bracket. It took 3 back-and-forth emails (providing proof of motherboard and NZXT Z73 cooler), and I thought they would send me one. Instead, I got this: "Thank you for submitting your request for an LGA 1700 bracket. Unfortunately, we do not currently have the brackets in stock. You have been placed on a waiting list and we will be shipping the brackets in the order the requests were received. Once your bracket is ready to be shipped you will be notified with a tracking link. We appreciate your patience." There's no ETA on it. It could be a week or months at this point. So I'm forced to buy another cooler (likely a Noctua) while I wait. Be forewarned!
Overall Review: Love the product, hate the open ended wait for an LGA1700 bracket, rendering it useless until then.
