Question 1

Is this factory sealed o right do you have to supply your own coolant?

Accepted Answer

All in ones are always sealed with the liquid inside, hence the name "all in one". All you have to do is install the radiator wherever it fits in your pc and put the block onto the CPU, also includes thermal paste on the block already but you can buy more just to be sure.

Question 2

If you are wanting to use aftermarket fans, do you need 140mm or 280mm fans? Is 280 mm the size of the radiator with both fans combined?

Accepted Answer

The fans are two 140mm high flow fans. If you want to add RGB fans and have the space you might want to do a push-pull configuration and use the originals facing out and RGB facing in.

Question 3

Does this come with the new AM4  socket?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it Ian included. I installed on my AM4 Gigabyte AX370 K3 motherboard and 1700x with no issues.

Question 4

Does this have an RGB header or does this support aura sync?

Accepted Answer

I can't seem to get it to work with aura, but you can adjust the lights to individual colors or keep it rainbow

Question 5

I'm planning on using this with an ASUS Maximus IX Code MB and 4 sticks of Corsair RGB RAM. It looks like it might be a tight fit, anyone with this or a similar setup know is the ram will fit ok next to the cooler?

Accepted Answer

I recently built a system around Asus' STRIX Z270G mATX motherboard that looks similarly laid out using the X62 and the fit is OK - there's about a 1/4" between the hoses (I have them at "3 o"clock" between the CPU and the memory) and the G.Skill Trident Z RGB memory I used.
Hope that helps - good luck.

Question 6

Is the Kraken X62 compatible with the Intel LGA 2066 socket motherboards?

Accepted Answer

Not as of now, most likely NZXT will offer the corresponding bracket either for free or for purchase. Another probability could be that the Intel bracket and backplate that already comes with it might be compatible with that socket

Question 7

does this come with thermal paste pre-installed?

Accepted Answer

Mine came with TIM installed, but I used Arctic Silver 5 instead. i7-10700K & ASUS ROG Strix Z490-E ran 4 hours of AIDA64 Extreme @ 5.3GHz. Highest Core Temp was 78C.

Question 8

Is this compatible with an Intel i7 8700k installed on a ASUS ROG Strix Z390-E Gaming LGA 1151 (300 Series) Intel Z390 motherboard?

Accepted Answer

It is compatible with all intel i3-i7 and ryzen processors not including thread-ripper or i9.  It comes with mounting and back plates for both.   There are newer coolers on the market.

Question 9

What is the hose length?

Accepted Answer

Hard to measure when inside the case, but I'd estimate around ~400 mm (40 cm).  The tubes  are long enough to stretch from the CPU of an ATX board to the top radiator harness of a Phanteks Enthoo case (very large), as well as able to reach the front radiator mount (I would suggest mounting inside the top radiator mount though for best thermals).

IMPORTANT!!!! :
 when mounting, DO NOT FOLLOW NZXT's instructions.   Leave the front case fans blowing in, and the back fan blowing out, but do not mount the fans pulling through the radiator into the case from the top.  It's against the laws of physics for the airflow to go downwards into the case from the top.  Push through the radiator by mounting the fans below the radiator and exhausting upwards.

Question 10

Is the amount of heatsink grease that comes standard on the unit sufficient? or is it suggested/recommended/advised to use more?  If the decision to use more is made, do you suggest wiping off the standard later, cleaning the plate and affixing with Arctic Silver? or just supplement what is there?

Accepted Answer

Really up to you, but I would suggest/recommend cleaning the plate and affixing your own paste.
