Review: Great Aesthetics, Good (but not Great) Performance - This Kraken Z73 is perfect for anyone putting together a build that has aesthetics and function in mind, and as for me served as the perfect final touch to my build. First off installation is a bit of a hassle with this due to the extra connections that the little screen requires. For some this may end up being a dealbreaker because of the fact that it may not fit in some smaller form factor builds or even a Mid-tower ATX build with all the RAM slots occupied. Furthermore there's a bit of a known issue involving certain AMD motherboards and the USB connection to those motherboards. I didn't encounter this particular issue with a Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master but your mileage may vary. In case you do have an issue, contact NZXT support and they'll provide a usb hub that works as a workaround until they can roll out Krakens with the permanent fix built in or whatever. One more thing to be aware of is that unlike what the manual says there are only 2 viable installation directions if you are planning on the screen facing right side up. It's true that there is a way to rotate the image through the NZXT CAM software but if it isn't installed in one of the aforementioned orientations then unfortunately it wont be able to rotate it to the correct orientation which seems like an odd limitation but it is what it is. Okay so the performance of this cpu cooler is good, but I was honestly expecting just a bit more cooling efficiency from this latest pump design but it misses the mark by a non-insignificant amount. I previously used a Deepcool Castle EX which is also a 360mm radiator AIO and the difference in not only temperature but also noise is definitely noticeable and is a bit disappointing for a AIO cooler at this price point. But let's be honest if you're buying this or considering buying this then the reason for it is most likely because of the awesome little screen that this thing has, and I can assure you that one shining feature was more than worth it for me but it may not be for someone else, obviously. I was surprised at how crisp and clear the screen is for how small it is, and while you can upload your own gifs, pictures or whatever there is a bit of a learning process in making sure your chosen gif fits the way you want it to without a loss in quality or even unexpected cropping or sizing issues. There's a growing number of useful guides online to guide you in how to do this so it's generally a non issue. Now for the CAM software, I'll admit I've never used it prior to with this Kraken Z73 and I didn't really have a very good opinion of it based of off some very negative things I've either heard from friends or read from users online, but with all that baggage built up going into this I'm relieved to say that my fears were unfounded. The current version of the software has a intuitive user interface with plenty of data and options for those looking to tweak things to their exactly preferences. While the one downside I will mention is that it appears to take much longer than competing software when it comes to fully loading on startup. This isn't too bad of an issue more of a nagging annoyance, but it does take some getting used to as when it finally loads your user profile depending on your fan curve and lighting set up it could range from hardly noticeable, to a gale force disco colored hurricane. I would definitely recommend this for a certain type of pc builder, this is obviously mostly for show and as long as you do go into this with that in mind I find it difficult to believe that you won't be as thrilled as I am having this stunning little screen inside my build firing off different gifs or whatever I decide to have on the screen. It's always the first thing anyone asks me about when they see my computer because of how unique it is and how clear and vivid that little screen actually is. Overall I'm very happy and would definitely order this again if I were to build another PC today.
Review: Kraken Z73- A good all around cooler for your PC - I have to say a great addition to my build and keeps it very cool. My build is a ryzen 3700x, rtx 2070 super and phanteks evolv x, and keeps my cpu very cool at around 60c when under heavy load during a time spy cpu stress test, 99.2% frame rate maintained for 20 runs. The thermals in my room is not the best and I have been running with the pre-applied thermal paste, so take the thermals with some reservation. Although when running with my old air cooler and using good thermal paste, I would get around 85c for the same run on time spy stress. So I went down 25c and can go down more if I reapplied thermal paste. The installation for Z73 was easy enough in my case and had no problems. I did replace the fans with corsair ll 120s because I wanted to have my rgb with my case. I have to say those fans fit perfectly if you want to do the same. Also my case made it easier to put in, since I could take the top panel off for an easy install, just keep in mind how your case will allow you to install. The LCD screen is a nice touch for constant temperature showing when running stress tests and benchmarks to see how it's performing. The best thing about the screen is that you have an added part to your lighting and make it an interesting part of the theme you are doing. I do multiple themes for my setup and it is great for changing up your looks as much as you want (Sunset theme in video). It adds more to your build to have more fun with the theme your going for. The noise level is quite good with this aio. If your looking for a quiet aio, the Z73 is a contender because on quiet mode you can't really hear it and still cools very well, never really went past 65c (don't have the best ambient temperature and never reapplied paste). I usually have headphones (Corsair Virtuoso) on and have it running on performance, where it is louder but with headphones on I can't really hear the pump and fans. If you aren't using headphones, the noise is noticable but if you have your speakers running, it's not too bad. It just depends on how close you are to your pc. I have my on desk but I also have it connected to my tv and I will be a bit of distance away and can't really hear it when gaming off the TV. The only problem I have to say with this cooler is the cam software. The monitoring side of the software loves to act weird after an update for a week and give you some weird readings. It reads my gpu as running at 527 degrees sometimes because it doesn't registers the demcial point because it was running at 52.7c. Also the software doesn't remember your previous setup sometimes after an update and resets your settings for mode your running and the LCD screen. Also if you are running a ryzen system, your temperature will fluctuate a bit because cam and other softwares can't read as accurate as ryzen master, so don't be worried when it jumps around in temperature. Summary Pros- Install, Cooling, Noise, Looks, Performance Cons- Cost (if you are worried about the cost), CAM software, non rgb fans included

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product
*by K***S on July 24, 2025*

Awesome. Beautiful. Lovely. A bit of a learning curve for instillation, defiantly read up on how to do it properly or watch videos if you aren't already pretty familiar with them because one can definitely install it wrong pretty easily which could ruin the product. The screen can be set to anything using a desktop app but the color was slightly off for me, not a big deal but something to think about.
