Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Provides a substantial 40% increase in GPU cooling capacity compared to stock cooling solutions, boosting performance.
- Enables users to maximize GPU clock speeds, leading to higher performance and improved frame rates in demanding applications.
- Offers comprehensive compatibility, supporting both reference and non-reference design AMD and NVIDIA GPUs.
- Compatible with more than 30 liquid coolers, including specific Kraken X42/X52/X62/72 models, for flexible liquid cooling integration.
- Features a 92mm fan that actively cools the VRM and memory on the graphics card, ensuring stability of critical components.
👎 Cons
- Requires a separate purchase of a compatible liquid cooler (AIO) for its operation, as it is a mounting kit only.
- The increase in cooling capacity is comparative to stock cooling and actual performance gains will vary depending on the specific GPU and AIO used.
- Installation involves disassembling the existing GPU cooler, which might be challenging for users unfamiliar with hardware modifications.
- While supporting many liquid coolers, it is specifically stated to support Kraken X-series models, limiting choice within the NZXT ecosystem.
- The 92mm VRM fan, while beneficial, might contribute additional noise to the system compared to passive VRM cooling solutions.
