amazon NZXT KRAKEN X53 reviews

Product Overview

NZXT is a famous computer hardware manufacturer from the US. The name of this brand is associated with high-quality product lines such as case covers, heatsinks, fans, and computer power supplies.

Following the success of the previously released in-one Kraken X52 heatsink, the company continues to launch a new version of the Kraken series with changes that bring more perfection: NZXT Kraken X53.

External overview when viewed from the box: compared to the old version, the new product line does not have many breakthrough changes or big differences in design. Based on the philosophy: what is perfect should be kept and handed down. The new model still gives users the same sophistication as the previous version: it is still a pump with an integrated RGB LED ring and NZXT logo in the middle, a 240mm radiator, and two 120mm Aer fans included, promising optimal performance and elegant beauty.

Pack

Right on the front of the box, there is a clear image and name of the product, similar to the X52, the NZXT Kraken X53 is packed in a square box with a neat overall size.

Details inside the product

The surface of the water pump with the top glass has a clear plastic coating on it for protection during transportation, below the glass is the NZXT logo in the middle. The most special feature is that the lid includes border lights and the NZXT logo can be rotated 360 degrees unlimitedly so that users can completely customize the logo rotation or move the in-out position of the pump.

Around the pump, there are wires connecting the power plug and the USB port. In the previous generation, the connection port was arranged in a horizontal row, so when installed on the machine, the connection wire attached to the pump was quite messy and unsightly. On the NZXT Kraken X53, the connection wire has been shortened, convenient for the wiring process.

The contact surface of the Kraken X53 with the CPU is made of CNC copper for a high-quality finish. As usual, the thermal paste is pre-applied. This has advantages: it is convenient to assemble, but it is also a disadvantage when compared to removable glue that you can only use once.

The side consists of two water pipes braided with a black parachute cord to increase the strength of the cable and protect the inner tube.

Aluminum Radiator with embossed NZXT Logo on the side, only 30mm thick, suitable for most 240mm radiator support cases on the market. The radiator surface area fits two 120mm fans, for high cooling efficiency.

Accessories included

All included accessories are in a bubble bag. By default, the intel CPU’s grip is pre-installed. If using AMD CPUs, you just need to turn the gong out and replace the gong specifically for the AMD socket.

The included screw is just enough for users to install 4 fans and radiators into the case. The pump mounting screw can be easily removed by hand.

The USB cord plugs directly into the pump, all customized with CAM software. The signal wire and power supply for the pump include 1 power supply SATA port and a 3pin pump speed signal pin. A novelty here is the appearance of an RGB pin – allowing users to directly connect NZXT LED strips or RGB fans through this connection. True to the name All in one, the NZXT Kraken X53, in addition to being a CPU cooler, now also can customize lighting for your system.

The fan comes with the same old generation, the NZXT Kraken X53 uses the Aer P120 fan that specializes in blowing Radiator. Another unfortunate point is that this fan model is not integrated with RGB Led lights.

Summary

In summary, the new-in-one heatsink product line from the NZXT brand is almost unchanged overall. With the design that goes into the standard of sophistication in the All in one Kraken radiator line, it is not necessary to completely edit the appearance for the next generation of products. The company’s changes are largely aimed at consumers, towards convenience, and this has made the NZXT Kraken X53 a more complete, worthwhile product.
