Description

Description

With dual 120mm fans and RGB lighting.

Bigger and Brighter

The large size offers more vibrant color. The rotating cover allows placement in any position that is best for the computer while keeping the logo in the correct position.

Better control

NZXT's CAM software provides you with an easy-to-use interface so you can synchronize the lighting on all the company's products and customize the cooler's operation to your preferences.

Fantastic performance

The Aer P fans are designed for use in water cooling systems. They feature a hydraulic bearing for silent operation, durability, and strong cooling performance.

Tube Length

The Tubing Length (mm) indicates how long the tubes connecting the pump to the radiator of the liquid cooling system are, and it directly affects the ease of installation inside the case. A longer length offers more flexibility in radiator placement (e.g., in large cases or in different positions such as the top or front), while a shorter length results in a more “compact” setup but with limited placement options.

The fan speed determines how fast it spins, affecting airflow and noise level.

  • Low (500-1000 RPM): Quiet operation, ideal for low-noise builds, but with less airflow.
  • Medium (1000-1800 RPM): Balanced performance between cooling and noise.
  • High (1800+ RPM): Maximum airflow, suitable for demanding conditions or overclocking, with increased noise.
Fan Noise Level (Full Load)
36 dB

Fan Noise Level (Full Load)

The Fan Noise Level (Full Load) indicates how much noise the liquid cooler’s fans produce when operating at maximum speed, that is, under full load. It is measured in dB(A), and the lower the value, the quieter the operation. This is an important feature for those who want a quiet system, especially in demanding uses such as gaming or rendering where the fans run at maximum.
Air Flow
73.11 cfm

Air Flow

Airflow (CFM) indicates the volume of air that the fan moves per minute (Cubic Feet per Minute) and directly affects the cooling performance of the radiator. The higher the value, the more air passes through the radiator, contributing to better heat dissipation, although it is usually accompanied by increased noise.
Air Pressure
-

Air Pressure

Air Pressure (mmAq) indicates the force with which the fan pushes air through obstacles such as the radiator and is measured in mm of water column. The higher the value, the better the fan can penetrate the dense fins of the radiator, making it more efficient for water cooling compared to regular case fans.

    I bought this cooler along with 2 Aer 120mm RGB Fans from NZXT. I have the Ryzen 5 2600x and I have to say that the temperature difference is significant. While the stock cooler allowed the processor to reach over 90 degrees, the AIO keeps it below 65 degrees, even during heavy gaming sessions. The lowest temperature I have observed is 27 degrees on idle. I should note that I have the H510 case (the old one, not the flow).

    Tl;dr - It is an amazing AIO for the price I bought it (110€), and I highly recommend it.

    Very easy to install, even someone who has never done it before, I believe they can do it as the instructions have enough details even on where exactly the cables will be connected. Very good cooling, maybe not the best on the market but it compensates with its design and appearance. I don't think anyone would have an issue with the temperature dropping by 1 degree, so in combination with the installation, it is a very good option!

    I installed it on an MSI R9 390 8GB graphics card that has temperature issues, and the result is extremely satisfying and exceeds my expectations.

    The installation was done with the help of NZXT Kraken G12.

    The temperatures it was reaching with the stock cooling were:
    idle 50°C | Full load 80°C - 89°C

    With the Kraken X53, the temperatures are:
    idle 25°C | Full load 36°C - 37°C

    I had never installed a liquid cooler in my system before, so I am not the most objective judge when it comes to other brands. However, as a new user, I am incredibly satisfied with both the easy installation and the good performance. It was installed on a Ryzen 5 2600x 4.2Ghz permanently with 1.425 Volt (mainly for aesthetic reasons, as I didn't have high temperatures but wanted it to look nice and gain some points obviously) and after 5 consecutive cinebench r20 runs, it reached 69°C. I think that's an excellent temperature. As for the sound, it is quite satisfactory, at least compared to the stock cooler, the PC is much quieter. Additionally, there is an option in the NZXT CAM to run it in silent profile, which if the processor is not a monster with 250-300w TDP, it won't need to increase the fan speed to sound like an airplane

    It keeps the processor's temperature (Intel Core i7-9700K) at very low levels, even under heavy load. It simply makes a sound when it speeds up...

    It was purchased 2 weeks ago and I can say that, no matter what I do, it is very noisy. Although it maintains good temperatures (60-65 in moderate games like PUBG, CSGO - 66-73 in heavy games like CoD Cold War with Ryzen 9 5900x), the noise is unbelievable. Perhaps it will change at some point.

    Very easy to install, even someone who has never done it before, I believe they can do it as the instructions have enough details even on where exactly the cables will be connected. Very good cooling, maybe not the best on the market but it compensates with its design and appearance. I don't think anyone would have an issue with the temperature dropping by 1 degree, so in combination with the installation, it is a very good option!

    I installed it on an MSI R9 390 8GB graphics card that has temperature issues, and the result is extremely satisfying and exceeds my expectations.

    The installation was done with the help of NZXT Kraken G12.

    The temperatures it was reaching with the stock cooling were:
    idle 50°C | Full load 80°C - 89°C

    With the Kraken X53, the temperatures are:
    idle 25°C | Full load 36°C - 37°C
