Display GPU and CPU usage on your AIO cooler, because why not?

In this review, we’ll be putting the Kraken Z53 to the test and see what kind of cooling performance can we expect from this cooler and of course, how does it fare against other CPU coolers we have here in the test la . Specifications Price-wise, the NZXT Kraken Z53 is retailed at RM 969 and is probably one of the most expensive AIO liquid coolers with a 240mm radiator we’ve ever tested so far. There’s no denying that the Kraken Z53 is an excellent cooler but I still find it rather difficult to recommend it to mainstream users because of its price. Therefore, this is the kind of cooler I’d only recommend if you’re totally into the NZXT ecosystem or have an extra budget to spend on a premium AIO liquid cooler.

The NZXT CAM software is a collection of useful functions for system monitoring and customizing features for NZXT products that comes with a very simple user interface and very easy to use. It can be used to customize the Kraken Z53 and toggle the performance mode, but you’ll have to make sure that the USB cable is connected to the pump unit and the onboard USB 2.0 header on your motherboard so that it can be detected in the software.

Test System Setup

This All-in-One (AIO) liquid cooler is designed with the ability to fit comfortably in most cases. Show CPU/GPU temperatures or customize with GIFs with the Kraken Z LCD display. I've previously tested the Kraken Z63 and Z73, finding both to be simply brilliant at not only keeping your CPU cool, but also acting as a gateway to colorful lighting and other cool effects. NZXT has refreshed the entire Z series, but today we'll be looking at the new Z53, which is the smaller sibling to the two AIOs, coming in with a 240mm radiator, making this perfectly suited to compact PC builds.
