NZXT Kraken Z53 240 mm Liquid Processor Cooler - Black

The NZXT Kraken Z53 240mm AIO is a closed-loop liquid cooler for desktop PCs. It transfers heat from the CPU via a copper base plate into an aluminium radiator. The pump head features an integrated LCD screen that allows users to display real-time system data or custom graphics directly on the water block. Two included fans handle cooling by pushing air through the radiator fins. These fans use a 4-pin PWM connection to adjust their speed based on CPU temperature, ranging from 500 to 2,000 RPM depending on the thermal load.

Installation requires an internal USB 2.0 motherboard header to manage the screen functionality via the provided breakout and micro-B cables. The system uses 400 mm rubber tubing to connect the pump to the radiator. It is compatible with modern platforms, including Intel LGA 1700, 1851, and AMD AM5. The unit features a black finish and a 52.4 mm height profile. Mounting hardware and processor brackets are included. The fans support speed detection for accurate tachometer reporting to the motherboard.

• Provides up to 73.11 cfm of airflow to move heat away from the cooling loop.
• Achieves a maximum air pressure of 2.93 mmH2O for pushing air through dense radiator fins.
• Operates at an acoustic level between 21 dB at low speeds and 36 dB under sustained high-speed workloads.
• Uses fluid dynamic bearings in both 120 mm fans for consistent and reliable mechanical operation.
• Main radiator dimensions: 275 mm in width, 123 mm in height, and 30 mm in depth.
