Cooling (Warmth): This cooler works great at cooling. My temps have never been lower on a cpu. Truly impressive how far cooking has come this last decade.
Noise: Right out of the box this cooler is very quite. But after a few hours of use when the water becomes a little heat soaked the pump will ramp up and sound like you have a very loud fish tank on your desk.
Easy fix: if you download the NZXT cam app you can set both fab and PUMP curves. I recommend a constant pump speed of just under 50% personally this is the fastest it can be that I do not hear the pump (even 1% faster annoys me BAD) changing to this constant speed from the performance preset on my OC’ed 3800x (all core 4.3Ghz) I increased my max temp after 20 minutes of cinebench by 1 degree so now my max temp is 76 instead of 75. (I also use a very low fan curve because I hate fan noise)
I would recommend this for anyone! I would also recommend you set a custom fan and pump curve.
It still kept my processer fairly cool, but once the fans were replaced it's worked better than when it was new.
Pros: Good temps, easy install (I installed it with tubes from the bottom), near silent.
Cons: No mac software (but I knew that). Bit pricy.

Top reviews from other countries
Not only do I do a ton of gaming, but I use Blender and Unreal Engine which can make your CPU run very hot. With NZXT Kraken X53 240mm things have been ice cold no matter what I throw at it.
The first thing that impressed me was the sleek and stylish design of the Kraken X53. The pump unit features a glossy black finish with subtle RGB lighting that adds a touch of elegance to my PC. The 240mm radiator fits perfectly in my case and provides ample cooling capacity, ensuring that my CPU stays cool even during the most demanding tasks as I mentioned earlier.
Installation was a breeze thanks to NZXT's user-friendly design. The all-in-one design means that the cooler comes pre-filled and requires no maintenance or complicated setup. The included mounting hardware and clear instructions made the installation process quick and hassle-free. Within minutes, I had the Kraken X53 up and running.
But what truly sets this cooler apart is its exceptional cooling performance. The 240mm radiator, coupled with the two high-performance Aer P120 fans, efficiently dissipates heat from the CPU. I've noticed a significant drop in temperatures compared to my previous air cooler, even under heavy workloads and intense gaming sessions. This has allowed me to push my CPU to its limits while maintaining optimal performance and stability. I even hit my CPU with a cheeky overclock now that I can keep it cool.
The noise levels aren't too bad, if you don't use headphones you'll for sure hear the fans going.
One standout feature of the Kraken X53 is the powerful software control. Using NZXT's CAM software, I have full control over the cooler's performance, fan speeds, and lighting effects. The intuitive interface makes it easy to monitor temperatures, adjust settings, and create custom profiles for different scenarios. It's a versatile tool that empowers me to fine-tune the cooler's performance to suit my needs.
Durability is also worth mentioning. The Kraken X53 is built with high-quality materials, ensuring long-lasting performance. The reinforced nylon-braided tubing adds a premium touch and enhances durability, while the copper cold plate ensures efficient heat transfer from the CPU.
In conclusion, the NZXT Kraken X53 240mm is a top-tier liquid cooler that delivers on all fronts. With its sleek design, easy installation, exceptional cooling performance, and customizable software control, it's a must-have for anyone looking to maximize their CPU's potential. Whether you're a hardcore gamer, a content creator, or a PC enthusiast, this cooler will keep your CPU running cool and unleash its full power. I highly recommend the Kraken X53 for anyone seeking superior cooling and a touch of style for their PC build.
