Does the nzxt kraken x52 fit the ncase m1. I have already bought the m1 so i need something to cool my 7600k.

So i was thinking of overclocking my 8350. mobo is pretty basic so I probably won't. BUT when was looking at CAM i realized my CPU is apparently cooler than my coolers liquid. Not like a degree or two but TEN, almost consistently. I'm no engineer but I think there is something wrong here. Am I overthinking this or is something giving me the wrong reading.

I was thinking on getting a kraken x52 for my 7700k but before I would like to know what I should keep in mind if I want to install it myself. The only thing I know is that it may not fit, but I did some research and it should be fine in my s340 elite, anything else other than that?

I'm sort of new to the water cooling scene, from air on my last system to AIO on my new one. I've never really paid attention to temperatures before cause I was a noob, but now....well I want to understand and push my new system. What is considered normal temperatures when water cooling with the following equipment? Ryzen 1600X (Stock speeds. Not overclocked (yet)) Kraken X52 AIO (The general temperature in my room is about 24-26°C) First off, Ryzen has the most unmeasurable temperatures ever. I feel like through any application, including the AMD Master program, my temps fluctuate anywhere from 37°C-53°C when idle when fans are at full power. Is that normal? They are rarely consistent for me (looks like I'm not crazy here). Anyway, when gaming my temps are at 53°C-59°C. For the first time today as I was rapidly moving from benchmark to benchmark, I hit above 64°C, when of course CAM notified me, saying I'd shorten my processor's life if I kept it up. Thought that was weird since I wasn't even overclocked. So far, is the above considered normal with all fans at "full" and at the base 3.6 Ghz? Is 64°C while benchmarking without an overclock good for water cooling? (I have seen people hit these temps on the stock air cooler.) I'd like to overclock here soon, cause I know water cooling gives me the capability to. Could I overclock and still be "safe" on temps? What is actually considered "safe"? Finally, is this whole thing fishy, am I paranoid and all this is normal, or am I an idiot? **It is worth noting that I am going to go back into my case at some point and clean up my cables. BUT the main reason I'm going back in is to figure out the mess that is the Kraken Fans, cause they have this really odd splitter that I've never seen and there weren't any instructions on how to install them. They are spinning and displacing heat, so I did something right, but even at supposedly "full" blast, the fan speed is only ever at 35% and no higher (The other case fans do push 100% speed when called). SO I KNOW I DID SOMETHING WRONG, but still. What are some normal temps, and what can I look out for? And ASUS bloatware kind of took over the fan system and wants to program it itself.

I have a Kraken X52 and I have attached two Thermaltake Riing Plus RGB fans to it. However now that's it's all installed in my case I have noticed that the cable that is supposed to connect the pump to the fans are incompatible (they have a different number of pins) and am not sure what to do. Can I just plug the fans into the controller box that Thermaltake includes with the fans? Or do I need to remove these fans and install the NZXT ones? I would prefer to use the RGB fans that I purchased because I plan on using the lighting options available. So if I can manage the fans through the Thermaltake software and have them just work separately from the pump, that would be cool. This is my first build and I'm stuck so any help would be appreciated

I have a kraken x52 air that I'm going to install on the front. but I am wondering which way my top and rear fans should point?

What is the difference between the X52 and X52 Rev 2 because the stats that are listed are exact the same

Hello, Today was supposed to be awesome, as I would have finished my new pc, but I ran into a problem. My Kraken x52 makes a strange noise and the pump doesn't seem to work (no vibrations from the block), see attachment for a video. Also the temps in the bios go up fast, so something is obviously not working. I connected the SATA, USB 2 and fan header. Other people found that sometimes a fan header doesn't work with the pump, but when trying different ones the problem still occurs. Did I do something wrong or is it dead on arrival? 20181128_153535 (1).mp4

This is my first build, I am using an NZXT Kraken x52 for my water cooler on my Intel i7-8700k. I connected all the cables, and had the cable plugged into the CPU FAN connector on the motherboard as instructed in the NZXT Kraken installation manual. Upon starting the computer I received on the startup screen a "CPU FAN ERROR" It didn't hinder me from using the computer but it said it on the screen that appeared upon startup towards the bottom. I double checked the manual and everything plugged in in accordance to where it needed to be. The Cooler seems to be working okay, the RGB logo works, all the fans spin, and if Im not mistaken I heard the sound of water begin to circulate as I first booted up the machine. I just wanted to insure that if I continued use of this PC it would not overheat or something. If I missed any required details please don't hesitate to let me know. Thank you.

Hi everyone, I'm slowly but surely completing parts for my first build but I have some questions regarding connecting fans. My mobo has 3 headers labelled: CPU, W_PUMP, SYS. My case is nzxt h200 (no smart device) with 2 stock fans, my questions: 1. Where do I connect AIO fans ? Where do I connect case fans? Does it even matter which fan header I'll plug them to? (I have some Y splitters) 2. I'm planning to get hue+ with 1 aer rgb fan and rgb strips some time in the future. Can I chain rgb aer fan with stock one and connect them to hue+ ? Can you connect non aer rgb fans to hue+ ?

A quick question since I cant find a satisfying anwser online: Does the NZXT Kraken x52 (or x62) fit in the top of the Silent Base 800?

I think that my kraken x52 may be broken. it keeps my 7700k at around 88-93 degrees celcius while running prime 95 with maximum heat. My 7700k isnt overclocked or overvoltaged. It runns at stock. I usa a nzxt h700i, and the kraken x52 is top mounted with corsair sp120 quiet fans. And also, none of the fans is connected to the smart hub.. Dont know if it helps, but i usa a msi z270 gaming pro carbon motherboard, corsair vengeance led ram, msi gtx 1070 gaming x gpu, and a corsair rm650x psu. I have tried tightening the mounting screws on the kraken x52, and it didnt help. Also tried unplugging the pump power, and i actually got 1-3 degrees celsius better temps (what the heck???). I use the thermal paste theat comes preapplied to the cooler. And when i unplugged the pump, the rpm still got registerd by cam. The wierd thing was that i could change the pump speed when it was unplugged. It didnt help with the temps though. My 7700k idles (20% load and under) at 49-55 degrees celcius. This is the second aio i have used with this system, the previous one was a deepcool captain 240ex. Back then my temps was around 65 degrees under gaming/load until the pump didnt work anymore. Themn the temps was around 85 degrees under load. So i thik that my pump, or some other part of the aio is broken. What do you think? I need help asap

Noticed games get my CPU running pretty hot lately (up to 89C). I've been using Asus z370-e mobo which has the "one-click 5ghz OC". I expected since it only changes multipliers without changing voltage a larger AIO (kraken x52) I should be safe to run at these temps. I removed the OC and just left multicore enhancement (up to 4.3Ghz) on to see if maybe I'm just pushing my cpu too hard. After running a stress test I got right back up to 88C. I was wondering if anyone else has a similar setup and what temps they typically get. CPU install is only a few months old but maybe I will try redoing the thermal paste. I'm not brave enough to do any delidding so please don't suggest that.

So I'm planning to build a new PC here in the near future and I'm now in the process of choosing my components but I'm not sure if it will fit in my case I have used pcpartpicker.com and there it said it would fit okay, but I have also heard something about you couldn't really trust their compatibility checker when we are talking dimensions so I'm looking to get some help with telling me if it's gonna work out fine or not. Chosen parts: Asus ROG Strix 1080 Ti Asus ROG strix z370 E GAMING Intel i7 8700K NZXT Kraken x62 or x52 G.skill RGB trident z 16 GB 2 x 8 Fractal Design meshify C dark Tg Corsair Tx650m Samsung 970 Evo m.2 Toshiba p300 I really hope it will in.

Hello everyone, A couple of days ago, I installed a Kraken x52 + Kraken g12 into my Rog Strix GTX 1080 A8G. Before this, my temps weren't that bad, under full load, about 70-71°C (158°F) but the fans were almost at 90% and man, that was pretty loud, so that's why I decided to install the AIO. Once installed, the temps went down to 51-54°C (124°F) and barely can hear the fans on my PC. The problem here is that I started to notice that the GPU could not be Overclocked anymore, prior installing the AIO, I was able to get into the 2100's Mhz on the Core Clock and now I can barely hit the 1900's Mhz. Also happened with my OC in the CPU, which is a Ryzen 5 1600, prior installing the AIO, I was able to get to 3.85 Ghz and now I'm only able to get up to 3.5 Ghz. The temps on both are really low, like I mentioned before, under load, the GPU stays in the 51-54°C and the CPU stays in the 54-56°C. NOTE: As my CPU cooler, I haver another AIO, which is the CoolerMaster Master Liquid Lite 120 I'm not sure if it has to do on how I connect the Kraken x52 cables, but here's how I did it. Pump into Fan header and set to MAX RPM Kraken G12 fan into Kraken x52 fan cable + 2 fans from the Rad Micro USB from Kraken x52 into USB 2.0 port in the motherboard On top of that, my PC randomly crashes, even with the lightest OC and just by being idle. I already set everything to default and ran Prime95 for CPU stress and Heaven benchmark for GPU stress and it seems that the crashes stopped, but I can't figure out why I'm no longer able to OC. Here are my specs before and after the installation of the second AIO. Before OS: Windows 10 Pro 64 bits Version 10.0.16299 Build 16299 Case: Phantek Eclipse P400S Tempered glass 2 top fans (the ones that came with the case) 2 front fans: InWin Polaris RGB 1 back fan: Rad + fan of the MasterLiquid Lite 120 Motherboard: Rog Strix B350-F Gaming - Latest BIOS from Asus support page (v.3401) CPU: Ryzen 5 1600 CPU AIO Cooler: Master Liquid Lite 120 RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB 2x 8GB 3000 MHz GPU: Rog Strix GTX 1080 A8G - stock fans PSU: EVGA SuperNova 750W P2 SSD: Samsung 850 EVO - 250GB HDD: Western Digital 1TB Other: Led strip that came with Phantek case After Case: Phantek Eclipse P400S Tempered glass 2 top fans (the ones that came with the case) 4 front fans: InWin Polaris RGB + Kraken x52 fans (I got a push/pull config, the SP fans are pushing and the InWin Polaris pulling, I left those just for the aesthetics) 1 back fan: Rad + fan of the MasterLiquid Lite 120 GPU AIO Cooler: Kraken x52 + Kraken g12 Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I’m currently in the market for an AIO cooler and the kraken AIO looks very good(aesthetic wise). Just want to know some of your experiences with this AIO cooler. Thanks!

Since I built my pc I have this problem when I start it an error screen comes up and says CPU Fans not working and press f1 for setup so then I get directed to bios and boot it that way and it works and is running on about 42-47 degrees celcius on idle but then when I play games it can go up to 80 and I noticed the fans are running the same speed at 9% load as 80% load.
