I ended up with 2x NZXT Kraken X62 any usecases for 2nd one?

Geekie

So, by some mistake, I've ended up with a free NZXT Kraken x62 cooler (I already have one in my build.)

Does any of you have any cool use cases for my second one? I think I've heard of someone using an NZXT cooler to cool their graphics card?

 

I don't have a water cooled GPU right now but would this be worth looking into or will voiding the warranty for this use case be a total waste?

I'll take it :P

Jokes aside, yes, you could use it to cool a graphics card, but you will need to purchase a mounting kit from NZXT first.

 

EDIT: Keep in mind that it will void your GPU warranty (most likely anyways cause you have to remove the air cooler)

As people stated above, if you have enough room to mount a second rad setup then get the adapter from nzxt and cool your gpu.

Would that G12 fit custom PCBs such as the Strix cards? I doubt it but worth asking.

Its universal. So yes.

Ohhhh, in that case a vertical mount will look awesome with the X62, I will look into it for my Strix, thank you bud!
