Kraken x62 vs H115i

[Yifti]

Hello!

I want an AIO cooler, and I can't decide which one(NZXT kraken x62 vs Corsair H115i pro rgb).

Can someone help me? Personal experiences could be nice too.

Thanks!

Neither. Get the H115i Pro or h150i Pro. 


I've used both coolers and the h150i Pro (h115i pro if you want a 280) is the best cooler I've used.

He's talking about the X62 or H115i Pro (or PRO RGB if you prefer, it's same product)...

 

OP, I'd end up getting the Corsair unit. Arguably a better pump (especially dat impeller), and the fans are almost certainly going to be a considerable amount quieter. Added bonus is that CAM is fucking atrocious and LINK has matured a lot.

Hmmmm.... Weird.... Most people say the kraken is MUCH quieter...

Oh mb, I didn't read past the title.

Corsair ANY day. Far, far better reliability, the h100i / h115i coolers are the most reliable units to date (close to the evga CLC series but they haven't been around too long).

I've used the new pro series, my h150i pro is quieter than my kraken was by quite a bit. Performance is great (they all perform the same anyway), and the stock fans are quiet as hell, better than the NZXT fans. The kraken coolers are also pretty unreliable for such an expensive unit. They are no more reliable then the cheap units.

I've got experience with both Corsair and NZXT's service, NZXT's is a joke. I contacted them to seek some kind of goodwill due to them sending me three dead coolers in a week, and they found it pretty funny. 

Corsair are THE name in AIOs, you can't beat them.

I used both, my h150i Pro is the quietest AIO i've ever used. I've used NZXT aios, Corsair, EVGA and even Be Quiet, and the corsair was the quietest followed by EVGA, Be Quiet and NZXT at the bottom.

Then again, every NZXT cooler I purchased was DOA or died within a few days, so...

Thank you VERY much, but why not the rgb? Same money and better looking...

I didn't even know there was a model without RGB, I have the RGB model.

AFAIK there isn't even a model without RGB since Corsair LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVES RGB.
