So, I just got my Kraken X61 from NZXT and I opened it with excitement yada yada yada, but I didn't hear any liquid. So my question is, do I need to purchase some liquid mixture sort of thing or what?

 

Thanks!

No. Coolant is already in the cooler. Because there are no air bubbles inside, you cannot hear any liquid swishing sound.

The X61 is a fully closed loop. You should not do any kind of maintenance apart from removing dust from the fans, and applying thermal paste whenever re-mounting the cooler.

Okay, so everything is set and done? No need to do anything?

Well, installing a cpu cooler involves a lot of steps. But you don't need to put liquid in it.

Quoted the wrong thing. But I think you get the idea.
