Kraken X-3 RGB
The NZXT Kraken X-3 family is being expanded to include a variant with NZXT AER RGB 2 fans in order to provide builders with optimal RGB lighting in their gaming system. The Kraken X-3 series has a large RGB infinity mirror, with a rotatable pump cover, which ensures that the NZXT logo is correctly aligned. With the latest 7th generation Asetek pump, the Kraken X-3 RGB series has industry-leading cooling performance for all common processors.

Kraken Z53
With the Kraken Z53, the NZXT Kraken Z-3 series is supplemented by a model with a 240 mm radiator and rounds off the portfolio of the Z series in addition to the models already presented with 280 and 360 mm radiators. The NZXT Kraken Z-3 series is the perfect cooling for any gaming system and the 2.36-inch (60 mm) LCD display integrated in the pump cover offers unlimited visual customization options. Either system data or user-defined images and animated GIFs can be displayed using the NZXT CAM software. With unparalleled aesthetics and performance, the Kraken Z-3 series is also equipped with a 7th generation Asetek pump, giving builders the opportunity to express themselves in a whole new way while keeping the CPU temperature cool at all times.

All Kraken X-3 and Z-3 models are compatible with common CPU sockets such as Intel's LGA 1200 and AMD's AM4, which means that users can access NZXT's high-performance coolers regardless of the platform they choose.

"Our goal has always been to make building easier," says Johnny Hou, founder and CEO of NZXT. "We give people a variety of options to build a computer. Whether you want the system to shine in new RGB splendor or you want to display custom images or NZXT-CAM system data on your Kraken, we have for everything taken care of ".

Exclusive features of the Kraken X-3 RGB series:

Alive and quiet
Light effects complement your system with the included Aer RGB 2 fans. The fans have a special design that creates an optimal airflow while keeping the fans as quiet as possible. Liquid dynamic bearings in each fan ensure long-lasting, almost noiseless operation.

Exclusive features of the Kraken Z-3 series
With a bright 2.36-inch LCD display that shows 24-bit colors, it doesn't matter if it's a GIF or CAM system data, you can customize your Kraken however you want.

Incredible performance
The supplied Aer P or Aer RGB 2 fans are designed for water cooling. Equipped with a beveled inlet and fluid dynamic bearings, they offer low-noise operation, long-term reliability and powerful cooling.

Easy installation
A fine nylon fabric (sleeve) strengthens the rubber hoses and provides additional durability and protection against incorrect handling. The pump cover can easily be rotated and adjusted to your own needs without affecting the direction of the logo or image. *

* The pump orientation can be changed in 30 ° steps for the Kraken X-3 series and in 90 ° steps for the Kraken Z series.
