240mm AIO for Intel and AMD sockets

The NZXT Kraken X53 RGB is a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler with addressable RGB lighting and an infinity mirror pump design. It supports Intel LGA 1700, 1200, 115X, 1366, 2011, 2011-3 and 2066 plus AMD AM4 and Threadripper sTRX4 or TR4 when a separate bracket is sourced. Two Aer RGB 2 120mm fans are included for radiator airflow.

Radiator space and fan headers required

Verify that your case can fit a 275mm by 123mm by 30mm radiator and two 120mm fan positions. The pump block measures 80mm in diameter and 55mm tall, so check CPU socket clearance around the motherboard VRM heatsinks. You will need a 4-pin PWM header for the fans and a USB 2.0 header for CAM software control. Threadripper mounting hardware is not in the box.

Thermals and acoustics in daily use

Fan speed ranges from 500 to 1500 RPM, delivering 17.48 to 52.44 CFM across the radiator. Acoustic output sits between 22 and 33 dBA depending on load. The rubber tubes with nylon sleeves run 400mm long for flexible routing. CAM software lets you balance pump and fan curves for quiet operation or maximum heat dissipation.
