NZXT Kraken M22 120mm liquid cooler

This all-in-one CPU cooler uses a 120mm radiator and a single Aer P120 fan to move heat away from the processor. It fits a wide range of Intel sockets from 1150 through 1700 plus AMD AM4 and older AMD platforms. The pump block measures 65mm square and 48mm tall, while the radiator is 152mm by 120mm by 32mm.

Sustained-load behaviour

The pump and fan are managed through CAM software on desktop or mobile, letting you tune curves for long sessions rather than short bursts. Fan speed ranges from 500 to 2000 RPM with a noise output of 21 to 36 dBA. Reinforced 400mm tubing reduces evaporation risk and resists kinking during extended operation.

Compatibility check

Verify that your case can mount a 120mm radiator with 32mm thickness and that clearance around the CPU socket accommodates the 65mm square block. Extra LGA 1700 mounting brackets are not included and must be requested from the manufacturer. The cooler is not compatible with the Kraken G12 GPU bracket.

Questions about this item

How loud is the Aer P120 fan when the Kraken M22 runs continuously at full speed?

The fan operates between 21 and 36 dBA across its 500 to 2000 RPM range, so sustained maximum speed will sit at the upper end of that band.

Which separate bracket kit must I already own to mount the Kraken M22 on an Intel LGA 1700 socket?

Extra LGA 1700 brackets are required and must be obtained from the manufacturer before installation.

Will the 120 mm radiator and 400 mm tubing reach the mounting points on an older AM3+ board without stretching?

The radiator measures 152 x 120 x 32 mm with 400 mm tubes, a layout designed for the wide socket range that includes AM3+.
