Review: NZXT Kraken G10 GPU Water Cooler on an AMD Radeon R9 290X
Posted on: 2013-12-11 15:09:23 Written By: Nathan Kirsch @ Legit Reviews When we heard that NZXT was coming out with a low-cost water cooling kit for video cards we were ecstatic and couldn’t wait to get one to try out. At first we thought NZXT was coming out with a product that included a water cooler, but the end result is basically a $29.99 mounting kit for a water cooler. The Kraken G10 from NZXT allows you to install ANY Asetek based All-In-One (AIO) water cooler to your video card. NZXT has kept the retention system the same on their pumps for seven years and will be using it again on their next-generation products as well. This means that there are thousands of water cooling kits out there that can be used to cool your system. With so many closed loop coolers out there this is perfect for those looking to do something with their old single 120mm cooler and upgrade to a dual 120mm cooler or a newer model for their CPU. The mounting kit that NZXT uses is also fairly generic and can be used on dozens if not hundreds of video cards made by both AMD and NVIDIA. So, if you wanted to water cool your video card and wanted to use a closed loop cooler then the NZXT Kraken G10 will likely work. Read The Review Here |
