  • If you are looking for the best possible cooling for your processor, then water cooling is an excellent option. Ready-to-use kits such as those used in this test tend to deliver good to very good cooling performance. From models with a compact 120 / 140 m...

  • I was impressed with the X62, and it isn't any different with the X42. You do loose some performance in the high-end tweaking spectrum as passing 1.40 Volts on the processor would make it overheat under stress, that you do not have with its bigger brother...

  • Looking up the NZXT Kraken X42 online shows that Newegg currently sells it for $129.99. Is it that LED lighting that makes it so expensive? Hard to say. When I reviewed the X41 it was on sale for $109.99 at Amazon with price drops as low as $99.99. No mat...

  • In the past, noise was of little concern when it came to selling you an AIO cooler. It used to be a battle of fans where only the best thermal results in charts was where heads were at. Today, we see that this Kraken X42 is a balance of noise, performanc...
