Recommended models: M22, X52
In the market where many traditional manufacturers carve up the integrated water cooling market, a brand from North America stands out. At first, NZXT was relatively rare in the Chinese market, but it was very popular abroad. Enjie has been rated as the best high-performance liquid cooling radiator and the best all-in-one liquid cooling radiator by Techspot, TechRadar, PCGAMER and other technology media for many times. In 2018, Enjie signed a cooperation agreement with Hongying International to enter the Chinese market in a big way, and soon after its development, it was planted by netizens as the standard brand of Baidu's new graphics card bar.
Enjie's product line is quite rigorous, there are not many classifications of the same product line, focusing on vertical development, and there is only one Kraken series of water-cooled radiators, with models M22, X42, X52, X62, and X72. The radiators have the largest selection of specifications available, but other than that, the components are exactly the same, so you can simply choose according to the size of the case. The distinction is simple, the M22 is a 120mm single-fan liquid cooler, and the X42 is 20mm longer than the M22 and has a special 140mm radiator. From the X52 upwards is a multi-fan liquid cooling radiator of more than 240mm.
The NZXT Kraken X62 is the brand's most popular product, with a 280mm radiator for good heat dissipation, RGB lighting, and can be connected to a computer CAM software to control the color. The X62 uses an Aer P 140 fan, chamfered air intake and hydrodynamic (hydraulic) bearing design, and can also be customized with a detachable colored decorative ring, 500-1800 rpm up to 2100 rpm, noise is between 21-38 dB depending on the rpm, quieter than other brands of fans, even in high-performance mode, noise is acceptable.
The Kraken X72 is NZXT's first 360mm all-in-one liquid cooler, with the most powerful cooling performance in the Kraken lineup to date. Compared to the X62, the X72's fans are more advanced, with its Aer P 120 fan speed between 500-2000 RPM and up to 2300 RPM, and noise control at 21-36 decibels, which is quieter than the X62 with dual fans. If the chassis is large enough, this product is recommended.
The price of NZXT products is higher, the M22 with a 120mm single fan is 699 yuan, and the specifications with more than 240mm dual fans are more than 1099 yuan, which is relatively high compared to Corsair and Tt. The price of the flagship product X72 1499 yuan is not high, and consumers can choose according to the chassis and budget. In addition, some users report that the water pump of its water-cooled products is easy to break, and NZXT water-cooled products provide 6-year warranty services, of which the first year is free of charge, and the 2nd-6th year of free maintenance only needs to bear the freight, of course, only the quality of the product itself.
