NZXT Kraken x52 VS Cryorig H7

RektSkrubz · Apr 30, 2017

I have been wanting the NZXT Kraken x52 for a few months now, and I have been wondering something - Would it be worth the $150 to upgrade from my Cryorig H7? The RGB aspect is nice, but would I see much of an improvement in temperatures (10C off what I see now)? I am currently using a 6700k. Does NZXT cover water damage? (It would be my first time with an AIO)

Water damage is not covered, though the pump is warrantied. For your CPU, the difference might be 3-6c.

6700K:

Be aware that lowering your CPU by 6c will not measurably improve stability, lifespan or reliability.

So it's probably not worth getting? If there is an AIO 2x120mm fan (possibly with RGB and water damage warranty if possible) that would be worth getting, what would it be? Thanks!

What's your goal? What is your current cooler not doing that you want to improve upon, and by how much?

I do want to overclock a little further. My 6600k was only able to make it to ~4.5GHz, and now that I have a 6700k I want to OC it as far as I can, safely.

And what are your current temps at your current clocks?

RektSkrubz · Apr 30, 2017

70C max, but that's during stress tests. In gaming, it gets to mid 60s.

Ecky · Apr 30, 2017

You still have at least another 20c of thermal headroom (in real-world tasks) with your current cooler before you should be remotely concerned. I don't see why you need a new one?

RektSkrubz · Apr 30, 2017

I just want to OC as far as I can on water or air.

Ecky · Apr 30, 2017

Well you've not hit your limits with your current cooler. Why not test to see how far you can get with what you have before spending any money?

RektSkrubz · Apr 30, 2017

I just don't like my temps above 75C.

Ecky · Apr 30, 2017

You said you're only mid 60's when you're doing things you normally do on your PC? Anyway 75c seems a pretty arbitrary number. If you'd like to lower it, you can, but chances that you're not going to see any difference in reliability or stability.
