**RELEASE THE KRAKEN**

[Robbie_G]

Hi,

As some of you maybe aware if you follow NZXT on social media they have been hinting at some new products for today's market. We have been working closely with them as always for the release of the New Kraken.

NZXT have released a new and better version of the already successful Kraken Range. They have released a 140mm, 240mm and a 280mm Version.

These coolers look very smart and if we go off the manufacturer details they will be quieter and have a better performance than previous models.

NZXT Press Release:
NZXT today announces the latest evolution in its renowned Kraken series, featuring the most advanced controls included in an all-in-one liquid cooler. With the debut of the Kraken X52, and the upgraded Kraken X42 and X62, everything, including the pump, radiator and fans have been designed and engineered to deliver cooling performance that is second to none.

“The launch of the Kraken X52 allows us to provide optimal cooling performance to builders in a 240mm form factor,” says Johnny Hou, NZXT’s founder and CEO. “With the all-new Kraken series, we’ve improved upon the previous generation in many ways. Incorporating HUE+ lighting and NZXT’s new digital control interface allows unprecedented customization to be delivered. The pump has been redesigned to bring quieter operations with improved performance.”

We are hoping to have reviews of the product shortly to see how it performs against other coolers in the market.

We are also waiting for a confirmed landing date for the UK. We are hoping November but it could be a little longer than that. Once we have confirmed ETA's the thread will be updated and the products will have the ETA attached.

The pricing below is probably what the costs will be once the stock lands due to how the market is going. We will expect most of the coolers to go up in price over the next month.

If its as good as my X41 then these will be NICE. I take it they work with the CAM software?

These are supposed to be better.

Yes CAM software.

Here is a little write up about the products - http://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/2648-nzxt-kraken-x42-x52-x62-tear-down-and-build-quality

Hopefully reviews will be available soon.

 

[Robbie_G]

I'm guessing these coolers still fit the NZXT G10 gpu bracket thou yes ?

Hi,

Sorry for the delayed response I have been looking into it for you. NZXT have now confirmed that the G10 will not work with the new Kraken. They will be working on a solution but I would not expect it until probably beginning of next year.

 

[Robbie_G]

Yeah it is a shame if you want to upgrade your current kraken but I believe a solution will be available in time.

 

[Robbie_G]

They should not be any later than the 9th December for the x52 and x62. The x42 will not be online with us until Jan.

 

[Robbie_G]

Impatiently waiting for the X62

Hi,

Not long now.

 

[Robbie_G]

I believe the ETA is 17th - 18th December.

 

[Robbie_G]

Any plans for a 120mm version ?

Hi,

I believe at the moment they are keeping the X31 on the market and just realising the X42, X52, X62. Not sure why.

 

[Robbie_G]

All we know is that it will be December time sorry we can't be more precise at the moment. If we can get better details I will post it for you here.

 

[Robbie_G]

I'm guessing no update yet - I'm also after these two things to complete my build.

Please see post 37 . No more precise update yet.

 

[Robbie_G]

Hi, I am unable to get an update. I would recommend posting here to get a better answer from the product manager.

 

[Robbie_G]

I would say that the X62 is just about 5c better @ about 1500rpm and top end the X62 also pushes 20cfm more due to the bigger fans.

The X52 is still a brillant cooler and if you can not wait then the X52 will serve you well.

However we are expecting about 50 more of the X62 in a small quantity between 13th and 17th Feb.

 

[Robbie_G]

Any deals planned?

No deals planned at the moment on the X52 and X62.

Any news on the revised GPU bracket?

NZXT are finalising details so as soon as I get them I will post in here. Details will hopefully be available by the end of the month.
