Manual of product Kraken 120
Editorial note
The NZXT Kraken 120 stands out for its modern and sleek design, highlighted by multicolored lighting that allows you to customize the ambiance of your space. Its copper and aluminum construction ensures excellent thermal conductivity, guaranteeing optimal performance and increased durability. Additionally, the fan has low energy consumption, contributing to prolonged use while reducing the impact on your electricity bill. However, some drawbacks are worth mentioning. Limited compatibility with certain processors may restrict its use for specific configurations, and the absence of pulse width modulation (PWM) may affect noise management and fan performance. Although the maximum noise level of 36 dB is reasonable, it may be perceived as too high in noise-sensitive environments. Finally, while the black design is modern, it may not suit all interior styles. In terms of user performance, the model scores high, particularly for user experience and usage duration due to its low energy consumption. Nevertheless, improvements could be made regarding noise management and compatibility with a wider range of processors. Overall, the NZXT Kraken 120 is a good choice for those seeking effective and aesthetic cooling, while keeping certain limitations in mind.Score details
