CONCLUSION

   Two things I was expecting from the KRAKEN X63 RGB, better cooling efficiency and slightly higher noise levels compared to its smaller brother (the KRAKEN X53 RGB) and as it’s clear from my charts I was right on the spot for both. Now the reason I mention noise levels is because on the specifications page NZXT clearly states up to 33dBA for both the X53 RGB and the X63 RGB something which obviously didn’t sit well with me. Still even though the AER 2 140mm fans of the X63 RGB are a bit louder the AIO as a whole is far from the loudest one in my charts. As for everything else the CAM software is certainly something we don’t see a lot with other AIO models (keep in mind that the screenshots used here are the same i used with the X53 RGB review – by the time i remembered i had removed the AIO from my test rig and placed back in its box) and as for looks the infinity mirror never ceases to amaze.

   Price is probably the sole drawback of the KRAKEN X63 RGB by NZXT since it currently retails for USD169.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 161.90Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) landing it right next to numerous 360mm models. The good news of course is that it has very little to be jealous of those models and since it’s also more compatible with PC cases that might not be an issue for many people. As for myself the KRAKEN X63 RGB lived up to my expectations and for that it deserves the Golden Award.
