NZXT KRAKEN X52

Choosing how to cool your prized processor is always a curious decision. For instance, forking out extra cash for what amounts to a slim 240mm radiator rarely offers any greater advantage over another model, outside of a better designed fan and easier mounting solutions. However, we just can’t get past how fantastic the Kraken X52 is. With a plethora of lighting options, it’s a meeting of minds between the gaming RGB craze that’s been forced upon us and a desire to retain a degree of professionalism that, arguably, all our readers wish to see in their purchases. $150, www.nzxt.com
