The NZXT Kraken Z-3 series will now include the NZXT Kraken Z53 240mm AIO in addition to the previously released 280mm and 360mm options. The NZXT Kraken Z-3 series is the perfect addition to any gaming battle station.

With unparalleled aesthetics and performance, the Kraken Z-3 series is built with the 7th generation Asetek pump and provides builders the opportunity to express themselves in an all-new way while keeping their CPU temps cool.

Both the Kraken X-3 and Z-3 series are compatible with mainstream CPU sockets, such as Intel’s LGA 1200 and AMD’s AM4 giving builders access to high-performance cooling no matter which platform they choose.
