Know before you buy
A 420mm radiator is quite large and requires a case with specific support for triple 140mm fan mounts. Please check your case's manual or technical specifications to ensure it has enough clearance for a 457mm long radiator before purchasing.
The LCD screen is fully customizable via NZXT CAM software. You can display real-time system performance metrics like CPU or GPU temperatures, upload custom GIFs, or choose from a variety of pre-set visual themes.
Yes, it supports a wide range of modern sockets including Intel LGA 1851, 1700, 1200, and 115X, as well as AMD AM5 and AM4 platforms.
The RGB Core fans are designed to daisy-chain together, allowing you to connect them to your motherboard and power source using a single cable. This significantly reduces cable clutter behind your motherboard tray and simplifies the installation process.
Yes, the pump block comes with high-performance thermal paste pre-applied to the contact surface. This allows for a quick and straightforward installation right out of the box.
Yes, the proprietary Turbine Pump operates between 1,200 and 2,800 RPM. You can adjust these speeds through the NZXT CAM software to balance cooling performance with acoustic preference.
