PC hardware maker NZXT has just announced the latest addition to its line of liquid CPU coolers, the Kraken X-3 and Z-3. The X-3 has a bright LED ring and rotates so that the logo is repeated. The Z-3 comes with a 2.36-inch LCD screen, a 24-color screen that can display pictures, computer data, or animated GIFs, because that's probably what people want.
The animated GIF of the cool CPU shows animated atop GIFs in this post? With Kraken Z-3 installed on my PC, I was able to display that GIF of the cold CPU that shows the GIFs as a GIF on my cold CPU. I would put anime there. Or maybe some porn. After that I switched my computer to the side of the glass window facing away from me and never saw it again. I need a better way to display shiny and bright objects inside my PC. Maybe a mirror or something.
I found NZXT cooling very reliable in the past. The idea of that reliability combined with this complexity has bothered me. Look, they even made a small trailer and showed it.
The Kraken X-3 and Z-3 are is available for purchase in the U.S. from today. The X-3 is available in sizes 240mm, 280mm, and 360mm for $ 130, $ 150, and $ 180. The Z03, AKA with GIFs, costs $ 250 by 280mm and $ 280 in 360mm size. That means that the power of having a full GIF on your cold CPU costs $ 100.
It's worth it.
