According to our processor cooler expert
The NZXT Kraken X72 is a plug-and-play liquid cooler for your processor. The 3 120-millimeter fans make this liquid cooler very suitable for hardcore gamers and overclockers. The fans ensure a good airflow in your case, while the heatsink with water pump cools the processor. That keeps the CPU from overheating, even when you push it to its limits. The pump has RGB lighting that you can match to your other computer components. This liquid cooler is already filled, so you can install it quickly.

Price-quality ratio
Personally I think this is a great cooler especially if you want to overclock you get good temps. Looks good and goes with everything, price is on the high side but worth it.
LOOK OUT. If you have a motherboard with 4 RAM Slots and you buy ram for all 4 slots, this cooler may not fit the right direction. in my case I had to flip the cooler because the tubes were in the way of the ram.

It is simply the best AIO water cooler at the moment.

When I ordered the kraken x72 I was concerned whether it would fit or not. the delivery was fast and when it arrived it was well and safely packed.
I immediately noticed that it was large, which was of course to be expected since it has 3 fans. I followed the manual as it should be (this was a bit confusing, because the steps are described side by side for intel and AMD, so you had to see how much to skip and what not).
screwing the x72 together was easy. installing was a bit of a pain as it is large, my case (NZXT H440) had a mounting plate for the HDD in the way, this was not a problem as I could just unscrew it and lower the HDDs one level. after this the water cooling fitted perfectly in my computer system.
The cables are long and nice to shy away from the side. just like the hoses of the water pump, they were easy to orient the way you want.
after installing it, I tested it immediately, at the beginning of start-up the water must first become cool. this only took 1 minute or 2 until it got to full cooling. this water cooling keeps my CPU very cool.
Setting the lighting is also nice, you can set the logo and the ring separately. only synchronizing to the music is the same for both, but that synchronization seems a bit strange to some when these songs are quite monotonous.

generally. a SUPER cooling, the best I had so far!
