NZXT makes one of the best CPU coolers if want to go the all-in-one liquid cooling route, that being the Kraken X62. That will set you back about $140. If you want to save a few bucks and can live with a smaller radiator, NZXT's Kraken X52 is on sale for $99.99.

The Kraken X52 has a 240mm radiator. That's smaller than the 280mm radiator on the Kraken X62, though still expansive enough to do a good job keeping your CPU cool. It all supports all of the major sockets (both AMD and Intel) and sports addressable RGB lighting.

NZXT Kraken X52 | 240mm | RGB | $99.99 (save $50)
This all-in-one liquid cooler sports a 240mm radiator comes with a pair of 120mm fans. It also features RGB lighting and extended tubing, and is backed by a 6-year warranty. Buy at Newegg (Ebay)


I've been using a previous generation Kraken X61 for a few years now on my main rig. One of the things that's nice about the newer gen models is the longer tubing. That comes in handy if you own a big case, depending on where you mount the cooler.

If you don't want to buy the Kraken X52 through Newegg's Ebay, you can grab it direct from Newegg instead, or at Amazon. It's marked down to $99.99 (save 33 percent) at all three places.
