Owner of the NZXT Kraken Elite 360 (2024), what is your CPU and what are your idle and gaming temperatures?

Hi,

I'm planning to get the 9950X3D and was considering the NZXT Kraken Elite 360 (2024) for cooling. I've seen many AIOs that perform extremely well, but the NZXT V2 was rarely at the top of the rankings. I previously built a system with a CPU that ran way too hot, and I’d like to avoid making that mistake again.

The NZXT has my favorite design (compared to the Trix, etc.), but I’m a bit concerned. How are your temperatures with this AIO? What CPU do you have, and at what RPM do you run your AIO? Also, how is the noise level? The look is by far my favorite, and I’d really like it to cool my CPU well so I don’t hit 80°C in games.

Some people report 50°C with a 9800X3D, which seems too good to be true, while others on Reddit have higher temps. I have good airflow with a push-pull setup, but temperatures are my main concern, so I’d really appreciate your feedback!

Thanks in advance! :)
