We can definitely say that its LCD is the highlight of the cooler. That’s because it lets you manage it via CAM to display an entire collection of data. You can readily view the temperatures of the CPU and GPU, set up various light effects, or display other information.

If the device does not detect using an alternative cable or if the device does not have a removable USB cable (i.e. RGB & Fan Controller, Kraken X61, etc.), then this may indicate that the device itself may be defective and need to be replaced. Kraken X Chipset Drivers

Final Thoughts

Setup is as simple as you would expect from a liquid cooler from NZXT. Mounting the pump by gradually tightening each of the screws makes for a secure fit with thermal paste applied across the entire chip. An experienced builder will have this mounted in a minute or two, and a newbie shouldn’t be too far behind! Now, let’s focus on the actual performance of the Kraken Z53 and see just how good it’s claimed to be. The Z53 is for those PC enthusiasts who want to add even more flair to their builds, in addition to the more standard RGB and see-through side panel. We’ll soon see that cooling performance is solid, but it’s the visual enhancement that sets this liquid cooler apart from the competition. Remember when CPU coolers were appraised exclusively by a single attribute; their ability to cool a CPU? These days, actual cooling performance has in many ways become a secondary concern, with RGB illumination, onboard displays and software customisation taking the front seats.

If after following the steps above your NZXT device is still not detected, then the device itself may be at fault and needs to be replaced.

NZXT Kraken Z53 Review – Design and Functionality The Kraken Z53 features fine nylon mesh sleeves that increase the rubber tubing’s strength. With that, it’s more durable and protected against mishandling. The Kraken Z53’s cap is made out of plastic and aluminium. It’s software-adjustable by default and has a 90-degree display orientation. In the past, the CAM software and displays were quite buggy. Plus, a couple of motherboards even needed a USB hub for the display to get identified by CAM. NZXT has a history of eye-catching hardware, and given the firm's catalogue of white PC chassis, it is no surprise to learn that its flagship liquid coolers are being given a pearly makeover. Kraken X- and Z-Series coolers are now available in matte white, as are Aer RGB 2 fans, and we have the mid-range Kraken Z53 RGB White in for review today.

It’s one of the most cost-efficient Z-class AIO coolers today, plus it’s the smallest and most compact in the range. Despite its compact size, the cooler works excellently and just how it should. The Z53 is an excellent addition to the company’s Z series of coolers. Like other NZXT products, it didn’t fail to deliver impressive performance. When it comes to coolers for smaller systems, it’s one of the best models you can buy today. Not only that, but the Kraken Z53 is similar to the refreshed and updated coolers. It also sports the latest 8th Gen Asetek pump, AER fans, and LCD.
