More than three years ago, I started the NZXT's water-cooled X60. Now, I couldn't resist the upgrade. I entered the NZXT's latest integrated 280mm cold row X62 (the X61 in the middle was crossed by me, because the X60 has been using Very good), although the Internet is out of the box, but I still firmly believe that the siren has always been the standard, milk tea East one, really live up to my expectations, really RGB is the most beautiful one-piece water!
Patchwork introduction: X62 is still the continuation of the style of the Kraken family, and is the same as the pirate ship by Asetek OEM, AIO integrated closed water cooling program, one copper pump cold head, size 80 × 80 × 52.9mm, pump speed is 1000 ~ 2800rpm ± 300rpm, within the mute high-power pump, high-flow program. In addition, there is a mirror RGB LED “ring of light†backlight at the top, which can be used to remotely control the adjustment mode and color by driving or even CAM. The siren X62 is preloaded with two 14cm Aer P series fans, speed 500 ~ 1800rpm ± 300rpm, noise 21 ~ 8dBA, actually what special 6 year warranty, really confident.

Kraken X62 - NZXTKrakenX series design still continues the style of the Kraken family, AIO integrated closed water cooling scheme, pure copper one pump cold head, size 80 × 80 × 52.9mm, pump speed is 1000 ~ 2800rpm ± 300rpm, within the mute high power Water pump, high flow rate program. In addition, there is a mirror RGB LED “ring of light†backlight at the top, which can be used to remotely control the adjustment mode and color by driving or even CAM. Kraken X Direct Link Appearance 
The arrival of milk tea in the east is fast, and it is transported with plastic bags.
Product packaging, printed on the front with a radiator photo, after I use the feeling of the color of the outer box if the color gradient is good, more close to the characteristics of the X62.
Package front and back
On both sides of the packaging are propaganda notes written in various languages
Looking down on the package, it's too simple and it should be colored
experience feelings
Just opened the packaging, the last layer of paper shells written on a variety of languages ​​written on the "building extraordinary", NZXT International Fan Er advertisement language
The first thing I saw was the paper installation instructions
Out of the box, the radiator body and the fan cover have thin paper shells, and the inner box is a common pulp molded product in the integrated water-cooled product package.
List of all items in the box: X62 water cooled radiator body, Aer P140 140mm fan, two fan screws and intel/AMD platform clips (supported models: Intel Socket 1151, 1150, 1155, 1156, 1366, 2011, 2011-3 AMD Socket AM4, FM2+, FM2, FM1, AM3+, AM3, AM2+, AM2), (The installation manual was forgotten to be shot together)
X62 is equipped with 280mm thin body cold row, its overall size is 315 x 143 x 30mm, 12cm hole position is not provided, the detail is better than the predecessor X60, the side is accompanied by the NZXT logo, the water cooling effect should also have a certain increase, the cold drainage channel 15 Article, 2 more than X60
Cold head close-up X62's water-cooled head is a pure copper integrated water pump cold head, size 80 × 80 × 52.9mm, the pump speed is 1000 ~ 2800rpm ± 300rpm, within the use of high-power silent water pump, high flow rate program. In addition, there is a mirrored RGB LED "ring of light" backlight at the top. The pump operation mode and RGB color can be adjusted by CAM software.
Water-cooled head pre-installed with intel clips, round copper bottom, covered with clear plastic protective shell
Cold liquid hose and cold head connection is a common 90 degree elbow connection
Base close-up
The side of the cold head is rubber on the side of the base, and the metal mirror on the side of the top
To prevent smudges on the sides and mirrors, I used gloves when shooting...
There is a transparent sticker on the top of the cold head to prevent accidental touch, which can stain the mirror on the top of the cold head. The NZXT logo on the top of the cold head and the inside of the ring light bar can all emit light. The built-in RGB effects are detailed in the photos and videos below.
List of attached cables, cold head built-in water pump, fan, and LED lamp are all powered by the power Sata port
USB interface is used to connect the computer motherboard USB interface, control the cold head built-in water pump, fan and RGB lamp
The water-cooled head is 530mm thick and 800mm wide. The head of the water-cooled cold head is not small.
Water cooling pipe
Cold liquid hose net hardness is acceptable, does not affect the water cooling head fixed bend
Liquid cooling tube and cold row connection part looks thin
NZXT's own fans have Aer RGB 140 with RGB, but as a high-end model X62 does not come with cool RGB fans (in fact, can not be achieved through the X62 color), only with two relatively cheap models Aer P140, It is estimated that the control of color on the X62 will affect the sale of its own HUE control box
Normal 4-pin PWM fan, speed 500~1800rpm±300rpm, noise 21~8dBA
installation
The supplied screws follow the instructions, the gasket rests on the fan, and then the screw is fixed
The part that comes into contact with the fixing screw is a rubber material, which can relieve the vibration of the fan operation.
The edge of the fan is slightly tilted
Fix the fan on the top screw and you can see the gasket
Looks good
Sata interface power supply, can connect 4 fans
Remove the original X60 and wipe off the residual grease
As shown in the picture, I took the X62's water-cooled head directly and took it down. I can see that the cold-head factory-coated grease does not cover the entire CPU cover.
So I myself had a little grease
The cold and cold heads are fixed, and after the connection is completed, the transparent sticker for protecting the cold head mirror is finally peeled off.
CAM software interfaceTo buy X62 players must play lights or want to customize the fan speed strategy, etc., you need to first go to the NZXT official website to download and install CAM software, the latest version of the official website is v, this software allows users to fan speed, pump speed, Control and regulation, while also monitoring the motherboard, CPU, GPU, RAM operating frequency, current temperature, and even overclocking (this is a Beta test)! Very powerful, next show CAM software interface
The first installation requires adjustment of the language. After the simplified Chinese interface is set, the main interface displays the basic interface of the dashboard by default. You can directly see the CPU, GPU temperature, load, fan rotation, hard disk usage, and RAM load. The Kraken X62 interface is nested at the bottom, allowing you to see the temperature of the coolant, fan and cold pump
The advanced interface of the dashboard is the overall running status of the CPU, GPU, main board, RAM, hard disk, and network (two items are displayed in the interface, I have integrated it into a big picture). There is a small BUG that cannot be viewed on the mechanical hard disk.
The extended information is divided into the statistical information in the above figure and the specifications in the following figure. The statistical information shows the operating frequency, temperature, and other operating conditions of the hardware.
The specification option is to view the physical properties of the hardware
The second item "system" after the dashboard is a list of hardware configurations of the computer's CPU, GPU, motherboard, memory, and hard disk light.
The third "game" shows that the running games are generally FPS and online games, like the heroes invincible 7 turn-based games missed this
The fourth "adjustment" is the most important part of RGB. The RGB effect of Kraken X62 is set here.
Under the regulation of overclocking function or beta beta, it will pop up disclaimer, playing the player's responsibility
Kraken X62's default operating modes are divided into three types, fixed mode, silent mode, performance mode, the default coolant temperature set the fan and the pump speed, in the custom mode, I set the CPU temperature fan and pump speed , the picture is placed in the next CPU temperature test
CPU temperature testRoom temperature 23 degrees Celsius, non-bare machine platform, chassis NZXT H440, 5820K motherboard default overclocked to 4.00Ghz, little sense of standby, direct measurement of full load, run two AIDA64 (version 5.40.100. 00.0) CPU test, baking machine 10 minutes
The first is the silent mode of running and playing, always the fan and the pump are not running at full speed, the CPU core maximum temperature can reach 82 °C, generally around 78 °C
Then he ran seriously, using my own personal settings. When the CPU temperature reached 70°C and 65°C respectively, the fan and the water pump were running at full speed. After 10 minutes, the CPU core had a maximum temperature of 78°C and an average temperature of 72°C.
Because the X62 Aer P fan is not a particularly good fan, so the test temperature is generally not what I expected, it touches at the same time running at full speed than my original X60 sound a lot, feel good
Nightlight effect (video) Pulled for so long, finally arrived at this step, the most important visual effects came
The default is to turn on various RGB effects in 3-color mode, up to 8-color cycles supported, and the default effects (color cycle speed is also adjustable) are as follows
Gradient (opens seven-color mode) Coverage Marquee Heartbeat rainbow
You can also set the NZXT logo and halo RGB separately, as shown below 
Will directly increase alternating, Tai Chi and other patterns
The NZXT logo and Halo's RGB can work together in different modes, but there will be a bug in the setup process: that is, the NZXT logo and the Halo RGB display have the same selection effect, but in fact they are two different effects, as shown below
NZXT logo chooses breathing mode, halo chooses rainbow mode, RGB video effect is as follows
to sum up
This assessment is the first time I joined the video content, I hope the majority of value-friends like, this upgrade is a conventional hardware upgrade, but the X62 brings me far more than expected, not only in all aspects beyond the predecessor X60, in the lighting effect On a tower, light lovers must not miss this water-cooled
Advantages: More dense waterways, more silent fans RGB effects, various special effects settings, beautiful
Disadvantages: Can not control multiple RGB fans through the X62 CAM software occasionally convulsions, but does not affect the water-cooled RGB has been set, the other is there are some BUG, ​​such as SMART can not read the mechanical hard drive, set the pump and fan customization Need one by one setting, can not be saved at the same time, the setting display has BUG, ​​but it does not affect the actual use effect
