Hi all,

I’ve got a NZXT Kraken X52 on my i7-8700K and I want to upgrade to either an i7-10700k or a i9-10900K.

I want to know if my Kraken x52 will provide adequate cooling for those?

Thank you

I agree with Lutfij.

You need a bigger radiator. Look into the X73. Also, just a reminder to make sure your PC case can accommodate the bigger AIO.
