Unlock the true power of your GPU with the NZXT Kraken G12
Superior cooling performance, reduced fan noise, easier installation, and wider compatibility
NZXT Kraken G12
Los Angeles, CA April 11th, 2017 NZXT announces today the Kraken G12 kit, allowing users to use their liquid AIOs to better cool their GPUs. Lower temperatures at lower noise improve both gaming performance and experience. By mounting an AIO, like the NZXT Kraken Series, users can significantly lower their GPUs temperatures compared to its stock cooling, increase overclocking performance, and reduce noise output for an improved gaming experience. An update to the previous Kraken G10, the Kraken G12 allows for easier installation and wider compatibility with more than 30 popular liquid AIOs on the market.
Being able to play the latest games at the highest settings, without sacrificing performance is something all gamers want. While aftermarket graphic cards have improved lately, most stock cooling systems still cant reach the performance level of liquid cooling. Thats why we decided to design the updated Kraken G12 to be easier to install and support the latest liquid AIOs says Johnny Hou, NZXTs founder, and CEO.
