Prawn here with a review of the NZXT Kraken Plus 360 RGB all in one cooler. I've used this cooler with two different builds in the same case with both Intel and AMD CPUs. So I'm showing you how it performed in this setup and what it was like to install. I've also got a separate wiring and setup guide to help if you need it.
