Pros

Kraken g12 with a 360mm aio, cheap heatsinks and upgraded 5000 rpm fan (not nzxt) i read a lot of posts online about people having to use different standoffs and and copper shims. What worked for me was using a dremel to sand off just a hair to match ... Read More

The g12 is a very affordable option for bringing the silent life to older gpus. It's not pretty but it works excellently. The it's fairly aesthetically pleasing to the eyes.

Fantastic upgrade. Easy to assemble and get up and running. Overall really satisfied.

If your card is compatible, it's almost as simple as installing a cpu heatsink. The instructions are also pretty lean, so unless you are used to modding gpus watch some video tutorials first. This is on me, as that brand of cooler isnt listed as compa... Read More

Cons

Nzxt's g12 bracket is not compatible with a card that has a lot of memory or power controlling modules, it applies uneven stress on the mounting bracket. A cable to adapt a pwm pump/fan cable to smaller gpu fan headers isn't included (allowing rpm con... Read More

Highlights

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Quality

The card was derobed cleaned and decorated with the nxivm product as specified in the product instructions

I paired it with the evga clc 120mm cooler mounted on back of my case as exhaust

Will not work with the 1660 super from gigabyte

The g12 paired with the x53 aio has dropped my temp drastically

Price

Works every bit as well as the stock evga cooler did other than aesthetically this thing is ugly imo

I expected to return it but now i think i’d be happy even if it cost me double

Packaging/appearance

I bought it cause it says on the nzxt website its compatible with my rx570 but in the box it doesnt

After that i do recommend putting the the aio on to the bracket first i used the evga closed looped cpu cooler 120mm

I kid you not that vrm was my hotspot and could get up to 120c under heavy load

Competitiveness

I mainly play destiny 2 and now i’m running stable at 144fps on a 1440p monitor

I used a 280mm radiator to cool the gpu and my temps went from 55°c131°f at idle to 33°c 91°c and on load from 86°c186°f to 50°... Read More

My evga 1080ti hybrid cooler died a few weeks ago not great timing considering the massive gpu shortage right now

I bought the card and was disappointed to find that at 1080p my 1080ti outperformed it on superposition but 900 points
