3. Guide d'installation
3.1. Avant de commencer
Ensure your system is compatible with the Kraken X63. This cooler supports a wide range of Intel and AMD sockets:
- Sockets Intel : LGA 1151, 1150, 1155, 1156, 1366, 2011, 2011-3, 2066, 1200
- Sockets AMD : AM4, sTRX4*, TR4*
*Note: TR4/sTRX4 brackets are not included and must be purchased separately.
3.2. Installation étape par étape
Follow these general steps for installing your NZXT Kraken X63. Refer to the detailed graphical instructions provided in the physical installation guide for your specific CPU socket type.
- Préparer la carte mère : Install the appropriate backplate and standoffs for your CPU socket type onto the motherboard.
- Mount Radiator Fans: Attach the two Aer P 140mm fans to the radiator using the provided screws. Ensure the fan airflow direction is correct for your case's cooling configuration (intake or exhaust).
- Installer le radiateur : Secure the radiator assembly to an available 280mm mounting location in your PC case (e.g., front, top).
- Appliquer de la pâte thermique : If not pre-applied, apply a thin, even layer of thermal paste to the center of your CPU's integrated heat spreader (IHS).
- Pompe de montage/plaque froide : Carefully place the pump/cold plate assembly onto the CPU, aligning it with the standoffs. Secure it with the thumb screws or mounting bracket. The pump head's orientation can be adjusted without affecting the logo direction.
- Connecter les câbles : Connect the pump's power cable to the CPU_FAN or AIO_PUMP header on your motherboard. Connect the fans to the fan splitter cable, then connect the splitter to a fan header or the pump's fan output. Connect the USB internal cable from the pump to an available USB 2.0 header on your motherboard for CAM software control.
- Gestion des câbles: Disposez soigneusement tous les câbles pour assurer une circulation d'air optimale et un montage propre.

4. Fonctionnement
4.1. CAM Software Integration
The NZXT Kraken X63 is fully integrated with the NZXT CAM software. After installing the cooler and booting your system, download and install the CAM software from the official NZXT website. CAM allows you to:
- Monitor CPU and cooler temperatures.
- Adjust pump speed for optimal cooling performance or quiet operation.
- Control radiator fan speeds and create custom fan curves.
- Customize the RGB lighting effects of the infinity mirror pump head.
4.2. Personnalisation de l'éclairage RVB
The Kraken X63 features a dynamic infinity mirror design with a larger LED ring, offering enhanced RGB lighting. Through the CAM software, you can select from various preset lighting modes, create custom effects, and synchronize lighting with other NZXT HUE 2 compatible devices. The rotating cap design ensures the NZXT logo remains upright regardless of the pump's mounting orientation.

5. Entretien
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Kraken X63 cooler:
- Élimination de la poussière : Periodically clean the radiator fins and fan blades with compressed air to prevent dust buildup, which can impede airflow and cooling efficiency.
- Inspecter les tubes : Check the rubber tubing for any signs of kinks, leaks, or damage. The nylon mesh sleeves provide protection, but regular inspection is recommended.
- Surveiller les niveaux de liquide de refroidissement : While AIO coolers are sealed systems, it's good practice to monitor performance through CAM software. Significant drops in cooling performance might indicate an issue.
- Mises à jour logicielles : Keep your NZXT CAM software updated to benefit from the latest features, performance optimizations, and bug fixes.
6. Dépannage
If you encounter issues with your Kraken X63, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Températures élevées du processeur :
- Ensure the pump is securely mounted to the CPU and making good contact.
- Verify thermal paste application.
- Check that pump and fan cables are correctly connected and receiving power.
- Confirm fans are spinning and radiator is free of dust.
- Check CAM software for pump/fan speed settings. - Bruit de la pompe :
- Ensure the pump is running at an appropriate speed in CAM. Excessive noise might indicate air bubbles; try gently tilting your PC case to help dislodge them.
- Verify the pump is not vibrating against other components. - L'éclairage RVB ne fonctionne pas :
- Ensure the USB internal cable is securely connected to both the pump and the motherboard's USB 2.0 header.
- Check CAM software for lighting settings and ensure the device is recognized.
- Update CAM software to the latest version. - Ventilateurs non fonctionnels :
- Check fan cable connections to the splitter and motherboard/pump.
- Verify fan speed settings in CAM software.
If problems persist after attempting these steps, please contact NZXT customer support.
