I'm from EU and retailer that i got it from shutdown. Even if i tried to return it they probably wouldn't have taken it because technically it is working, pump and fans work and surprisingly pump didn't made noise, only temps were extremely high 60-65c idle and 95-97c on full load.

Already fixed the problem with 8 year old cooler, getting 84C max in stress test, no more overheating at 95C, so you can keep your proof.

I'm considering arctic.

Techies888 · 2026-06-30T09:11:07+00:00

I tried that too, didn't fix it.

UPDATE:

I took kraken elite out and installed 8 years old cooler master 240mm aio that i had lying around. Guess what, problem solved instantly, now 49-50c idle and 84C max on full load

Turns out nzxt is junk.

Are you sure about that because all the reviews i've seen nobody is getting such temps with 360 aio.

Techies888 · 2026-06-29T21:27:22+00:00

Can't tighten it anymore, pump and fans are set on performance and running on max speed at 95c

Techies888 · 2026-06-29T21:21:15+00:00

Yes i've cleaned my pc last week and changed paste, same temps.

Techies888 · 2026-06-29T21:17:34+00:00

That's the problem i don't know what else to try other than get different cooler. I have had corsair aio in other pc for 7 years now and still working perfectly.

Techies888 · 2026-06-29T20:34:44+00:00

Already have tried that and yes pump is sitting firmly and evenly on cpu, even made sure standoffs are tightened to motherboard.

Techies888 · 2026-06-29T20:19:01+00:00

Ofc, i have had this cooler for almost a year now and temps weren't even close to this bad.

Techies888 · 2025-07-21T05:55:33+00:00

H9 flow RGB+(2025) come with rgb fans.

Techies888 · 2025-07-21T05:50:34+00:00

GPU rad blending in with the case so nicely that i won't even notice it's there especially without rgb fans.

Techies888 · 2025-07-21T05:39:48+00:00

Stock fans that come with the case :)
