Question about NZXT Kraken Z73
It's possible that this has already been asked, but I've seen one sold for under 200. The first version says 3.6 cm and this one is 2.7 cm. How much difference does that make? And is there anything else to look out for? https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/nzxt-kraken-x73-36cm-cpu-kuehler-12663452?gclid=Cj0KCQiAuJb_BRDJARIsAKkycUlxZ6kl4q0Lb_Hrq8S7Ut3GjT75Pbs9epo6q3LnQHHs-cPmDQBx7DcaAjrJEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
The water cooling for 200 CHF (X73) is the older version. The Kraken Z73 is the newer version. The advantage to the old version is that you have a display on the cooling block of the Z73. On the display you can show various things, such as CPU temperature. The old version (X73) only has the NZXT Infinity logo on the cooling block, which cannot be changed. It doesn't say 3.6cm on the X73 but 36cm and this is the length of the radiator, which is also 36cm on the Z73. The thickness of the radiator is specified for the Z73, which is also 2.7cm for both. On the X73 it says 5.3cm, because the thickness of the fan has been added, as stated. digitec has made a mistake with the Z73 and the thickness of the fan has not been added.
Conclusion: The difference is mainly in the heat sink with the display. The size of the radiator is the same for both, so the temperatures should also be similar.
I hope I was able to help you, otherwise you are welcome to ask again.
