NZXT Kraken G10 GPU Bracket

I'm just worried about submitting all that info through some web form to some dude.... it'd be nice if he just set himself up as an Ebay service. That would be really nice, in fact.

The cart takes you to the ecommerce part of sqarespace.com as https:, so I'd say its secure. If you have an issue ordering thru him google squarespace and see if anyone has issues with their ecommerce site.

Personally I like to support this guy as he put this bracket together long before NZXT.
 
I just saw a french review of the g10 with an x60 on a Lightning 780. Even overclocked he never broke 35c.

This has me reconsidering my whole setup. New case with room for 2x280mm rads and 1 240mm rad.

My credit card is starting to wish I'd never seen this :)

Lol, yea. I wanted to water up, but I'm waiting to see how the g10 works out.

You saw my post over @ OCN? Are you xlim3y over there? The review convinced me to get a Thermaltake Extreme 2.0 to put on my Lightning :D
 
Yes i'm the same :)

I'm going to see how the h90's I bought work out on my SLI lightnings. If I can stay under 55 or so at my 1300mhz OC, I'll stick with the single rads.

If I'm struggling, then I'm going to look at a new case and perhaps a pair of x60's.

You should be good. DASHIT on here uses a H55 on his Lightning and runs under 55c @ 1400Mhz @ 1.3 or 1.35v.
 
Yeah I've been picking DASHIT's brain on everything.

I have a dwood bracket too, but I don't seem to be able to tighten it up the same as him, or I'm doing something else incorrectly. My temps are a fair bit higher than his, but still lower than the stock cooler, so I'm leaving it be for now until my g10's show up. It's difficult to know how much to tighten the nuts using this bracket.

They said shipping on the 25th, which is a Saturday. So I'm expecting that we don't get tracking numbers until the following Monday. They can't get here soon enough
 
I guess it depends on exactly which Asus Z87 board, but looks like most of them will work. On a lot of them the first PCI-E slot is spaced for a three slot card. That's what you need.

He said the mounting on the dwood bracket was a little tough to feel out

I ordered mine on the 12th of December and selected FedEx delivery. I am tired of waiting..... I get my TT Extreme 2.0 tomorrow, but now I think I need to mod my case to get it mounted in the front...ugh... yet another set back.

Lol if you are still waiting, no set backs. Prep the cooler fitting area it before the gpu mount gets there!
 
How well would this work with a corsair h60? The frys near me has some h60's for 35 bucks.
 
The other problem with the dwood bracket (and one of the main reasons I ordered 2 krakens) is that the ridges that hold the cooler in position don't exist on the dwood. When you mount one of these to a cpu, the ridges on the cooler are filled with the mounting bracket pegs. There's no chance of the cold plate rotating. The kraken has the same pegs to it to prevent rotation. That will make mounting it much much easier.
 
Hey guys a little update on the shipping issues.

We have been waiting for the ship to make it over here on time. We wanted to have the ship date mid January, but it didnt work out that way. They are on the way here at this time. Also the 3rd batch pre-orders are now live for the G10.


Outers, The G10 isn't designed to work with Square designed units. The H60 was made by a company called "Cool it". They made a design choice to go with the square look. The G10 works with only Asetek made AIO units.
 
Thanks for the update Eric.

What was the cutoff date for when an order moves from batch 2 to batch 3?
 
Sweet! Question! Question! Will the g10 work with other backplates?

Eric addresses this below, but I'll reiterate. You can use the H50 or H55, but the H60 is a different design and won't work.

I just placed my order today - do you know when the 3rd batch might ship? I was hoping "Late Jan" meant I would get it in a couple weeks but it doesn't sound like that's the case...
 
Guys an H50 and H55 will work perfect with this bracket. Just make sure the pump/cpu-block looks like the one below and you are good. Plus- Check the NZXT website, they have a list of compatible AIO's.

It's under spec - http://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/138-kraken-g10-gpu-bracket.html

I know, I was being dramatic :D I need to bust out the dremel tool and go to town on this poor 500R.

Hahaha! Ooh! That reminds me! I am RMAing my mobo, so that gives me a chance to rip out the remaining parts and Dremel out part of my hdd cage in the RV02!

Shipping tomorrow??
 
Anyone get a shipping date? I was told by nzxt when I opened a ticket it would ship 1/25.
 
I ordered 2 on 12/12/13. Both shipped out yesterday with a scheduled delivery date of 1/31.
 
I want to get some of these for my 290s but im worried about VRM temps.
 
NZXT has had my money for over a month as well with no signs of this thing coming any time soon. Makes you wonder how long it takes to fold up a peice of aluminum in China and shove it in a box with a fan and some warranty leaflets.

did only a certain color ship? i am still waiting to hear back from them why mine didnt ship. last time i contacted nzxt it took a week to hear back.

I ordered a black one. I heard that they are boxing up 200+ orders. I think we should have ours shipped today or tomorrow realistically. It shouldn't take more than a couple days to package and ship that many orders.

It's a possibility, but something you need to check out.

From what I have seen, only shorty H50 will work.

Some of the Brackets started shipping out on the 24th and more are going out daily. Please be patient, as we had over 200+ orders to get ready, verify all contents, package and then ship out.

We will have then all out for people who got them during the second batch.
 
I was told I was in the second batch, now you're saying I'm in the third batch?

"Hello Rick,


That batch you ordered from was the 2nd pre order which should be shipping out on Jan 25th.

The Xmas batch was of the 2nd pre-order.


Sincerely,


NZXT Support "

I ordered 12-30
 
I still haven't heard from them since they processed my payment and I was supposed to be in the second batch. :( Anyone else not heard that is supposed to be in the second batch?
 
Mine still hasn't shipped, but I was chatting with a rep yesterday on another forum and he told me my order was slated to go out today. So we'll see. I'm rebuilding into my new Enthoo Primo tonight after work, so if the brackets can get here by Friday, then I'll have a great weekend toying with overclocks and stuff.

Hoping he was right. Then again, I placed my order on December 27th, and was also told I was batch 2 (chatting with the rep yesterday seems to confirm it) Given what I've just read above, that would tell me I'm batch 3 :( which would make me unhappy.

Anyway, if/when I get my shipping notice today, I'll update the thread. Other places I read seemed to indicate they're not shipping it out by order date necessarily. I don't know if they just took everyone who was batch 2, tossed them in a big pile, and started shipping or what. I've been horribly impatient for this product though :)
 
Me too. We ordered on the same date I think. I remember only pre ordering because it was batch 2. Oh well if they drag feet any longer I will have a custom water loop.
 
Just received mine. Kinda in a hurry to finish this spreadsheet and set it up. Should never had this shipped to the office. :p

Never did receive an email notification or shipping info. Kinda weird that it just showed up on my doorstep... However no complaints from me about that!
 
Still haven't received any notification of shipping on my order. Hoping I get lucky and have them just show up like krazy

The 2 I ordered 12/12/13 shipped on 1/27. I never received an email notification. I just happened to check my order status by logging into my account on their website...it said shipped with tracking info! I still haven't received an email saying its been shipped....LOL
