Required screws for mounting fans on either side of the AIO liquid cooler
Which Kraken are we referring to? You need 4x4 sets of screws with a 6-32 size so that each side of the radiator has two fans. Avoid what that person on The Verge did—running the long screw through the radiators without the fans. It could harm the fins and flow channels, maybe even cause a leak. The screw from the Kraken (though we don’t know which one) will be long enough to fit into the fan frame and then into the radiator threads without going all the way in.

I believe most radiators use M4 screw threads (though M3 is possible, M4 seems more common). You can discover some high-quality options online or at nearby hardware stores. I’ve tried inserting various screws and tested-fitting them when I needed something precise for my project.

We're discussing which Kraken models we're referring to. You should be receiving 4x4 screws with a 6-32 thread size, allowing two fans on each side of the radiator. Avoid what that person on The Verge did—running the long screw through the radiators without the fans. It could harm the fins and flow channels, maybe even cause a leak. The screw from the Kraken (though we don't know which one) should be long enough to pass through the fan frame and then into the radiator threads without going all the way in. I was thinking about getting the x72 Kraken and honestly, the Verge was really naive. I still can't believe they took a week to edit that video.
I tried the X72; it's a good cooler, though it's expensive and outperformed by the Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360R which is nearly $40 cheaper.
The NZXT looks a bit more stylish, especially from an appearance standpoint. The infinity mirror face really adds to its charm.

I'm working on syncing all the RGB settings for this build since I'm using the NZXT H700i case, and I want everything to match. Plus, I really appreciate the infinity mirror design.
