I recently built a new PC inside the NZXT H6 Flow RGB. While doing that I decided to use a 240mm all-in-one CPU cooler in the form of the NZXT Kraken 240 RGB (   • NZXT Kraken 240 RGB Setup and wiring ...  ). I figured this was probably a bad idea, because the i9-14900K does run a tad hot. Still, it was what I had to hand and I thought it might be a good experiment to see how well the CPU could be cooled by a smaller AIO in a compact case with good airflow.

These are the results of that test and what I did to change things.
