Hey so I'm debating between the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 240mm and the NZXT Kraken X53 (also 240mm). I'm in Canada so pricing is a bit weird, but not worried about the cost, I'm full sending it. I know both are really good coolers and will yield very similar performance.

I like the little VRM fan on the Arctic but not sure how much of a difference it will make. Otherwise, the only reason I was really looking at it was because of its very good performance (Gamer Nexus video).

The build I'm putting together has 0 RGB and is all black. The only lights will be 2 small strips on the motherboard (B550 Aorus Pro AC). I like that the NZXT cooler has the customizable screen thing on the pump and, that it'll also give some light in the case to show off the parts.

Anyways, I need help making a decision. I'm torn between 2 great products that will, at the end of the day, give me similar performance. Would love to hear your experiences with either product.

In case more info is needed, the specs are 3600X, 16gb Corsair vengeance LPX, EVGA 2070 KO Gaming (will step up to 3070), Meshify C, some storage (1tb SSD and 2tb HDD) and a Corsair 750w PSU.

Cheers everyone
