Anyone have experience upgrading the x72/x73 to the new kraken elite 360? What are your thoughts, do you think it's an improvement in performance, is your cpu the same temperature?

I'm also interested in hearing how the "New" Krakens perform, the New Kraken 360 (non-elite) specifically.
I'm still using an x62 I bought back in April 2017. Having such a good experience makes me want to give another a go.

I just replaced my 6 year old x72 with the new elite 360. In my experience, I'm getting a solid 5 degree jump in temp when idling in the BIOS. This is with the same exact thermal paste under all the same exact conditions.
This is why I reached out. I wanted to see if others were experiencing the same thing. Seems strange to me since the reviews look pretty decent and NZXT says it should be on par if not better with cooling performance than previous generations.
