Kraken Elite 360 RGB - 360mm AIO CPU Cooler, LCD - White

This is the successor of the previous version, and it trades punches with just about any other premium AIO. I also have the TRYX Panorama, the Hydroshift OLED, and the original Kraken. Its worth upgrading from the previous Kraken if you are wanting to stay inside NZXT's ecosystem. The size of the screen, and most notably the LED ring that illuminates with the animation you choose. Installation was made very easy (LGA1700/1851), you can mount it upright if you don't want to lay your pc down on its back, NZXT includes a self adhesive back bracket so it stays in place while you thread the stand offs. Very easy to install. Noise is minimal, if at all. I've been running mine for a few months with no issues at all, I get better temps than i did with my TRYX. You have the option to use, or not use the included uni-fan included. Also, you will not see any cables coming from the pump, as there is a breakaway cable that you can easily tuck around the side of the radiator and into the back. I loved the original Kraken, and this one is a hefty upgrade. The price is on the higher side, but it's the same price as the hydroshift OLED, or tryx Panorama. If you have conflicts with running NZXT CAM with any other software, you can create a delay in the windows startup for NZXT CAM, or the other rgb software, so that they don't freeze up. I have SignalRGB set to start 30 seconds after login, and NZXT immediately. I had conflicts running both, but it was only when both opened upon startup at the same time. This fixed the issues. You can also go into the software and hit "ignore X" to avoid further conflicts using more than one kind of lighting software. If you have been looking at this AIO, you will not be disappointed. The screen is crisp, and the LED ring is icing on the cake. It's also massive, but it will fit (I've tried on several motherboards).

I purchased the NZXT Kraken Elite 360 RGB CPU AIO Cooler as a part of a new higher end PC build that I was planning and it was a perfect fit for it! I will start off by saying this is a bit more of a premium AIO compared to some of the newer CHEAPER models by other brands, but this is definitely still a very solid choice especially for an aesthetically pleasing build. The Kraken Elite was very easy to set up in a PC build, (given you are following the manual or a youtube tutorial) coming with everything you need including screws and allowing you to mount the fans to the radiator yourself. I personally decided to mount mine on the top of the case and it was a pretty good fit as it allows the fans to be exhaust, pushing hot air out of the radiator and out of the chassis. The pre-applied thermal paste on the copper plate was definitely a great touch as it would allow for beginners to minimize mistakes with applying that. The Cooling on this AIO is definitely very efficient, generally keeping temps under 60-70°C under load for my R7 9800x3d which is described to run hotter, the Kraken Elite handles it extremely well. The pump & fans seem to be very quiet and doesnt cause any noise issues even at higher speeds, it handles it very well and even better with the Zero RPM Mode. Now when it comes to aesthetics, this thing definitely shines with its premium LCD Screen at 2.7inch IPS at 640x640 allowing for endless ideas of image/gif customization and the ability to show real-time system stats on top of that. Of course being done with the NZXT Cam software which has given me little to no issues at all! The NZXT Cam software is very straightforward and easy to customize your rig, especially if you are pairing other NZXT fans with the AIO, it allows for different RGB modes and separate profiles and tweaking of fan performance and so much more! With all of that being said I definitely recommend the NZXT Kraken Elite AIO for anyone that feels it will fit nicely into their PC build and is willing to pay the premium price for the quality product.

Easy to install, screen looks fantastic, software is easy to understand, it looks great. When I installed it and started it up it did have a slight "rattle" sound coming from the pump, i turned the pump to max speed and and ran some benchmarks to warm it up, after about 5 hours its silent. (Not 5 hours of benchmarks that was about an hour then played cyberpunk to warm up the whole system) **update, the noise came back louder, currently waiting to hear from nzxt. ** NZXT Did not care, they told me to exchange through amazon and amazon told me to exchange through nzxt, nzxt didnt bother to follow up with me through phone or email, terrible experience

I have only ever used NZXT AIOs since I started using AIO coolers in my builds. With that being said, there is a reason I have always chosen NZXT over other options. The Kraken looks amazing aesthetically speaking. My cable management skills are pretty weak, so I do wish the power cables were modular so you could place them on the right or the left depending on what your build requires. Aside from looks, this thing is a beast! It keeps my PC at the right temps, whether under heavy loads, or idle. It's super quiet compared to standard CPU fans as well which some people look for. It fits perfectly in my NZXT H9 Flow, and leaves enough clearance to make for easy installs. I've never had issues with NZXT AIOs, and I'm hoping it stays that way. Extra points for how good the screen looks as well, even with my case that definitely needs a wipe down.

Been good so far no issues really, seems definitely overpriced for the cooling it gives and could be quieter in some modes but has been decent.

I’ve built over 100 units, and the NZXT Kraken Elite 280 RGB (2024) is one of those AIOs that usually goes in nicely and looks great once it’s finished. The pump and fan combo gives you a clean, finished look, and the RGB is bright without being overly cheap-looking in the case. It’s also a smoother experience than a lot of other AIO installs because everything feels more “consumer friendly” and you’re not constantly fighting adapters or weird mounting quirks. Performance-wise, it’s dependable. In the builds where the CPU is under sustained load, it holds temps in a reasonable range and keeps systems stable. The cooler design also integrates well with modern setups, so it doesn’t feel like you’re squeezing it into a random template—it just fits and looks right. In general, customers tend to love the way it turns the build from “basic” into “done.” Now for the part I want consumers to know before they waste time: the water lines/hose routing can be tight. This is something I’ve seen more than once with NZXT over the last few years—on some cases, the hose length and bend allowance simply don’t give you much room for a clean route. If your case has a more complicated route path , you can end up with tension on the hoses. You’ll realize you don’t have enough slack to lay the tubing the way you want without fighting it. So if you’re buying this,and want a clean side mount , they my not be possible! Before final mounting, dry-fit the radiator/pump positioning and check that the hoses can reach without pulling or kinking when when the GPU is in . If your case layout is tight, you may have to adjust radiator placement, so nothing forces the hoses into an awkward angle. Bottom line: the NZXT Kraken Elite 280 RGB (2024) is a strong, good-looking AIO and a solid choice for cooling, but hose routing/length is the weak spot. If you’re okay designing around that, it’ll treat you well. Great BUT hose Length becoming more and more an issue

The screen is quite nice, and the app makes it easy to select images. Just download from giphy or similar source for gif files, and use the app to crop and add to the screen. The app does need to be turned on on start-up for the image to load, but does not need to be kept open. It will keep track of previous images used so you can swap them on the fly. Prominent and sharp look makes it very tasteful, and the screen was larger than I anticipated.

It came with thermal plastic removed and seems a bit leaky

Modelo de mas calidad de la gama de refrigeraciones líquidas y se nota, muy silenciosa. La pantalla es una pasada, muy personalizable. Precio elevado pero se paga.
