Size: 360mm Radiator
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.

The pre-applied thermal paste and easy to swap brackets make installing this a breeze. The actual performance is pretty good. CPU temps run a little higher than my air cooler that this replaced, but it is still acceptable and can be remedied with better airflow.

Excellent Item, peak performance with fine tuning of fan speed, mounts in a breeze, and has very compatible connection with a multitude of software. Certainly, came at a solid price for the reliance. A notable detail, the three 120mm fans are combined into a single unit, mounted with only 4 screws in the corners. They are not separate fans! Also, all aspects of this product are white, but the screws are black if that's important to anyone.

I love this AIO from the design to the performance NZXT knocked it out of the park. The LED display is very big, customizable and bright. I love being able to look over at my pc and see my temps without having to open up any software its a very nice feature. The RGB ring around the display is cool I just wish it was better diffused as you can see the individual LEDs and at this price point I expect better. The built quality is fantastic! Everything is super solid and made with high quality materials. The Performance is amazing. It keeps my Ryzen 7 7800x3D super cool under full load. The pump motor is slightly loud at full load but its acceptable nothing that is unbearable but you can hear it. When you talk about value for money here its hard because while this is an incredible product it is very expensive for what you get. You can get something similar in performance to this for much cheaper. What you are paying for here is the NZXT brand, design, and build quality. When it comes to that I think its worth it if you got the extra cash to spend you wont be disappointed!

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
