  • Perfect for cooling a 9950x in a small case
Color: Black Size: 240mm Radiator Style: Kraken Elite
I’m running a Ryzen 9 9950X, and the Kraken 240 Elite RGB has been performing way better than I expected for a 240mm AIO. My CPU idles around 39°C and maxes out at just 54°C during gaming and normal workloads. For a chip this powerful, those numbers are insanely good, especially on a compact radiator. (Using a slight undervolt) The pump is quiet, the RGB looks clean without being overdone, and the LCD display is sharp and actually useful for monitoring temps. Installation was easy, and NZXT CAM recognized everything immediately. If you want strong thermals, quiet operation, and premium aesthetics in a 240mm cooler, this one absolutely delivers. ... show more

  • Amazing Performance and Easy Install
Color: Black Size: 280mm Radiator Style: Kraken Elite RGB
I’m using the 280mm NZXT Kraken AIO with an Intel i7-12700K on a MSI Z790 Tomahawk Max motherboard, and this cooler has been outstanding. The installation was a breeze—everything lined up perfectly, the hardware felt solid, and the whole process was quick and stress-free. Cooling performance is excellent. Even with the 12700K, which can run hot under load, my temps stay low and stable. The pump and fans run quietly, and the overall build quality feels premium. The lighting and screen adds a clean, modern touch without being too flashy. I absolutely love this cooler. Easy install, great temps, quiet operation—highly recommended for anyone running a similar setup or upgrading their system. ... show more

  • Great cooler with a clear display
Color: Black Size: 280mm Radiator Style: Kraken Elite RGB
Was super easy to install for my first aio cooler. The screen is big and looks very clear. The customization is nice but the software feels a little dated. So far temps are in the expected range with the aio cooler. I recommend

  • 6th AIO from NZXT and failed within 4 months.
Color: Black Size: 360mm Radiator Style: Kraken Elite RGB
Well this will be the last NZXT product I'll ever purchase. After using their older models and having to send them back via RMA several times. These coolers do not last long, I do not know what I was thinking to purchase this one. I have done countless research over the years on what I may be doing wrong to cause issues with these aio's. After owning six different aio's and watching countless videos for these particular models for installation, reading the manual thoroughly just to result in my aio's on multiple machines to end up failing within a year. This one was significantly quicker than my previous aio's. I bought this in late June of this year and it ended up dying 4 months later. At first I thought maybe my bios update the week prior caused some kind of issue with the timings on my cpu and voltage were causing it to overheat rapidly . Because who would think a brand new aio would crap out so quickly? Keeping an account of temperature values when using this aio from when I first installed it. The temperatures were not bad, they read around 34-35c in the bios. Buying a cheap $30 fan cooler after this sudden failure to rule out the aio as the culprit proved to me despite this being a $300+ aio cooler, the cheap 30 dollar fan cooler outperformed it. Installing the cheap cpu cooler lead to the bios reading 29-31c on average. Now not a huge difference. But for a high end am5 platform, you would think liquid would be more effective at keeping things cool. NOPE! My test from when I first had the AIO through 3dmark's CPU thread test had a much lower score than my 30 dollar air cooler with the same stock settings for the bios. WHAT???? The CPU was throttling less and getting better scores. Sometimes expensive doesn't necessarily mean better. I'll save up for a better fan cooler, but this 30 dollar air cooler is doing much better than this hole in the wallet. ... show more

  • Keep the packaging, you may need to return this if the screw holes don't match up.
Color: Black Size: 280mm Radiator Style: Kraken Elite RGB
Looks great and appears to work quite well, so far. However, this is not a 280mm radiator. It is more like a 270ishmm. The first four screw holes lined up perfectly. However, the second four holes were about 8-9mms short of the mounts. I put the Kraken up next to my old Corsair 280mm and sure enough, they are short. Who knows, maybe the jig used to cut/thread the holes just climbed out of cold water before this measurement was set. Whatever. And the fans are one piece with only four total screw holes made for it. You can't screw in the middle holes, because there aren't any. ... show more

  • GREAT BUY
Color: White Size: 360mm Radiator Style: Kraken Elite RGB
Performance is above and beyond what I expected! First time ever writing a review! I used air coolers for the longest time and don't know why now. Super quite compared to anything I've ever used even under heavy load. My CPU is probably thanking me. I know it is a little pricey but with the Performance, being quite, and the NZXT Cam software being super user friendly. It was worth every penny!!!
