Obviously not the best value for money, but I bought it because I wanted the option to see my temps at a glance. Keeps my R7 7800X3D (overclocked as far as it'd let me) below 80 deg C during extended stress tests and gaming, idles at about 40 deg C. I'm using a thermal grizzly kryosheet instead of a paste, so you could probably get slightly better performance out of it than I do. The pump is basically inaudible at 2200rpm/65%, and I have it set to ramp up to max when the CPU goes above 75 deg C - still pretty quiet at 100%. Haven't managed to get liquid temps above 31 deg C, my room is almost always between 69-73 deg F. NZXT CAM software is easy to use for lighting and fan/pump control. Only complaint about the software is that I can't display liquid, cpu, and gpu temp at the same time - only two at once. I have it cycling through all 3 instead. Included fans are pretty much silent below 800rpm, and I don't feel the need to crank them up to anything above that for CPU cooling - only have them ramping up when GPU gets hot, because they're my only intake fans. I have them plugged into a motherboard fan header because I prefer to use FanControl for all fans. Installation was straightforward, though I overtightened one of the fan screws and cracked the corner of the fan (skill issue). My only complaint is that the included cable isn't as clean as it could be - would be nice if it were sleeved better, but I managed to tuck the USB internal header and CPU header cables behind the molex power one to achieve a clean look.

PC building these days is no more complicated than building Legos. This liquid cooler is no exception. Put it in, hook it up and it just works. Pros: Very quiet, easy to install software, and is simply to use. Overclock without worry. Cons: While installing, it was a little confusing as to which way the fans blow. I initially installed them upside down. Putting an arrow on the fans would help tell you which way the air will flow.

Excellent. Had gone full closed loop with dual 360s and took it out to put this in with a stock cooled GPU. This is for my CPU that was on a water block. Yes I can hear some fan noise at high loads but no, it isn't annoying and yes, it keeps it cool. I had a closed loop and it didn't do much better. The LED screen is MONEY!!! Fantastic to see my CPU and GPU loads along with a cool graphic or GIF. Are you kidding, stop thinking and just buy it. You won't go wrong. I have built my own systems since 2010, this is SOLID.

I am a big fan of Nzxt. Every time I build my PC or help my friends build PCs, I definitely advise NZXT Elite Heat Sink. And then its quality is gradually improving year by year. Quiet and great performance.

Better software than the thermaltake alternative solid performance and overall super quiet

Looks cool, and runs moothly. I like how I can upload any gif i like into it.

Awesome cooler! Keeps my i7-14700 at no more than 130°. Love all the lcd sceen, so many things you can do. Git it on dale for 180, WELL woth it

Its a little bigger than most so make sure it fits your case! The screen just brings my case to life!!!

Excellent. Fit perfectly. I was worried about a fiew bent fins, but it was super easy to nend back in place with my finger nail.

It’s a good AIO..just upset I had to buy another one because the first one was defective..purchased through door dash no way to return defective item..aio was recycled I bought another

Excellent cooler for the money. I only knocked a star off because I have some stability issues with the software. It may not be NZXTs fault though, as I run Fan Control software along with it, and the Kraken software can lose communications with the pump. It includes all screws and hardware to install it with no other assembly required, so if you can put in some case fans and a standard CPU cooler, it's no challenge to install this. The pump is too quiet for me to hear and it does a great job of cooling a Ryzen 9 5900X in a case with good airflow. So it's really only the case fans, not the radiator, that I hear when everything spools up.

Keeps my cpu under 30c on idle. Very quiet and I do like the screen

Its nice to have a display in the background of my setup reading Telling me my temps! And its keeps nice and cool

Best watercooler hands down keeps my CPU cooled even during intense gaming I'm never hitting over 55c love the LCD screen to allow you to customize it to what you like really good buy even when not on sale (it's constantly on sale) it's one I would buy over and over and recommend

I have been having issues with cooling my 5900X with a 240MM id cooling AIO. After lots of time dealing trying to pinpoint any issues, I found that it had to be the ID cooler. I swapped and put this in and instantly, all my temps were lower by 10-15C and I was able to all core boost well beyond my previous AIO. I would say that you do get what you pay for and even though my ID cooling 240mm AIO was $60, I spent so much time sorting things out that didnt matter and I should have just did it right.

Temps have dropped and stay maintained at 50c at heavy load. Also have gifs and it’s fun.

Awesome cooler with a cool lcd screen. Cooler does a awesome job at keeping my cpu cool

great cooler , the display look amazing keep me I7 13600KF under 50 while play games

Amazing display and better cooling than previous models.

This cooler has lasted me a year with no signs of deteriation at all. The fans are really nice and compatible if wanting to put RGB fans. Clearance was difficult but manageable. The LED screen is super helpful for PC temps and Load. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is in the market for an AIO cooler. I really don't plan on replacing this cooler for another 6-8 years.
