Infinity Mirror, not LED screen
Saw a Kraken in a Tiktok video about a year ago and ever since, I've wanted to get one for whenever I build a gaming PC. Finally pulled the trigger and bought all my supplies a couple weeks ago, including this cooler. I mistakenly thought this was the one with the programmable LED screen, but that was my fault for not paying enough attention. So if you're wanting the LED screen one-- this is NOT it. However, all that being said, it seems to be working really well so far. Temperatures are staying stable and cool, it's nice and quiet, and the rbg lights and infinity mirror look great. No regrets! The only con I can think of is that this was by far the trickiest part of building my gaming PC. It's a bit bulky, and the hoses can be difficult to position well within your computer case. Once it's installed, it's great. Installation can just be a bit difficult (at least if you're inexperienced like me).

Great upgrade
Upgraded from a 120mm AIO and this makes a huge difference. It looks great in my H5 Flow from NZXT !

Performs very well, looks amazing.
Purchased for my brother and installed for him, as he was having overheating issues. AIO performs very well Keeping his processor at roughly 28°c when idle and really doesn't get past the low to mid 70's during gaming. It's also pretty quiet. The included fans are great too, and can be set to run pretty quietly or higher rpm for performance. Visually, this is a very striking product, that adds a lot of flare to your rig, so this is best paired with a case that has a glass panel (or even some type of open bench). RGB on the fans and pump are great, and can help pull together a battlestation from an aesthetic p.o.v. Set-up is a little involved, and you need the technical know-how, but as long as you know what you're doing it's easy (make very sure everything is plugged in correctly, and into the correct headers). Everything you need is right there in the box, but make sure the radiator size is compatible with your case, and the bracket is compatible with your motherboard and processor. Prices for AIOs have gotten kind of crazy, but this is right in line with the rest of the market, so it's more of a market issue than this specific product's issue. Overall, I'm giving it 5 stars because it performs very well and is aesthetically very pleasing, and I view these as most important. The value isn't amazing, but again, that's just how the market is these days for computer parts in general. Docked some points for ease of use because you need to know what you're doing, but even if you don't watch a youtube guide and consult your motherboard manual. Double check everything and you should be okay. Just be sure to check your temps to determine if everything is functioning properly.
