Customer Ratings & Reviews

Failed after 6 months. This has been a pattern for me with AIOs. I'll just stick with a hyper 212 from now on, or another air cooler. Similar performance for not even half the price.

The liquid pump stopped working after about 6 months.

Coolant pump stopped working after 2 months. No warning.

Best buy makes it extremely hard to mail return items back, making you pring your own label to send out instead of letting you send it via email. So good luck getting a return

Just bought, hooked up, and turned on. Wires got hot, smoked, and melted plastic sheathing. Luckily i think i turned it off quickly enough before any damage happened to the mobo.

missing parts. bought new and doesnt cool as thought. It is as good as an air cooled.

Connector Pin broke upon plugging it in. The build quality also feels cheap and lackluster.

I use this for my i9 cpu. My cpu is overheating. I am returning both this cooler and my case made by same company

I had to RMA the original one I bought, Firmware Up Date issue so that cost 1 star. The RMA process was easy and fast so there's that. My Ryzen 7 5700 idles at 31C the highest I've seen it under load is 59C. Easy to install, easy software setup, Quiet, fits my Corsair 5000D with ease.

The 280mm Kraken AIO CPU Cooler works amazingly well keeping your CPU temperatures low and monitors other sensory inputs like coolant temperatures and GPU temperatures, if on-screen overlays aren't your thing. Once you download NZXTs "CAM software", you'll have all your system specifications available at a glance and customize your 240p × 240p 30hz LCD screen to monitor your equipment and add custom images to polish off your build. The only downside is the LCD screen is smaller than the other 280mm Kraken (640p × 640p 60hz) and reflective. However, if you're a minimalist that favors performance and functionality, this is a perfect addition for your PC

whisper quiet, my computer has never performed better

Easy to install, did what I needed it to do. In stock and ready to go.

cpu temps were skyrocketing and crashing the pc at 110+. now much cooler at 35-40

Keeps CPU temps rock solid, runs quiet and looks good.

I did not know before but the cooler actually comes with thermal paste pre placed on the copper and it has a good distribution on the CPU when placed.

Great, fast and easy setup, well put together product.

Good cooler. Works very well. The LCD screen on the pump is nice too.

I love how it display my cpu and gpu temperatures.

Great cooler for the price, fans are a little noisy when they ramp up and the instructions were a little hard to follow but overall great buy

Its constantly throttling on basic functions which is annoying, replaced thermal paste because it wasn't keeping my I7 cool enough, worked better with new thermal. CAM software is crap and constantly fails, display loses settings from software often and no real support for firmware issues. Does not play well with corsair fans, getting worse performance than with my corsair. I've given the cooler 8 months and I have to say its just not worth it. Not sure where all the good reviews come from.
