Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works great on a Ryzen 7 9700x. However within a month it started making a very loud whine noise at certain RPMs. I contacted NZXT's customer service and they agreed to replace it.

Nzxt is a credible company and this product doesn’t fall short of that the kraken is beautiful and straightforward to install my build doesn’t do it enough justice if you have an issue like me with the sideways display you can angle it in their software

So amazing AIO. I’ve been using it for almost 1 year without issues.

It's good. Expected a bit more cooling capacity but it's still pretty dang good

I recently upgraded to the NZXT Kraken 240mm AIO cooler, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Right out of the box, the build quality felt premium, and installation was smooth and straightforward, thanks to clear instructions. Performance-wise, this cooler is excellent. It keeps my CPU temperatures well under control, even during heavy gaming and multitasking sessions. I’m running a Ryzen 7 processor, and temps rarely go above 65°C, even under load. What really impressed me is how quiet it runs — I barely notice it's there, even when the fans ramp up a bit during intensive tasks. The 1.54" LCD display is a nice touch. I’ve got mine set to show CPU temps, but it’s cool that you can customize it with GIFs or images too. It adds a clean, modern aesthetic to my build, especially if you have a windowed case. Overall, this is a fantastic cooler that combines performance, silence, and style. If you’re looking for a high-quality liquid cooling solution with a bit of personality, the Kraken 240 is a great choice.

Cable from power supply to motherboard melted immediately and almost caught fire.

Easy install for even a dummy like me. Came with everything needed, both for my AM4 setup, but also for the future when I upgrade to AM5 of threadripper. The light up feature is cool, and it's keeping my cpu and case chilly. Be careful if you have an oversized gpu, might have difficulty fitting in your case. Hardest part of the installation was getting my 7900gre back in

Overall, this is one of the best coolers that you can get. I like this brand way over corsair and I’m shocked. Best Buy sells a bunch of Corsair stuff because in my experience over the last 1015 years course air is just trash a lot of breakdowns but with this NZXT I do have to be fair. I ordered one from Amazon and it was defective out of the box so be sure that if you’re having issues to uninstall and reinstall the NZXT software and be sure when you plug this unit in do not plug it into the ARO header plug it into the CPU fan header that way the pump is constantly running, especially with the newer processors that are coming out as they run really hot.

excellent cooling performance in a sleek, modern design. Its quiet operation and efficient thermal management make it ideal for gaming and productivity builds. The RGB lighting and intuitive CAM software add customization and ease of control, while the sturdy build quality ensures durability. Overall, it’s a great balance of performance, aesthetics, and value for mid- to high-end PC setups.

Easy to install and looks nice, wish the images filled up the screen fully but despite that its a good cooler for my cpu

Nice and quiet and keeps the cpu nice and cool (around 50-60 C on Black Ops 6). Relatively easy to install and has great software.

Simple installation, fun customizability with the LCD display, and the performance is there.

Solid AIO and easy install. Really like the look and quality of this product. Also, from my experience, I’m happy with the NZXT software that pairs with it to control the display and cooling.

Love the simplicity of this AIO. Easy to install and is silent and performs great.

I am an IT guy for many years and the NZXT CPU water cooler works like a champ and always quiet. Easy to install and works great. My has been great for weeks and I stream on Twitch a lot. Awesome product!

My last cpu cooler wasn’t cutting it when looking to properly cool my cpu. It was loud and my chip was running hotter than id like. I have an I7 intel card and this beauty was just what I needed. The install after taking out my old one wasn’t too bad. It came with thermal paste pre applied. I can barely hear it and it runs nice and cold now. I love the customization you can do with the screen on the radiator. All and all a solid piece of equipment for your rig and not too pricey.

Really a great AIO easy install for AM5, nzxt cam software also easy to use and recommended to get for this aio. Keeps track of temps and you can put pictures and gifs. I will say for the ease of simplicity if you get this nzxt AIO and plan to use RGB get a nzxt fan controller and nzxt based rgb fans. I say this because you can just use the one software app instead of getting a bunch of different.

This was my 1st liquid cooler and I am happy to report it was easy install and keeps my cpu cool.Also with the LCD display I can put gifs on it

I recently purchased a PC air cooler and I must say, it has been a game-changer for my gaming setup. The cooling performance it provides is simply outstanding, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. First and foremost, this air cooler effectively keeps my PC's temperatures in check even during intense gaming sessions. The cooling capacity is incredible, and I have noticed a significant drop in CPU and GPU temperatures. This has had a direct impact on the overall performance and stability of my system. I no longer have to worry about overheating issues when pushing my hardware to the limit. One of the standout features of this air cooler is its silent operation. I was pleasantly surprised by how quiet it is, even when the fans are running at high speeds. This is a huge advantage, especially for those who are looking for a peaceful and distraction-free gaming experience. Gone are the days of annoying fan noises ruining the immersion.

Keeps my 5700x3d at below 65C without being audible at all in a Lian Li 011 Air Mini case. Generally keeps the CPU at between 43-57 for gaming depending on the game. Sadly mine had the pump cable clip break off and fall into the shroud housing for the LED screen and ever since its been making an odd buzzing noise... so need to replace it I think.
