Upgraded from a NZXT Kraken Z63 280mm to a NZXT Kraken Elite 360 2024 - AIO CPU Liquid Cooler - 360mm keeps my temperature under 65 while running at high settings. Cool customization with GIFs and LCD lighting.

Absolutely fantastic, easy to install, software runs flawlessly, and the LCD screen looks fantastic.

Upgraded from the previous Kraken elite 360, honestly if you have the money. Or you’re in the market for a new AIO I highly recommend purchasing this. They made great upgrades in regards to quality of life compared to the previous model. The screen is much bigger and vibrant and of course the RGB ring around. It is just beautiful if you don’t like RGB, you can simply turn it off and not even notice it And my honest opinion this a IO is a 10 out of 10 for me plus the cam software is amazing

I love this cooler! It looks amazing and the AIO is customizable! You can change the colors or info displayed or you can put silly gifs or pictures if you want to! Keeps your CPU nice and cool as well! So far I haven’t seen my cpu go past 65 degrees Celsius while under load.

The LCD is large enough and can be customized through the NZXT software. The fans included in this box are not loud at max speed. My cpu (Ryzen 7 9800X3D) stayed cool, around 35degrees Celcius at idle. The LCD screen is large, so do keep that in mind while doing build with this.

Keeps my processor cool, easy set up will continue to use

Very good quality, everything well organized, a beautiful LCD, so far no problems with the LCD and the NZXT software, everything works wonderfully, the tubes are flexible, I like it

I knew open box purchases were risky business, but I had seen that Best Buy's "Open Box Excellent" status was for products that were unblemished and included all components. This was not the case. Most importantly, the wiring for the cooler was missing, it was completely inoperable. there was also a streak across the braided cable sleeve, which may have been just thermal paste, and there were impressions on the copper plate from a cpu. I do not know if all of the screws and such were included, I didn't get that far before realizing this was useless to me. Do not trust Best Buy to verify that everything that should be in an open box is there

Surprised how big was the AIO head. Tamed my i9-14900KS for less than 75C, couldn’t ask for more!

It’s premium liquid aio. Only downside is, it is really on pricey side.

There was a faulty break out cable. Once the Sata was connected and turned on, the ground fried and melted to my other cables. Be ware of faulty wiring. Others have experienced this issue. Buyer beware.

It’s one of the cleanest AIOs, but the pump/display is MASSIVE so be warned that it may not fit in all builds/cases. Love that the cables connect directly to the radiator for ease of management, tubes feel durable but were a little short for my specific build. The display is really clean and software is easy to use, expensive but worth it in my opinion. Kept my 7800x3d to about 65-70 degrees while gaming on high settings with multiple applications open

It's incredibly quiet, making it perfect for gaming or just chilling out and streaming different media. Installation was very straight forward and easy to understand from the included instructions. It keeps my CPU low 30 degrees Celius idle with an Intel 13900k. The built-in LCD screen is beautiful. It can display up to 3 different info readings at once. I have mine set to display CPU clock speeds, CPU temp and CPU load. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase and would 100% recommend this AOI for anyone who is looking to upgrade or just build a new PC.

I recently upgraded my pc and the Kraken Elite is the very nice looking and functional item, The LED ring that goes around the display is a nice touch and being able to see your temps right in your cooler is nice or a silly GIF if you choose to. NZXT has been my go to for coolers for a long time and this solidifies that statement

Works very good, screen is huge which is exaxtly what i wanted. I have a 14700k and it cools it fantastically

Incredibly looking AIO with beautiful display, keeps the cpu cool and ups the style of my rig. I’m only giving three stars tho because the pump is very audible at lower rpm’s, it makes a clicking noise but at higher rpm’s it ramps up and keeps it at a hum. I was just expecting a higher quality sounding pump at this price tag

A bit difficult to use on AM4 platform because the backplate falls down when attempting to tighten down the cooler. Required either being installed before putting the motherboard in the case or access to behind the case's backside to put on the motherboard backplate while it's in the case. Great temps on 5950x, keeps it in 40's at idle and in 60's under gaming load. Other than that it works great and thus the 4 stars instead of 5.

I love this product it works great and was fairly simple to install. You can display your own gifs/ customize your screen with ease. I was originally missing a few minor parts (I bought it open box) but Best Buy was super helpful in getting them to me the same day!

If you’re a heavy gamer and your setup supports the install then this part is a must. Definitely suggest a power supply with 800W and up. Make sure the rest of your build is capable of supporting this part before buying. I run a 3080 for reference and make 850W of power. Also make sure you install NZXT to fully customize and monitor your new CPU.

I should have listened to the other reviews. A few main points regarding this CPU cooler, ill start off with objectively true things regardless of opinion. 1. The tube sleeving is cheap, frays apart, and looks “baggy.” 2. The LED isn’t properly diffused so you can easily see the LEDs on the pump block. 3. If don’t have CAM running, the LCD screen is irrelevant 4. Very expensive. For being $315 after tax, this is very disappointing. On the flip side, if you are already running everything NZXT, and want good performance, this does well. Kept my 9800x3d at 67 degrees C at max load. If you want this for aesthetics or performance, you are better off looking at alternatives. Maybe NZXT can improve the general build quality of this in the future.
