This sucker runs as cold as as John Candy in Cool Runnings. Switching out the fans to RGB custom was a piece of cake and save me some money since I already owned the fans. The digital screen is obviously the big win. It was a piece of cake to install and it actually has a direct connect with Giphy so the amount of images is endless. Having temperature overlays on top of the GIFs is a win as well. Definitely worth the cost.

personally i really like it and for the price i think it’s a good fit. the screen isn’t too big or too small and it doesn’t take up overall a lot of space (i can still fit four sticks of ram if i wanted to!)

Not much to say besides the fact that this thing looks amazing!

Love the screen for running .gif files to keep custom case themed

Awesome and looks sexy in the computer and i would recommend it

Such a good product the screen is clean other than the gif gets stuck sometimes on the LCD screen it's good!

The NZXT Kraken Elite 360mm Liquid Cooler is an excellent choice for PC builders seeking both superior CPU cooling and a captivating aesthetic. Its powerful 7th Gen Asetek pump and three 120mm F Series Static Pressure fans ensure exceptional thermal performance, keeping high-end CPUs cool even under demanding loads. The standout feature is its vibrant 2.36" LCD display, offering crisp 640x640 resolution for customizable system stats, images, or GIFs, making your PC truly unique. Installation is generally straightforward, with pre-applied thermal paste and simplified cabling. While a premium product, its combination of top-tier cooling, striking visual customization, and solid build quality makes it a worthwhile investment for those aiming for a high-performance and visually impressive PC build.

This thing is bulky, so make sure it can fit in your case. I would probably recommend getting the 280mm as the cooling performance is the same in a smaller profile, but I got a better deal on the 360mm so I went for it. Works great on my Ryzen 9 7900X, keeps temps between 60-80 under intense loads and mid 50’s at idle. Always whisper quiet. LCD is awesome, the gifs are definitely the best part.

I’ve used a lot of AIO coolers, mostly 360mm size. This is hands down my favorite so far. Installation/Unboxing: Installation of this cooler is just like any other, you have to attach the fans to the radiator and the radiator to the case. All necessary cables and screws are included, but get your own thermal paste. Ensure the fans are connected and powered and the pump is connected to the correct ports on your motherboard and you’re good to go. Function: I have this paired with an AMD 9800x3D. My CPU NEVER gets above 50 degrees celsius. The LED screen over the CPU is a nice touch, and honestly it’s something I didn’t think I’d use or even enjoy as much as I do. You can have a stagnant picture, included key system temperature, and/or have GIFs displayed at any time. Software: it is a little annoying that this requires NZXTs software to utilize 100% of the functionality, but you should expect that. I would have preferred this to at least give you accurate readings without the software running. Value: it’s too much… competitors like Thermalright are offering comparable products for around $100, so I can’t state this is a worthwhile investment. But, this works, and I love it.

WAY better then i expected get the NZXT and move on, save yourself the massive headache. it has better cooling, fans, the screen is dope, and the mounting was way easier. i got two dead AIO's from corsair

I normally don’t review things but since I have a chance for $400 I might as well be give a honest review. If I could give the review a 4.5 I would. Quality is very nice, it cools my and 7950 x3d very well. The thermo paste that it comes with seems to work well with my non overclocked cpu. Temps are around 58c on 4k gaming 30% load. Fans are quite, radiator had little to no air in the system and best of all no leaks. Now my only issues is that I wish the display was compatible with other softwares.

This AIO is amazing. Works great with zero issues. The pump is relatively quiet although I did adjust it so its not running at max. Screen is just too cool as well. I top mounted it in my NV7 case and its keeping my 5800x3d cpu nice and chilly. 35C or less while idle and 55C to 65C or less while gaming (varies a bit by game) AAA titles at max 1440P settings. If its in your budget, its highly recommended.

After skipping out in my personal build on a cpu cooler due to a budget constraint I revisited a bigger CPU cooler and NZXT was my cooler of choice and it has provided amazing cooling while also being very quit!

Simple sleek design and has great cooling capabilities. Easy to set up and the screen resolution is clear.

Keeps my CPU at SUPER low temps! Easy to Install! Love the LED screen in the middle! Can Customize it in the NZXT HUB! Would recommend it to anyone! Would buy it again!

Easy to install and performs great. Currently using this on an i7-13700K and keeps CPU very cool. I swapped the NZXT fans for PCCooler 120mm halo fans I got on Amazon and they work like a dream. For anyone who needs to know this, you only need to plug in your fans into the fan headers on the breakout cable if you want to control fan curve and other features on NZXT cam. Otherwise, you can use any other controller or plug them right onto the motherboard headers to adjust in your BIOS.

I recently swapped out my old cooler for the NZXT Kraken Elite, and it’s been a solid upgrade across the board. First off, the build quality of this cooler is top-notch. The large 360mm radiator is sturdy, and the fans are surprisingly quiet, even under load. I’ve got a relatively powerful CPU, and despite pushing it hard with gaming and video rendering, the temperatures stay impressively low.

Very easy to install, fans are silent and smooth, and cools PC! A little expensive though

Keeps my overclocked Ryzen 9 5900x around 60C while gaming. The LCD display works very well and the software doesn’t need to be running for it to display the image when you start up. Note do not use the temperature display feature on the LCD, do a GIF/image. It will boost temps by 10 degrees for some reason.

Cools well. Easy installation. Amazing visal display.
