Coming from a Noctua NHD15s, thought an aio was gonna be a bit more complicated install, but it was pretty easy. Looks great, just wish they had the white one in stock at my store. NZXT CAM (the controlling software) is also pretty easy to use, wish I could use larger gif files on the screen. Also wish the included fans were better.

This is the 8th build ive done and all have had AIO except one with a custom loop i did. Ive used NZXT AIOs for 6 out the the 7 AIO builds and this is their best one yet. Great pump and decent fans. I do wish the software was a little better as ive always noticed that was their achiles heel. I do recommend swapping most aio fans to your desired choice for the build. It is on the more expensive side, i wish you could order the aio without fans to lower cost and waste.

Oh man do I love this cpu cooler! It’s top of the line, and you can customize!? Wow product and after months of nonstop gaming and work use, not a single issue. 10/10 would buy anything from this brand again simply because I’m so happy with this first product I’ve owned by NZXT.

Honestly this is the coolest part of my PC build. Everyone who has seen my PC asks about this AIO and says they want to buy one. Not only does it work in keeping thermals down, it also adds a nice customization element to your build. I swapped the fans to match my other NZXT fans in my build.

NZXT kraken elite turned out to be better than expected. Had a cheaper aio in my ibuypower pc and fans radiator fans loud. Bought the kraken elite and runs around 10 degrees cooler then previous also the fans are quiet which was the biggest concern. The customization on the pump screen was a great bonus make my pc look much cooler than the previous which just had the ibuypower logo. Oh and I over tightened the mount and broke it. I contacted nzxt and told them it was my fault and what happened they sent a replacement quickly with no charge even thought I said I would pay for it.

Works great, LCD is bright and is pretty dope can put anything you want just make sure it’s a gif or photo,
keeps temps below 50c (cpu)
on any game that I have tested including
Jedi survivor
COD MW 2
Forza horizon 5
One issue is setting it up nzxt cam does some weird bs and doesn’t recognize devices when first plugging it in but it’s a easy fix, I have a had this cooler for about a year I would say and I have had no issues in terms of electrical or physical

I got this AIO as part of my first time upgrade of a CP prebuilt I got from BestBuy. I went to a 12 core AMD CPU and this AIO handles the cooling like a champ. The VERY customizable LCD screen and lack of RGB makes this prime for high performance/modest aesthetics upgrade for medium to small cases.
