Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had an AMD RYZEN 9 5900x and my old fan wasn’t cutting it, I was getting 90C every game I bought this and boom averaging around 50C while running multiple programs and video games, and the little screen is amazing getting to have a gif inside my case is awesome. Well worth the money

So overall great product very easy to install setup and get rolling my only complaint is best buy mislabeling the item because the black 240mm kraken elite black does not come with rgb so best buy has the wrong label on this product the black has no rgb so be aware of that when buying

Easy to install and live how I can customize the image, very good quality.

Originally Bought this because I thought my other AIO coolers pump was going bad (actually wasn’t) turns out my cpu was at its max over clock ability just sitting on the desktop. Installing the cooler was very simple and including pre applied thermal paste. The small display is amazing and i currently use it to display my CPU and GPU Temps. It is extremely clear and has a lot of options to play around with on NZXTCam.

The pump has a great high resolution LCD screen which is way better than the outgoing model. Be very careful with the pump size which is a lot bigger and it may not fit your case if you have a SFF case like the FormD t1. I had to return mine as it did not fit my case and went with the older model.

I recently purchase this to combine it with my newly purchase Ryzen 9 CPU and I couldn’t be happier! It keeps my CPU heat cool and it’s quiet! I’ve had no issues plus I love the design of the cooler! This was the perfect choice for me!

First time using this brand of cooler. Seems well built. Like having the display on the CPU Cooler. Measures liquid temp or cpu temp. and is easy to see. Mounted easy in case I am using and keeps things cool.

smaller than previous versions and better quality. It fits in our small computer case and is cooling down perfectly.

Bought this for an AMD 9800x3D. The instructions were so vague I started watching YouTube videos for guidance. First time under load, hit 98 degrees Celsius. Reseated and same results. The AMD bracket is poorly made and doesn't fit well. I flipped it 180 degrees and lower temps to 90 degrees under load. The liquid doesn't go above 30 degrees under load so heat is not transferring. Using a kryosheet and noticed the NZXT pre applied grey thermal paste is now white. Was there plastic? Well the instructions have no information. Reddit will tell you antidotal information, which is more than NZXT provides. One instructions for all Elite products for Intel and AMD. NZXT will not provide support if you buy through BestBuy. Have to buy direct.

Love the LCD display. Temps are good on my 12600k and I like that you can customize the display.

Very happy with this purchase. The fans and pump are quiet and NZXT's software allows me to adjust the pump and fans for performance if necessary. The LCD display is outstanding and really makes my PC build look amazing. Installation was somewhat difficult if you have not had experience before. Just make sure you plug in all the necessary cables, apply thermal paste, and screw in the fans before installing the radiator.

My old PC cooler wasn’t doing the job and always left my PC heating up to high temperatures. Switching them out was probably the best decision i’ve made because my PC hasn’t peaked in heat since applying this.

It works great and worth the price. Easy to install and fits perfectly into any mid size case.

Very good cooler. It keeps temps low in a high airflow chassis. It also does not make much noise.

Great for how it is … cools my ryzen 7 nicely however its software cam tries to ask for premission to run again during a windows update… also falsely detects gpu temps. Note there is one issue that has me worried with the cam software that sometimes it forcibily runs during a windows update which can cause data curroption then to a blue screen of death, i already made told nzxt customer service of this but they still haven’t fixed it … hopefully they fix this soon note affects windows 10 and 11.

Very quick and easy! Got one on sale! This cpu cooler is awesome and so was the interaction with customer service!

Great Aio cooler cools my Ryzen 3600x to 36c and never over 60c.

I am not super computer savvy, but this is simple to hook up. The app that comes along with it keeps me informed of my computers performance. The only thing is I would remind you to pick up thermal paste.

It’s pretty good and CAM is cool. I do wish NZXT used the 8th gen asetek pumps with this though.

NZXT Kraken Elite 280mm is the next AIO you can get in my opinion. 2 - 140mm fans on the Radiator keeps my 13th Generation i7 13700k cool at 38°C playing CoD MW3 for over 5hrs.I rarely seen my CPU get over 40°C.
