    Fantastic Cooler!!

    This is a great cooler! It keeps my 12th gen i7 very cool while in use, it’s very quiet, and it looks great inside the computer as well! I also love the customizable LCD screen, and I’ve had a lot of fun messing around with it and customizing it. The only issue I had was mounting the radiator to my case, as the screws were a little too short when being fastened with the washers provided. That may have just been my case, but if you have trouble mounting it, just remove the washers, and it should stay in place just fine. If you’re willing to spend a little bit more money on an AIO cooler and want a little bit of extra customizability, this is definitely a great pick!

    looks awesome, works great, it is really expensive but the screen looks really high quality and just love nzxt aesthetics. only annoying this is that you need to be running their software cam for it to display any changes but the software is not as bad as everyone says

    Love the screen, only issue is that the NZXT software is finicky and doesn’t always display your gif to the AIO unless you reset it. Otherwise great, temps don’t go over 60C for CPU

    As the title says, it's an extremely efficient cooler. It keeps my 12700K ice cold, and looks really nice as it does so. My only complaint is that red, or colors near red, do look a bit washed out, but that can be easily fixed by color correcting your gifs.

    I purchased the same exact cooler on Amazon. However, everything worked but my computer wasn’t recognizing the LCD display so that means no GIFs :(. I thought inwas going crazy but come to find out the usb in the pump cable was shot. So I returned and purchased the same cooler from best buy and its working perfect. Extremely satisfied

    NZXT Elite Cooler!

    The Kraken Elite is great for adding custom images to your CPU cooler! I love changing the images based on whatever vibe I'm on. Right now it's a really cute cinnamoroll gif. What sets it apart from the 240mm is the bigger display; I think if you buy the 240mm, you lose out on better image quality. The 280mm is best for cooling if you've got a larger case (I have Lian Li O11 Dynamic Evo). If you're looking to upgrade from the 240mm, there's not much difference in installation. I highly recommend. It's even better if you wait for the sale since it's usually pretty expensive. Cheers!

    The display is amazing, love the rgb options, works great with cooling. I have a intel i9 12 core and can be playing for the whole day and it barely gets passed 40° which is just crazy good.

    Great cooling unit that shows certain temps! I personally bought the 360mm version but had to step down to the 280mm due to size. Very customizable with the program NZXT CAM. I have no regrets with this unit, only positives!

    Mechanically this cooler is solid and keeps temps low on my Ryzen 9 5900x. I would give a 5 star review however NZXT's CAM software is terrible. It has to remain open or the LCD won't update at all. But even with the software running it will occasionally just lose connection to the LCD and my screen will freeze. Nzxt, please fix your software!!
