    I bought the NZXT Kraken Elite because I wanted a high-performance liquid cooler that doesn’t just keep my CPU temps low but also looks amazing while doing it. The 2.72" 60FPS display was a big selling point, being able to monitor temps or display custom images/gifs right on the pump is next-level cool.

    One of the best liquid CPU coolers I’ve ever bought NZXT always has quality products. I would definitely would recommend buying this product if you’re going with AM5 as they operate in a lot higher temperature has quality custom software you can download to put your fans where you think they should be also a preset option options

    This liquid cooler has an amazing quality, it’s extremely quiet and well worth the money spent. I think it’s one of the most if not the best liquid cooler for an aesthetically pleasing setup, but it also keep your CPU from blowing up.

    Premium aio here able to OC 9800x3d to 5400ghz and keep a cool 60-63 degrees when gaming and under heavy load. The large IPS display is amazing. Swapped out the fans for nzxt 120 rgb duo in the nzxt elite H9 and fits perfect and performs well…quite expensive but worth every penny.

    Unfortunately there was some faulty wiring in the one i got and it was a disaster! And I'm not the only one. I decided to replace an old AIO in my wife's pc due to low fluid. The plugs are fairly simple: a cpu fan plug, usb 2.0 and sata power connector are all wired into a breakout cable that plugs directly into the radiator. I had everything plugged in snuggly and all my wires connected properly to known working ports, to my horror as powered on the computer it immediately began to billow white smoke. I flipped the power switch and quickly opened the case to find the breakout cable had melted and charred making a mess out of my wifes beautiful white case. My whole house smelled like burning plastic at 3 in the morning.. nice.. I'm so glad i installed it right after purchasing and it was still in the return window. I was excited for the screen and clean look but after digging around online i found several other unfortunate victims of this poorly made aio Pc specs for reference 1000w evga platinum psu Strix b550 mobo with 5800x Cooler master h500 case All genuine known working parts. So thankful that i could just bring it into best buy and get a refund without any hassle. I don't imagine this is super common but definitely be aware.

    I bought this to add to my 1st build. It looks great, easy connections with plenty of cable length. What it doesnt do is cool a Ryzen 7 5800XT. Without any programs or games running my CPU temp is around 120’ F. Seems high, ill probably go back to the first AIO NZXT offered because of it. It worked much better than this more expensive ELITE RGB model.

    Cool screen but terrible quality

    The quality of the new NZXT Kraken Elite 2024 AIO is extremely disappointing. My first unit had constant flickering and flashing issues with the new 'Ring Light.' After contacting NZXT customer support, they confirmed it was defective and advised me to return it—so I did. Unfortunately, the replacement unit has similar issues. The flickering persists, and on top of that, the pump is extremely loud. At anything below 80% pump speed, the noise is unbearable, and the only way to achieve a tolerable sound level is by running it at 100%, which was never an issue with previous Kraken models. Additionally, the braided cables look cheap and poorly designed. The kinks and uneven sections in the hoses give the impression of subpar build quality. At this point, I’ll likely return this second unit as well. NZXT seriously needs to address these quality control issues before releasing more products.
