Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was debating on investing in a good AIO and im glad I did. this AIO is perfect for my set-up and integrates perfectly woth my fans that are from the same brand. I definitely recommend this if you already have NZXT fans and a customizable LCD screen!

This is beautiful the screen is bright and the ring is very nice keep the gpu cold aswell(ryzen9 7950x3d) runs at 78 max

Nice. You can change the image on the cooler screen to a gif or a still picture. Works well keeps the temperatures low.

Awesome airflow for any new build, and the color control within the NZXT app has been awesome. I love the control you have down to each individual light.

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.

Has bigger screen compared to the old one and looks better in my opinion.

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.

if you have a 90 series AMD gpu stay away until CAM gets updates otherwise its been a dream

The Kraken Elite RGB 360mm is one of the most feature-rich coolers available in 2024. Its combination of top-tier performance, advanced visuals, and ease of use make it ideal for enthusiasts building showcase rigs. However, its reliance on proprietary software and steep price may turn off more budget-conscious or minimalist users. The Pros are a Stunning 2.72" IPS LCD Display – High-resolution, customizable screen with 60 Hz refresh rate for system stats, GIFs, and more. Excellent Cooling Performance – Keeps even high-end CPUs like the i9-14900K cool under load. Quiet Operation – Runs with low noise, even at higher fan speeds (~30 dBA max). High-Quality Fans – Includes three F360 RGB Core fans (500–2400 RPM, ~75 CFM). Clean Cable Management – Single breakout cable simplifies installation and reduces clutter. Modern Socket Support – Compatible with Intel (115x/1200/1700/1851) and AMD (AM4/AM5). Strong Build Quality – Durable braided tubing and premium mounting hardware. The Cons to it is the high price – Typically costs $290–$315, placing it in the premium tier. CAM Software Dependency – Requires NZXT CAM for display/RGB control; some users report bugs and memory usage issues. Potential RGB or Pump Noise Issues – Isolated reports of flickering lights or noisy pump at lower speeds. Large Size – Requires a spacious mid-tower or full-tower case to fit comfortably.

Great customization and overall looks, amazing cooling for an overclocked i9 11900k. Easy install, loved having intell mounting in a seperate bag than the amd hardware. The cooling alone was able to get me another hz for my cpu compared to an msi 360mm and still have room for more cooling wise.

Really good performing AIO keeps my 9800x3d nice and cool with even temps and no issues! My only real issue with this cooler is the cord that plugs into the radiator, i like that there is no extra cords that have to go to the pump or anything like that but I feel like they should have put the plug in a spot that could be hidden better for cable management like on the side or on the bottom or something. The price is comparable to other high end nzxt AIOs, I purchased this to replace a z73 that I used without issues for 7 years so I will always stick with nzxt for the performance even if the price is on the higher end - I only replaced my other cooler just to match my new build being all white. Would definitely recommend!

This is more for if you have a little extra in the budget but Cooler works great keeps everything at great temps. Looks great for a white build. Best of all the CUSTOMIZATION ON THE DISPLAYYYY so good.

This is my first aio, always air cooled until I got rid of my old ryzen 5 2600 and gtx 1080 to do a new build. Install instructions did well enough, I’ve built a few PC’s, I’m by no means an expert but installation was easy for me. Its kept my previously running hot 11900k nowhere above 65 during extreme loads and lcd screen is a very unnecessary but stupidly cool feature. Barely fit in my nzxt h6 flow but it did perfect! If you dont card about the price and want the looks it does what it should.

This does a great job of keeping everything cool, and the screen is great for displaying temps. I don’t love the placement of the power and usb cord between the pump hoses on the aio, takes away from the build ascetic.

I like this cooler so much it is the second one I have bought. I have purchased this one and also the non RGB version for upgrading another system I built. It's incredibly quiet, making it perfect for gaming or just chilling out and streaming different media. Installation was very straight forward and easy to understand from the included instructions. It keeps my CPU low 30 degrees Celius idle with an AMD Ryzen 9 9950x. The built-in LCD screen is beautiful. It can display up to 3 different info readings at once. I have mine set to display CPU clock speeds, CPU temp and CPU load. Buying the 360 RGB version you also get the triple fan/single frame setup which looks great. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase and would 100% recommend this AOI for anyone who is looking to upgrade or just build a new PC.

Works absolutely flawless, and looks stunning. Haven't had a single issue since i bought it, and installation was a breeze with its single panel with 3 fans, and the new wiring compared to the older models makes wire management a breeze

Works perfectly fine, super easy installation and keeps the cpu very cold. The customization options are outstanding as well.

Keeps my system running cool with no issues whatsoever. Not too flashy but very good build quality.

Amazing cooling and being able to see the temperature and customize the background of the gauge. Amazing light especially paired with other NZXT RGB fans
