Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

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

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

Super cool. Looks good in my all white build and keeps the cpu cool. Haven’t don’t much overclocking yet, but no temp issues so far. I upgraded from a previous kraken version and the hose connectors being on the bottom was an improvement from the ones I had before. The hose on the ones on the previous version I had were next to the ram spots and made me nervous to use all 4 channels for heat concerns. This version has met if not exceeded the expectations and is worth the money if you are willing to pay for the ascetics and want to keep your cpu cool. Also easy to install, and an improvement from the last kraken I had.

I bought this back in Augest because my other cpu cooler cable snapped. Well I always wanted a LCD CPU cooler so i could monitor my temps while and it didn’t disappoint in that aspect. While it was working it was great, kept my cpu very cooled, display temps, very quiet. But then it stopped working and now its a nightmare. I contacted NZXT about some tech support because I’ve tried everything that I read up on to troubleshoot it. They messaged me back after 7 days of waiting and told me to do something i already did and stated that I already did in the message, so I send over proof that I did it and then he send a message telling me to do the samething, mind you they message me ONCE A DAY right before they close for the night. So its been about 13 days since the first message and still havent figure out whats going on and no mention of a RMA process and i have been ghosted for about 4 days now. Very unprofessional tech Support from NZXT.

Everything about it feels premium and the performance is excellent. Keeps my 9800x3D very cool (average gaming temps at 63c). Rarely do I go above 70c while gaming. The display is also fantastic. Highly recommend

The color on the fan is not as bright as I thought, kind of doesnt matter since I have it mounted on top. The screen is absolutely gorgegous tho. I would buy again. Performs very well. Keeps my 9800x3d cool at 86c even underload, and 42c at idle.

Favorite AIO, love the new screen that allows images to take up all the space easy installation with the 1 bracket fan

Awesome! Gave it a 5 star for the performance! I almost rate it as a 4 star because of the cable that powers pump and Displays being on a weird place but it's a small inconvenience for the cooling and quiet operation.

Looks amazing, perfect love the colors, and the ring around the middle is cool, only thing is it makes a rattling noise

Worth the money as it keeps my cpu at low temp and very pleasing with the looks

I have had no problems keeping my intel i7 14700k cool when gaming or loads in general and very aesthetically pleasing no problem with controlling the aio at all and changing the rgb with ease.. 100% solid

Ease of install puts this at #1 for me! The LCD display is awesome for displaying current PC stats along with customization of a GIF or picture carousel
