    The NZXT Kraken Elite RGB 360mm is fantastic! It keeps my CPU extremely cool, even under heavy loads, and the fans operate almost silently. The LCD display adds a unique touch with customizable images and system statistics. The RGB lighting is bright and looks amazing in white, making my build really stand out. The setup was easy, and the performance has been flawless. If you're looking for a cooler that excels in both performance and aesthetics, this is the one!

    Simply a pleasure to look at and the standout feature is being upload your own gifs. I’m sure there’s other AIOs that can also do that, but personally, I think the Kraken excels the most at it. Cooling performance is also amazing. I currently have it cooling my 9800x3d and keeps gaming temps usually in the low 60s and sometimes in the upper 50s. It’s also quite easy to install. The Intel mounting bracket comes standard. I have an AMD CPU and switching the bracket was seamless. Only con about the cooler is its price point. There are far other more AIOs that will offer similar cooling performance for half the price. But sometimes, you just have to have the nicest looking one.

    I love this AIO. I have been using it for over a month now and it has kept my CPU very cool at all times. The screen on the cooler is really cool as well. The customization on the screen is endless and easy to use. I highly recommend this product. This is my first PC i've built and I was able to assemble the cooler easily and without any issues at all. NZXT knocked it out of the park with this.

    Overall the installation was very straight forward and the software is simple to use, however the temps are subpar. I believe this is due to the pre-applied thermal paste, I would recommend applying your own thermal paste to avoid issues with temps.

    Definitely worth it, this is my first liquid cooler and I love it, NZXT offers such an awesome software to customize anything you want. Just understand when you’re installing the cooler pay close attention because the usb2.0 wire needs to be plug into the motherboard not into a splitter or you can’t control the cooler in the hub
