    This cooler is a show-stopper—fantastic temps, whisper-quiet fans, and that bright LCD makes my build look next-level. Zero hassle to set up, and the customizable screen makes it look super clean.

    The NZXT Kraken Elite RGB 360mm Liquid Cooler is a beast! I’m running an RTX 4090 and an Intel i9 14900K, and this cooler keeps everything running super cool, even during intense gaming sessions. The RGB lighting adds a nice touch to my build, and the 2.36" LCD display is just the cherry on top—it’s customizable and shows me all the critical stats at a glance. The fans are quiet, and the installation was pretty straightforward. If you’re looking to keep your high-end rig cool and want something that looks as good as it performs, this is the cooler to get. Five stars all the way!

    This AIO keeps my CPU cool and looks really good doing it. I love being able to modify the background on the LCD screen and the info that it gives me as I'm gaming.

    Good AIO solution and relatively easy to set up. My only qualms with this is the pricing, NZXT software and all the dangling wiry mess as the fans have individual connectors that go into a hub. Be prepared to deal with the not-so-perfect NZXT CAM software to control the lights and display which you can't sometimes control due to software bugs. I would recommend going for the non-elite version instead as this is ridiculously expensive and the only reason is the nice 'screen' which isn't going to be that big of a difference anyways.

    Excellent AIO. I replaced my old X63 280mm with this. Performance is about the same. It is able to keep my 5900x CPU under control. Customization is very nice. The screen is bright and clear. Fans LED are bright and good. Pump noise is relatively quite and much better than Corsiar's H150i. I'd recommend this easily.

    The NZXT Kraken Elite RGB 360mm Radiator CPU Liquid Cooler is an absolute beast when it comes to both cooling performance and aesthetics. If I could, I would give it a solid 10 stars. This cooler keeps my CPU running at optimal temperatures even under heavy loads, thanks to the 360mm radiator and powerful fans. The RGB lighting is vibrant and customizable, adding a sleek and modern touch to any build. The installation process is straightforward, and the build quality is excellent, with durable materials that ensure long-lasting performance. If you're looking for a high-performance cooler with a touch of RGB flair, this one’s a winner!

    Used this to replace a failing AIO water cooler (Stock one from iBuyPower). Does its job really well, and there's a ton of installation support via the book included or Youtube videos. Keeps temps on my processor between 40-50c. Does its job really well.

    It LOOKS and preforms perfectly. The temps under gaming load is 55c and small desktop use is 40c with a 13700K, mind you a HEAT GENERATING BEAST was slain by nzxt 360mm aio. It’s white and has cool rgb and a display so I think this is the perfect water cooling solution

    For an open box item I was on edge but it came with everything. I think it was a display item since it looked brand new.

    The only "negative" thing I have to say about this cooler is that installing this into my PC took the longest, that is it. My CPU remains cool during long sessions, not to mention this thing looks sweet with the display which you can customize. Highly recommended, just make sure your case can fit it.
