NZXT Kraken Elite 360 RGB AIO Cooler Review

Peter Donnell / 6 months ago

NZXT is one of the biggest and best in the business, with many fantastic looking and performing products that are a huge hit with PC gamers around the world! I’ve already reviewed their rather fantastic Kraken 360 RGB White AIO Cooler a few months back. However, today we have the more premium Elite 360 RGB AIO Cooler. The differences aren’t huge on this one, it is largely the same cooler, but it features the much more premium pump design, which features a 2.36″ 640×640 resolution wide-angle LCD display with a 60 Hz refresh rate.

NZXT Kraken Elite

While the new cooler is much like the old cooler, it is more expensive, largely to cover the cost of the new pump LCD display. Do you really need that display? Of course not, it’s purely aesthetic, but keep it in mind that this is more “it’s nice to have nice things” type of upgrade, and if aesthetics are your thing, this will certainly appeal, but if you want basically the same cooler without the added cost, the lower down models will likely be more appealing to you and your budget.
