NZXT Kraken Elite RGB 240 & 360mm AIO Cooler Review

NZXT is one of the biggest names in enthusiast PC hardware, offering an incredible range of PC cases, coolers, gaming chairs, speakers, monitors, and so much more. They’ve firmly established themselves as a go-to brand for PC enthusiasts seeking a blend of performance and aesthetics. Their impressive and ever-expanding ecosystem allows gamers to curate a truly unified gaming experience. This commitment to a consistent brand identity ensures that building an all-NZXT rig and gaming setup can take your aesthetics and performance to the next level.
NZXT
Their AIO coolers are some of the best on the market, and with the Kraken Elite 240mm AIO and the larger 360mm version, they offer premium cooling solutions that don’t compromise on visual flair or performance. Admittedly, some of them can be pretty expensive, but NZXT does make the same coolers without displays on the pump that are more affordable. However, for the enthusiast market, their displays offer some enticing customisation options to take your build to the next level.

IPS LCD Display
Available in both black and white to seamlessly integrate into your build of choice, its standout feature is the vibrant 2.72″ IPS LCD screen. This crisp display, boasting a 640×640 resolution at a fluid 60Hz refresh rate, opens up exciting possibilities for personalisation, allowing users to showcase animated GIFS and videos, monitor vital system statistics in real-time (all managed through NZXT’s CAM software), or just make their system look cooler.
Cooling
Of course, at its core, the Kraken Elite 240mm is engineered for top-tier cooling performance. Featuring their latest generation NZXT Turbine pump design, paired with a 240mm radiator and the innovative RGB Core single-frame fan, it promises to keep even demanding CPUs running cool and quiet, all while adding a touch of dynamic RGB lighting to your system.
