Nzxt Kraken Core 360mm RGB CPU Liquid Cooler

The NZXT Kraken Core 360mm RGB AIO Liquid Cooler (SKU: RL-KR36C-B1) is a triple-fan all-in-one liquid cooling solution engineered for builders who want reliable thermal performance, clean cable management, and vibrant ARGB aesthetics in a single, easy-to-install package. At the heart of the cooler sits a high-performance pump rated at 3,100 RPM. This sustained pump speed helps maintain consistently low CPU temperatures during extended gaming sessions, creative workloads, and processor-intensive multitasking — all while keeping audible noise to a minimum. Three 120 mm high-static-pressure fans are mounted in a single-frame design, which reduces the total number of screws and cables compared with individually mounted fans. This unified frame makes radiator installation more straightforward, keeps the interior of your chassis tidier, and contributes to a more professional-looking build. The optimised blade geometry on each fan channels airflow efficiently through the radiator fins, improving heat dissipation without demanding higher fan speeds. All three fans support PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation) control through your motherboard headers. This means fan curves can be tuned directly in your motherboard’s BIOS or fan-control utility — no proprietary hub or separate controller is required. The pump head and fans connect directly to standard motherboard headers, simplifying wiring considerably. RGB lighting is delivered via a 5V ARGB header on the motherboard, covering both the pump head and the fan frames. Because it uses a standard ARGB connection, lighting can be synchronised with other ARGB components through your motherboard’s native RGB software without additional software dependencies. Installation is tool-free where possible: the mounting bracket system supports AMD AM5 and AM4 sockets as well as Intel LGA 1851, LGA 1700, and LGA 1200 sockets out of the box. Pre-applied thermal paste on the pump cold plate removes one more step from the build process, and the flexible tubing routing accommodates a range of chassis layouts.
