NZXT Kraken Elite RGB 360mm CPU Liquid Cooler (with LCD Display) (White)

The NZXT Kraken Elite RGB 360mm CPU Liquid Cooler (White, SKU: RL-KR36E-W1) combines high-performance all-in-one liquid cooling with an integrated interactive display, making it a standout choice for enthusiast PC builders who want both thermal efficiency and visual customisation in a single package. At the centre of the pump head sits a 2.36-inch (60 mm diameter) TFT-LCD wide-angle display capable of rendering 24-bit true colour at 640×640 pixel resolution with a 60 Hz refresh rate and a brightness of 690 cd/m². Through NZXT CAM software, users can show custom static images, animated GIFs, real-time system performance metrics, currently playing music information, and other dynamic content. Display orientation is software-adjustable in four positions: default, +90°, +180°, and −90°, so the head can be mounted in virtually any radiator position while keeping the screen readable. Cooling is driven by an Asetek-powered pump with a motor speed range of 800–2,800 RPM (±300 RPM), circulating coolant through a 121 × 394 × 27 mm aluminium radiator via 400 mm nylon-braided ultra-low-evaporation rubber tubes. The braided sleeve construction adds durability and helps guard against coolant loss over time. The copper water block (74.7 mm diameter, 55.97 mm height) with plastic housing ensures efficient heat transfer from the CPU, and the unit ships with pre-applied NZXT high-performance thermal paste for a hassle-free first installation. Three NZXT F120 RGB Core fans (120 × 120 × 26 mm each) are included, spinning between 500 and 1,800 RPM (±180 RPM) via 4-pin PWM connectors. Each fan delivers up to 78.86 CFM airflow at 2.57 mm H₂O static pressure, with a rated noise level of 33.88 dBA. Fluid dynamic bearings extend rated fan life to 60,000 hours (approximately 6 years). RGB lighting is managed by an included RGB controller (63.2 × 53.2 × 12.8 mm, 52.8 g) that mounts via magnet or 3M Dual Lock adhesive. It provides three independent lighting channels, each supporting up to 40 LEDs, for a combined maximum of 120 LEDs across all channels, powered via SATA and connected to the motherboard through a USB 2.0 internal header. A single breakout cable from pump to motherboard simplifies the build process significantly. Compatibility covers Intel LGA 1700 and LGA 1200/115X sockets (Core i9/i7/i5/i3, Pentium, Celeron) and AMD AM5, AM4, sTRX4, and TR4 sockets (Ryzen 9/7/5/3, Threadripper — note: Threadripper bracket not included). The cap and housing use aluminium and plastic construction.
