NZXT Kraken 240 RGB - 240mm AIO CPU Liquid Cooler - Customizable 1.54"" Square LCD Display for Images, Performance Metrics - High-Performance Pump - 2 x F120 RGB Core Fans - White

I have been a fan of NZXT Kraken AIOs for years. This is my fifth "Kraken" build, and the AIO has been running 48 continous hours with no issues. I did replace the OEM fans with Noctua NF-A14s, so I can't evaluate the NZXT fans.Running in silent mode, it is maintaining an i7-9700K (not overclocked) at approximately 20 degrees (Farenheit) over ambient (102 / 83).In my experience, the 280mm Krakens with Noctua NF-A14 routinely out perform most 360mm AIO. If it will fit, IMHO you can't go wrong with one of these.

Way better than the original liquid cooler that came with the machine. Seeing 60-70C gaming with the fan a notch or two above idle while gaming. Previous one sounded like a jet with the fans maxed and the CPU throttling itself to prevent over heating during gaming. The difference between the two is amazing.

I bought this for use on my first gaming pc build and I’ve had no issues with it at all. It keeps my pc running cool and it looks pretty awesome doing it. The software is pretty easy to use and you can make all kinds of color combinations as well as add photos to the screen, I would definitely recommend this and I would buy again if I had to.

This is a great CPU cooler. It keeps my CPU much cooler than the air cooler I had before. It also fits in my mini-itx case, which is a huge win. The set up was pretty simple and the paper instructions ensured that I didn't make any mistakes. However, the fan connectors do not work on my system, after researching, I found to be a common problem. What I mean is that there is a cable that can fit three fans included in this AIO, but with the two fans included, when plugged into my sys_fan plug on my GIGABYTE Z590I AORUS motherboard, the connector cable does not power the fans enough. The fix to this was to not use this cable and instead plug in the fans separately. This works, but I had to buy a separate fan splitter for my other fans. A little annoying, but not the end of the world.

I am very pleased with this purchase so far. NZXT is the only reason I'm trying an AIO cooler. I'm an air cooler person. This is very well thought out and eye catching. They did a good job designing it and should keep this design going for many years.

Bought it for my nether regions... keeps cpu cool from the loins while gaming like a super Chad. Fins pretty sharp on the boys.

+ Great cooling, Nice rgb and looks.- Size is changing for most cases.

Perfectly adequate temperatures on a 9900X3D. It's $100 less than the Elite line of Kraken AIOs, so I can forgive a lesser display in the pump assembly, but it's a shame it's so much smaller. Makes gifs look a bit wonky.It doesn't detect the temperature of my RX 9070 XT for whatever reason, so if you want to use the dual infographic for cpu/gpu temperatures in CAM, you might run into compatibility issues.The fans on this AIO being a full unit, not 3 separate fans, does help with ease of installation but it does feel a bit anti-consumer. You can't simply reuse those would-be 3 fans elsewhere if desired, like when the AIO dies. I wouldn't buy the product again simply because of that. Reduced the stars down to 4 because of this, it really did irk me.
