Liquid cooler with 2.36 inch LCD

The NZXT Kraken Elite 360 RL-KN36E-B1 is an all-in-one liquid cooler built around a 360 millimetre radiator and three 120 millimetre F120P static-pressure fans. A copper cold plate mounts on Intel LGA 1851, 1700, 1200 and 115X sockets as well as AMD AM5, AM4, sTRX4 and TR4 platforms. The pump runs up to 2800 RPM and connects through a single breakout cable for simple installation.

Builders who want live system data on the block

Enthusiasts who want a 640 by 640 pixel LCD that shows custom images, animated GIFs or real-time metrics from NZXT CAM software will appreciate the bright 2.36 inch display. The cooler suits high-heat CPUs that benefit from a triple-fan radiator and fluid-dynamic-bearing fans rated from 17.9 to 30.6 dBA. Buyers who need a Threadripper mounting bracket must source it separately. Systems with limited top or front clearance for a 394 millimetre long radiator should look at smaller units.

Check socket, radiator space and fan headers

Verify that the motherboard socket matches the supported Intel or AMD platforms listed above. Confirm the case can fit a radiator measuring 121 by 394 by 27 millimetres plus three 26 millimetre thick fans. Ensure a 4-pin PWM header is available for the fan bundle and a USB 2.0 header for CAM control. The pump block measures 81.9 millimetres in diameter and 59.5 millimetres tall, so check surrounding component clearance.

Questions about this item

Which CPU sockets does the Kraken Elite 360 block support without extra parts?

The block mounts directly to Intel LGA 1700, 1200 and 115X plus AMD AM5 and AM4; Threadripper sTRX4 and TR4 need a separate bracket.

Will the three 120 mm F120P fans fit a standard 360 mm radiator layout in my case?

Yes, the 394 mm long radiator uses three 120 mm slots and the fans run at 500 to 1,800 RPM with 17.9 to 30.6 dBA noise.

How can I confirm the pump is running at its rated speed after installation?

NZXT CAM software shows live pump RPM up to 2,800 and lets you set custom curves or enable 0 RPM fan mode at low temps.
