240 mm AIO with 2.36" LCD

The NZXT Kraken Elite RGB 240 is an all-in-one liquid cooler built around a 240 mm aluminium radiator and two 120 mm F120RGB Core fans. A copper cold plate transfers heat to a seventh-generation Asetek pump rated for 2800 RPM. The 2.36-inch wide-angle LCD panel runs at 640x640 resolution and supports custom images, animated GIFs and audio visualisers through NZXT CAM software.

LGA 1700 and AM5 socket support

The cooler mounts on Intel LGA 1700, 1200 and 115X platforms as well as AMD AM5 and AM4 sockets. Threadripper sTRX4 and TR4 are listed but require a separate bracket that is not included. The radiator measures 123 by 275 by 30 mm and each fan is 120 by 120 by 26 mm, so verify that your case can accommodate those dimensions and the two 4-pin PWM fan headers.

Single breakout cable simplifies wiring

Installation uses a single breakout cable that connects the pump, fans and LCD to the motherboard and a USB 2.0 header for software control. CAM software lets you set pump and fan curves, including a 0 RPM mode at low temperatures. Ensure your board has an available USB 2.0 header and enough clearance for the 81.9 mm diameter, 59.5 mm tall pump block before ordering.
