NZXT Kraken Elite 240 RGB AIO

The NZXT Kraken Elite 240 is a 240 mm all-in-one liquid cooler with a 2.72-inch IPS LCD on the pump block. It fits Intel LGA 1851, 1700 and 1200/115X sockets plus AMD AM5 and AM4 platforms. Two 120 mm fluid-dynamic-bearing fans and a reinforced braided-tube radiator complete the loop.

Suits builders who want a customisable display

The 640 x 640, 60 Hz screen shows GIFs, system data or web content while the ARGB ring syncs with other lighting. The single 8-pin connector handles both PWM and RGB control. Buyers who need a larger radiator surface or a different block form factor should look at something else.

2.72-inch 640 x 640 IPS LCD at 60 Hz

The pump-top display is the specification that decides fit: it demands a clear line of sight inside the case and a motherboard header that can feed the 8-pin PWM-and-RGB cable. If the chassis window or cable routing cannot accommodate the screen, the cooler will not work as intended.

Questions about this item

Does the NZXT Kraken Elite 240 need a motherboard with a USB 2.0 header for the 2.72-inch IPS LCD and ARGB lighting?

Yes, the LCD screen and ARGB ring require a USB 2.0 header on the motherboard for control through NZXT CAM software, plus a 5 V ARGB header or the included controller for the RGB Core fans.

Will the included brackets fit an older Intel LGA 1200 board alongside the newer LGA 1700 and 1851 sockets?

The package supplies mounting hardware for Intel LGA 1851, 1700 and 1200/115X, so the cooler can be moved between those platforms without extra parts.

How can I confirm the Turbine pump is running at the correct speed after installation?

In NZXT CAM the pump RPM readout should sit near 2,400 RPM; the LCD can also be set to display live pump speed so you can verify it at a glance.
