Kraken Elite RGB 240mm cooler

The NZXT Kraken Elite RGB 240mm is an all-in-one liquid cooler built for modern Intel and AMD desktop sockets. It fits LGA 1851, 1700 and 1200/115X as well as AM5 and AM4 platforms. A Threadripper bracket is not included. The white finish and addressable RGB lighting suit showcase builds that want visible cooling hardware.

Sustained load behaviour

A seventh-generation Asetek pump runs at up to 2800 RPM to move coolant through the 123 by 275 by 30mm aluminium radiator. Two 120mm fluid-dynamic-bearing fans spin between 500 and 1800 RPM with a tolerance of 180 RPM, delivering 78.86 CFM at 33.88 dBA. The single breakout cable reduces cable clutter during long sessions.

Pre-install checks

Verify that your case can mount a 240mm radiator with 30mm thickness and two 120mm fan slots. Confirm the motherboard socket matches the supported Intel or AMD list above. Ensure a 4-pin PWM header is available for fan control and a USB header for the LCD microcontroller. The copper cold plate measures 81.9mm diameter by 59.5mm height.

Questions about this item

How loud are the 120 mm F120RGB Core fans at full 1,800 RPM when the Kraken Elite runs all day?

The two 120 mm fans peak at 33.88 dBA at 1,800 RPM, and CAM software can drop them to 0 RPM at low temperatures for silent idle periods.

Which motherboard sockets and headers must my system already have for the RL-KR24E-W1 to install and run?

You need an Intel LGA 1851, 1700 or 1200/115X socket, or AMD AM5, AM4, sTRX4 or TR4 socket, plus a 4-pin PWM fan header and a USB 2.0 internal header for the pump and LCD.

Will the 275 mm long radiator and 30 mm thickness fit alongside my existing full-length graphics card in a standard mid-tower?

The radiator measures 123 mm wide by 275 mm long by 30 mm thick, so verify your case lists 240 mm top or front clearance with at least 30 mm depth before the GPU.
