Product overview

The NZXT Kraken Elite RGB 360 is an all-in-one liquid cooler with a 2.36 inch wide-angle LCD that runs at 640x640 resolution. A 7th generation Asetek pump spins at 2800 RPM while three 120 mm F120RGB Core fans operate between 500 and 1800 RPM. The copper cold plate and aluminum radiator measure 121 by 394 by 27 mm. NZXT CAM software controls the display, fan curves and a 0 RPM mode for silent idle operation.

Ideal buyer and limits

This cooler suits builders who want a 360 mm radiator, a customizable LCD and per-fan RGB on a modern Intel or AMD platform. It is not for buyers who need a Threadripper mounting bracket because that bracket is not included. It is also not for cases that cannot fit a 394 mm long radiator or a 27 mm thick core with 26 mm fans. The single breakout cable simplifies wiring but requires a motherboard header that supports 4-pin PWM control.

Compatibility checklist

Verify that your case has clearance for a 394 mm radiator and enough thickness for the 27 mm core plus 26 mm fans. Confirm the motherboard socket is among the supported Intel LGA 1150, 1151, 1155, 1156, 1200, 1700, 1851 or AMD AM4, AM5, sTR4, sTRX4. Ensure a 4-pin PWM header is available for the fan breakout cable and that a USB 2.0 header is free for CAM software control. Check that the 81.9 mm diameter cold plate clears nearby components.

Questions about this item

Which CPU sockets does the Kraken Elite RGB 360mm block support out of the box?

The block fits AMD Socket AM4, AM5, sTR4 and sTRX4 plus Intel LGA 1150, 1151, 1155, 1156, 1200, 1700 and 1851. Threadripper bracket not included.

Can the three F120RGB Core fans run at a fixed low speed for silent operation on an older motherboard with only 3-pin headers?

The fans use 4-pin PWM connectors and operate from 500 to 1,800 RPM; they require PWM control for speed regulation and will run at full speed on 3-pin headers.

How do I verify the 2.36-inch LCD is displaying the correct 640x640 resolution after installing NZXT CAM?

In CAM, open the Kraken Elite display settings, load a test GIF or custom image and confirm the screen renders sharp detail at the native 640x640 pixel grid.
