The NZXT Kraken Elite RGB is a 280mm all-in-one liquid cooling solution designed for thermal management of modern processors. It integrates a 280mm aluminum radiator with two 140mm FDB (Fluid Dynamic Bearing) fans to dissipate heat. The system's pump is a 7th generation Asetek design, which circulates coolant to a copper cold plate for direct thermal transfer from the CPU. The unit is constructed with 400mm rubber tubing, providing flexibility for installation within various case layouts.
A primary feature of this cooler is the 2.36-inch TFT-LCD screen on the pump head, which has a 640x640 resolution and a 60 Hz refresh rate. This display can be configured to show real-time system metrics, custom images, or animated GIFs. All customization, including the RGB lighting on the fans and pump, is managed through the NZXT CAM software. The cooler offers broad compatibility with multiple Intel and AMD processor sockets, including LGA 1700 and AM5.
