NZXT Kraken Elite 360 RGB (2024) White (RL-KR36E-W2)

A massive premium-class liquid cooling system with three fans, distinguished by its elegant white design and advanced visualization technologies. It represents the 2024 model lineup of the Kraken series and belongs to the high-price segment, standing out with its snow-white case lighting, an integrated pump screen, and comprehensive ARGB lighting with deep customization in the NZXT CAM software application.

The main feature of the model is a quality 2.36-inch LCD screen on the pump with a resolution of 640x640 pixels, capable of displaying temperature, frequencies, system information, and short GIFs. Unlike the standard Kraken model, the Kraken Elite's display is larger (2.72 vs. 2.4 inches) and effectively occupies the entire pump cover. Additionally, the screen is brighter and can display images at a rate of 60 frames per second.

ARGB lighting is implemented through addressable LEDs in the fans and ring lighting around the LCD screen, and the proprietary application allows for experimentation with more than 20 different lighting effects. In terms of technical characteristics, the NZXT Kraken Elite 360 RGB White is identical to the standard version without lighting and is in fact one of the most efficient LC systems on the market.

The construction consists of a 360mm aluminum radiator, three F240 RGB Core fans, and a custom NZXT Turbine pump, which increases cooling efficiency by 10% compared to previous Kraken versions. Although the manufacturer does not disclose performance ratings, independent measurements indicate that the system successfully handles a TDP in the range of 260-270W and is 99% likely to be suitable for cooling any of the most powerful consumer-grade processors (supports Intel LGA 1851/1700/1200/115x and AMD AM5/AM4 sockets).
