Very good aio Very good aio

After having the Kraken 240 in a system I've now upgraded to the 280 as it was an incredible price on sale.
Was a tight fit in my Lian li Lancool mesh case due to the Motherboard, but managed to squeeze the radiator into the top.
Note - the unit request 2x sata power connectors. one for the pump LCD, and another for the RGB fan controller.
Overall a great AIO cooler, and the added LCD is a nice bonus. if you can get this on sale go for it. After having the Kraken 240 in a system I've now upgraded to the 280 as it was an incredible price on sale.

Got this on sale, installation was pretty straightforward and I had no issues. Cools my i9 quite well. Good value for money, the display on the block is pretty nice. Keep in mind to keep custom images on the display you have to keep the NZXT software running in the background. Got this on sale, installation was pretty straightforward and I had no issues.

Purchased on special. Its super quiet and keeps my X3D chip under 70C while gaming and idle is around 31C.

I originally wanted to buy the cheaper 240 however the sales person was able to explain the differences between the 280 and 240 so i decided on the 280 model..

Installation is straightforward thanks to NZXT’s simplified mounting system and single breakout cable, making setup easier for most users. Some versions also include an LCD screen that allows system monitoring and customization. However, full control of lighting and performance requires the NZXT CAM software, which may not appeal to everyone. Additionally, its price is higher than many non-RGB alternatives. Overall, the Kraken 280 RGB offers an excellent balance of performance, quiet operation, and premium design for enthusiasts and gamers.
