Kraken Elite 360 AIO liquid cooler

The NZXT Kraken Elite 360 is an all-in-one liquid cooler built around a 360 mm radiator and three 120 mm fluid-dynamic-bearing fans. A 2.72 inch IPS LCD with 640 x 640 resolution at 60 Hz sits on the pump block, surrounded by an addressable RGB ring. The unit mounts to Intel LGA 1851, 1700, 1200 and 115X sockets as well as AMD AM5 and AM4 platforms.

Upgrading from air coolers or 240 mm AIOs

Builders moving from a tower air cooler or a 240 mm liquid cooler gain the extra radiator surface of the 360 mm design and the higher static pressure of the Turbine pump. The jump is worthwhile when the CPU regularly sustains heavy all-core loads that push smaller coolers into noisy fan curves.

Capacity and headroom

Three fans spinning between 500 and 2,400 RPM deliver 75.12 CFM each at up to 30.00 dBA, giving ample thermal headroom for modern high-wattage desktop processors. The 402 mm radiator length and 27 mm block thickness require a case with matching clearance; tighter chassis may not accommodate the full assembly.

Questions about this item

How much clearance does the 401 mm wide pump block need above the motherboard?

The pump block measures 401 x 120 x 27 mm, so allow at least 27 mm of vertical clearance above the CPU socket for the unit itself plus room for the reinforced tubing to bend without kinking.

Which mounting brackets are used for an Intel LGA 1700 socket?

Use the supplied Intel bracket set labelled for LGA 1700; secure the back-plate first, then align the pump block over the socket before tightening the four captive screws in a cross pattern to avoid uneven pressure.

When should the three 120 mm radiator fans be cleaned?

Clean the fan blades and radiator fins with compressed air every 6 to 12 months; the fluid-dynamic bearings are sealed and do not require lubrication.
