A 360 mm AIO with a 2.72-inch IPS LCD, NZXT Turbine pump and three 120 mm fluid-dynamic-bearing fans for Intel and AMD sockets
Size 3 Fan Slots (120mm)
Color White
The NZXT Kraken Elite RL-KR36E-W2 is a 360 mm all-in-one liquid cooler with a 2.72-inch IPS LCD and ARGB lighting. A proprietary Turbine pump combines high pressure and high flow for strong CPU cooling. Three 120 mm fluid-dynamic-bearing fans run at 500 to 2,400 RPM with 75.12 CFM each at 30 dBA.
Suits builders who want real-time system stats or custom GIFs on the pump screen and synchronized RGB across the ring and fans. Not for cases that cannot mount a 402 mm radiator with three 120 mm fan slots or systems limited to a single 8-pin PWM and RGB header for the fan unit.
The 402 mm radiator and Turbine pump handle high-TDP Intel Core i9, i7, i5, i3, Pentium, Celeron on LGA 1851, 1700, 1200/115X and AMD Ryzen 9, 7, 5, 3 on AM5 and AM4. Headroom drops in compact chassis without 360 mm top or front clearance or when fan curves are capped below 2,400 RPM.

Other versions of this model
Same family, different memory, cooler or clock — compare before you commit.
The pump block includes brackets for Intel LGA 1851, 1700, 1200 and 115X plus AMD AM5 and AM4 so it fits current mainstream desktop sockets out of the box.
The radiator measures 402 mm long with three 120 mm fan slots so it needs a 360 mm mounting area; a 240 mm bracket pattern will not line up.
Connect the pump’s 8-pin cable to a USB 2.0 header and the fan unit to a PWM header then open NZXT CAM software — the screen should light at 640 x 640 resolution and 60 Hz while the ring syncs with the chosen effect.
