Wow, thanks so much for this video! I just built my PC and I was afraid to go with an AIO, i thought id mess up installation somehow so I went air cooling. I'm going to grab the Kraken Elite 360 and upgrade my air cooler for my early birthday gift to myself next month!

I'm still running an older x63. It works great on my 5800x. CAM uses very little of my system anymore compared to when I first used it, and being able to see water temps and set pump speeds outside of fan speeds is a nice bonus too. I set my pump to 90% and then use a mild fan curve and combined with my Fractal Define 7 my system is super quiet while staying cool.

It is nice when A company listens to their customers there are many companies that could take notes from NZXT Really nice to see they have solved most problems we been moaning about

The one thing I liked most about Kraken was its AER 2 fans with the ring shape rgb. It looks too standard now for my liking. Guess you'll need to spend more money to get those fans

@16:30 its my understanding that you do in fact require the software to properly run their pumps. Their default is to run in silent mode out of the box, and they will not engage beyond that without the monitoring software to control it.

they should make a little plug on their motherboard, that you can plug the usb from the cooler pump into, and use it for both diagnostics (like a motherboard error readout) and of course, the info it's capable of displaying now. That would be cool. (And useful) most motherboards dont have a proper error code readout these days, on the motherboard.

I have the white Kraken x53 ARGB 240MM rad. Gorgeous.

Looks a lot like my Kraken Z3 which has a full large circle display etc, The one thin USB cable and fan harnes was never an issue for me. What's nice is HWInfo picks up the Kraken Pump Fan Speed, and Liquid Temp So I am building a Rainmeter / HWinfo based info panel with my Kraken info showing. Yes there were white Kraken. I key the pump speed off CPU temp so it ramps up quickly. The radiator Fan I key off the liquid temp. I would probably get an adapter and use an MSI controller or generic ARGB hub for fans. The problem is that only RGBSignal can run well with CAM running when trying to get 2+ ARGB systems to talk. Too often too many apps on the SMBus? caused Vengence Pro Ram RGB to lock. I only run it to rotate images on Pump screen and make sure my cooling profile is running. What I would want to ever buy another AIO with a screen is OLED, because the LCD is on mine has poor blacks in my darker case lighting. Alot of the features you showed except for single cable have been in the Z73 and siblings for over a year and the updated sofware they just released gave me all new features. I have been very happy with mine for almost a year, and consider the screen AIO as my guiltly pleasure of the build.

I agree. Im not sure why people are acting like these are revolutionary when the Elite is basically just a refresh of the regular Z series. A slightly higher res but still LCD screen and a single plug vs 2 (which was never a problem anyway) everything else is identical. Same asetek pump and radiator. The new kraken is nice for someone who wants a screen on a budget but its like a 1x1 square, no point in paying the NZXT tax when other brands have had similar screens for years at this point. The elite is the best option but its the same price or more than the original Z series.

@BillBittel

Why would you control your pump speed with CPU temp that constantly jumps all over the place? Flow rate generally has little impact on heat transfer efficiency (outside of extremes) and if the flow rate is in the linear part of the efficiency curve, coolant temp will be the same (within 1 to 2C) everywhere in the loop. Having your pump constantly changing speed is also hard on the pump.

I was looking for a comment to see if they had changed the actual pump, guess they didn't. Thanks for the info.

On the side angle you had it where it was showing the U blocks closing and opening to show you the size of the actual screen, there was a good angle right as you were about to move it off scream at time 21:21 and you could see the outline of the screen. Personally i prefer the white with a larger AIO and screen as if it's going to have a screen at all means you have a cse you can see into and white goes very well with a lot of builds in the last few years that are using white cases, but even non white cases the white of pump, lines and pump, looks great as an accent. Back to what i was saying before, if you are going to have a screen on it i want to be able to configure it how i like it. the Black one should just have a basic cheap screen that only shows temps and maybe a few other things that are core components like a warning of overheating, pump failing, CPU spot temp about to melt your AMD CPU, a GPU temp, amd hotspot, things like that, and have an audible warning if something is wrong and a quick look can tell you the relevant information instantly, the white one should also have this so regardless of what you have setup to be displayed on it, if there is a serious issue it would temporarily overwrite those setting to give you the warnings and stats. that is what it should have if it is not going to be a high quality screen like the White variant. Also would be nice to have it have the ability to turn the system off if something serious is happening like your AMD chip melting and instantly turn off the power. Either way thanks for the great video. Love from Canada :)

I have 240 old version and works perfect 7 years

If you make it white, you should make the wires white, the main pump wires are black, and the refresh rate of the screen could be better.

This is pretty cool but the biggest complaints I've had with NZXT coolers. I had the X73 and now the Z73 LCD is that 1. Cam is awful, end of story. and 2. These coolers have no memory. What that means is if I put a graphic of spongebob putting a fire out and then I restart my PC, that graphic will no longer be there unless I start cam, and I don't want cam to auto start on my PC. On the Corsair line of AIO coolers, they do have memory so when you restart your PC, that graphic will still be there without the need to start iCUE. I'm not positive if this new line from NZXT has it, you may have mentioned it in this video and I missed it but if they don't, that's a huge let down and not even worth an upgrade. I'm probably switching to a Corsair AIO soon just because I want to have one ecosystem, that's assuming Corsair can come out with daisy chained fans, waiting on Corsair or NZXT whoever does it first.

I find this really interesting, I would love to see the performance differences between the white and black models of the same model. There is a difference in the way heat is dissipated between white and black. Black being more efficient at removing heat in an intercooler (I believe, its been a while), interesting to see if thanslates into these small radiator units used in PC watercooling.

black does absorb a bit more heat from rgb lights but this effect is probably so small that the slightest variation in other conditions (like room temperature) would make it insignificant (thus very hard to test and has little meaning).

@@haha-be6xl thank you, so, I never considered LEDs as a heat source, and correct, I don’t think this could even be measurable. I am referring to the heat absorption, radiation and reflection properties between the 2 colours. I have seen some ‘tests’ done with air to air heat exchangers where the same intercooler in black performs measurably better than it does in white. This being due to what I believe is the natural propensity for black to radiate heat energy more easily than white. White reflects heat energy really well, but doesn’t radiate it as well as black does. I was wondering if the same behaviour here is measurable, and if so, how much of a difference there is ‘in the real world’.

With the decreasing number of USB 2.0 headers, have you thought of making a guide to de-pinning a single row plug and joining it to another single row plug? The top row and bottom row on a single header are technically two USB “ports”. I have a Corsair PSU and AIO both wired to the same header and they both have been working fine for years. Just a thought.

My guy, just get a usb splitter. That is not worth the work lmao.

This will be my 3rd 280 Kraken my 280 Infinity mirror has been running for 7 years nonstop and is still going strong currently building 2 new 13th gen PCs 1 will have the Kraken 280 the other will have the Kraken Elite 280 expensive but well worth it and come a long way in 7 years even though my infinity mirror still stands out 7 years later

I think I’ll still go with the Deepcool LT720 for my next cooler. Amazing visuals, great quiet performance, and decent price at $140. The white version is really close to $200 on several websites, so that’s probably being scalped.

AIO without SW are dogshit. you cant control the pump or the fans unless you're in the bios. cant properly adjust your settings for your temps on the fly. if you're spending that much money get something thats actually good. you might as well just buy a cooler with a thick heatsink does just as good for the same headache for even cheaper than that.

I wonder if you can modify the firmware on the old krakens to act like these new krakens with the new features of what can be displayed on the LCD? It would be nice because us Linux users can't use the cam software.

I just upgraded to the Elite 360 from the 3year old Kracken Z73 the display is super sexy and one plug into the pump instead of 2 connections money well spent especially to help cool the I9 13900KS 😎

Does the elite offer better cooling than the Z73?

Waiting for a follow up video with recommendations what games to play on the AIO screens

Fun Fact: The 7th Gen Kraken lineup actually performs noticeably worse than the DeepCool LT720 that retails at $139 MSRP

Yup, the Deepcool, Arctic and EK AIO's all spank 6th and 7th gen Asetek units and all cost less than this.

My first Kraken X62 broke after about 5 years. Pump died and took a while to get them to let me send it in for their 6 year warranty. They sent me a new one because the pump did in fact die. Well then just over 5 years later the replacement Kraken X62 pump and fans died. I was doing a virus scan and the fans sped up and then just stopped (I could hear them) it had me worried so I stopped the scan and restarted the computer only to be met with CPU cooling fans malfunctioned or something like that error in the bios. I went to the desktop and CAM opened up and saw my CPU getting hotter. The Kraken was turning red (color scheme for temp) so I quickly shut off my computer. I contacted NZXT again with the same problem as before and they claimed they wont do anything because I guess the warranty only covers the first one. But this is the second one that has died after 5 years (within the 6 year warranty window). So now I am looking at going to a different AIO since it's clear the NZXT Krakens pumps keep dying (a recurring problem I see in other reviews as well) and they only warranty it sometimes I guess?

Rolf, are you seriously are complaining about 10 year lifespan of your AIO?

Finally the cables are on the oposite side of the pump so you can mount it without the tubes obstructing the RAM

Do they plan to keep dual infographic + g8f background exclusive to new cooler ? Because a CAM update dropped but my Z73 Kraken still does not have this option (but the web URL gif option is now available)

$300 for a 360mm aio is a bit much.

If only they didn't cost like 500 bucks, borderline custom water cooling money. Looks cool tho

I did full custom watercooling for under $500 lol

This is awesome. I'd love to put a block like this in my setup, though I think I might start planning for a new build this year. My SFF PC that I'm building is taking up most of my free income right now, LOL.

I’m getting a nzxt kraken elite 240 for my first pc build 😊

stop with 2 ads in the video!

And now for something unreasonable expensive and completely useless : aka "pcmasterrace" in a nutshell.

This is a really Cool video thanks 👍👍

I really liked my Kraken 240, but unfortunately my screen kept going blank. The cam software couldn't reconnect, and I had to reboot my system to fix it. Doing some research, it seems to be a common problem. Returned it and now I'm keeping it simple, and cheap, with a Peerless Assassin. Pretty sure my cooling is just as good TBH.

NZXT makes nice AIOs! Thanks for sharing Jay!

Good to see that the fans can be controlled by the watertemp again!

***Jay** Love the video. I'm now sold on having one. Any chance you might have time to share how much space ech cooling block needs between RAM sticks please?

Why am I getting vibes that I like the smaller, non Elite-version screen more? I guess I'm a real minimalistic, professional kind of thinker. I did purchase the Elite, but I do like these as much 100%. I think in the future, I will go for a more simple screen, just because of this video, since the cooling is exactly the same strength on the two 3-fan models -thanks for the demo Jay.

Literally speccing out my new AM5 system and this video drops while I was eyeing the old Kraken in my cart....
