All-in-one liquid cooler NZXT Kraken 240 RGB

The NZXT Kraken 240 RGB is an all-in-one liquid cooler with a 240 mm radiator, integrated 1.54" square LCD display and two 120 mm RGB Core fans. It combines an Asetek high-performance pump, pre-applied NZXT thermal paste and extended nylon-braided tubing to provide efficient thermal management and a compact installation for modern CPU sockets.

Advantages

The built-in 1.54" 240x240 LCD display (30 Hz) can show system information or custom images. The Asetek pump circulates coolant efficiently and operates quietly. RGB Core fans with fluid dynamic bearings deliver effective airflow and adjustable lighting. Installation is simplified by a single breakout cable from pump to motherboard, included mounting brackets for Intel and AMD sockets, and pre-applied thermal paste.

Suitable for

• Cooling mainstream and high-performance desktop CPUs in compact and mid-tower builds
• Systems that benefit from a visual pump display for temperatures or custom graphics
• Users who prefer easier AIO installation with pre-applied thermal paste and compatible mounting kit

How to use

Mount the radiator in a compatible case location, attach the included 120 mm RGB Core fans to the radiator, and secure the pump block to the CPU using the supplied mounting brackets for your socket.

Power on the system and configure the LCD display and RGB lighting through compatible NZXT software if available.

Recommendations

Install the radiator where it can receive unobstructed airflow, confirm compatibility with case clearance and motherboard headers before installation, and periodically check tubing and fittings for secure connections. Use the manufacturer software to monitor pump speed, fan curves and to customize the LCD content and RGB effects.
