All-in-one liquid cooler NZXT Kraken Elite 240 12 cm Black

The Kraken Elite delivers chillingly cool performance with a 2.36" wide-angle LCD display that presents custom images and animated GIFs in a clear 640x640 resolution. The unit combines efficient liquid cooling with a vivid display that remains detailed across viewing angles, while reinforced nylon-braided tubing improves durability during installation and handling.

Advantages

Increased customization is enabled by a more powerful microcontroller, supporting features such as audio visualizers and CAM telemetry displayed with particle density animations. The display is twice as bright as previous generations, and the 7th gen Asetek pump operates up to 2800 RPM to provide optimal cooling. Quiet F Series Static Pressure fans offer effective heat dissipation. A single breakout cable simplifies setup.

Suitable for

• Custom PC builders who want an integrated LCD display on the cooler
