Overview

The NZXT Kraken Elite 240 RGB (RL-KR24E-W1) is a premium 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler that combines serious thermal performance with a striking visual centerpiece. At the heart of the pump head sits a 2.36-inch LCD display running at 640x640 resolution and 60 Hz, with a 690 cd/m² backlight that keeps content vivid and legible from wide viewing angles. Through NZXT's CAM software, users can display animated GIFs, static images, real-time system metrics, currently playing music, or even integrated web content—turning the cooler into a dynamic dashboard inside the case.

On the performance side, the Asetek-designed pump spins at up to 2,800 RPM to maintain efficient, quiet coolant circulation through the 240mm radiator. Two F120 RGB Core fans equipped with fluid dynamic bearings deliver a balanced combination of static pressure and airflow, pushing heat out of the radiator while adding customizable RGB lighting to the build. The white finish across the radiator, fans, and pump head caters to light-themed builds, and a single breakout cable from pump to motherboard keeps the installation clean and straightforward. Compatible with both Intel and AMD sockets, the Kraken Elite 240 RGB is well-suited for mid-range to moderately overclocked systems where aesthetics and cooling performance are equally important.
