5 Stars
Works incredibly well!
I purchased an Amazon Warehouse Return that was indicated as being in "acceptable condition". The item arrived in it's original box with many of the items never opened or seemingly touched. The unit had been mounted (the original thermal paste was removed) and was placed into what appears an intel system. I cleaned my item and applied new thermal paste without issue. The item had worked perfectly since installing with my temps running at their highest - 110 degrees while streaming online gaming. I love my Kraken Elite 360 dearly and can't believe it was available at a $100 discount. The full screen is beautiful! Really has made a difference in my Fractal North build thus far.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kraken Z73- A good all around cooler for your PC
Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2020
I have to say a great addition to my build and keeps it very cool. My build is a ryzen 3700x, rtx 2070 super and phanteks evolv x, and keeps my cpu very cool at around 60c when under heavy load during a time spy cpu stress test, 99.2% frame rate maintained for 20 runs. The thermals in my room is not the best and I have been running with the pre-applied thermal paste, so take the thermals with some reservation. Although when running with my old air cooler and using good thermal paste, I would get around 85c for the same run on time spy stress. So I went down 25c and can go down more if I reapplied thermal paste.

The installation for Z73 was easy enough in my case and had no problems. I did replace the fans with corsair ll 120s because I wanted to have my rgb with my case. I have to say those fans fit perfectly if you want to do the same. Also my case made it easier to put in, since I could take the top panel off for an easy install, just keep in mind how your case will allow you to install.

The LCD screen is a nice touch for constant temperature showing when running stress tests and benchmarks to see how it's performing. The best thing about the screen is that you have an added part to your lighting and make it an interesting part of the theme you are doing. I do multiple themes for my setup and it is great for changing up your looks as much as you want (Sunset theme in video). It adds more to your build to have more fun with the theme your going for.

The noise level is quite good with this aio. If your looking for a quiet aio, the Z73 is a contender because on quiet mode you can't really hear it and still cools very well, never really went past 65c (don't have the best ambient temperature and never reapplied paste). I usually have headphones (Corsair Virtuoso) on and have it running on performance, where it is louder but with headphones on I can't really hear the pump and fans. If you aren't using headphones, the noise is noticable but if you have your speakers running, it's not too bad. It just depends on how close you are to your pc. I have my on desk but I also have it connected to my tv and I will be a bit of distance away and can't really hear it when gaming off the TV.

The only problem I have to say with this cooler is the cam software. The monitoring side of the software loves to act weird after an update for a week and give you some weird readings. It reads my gpu as running at 527 degrees sometimes because it doesn't registers the demcial point because it was running at 52.7c. Also the software doesn't remember your previous setup sometimes after an update and resets your settings for mode your running and the LCD screen. Also if you are running a ryzen system, your temperature will fluctuate a bit because cam and other softwares can't read as accurate as ryzen master, so don't be worried when it jumps around in temperature.

Summary

Pros- Install, Cooling, Noise, Looks, Performance

Cons- Cost (if you are worried about the cost), CAM software, non rgb fans included

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Nice
Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2023
Bought this to cool my 5800x3d that I recently upgraded to from a 3700x. Function great and is very aethetically pleasing to look at. Great customization, crisp and responsive display, and the software is lightweight. The software also doesn't conflict with my other rgb software (eg. Razer Synapse, OpenRGB, and G.Skill). I'd recommend this for any high end cpu that naturally runs hot such as the 5800x3d, 13900k, 7950x3d, etc. Overall, this is a great replacement for my AMD Wraith Prism cooler. Before my cpu temps got high enough where my computer would crash due to overheating and would idle at 80c. Now my cpu idles at 33c and I've never seen it reach above 70c even while stress testing with Furmark cpu burner and playing games with ray tracing enabled and set to max. The only thing I don't like is that for me the cooler shows up as an ejectable device like a USB stick. When you click Eject NZXT Kracken Elite it makes the software stop working. Although, the pump still functions when "ejected". I haven't seen anyone else have this problem so this might just be a me thing that I'm personally not going to bother to fix. Overall great cooler, lightweight software, very nice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Working great so far. Looks awesome.
Reviewed in Canada on February 22, 2024
I had a very nice 360mm AIO made by Deep Cool (Castle RGB). It was great. I had no complaints. I liked the RGB effect on the pump, and it cooled quite well on a i7 10700K that was overclocked.

I upgraded my system to a i7 14700K, and while I was doing it I decided to modify my open loop on my video card, and because my case is Star Trek themed, I wanted an AIO with a display on it for my CPU. Specifically I wanted one that could show a video.

So I picked up the Kraken. I did not want to add another fan controller to my system since I already have one fan controller and a strimer controller from Lian Li and an aRGB hub. One more controller would have been just too much.
I already had 3 Lian Li Uni fans I was using on my old cooler so I am still using them because they match the rest of my build.
I am only using the pump and rad. The pump plugs into an internal USB header. This allows the software to control the pump and the display.
I used an Animated GIF for the video.
The cooler is working about the same as the Deep Cool did with these same fans. So far (after about a month) I like the cooler and especially the display on the pump.
I can't say anything about the fans since I am not using them.
I do recommend this cooler. It was not hard to install, and it works well.

This would be my 5th NZXT AIO over the years on my 6 builds. I've been fortunate that none of them failed as they just keep working, I dont over-clock my systems. Just try to buy these when on sale, as they get quite pricey.
