About NZXT Kraken Core 360 RGB Liquid Cooler

At the heart of the Kraken Core 360 RGB is a substantial 397 × 120 × 27 mm aluminum radiator, which maximizes heat dissipation across its surface area.

This is crucial for maintaining low temperatures during sustained load, such as long gaming sessions or intense workstation tasks.

Integrated with the radiator are three F360 RGB Core fans that operate across a broad speed range of 500 to 2,400 ± 250 RPM.

Their high static pressure design helps efficiently channel air through tightly packed radiator fins, improving heat exchange while keeping noise levels in check.

Cooling performance begins with the cooler’s pump, built to deliver high flow while maintaining quiet operation.

Spinning up to ~3,100 RPM, the pump ensures uninterrupted coolant circulation through the tubing and radiator, helping to keep your CPU’s thermals under control even under peak load.

The inclusion of pre-applied thermal paste and tool-less mounting brackets makes assembly quick and hassle-free, especially for first-time builders or those refreshing an old cooler.

A standout aspect of the Kraken Core 360 RGB is its aesthetic appeal.

Both the pump cap and the included fans feature addressable RGB lighting, allowing vibrant illumination synchronized with your motherboard’s ARGB headers.

This lighting setup can complement themed builds, adding captivating color effects without requiring dedicated lighting controllers.

Thanks to the straightforward RGB connectivity, customization and synchronization are handled directly through your existing RGB software ecosystem on compatible motherboards.

Engineered for versatility, the Kraken Core 360 RGB supports a broad range of CPU sockets from major platforms.

On the Intel side, it fits LGA 1851, LGA 1700, LGA 1200, and older LGA 115X sockets.

For AMD systems, compatibility extends across AM5 and AM4 sockets.

This wide compatibility ensures that whether you’re using the latest generation CPUs or refreshing an older build, you can harness the cooling power of this AIO cooler without compatibility concerns.

Every component of the Kraken Core 360 RGB is designed with both performance and durability in mind.

The tubing uses durable CIIR + EPDM rubber with a nylon braided sleeve that adds flexibility during installation and resistance against wear.

Fluid dynamic bearings in the fans contribute to longer operational life and quieter performance over time, while each fan delivers respectable airflow and static pressure to match the large radiator’s demands.

Whether you’re building a cutting-edge gaming rig or a powerful workstation, the NZXT Kraken Core 360 RGB provides a compelling balance of thermal performance, visual flair, and ease of installation.

Its robust cooling capability and extensive socket support make it suitable for handling demanding CPUs, while the vibrant RGB lighting enhances your build’s aesthetics — making it a strong choice for both first-time builders and seasoned enthusiasts alike.
