About the NZXT Kraken Plus 360 Black RGB V2 Liquid Cooler

At its core, this cooler utilizes a substantial 360 mm aluminum radiator paired with three high-static-pressure RGB fans to dissipate heat effectively from high-end CPUs. These fans operate across a broad speed range — from whisper-quiet at low loads to high airflow when pushed under demanding tasks — ensuring your processor stays cool during gaming, rendering, or productivity workloads. The fans are built with fluid dynamic bearings for durability and smoother operation, and deliver strong airflow of around 75 CFM per fan, maintaining efficient heat transfer throughout the cooling cycle.

Driving the cooling loop is the custom NZXT Turbine pump, engineered to maintain steady coolant flow and effectively transfer thermal energy away from the CPU block. Its impressive speed range — up to around 2,800 RPM — ensures your system stays within safe thermal limits, even when overclocking or pushing the CPU to its limits. The advanced split-flow copper cold plate design enhances contact with the CPU, further improving heat absorption and transfer.

One of the most compelling innovations of the Kraken Plus 360 Black RGB V2 is its 1.54-inch LCD display mounted on the pump head. This vibrant, customizable panel does more than display basic system parameters; it allows you to personalize your build with animated GIFs, custom artwork, system temperatures, fan speeds, and more. The display is fully adjustable via the NZXT CAM software, giving you creative control over what you want to present.

Complementing the LCD is a suite of addressable RGB lighting integrated across the pump and fans. Each lighting element is fully customizable, letting you create lighting effects that sync with other RGB hardware in your computer. Whether you prefer subtle lighting or bold color schemes, the Kraken Plus 360 provides the flexibility to match your build’s aesthetic.

Installation is designed to be straightforward and user-friendly, a key advantage for both first-time builders and experienced system integrators. The cooler includes pre-applied thermal paste to save time and remove the guesswork often associated with separate paste application. The single breakout cable system simplifies cabling and helps keep your build neat and organized, reducing clutter and improving airflow within the chassis.

Compatibility is broad, with support for a wide array of Intel and AMD sockets, including the latest standards like LGA 1700, LGA 1851, AM4, and AM5. This ensures that whether you’re building on a modern platform or upgrading an existing system, the Kraken Plus 360 Black RGB V2 is ready to fit and perform reliably.

Equally important is the software experience. The NZXT CAM interface offers intuitive control over fan curves, pump speeds, RGB lighting, and the LCD display. CAM’s unified dashboard brings all critical performance metrics and customization options into one place, making monitoring and tuning your system easier than ever.

In summary, the NZXT Kraken Plus 360 Black RGB V2 liquid cooler brings together high-end cooling performance, stunning custom visuals, and easy installation in one dynamic package. It’s an excellent choice for anyone looking to push their CPU performance while adding a striking centerpiece to their PC build.
