The NZXT Kraken Elite 240 is an all-in-one liquid CPU cooler for PC builders who want effective processor cooling alongside a customisable display. Its 240 mm radiator makes it a fit for gaming PCs and desktop systems using supported Intel or AMD sockets.

A custom NZXT Turbine pump drives coolant through a copper cold plate, while two high static pressure fans move air through the radiator. The 2.72-inch IPS LCD has a 640 x 640 resolution and 60 Hz refresh rate. It can show a favourite image or GIF, system performance information and supported Spotify or YouTube content. An RGB ring adds adjustable lighting that can be synchronised with on-screen content or other RGB devices.

Key features

• NZXT Turbine pump is designed for high flow rate and head pressure.
• IPS LCD supports custom images, GIFs and real-time system monitoring.
• Dynamic RGB ring lighting can be customised or synchronised with screen content.
• Two F120P fans provide 73.47 CFM airflow each and support Zero RPM Mode at low loads.
• Pre-applied thermal paste and tool-free mounting brackets simplify installation.
• A single breakout cable set helps reduce the number of connections to manage.
• Braided rubber tubing is designed for flexible handling and long-term leak protection.

Compatibility

The included mounting hardware supports Intel LGA 1851, LGA 1700, LGA 1200 and LGA 115X, plus AMD AM5 and AM4. NZXT CAM is required to configure the cooler controls and customise the LCD and lighting.
