NZXT KRAKEN CORE RGB 360 Black
NZXT KRAKEN CORE RGB 360 Black
The NZXT KRAKEN CORE 360 RGB black liquid cooler dissipates heat from the processor using a closed-loop liquid circuit. This complete AIO (All-in-One) set offers an effective cooling solution for modern and high-performance processors. The system combines a large aluminium radiator with three fans that automatically regulate their speed. At the heart of the circuit is a high-performance pump with a fixed speed of 3100 RPM, which maintains a constant and reliable flow of coolant. This RGB liquid cooler provides effective cooling even under heavy thermal loads during gaming or demanding work, and its installation is designed to be simple and fast.
Key features of the NZXT KRAKEN CORE 360 RGB black liquid cooler
- High-performance pump operates at a fixed speed of 3100 RPM
- PWM fans automatically regulate speed from 500 to 2400 RPM
- Pump cap features 19 LEDs controllable via the motherboard's ARGB header
- Single-frame fan design simplifies cable management
- Supports AMD AM5, AM4 and Intel LGA 1700, 1851, 1200 and 115X sockets
- Copper cold plate optimises heat transfer from the processor
- Aluminium radiator efficiently dissipates heat from the circuit
Performance and quiet operation
The three fans automatically regulate their speed (PWM) in a range of 500 to 2400 RPM, precisely adapting the cooling performance to the current temperature and processor load. Operation remains stable and quiet thanks to the use of Fluid Dynamic Bearings (FDB), which minimise friction, vibration, and operating noise. The individual fans are connected into a single frame, which simplifies cable management and also ensures a better seal with the radiator for more effective airflow.
Customisable RGB lighting
The backlighting on the pump cap complements the cooler's appearance and gives your build a distinctive look. It features a total of 19 addressable RGB LEDs, whose colour and lighting effects can be fully synchronised with other components in your PC case. It connects simply and directly to a standard 5V ARGB header on the motherboard. This eliminates the need to install additional manufacturer software or external controllers, as all settings are managed through the motherboard's native utility program.
Easy installation and compatibility
The cooler is quick to install thanks to a tool-free bracket system that easily attaches to the motherboard. The process is further simplified by the pre-applied thermal paste on the copper block, which removes the need for manual application. The cooler supports a wide range of sockets, including modern AMD AM4, AM5 and Intel LGA 1700, 1200, and 115X platforms. The system also supports the future Intel LGA 1851 socket, ensuring the cooler's usability for upcoming processor generations. Flexible 420mm tubing facilitates installation in various case types.
Construction and materials
A pure copper block forms the base for dissipating heat from the processor and effectively absorbs heat from the CPU's heatspreader. The liquid then transfers the thermal energy to an aluminium radiator measuring 27 × 397 × 120 mm. The radiator's large surface area efficiently disperses heat into the surrounding environment. The single-frame fan design simplifies cable routing while ensuring a cleaner look for the entire build. This solution optimises static air pressure on the radiator and minimises air leakage between the fan frames.
