Awesome!
I had a Thermaltake AIO, lasted just over 2 years and then would not cool very well. First purchased worked fine, but started to fail just passed 2 year warranty. 2nd - Thermaltake software is crap, usb error constantly, sometimes screen would work sometimes it would not. Bought this Kraken Elite, temps back to normal, while idle about 35-40c during summertime (room is warmer), during games 55-60c. Software works perfectly, Screen is huge and beautiful. Super satisfied.

Nzxt 240mm AIO RGB review
Good product! I love nzxt karken only brand id buy this cooler was a simple setup vs my other one i love how u can plug the qio cooler stuff in then u can plug the part into the AIO it self. I have no problems with this orderOnly thing i do dislike about shipping is when I ordered it it didn't come in a amazon box. It came in the regular nzxt box. That's the only complaint i have.

Obsessed!!
I love this cooler and the fans perform well. It was extremely easy to install the bracket and put it in the computer and the cords are very organized. I’m very happy with my purchase!

Works well, but common issues with fan splitter
This is a great CPU cooler. It keeps my CPU much cooler than the air cooler I had before. It also fits in my mini-itx case, which is a huge win. The set up was pretty simple and the paper instructions ensured that I didn't make any mistakes. However, the fan connectors do not work on my system, after researching, I found to be a common problem. What I mean is that there is a cable that can fit three fans included in this AIO, but with the two fans included, when plugged into my sys_fan plug on my GIGABYTE Z590I AORUS motherboard, the connector cable does not power the fans enough. The fix to this was to not use this cable and instead plug in the fans separately. This works, but I had to buy a separate fan splitter for my other fans. A little annoying, but not the end of the world.

As expected.
I have been a fan of NZXT Kraken AIOs for years. This is my fifth "Kraken" build, and the AIO has been running 48 continous hours with no issues. I did replace the OEM fans with Noctua NF-A14s, so I can't evaluate the NZXT fans.Running in silent mode, it is maintaining an i7-9700K (not overclocked) at approximately 20 degrees (Farenheit) over ambient (102 / 83).In my experience, the 280mm Krakens with Noctua NF-A14 routinely out perform most 360mm AIO. If it will fit, IMHO you can't go wrong with one of these.

works great
Running strong after 9 mo. Hooked up to a 7950X3d which puts out some heat. Maintains temp very well.

I can actually hear the game now
Way better than the original liquid cooler that came with the machine. Seeing 60-70C gaming with the fan a notch or two above idle while gaming. Previous one sounded like a jet with the fans maxed and the CPU throttling itself to prevent over heating during gaming. The difference between the two is amazing.

Temps fine, looks good, functions well, assembly is easy
Perfectly adequate temperatures on a 9900X3D. It's $100 less than the Elite line of Kraken AIOs, so I can forgive a lesser display in the pump assembly, but it's a shame it's so much smaller. Makes gifs look a bit wonky.It doesn't detect the temperature of my RX 9070 XT for whatever reason, so if you want to use the dual infographic for cpu/gpu temperatures in CAM, you might run into compatibility issues.The fans on this AIO being a full unit, not 3 separate fans, does help with ease of installation but it does feel a bit anti-consumer. You can't simply reuse those would-be 3 fans elsewhere if desired, like when the AIO dies. I wouldn't buy the product again simply because of that. Reduced the stars down to 4 because of this, it really did irk me.
