Frequently Asked Questions

What CPU sockets does the Kraken Elite 240 RGB support?

The Kraken Elite 240 RGB supports Intel LGA 1851, 1700, 1200 and 115X sockets, plus AMD AM5 and AM4. It's NZXT CAM compatible, so once it's installed you can set pump and fan speeds, customize the LCD and sync lighting from one app.

Will the Kraken Elite 240 RGB radiator fit in my case?

The Kraken Elite 240 RGB radiator is 281 mm long and 27 mm thick, with 400 mm of tubing. Check that your case lists 240 mm radiator support and has room for that length plus the 26 mm thick fan array.

What kind of LCD screen does the Kraken Elite 240 RGB have?

The Kraken Elite 240 RGB has a 69 mm (2.72 in) IPS display at 640 x 640 px, with up to 690 cd/m² brightness and 16.7 million colors. Orientation is software adjustable in 30° steps, so it reads correctly however you mount the pump.

What fans come with the Kraken Elite 240 RGB?

The Kraken Elite 240 RGB ships with one F240 RGB Core Fan: two 120 mm fans in a single frame. It spins from 500 to 2,400 RPM on fluid dynamic bearings, and one 8-pin connector carries both PWM and RGB, so there's a single cable to route.

What pump does the Kraken Elite 240 RGB use, and what's the warranty?

The Kraken Elite 240 RGB uses the NZXT Turbine pump, running from 1,200 to 2,800 RPM over a copper cold plate. A breakout cable set is included, and the cooler is covered by a 6-year warranty. It comes in White and Black.
