Description
The NZXT Kraken Plus 360 RGB represents a significant evolution in all-in-one liquid cooling, integrating the high-flow NZXT Turbine pump with a vibrant 1.54-inch TFT LCD screen. This thermal solution is engineered to handle the intense heat loads of modern multi-core processors while providing a centralized hub for system telemetry and visual expression. The split-flow copper cold plate is specifically designed to target CPU hotspots, ensuring that even under heavy synthetic loads, temperatures remain within optimal operating ranges.
This product is for:
- Hardcore Gamers: Provides stable thermal overhead for long gaming sessions on high-end CPUs like the Core i9 or Ryzen 9.
- Creative Professionals: Ensures quiet operation during CPU-intensive video rendering and 3D modeling tasks.
- PC Customizers: Offers a 1.54-inch canvas for GIFs and Spotify integration to match any desk aesthetic.
- System Builders: Simplifies the assembly process with pre-applied thermal paste and a single-frame fan design that reduces cable clutter.
- Overclockers: Utilizes a high-head pressure Turbine pump to maximize heat dissipation through the 360mm aluminum radiator.

Operating the Kraken Plus 360 RGB is centered around the NZXT CAM software ecosystem. The 1.54-inch screen allows for 18-bit color depth, making system temperatures or custom GIFs appear crisp and fluid at 30Hz. Installation is streamlined via the F360 RGB Core fan, which uses a single 8-pin connector for both PWM and RGB signals, drastically reducing the cable clutter typically associated with 360mm radiators. The reinforced rubber tubing with nylon braiding provides both flexibility and long-term permeation resistance, ensuring the coolant remains contained over the product's six-year lifespan.
Compared to traditional triple-fan AIOs, the Kraken Plus 360 RGB stands out through its integrated fan frame, which eliminates the need for multiple interlocking cables. While standard coolers offer basic RGB, the Kraken Plus provides deep software integration for Spotify and YouTube metadata display. Its Turbine pump is specifically tuned for higher head pressure and flow rates, ensuring efficient coolant movement through the 27mm thick radiator even at lower noise levels compared to generic Asetek-based alternatives.
Q&A:
- Does the NZXT Kraken Plus 360 RGB support the new Intel LGA 1851 socket? Yes, it includes out-of-the-box mounting hardware for both Intel LGA 1851 and 1700, as well as AMD AM5.
- Can I display my own images on the LCD screen? Users can upload custom GIFs or static images through the NZXT CAM software, which also supports web-based integrations for real-time data.
- How many cables are required for the fans? The F360 RGB Core fan uses a single-frame design with one 8-pin cable to manage power and lighting for all three fans simultaneously.
- What is the expected lifespan of the cooling fans? The Fluid Dynamic Bearings (FDB) in the F360 fans are rated for 60,000 hours of continuous operation.
- Is the thermal paste pre-applied? Yes, the copper cold plate comes with high-quality thermal interface material pre-applied for immediate installation.
