The NZXT RL-KN36E-B2 Kraken Elite 360 V2 is an advanced all-in-one liquid CPU cooler engineered to combine top-tier thermal performance with a stunning visual centerpiece. It targets builders and gamers who want both efficiency and aesthetic flair.
Premium Cooling & Pump Design
At its heart sits the NZXT Turbine pump—a custom pump designed to deliver both high flow and head pressure while maintaining low noise. This helps the cooler better push coolant through the radiator and maintain optimal CPU temperatures under heavy load.
Radiator & Fan Configuration
The cooler uses a 360 mm aluminum radiator (401 × 120 × 27 mm) that effectively dissipates heat when paired with its three high static-pressure F120P PWM fans. These fans operate in the speed range of 500-2000 RPM, offering strong airflow (≈ 73.47 CFM) while maintaining a noise ceiling around 30 dB(A) in typical use.
Zero RPM mode turns the fans off entirely during light loads to ensure silent operation.
Display & Lighting Integration
A standout feature is the 2.72″ IPS LCD mounted on the pump head. With a resolution of 640 × 640 px and a refresh rate of 60 Hz, it displays system stats, GIFs, images, and integrates with streaming or media content. The LCD is surrounded by an RGB ring that synchronizes with your lighting setup.
Installation & Build Features
Installation is streamlined: the cooler comes with pre-applied thermal paste, a single breakout cable, and mounting hardware compatible with both modern Intel and AMD sockets. Tubing consists of CIIR rubber sleeves with braided PET for flexibility and leak resistance.
Compatibility & Support
The Kraken Elite 360 V2 supports a wide range of CPU sockets: Intel LGA 1851 / 1700 / 1200 / 115X and AMD AM5 / AM4.
The manufacturer provides a 6-year warranty on parts.
Use Cases & Benefits
-
High-end gaming rigs and overclocked systems where thermal headroom is critical
-
Showcase builds where the LCD and RGB visuals enhance aesthetics
-
Quiet systems thanks to high-efficiency pump and zero-RPM mode
-
Users who want customizable display elements (system monitoring, GIFs, media)
Considerations & Limitations
-
The LCD and additional electronics add cost and complexity
-
Cable routing must consider the added display cable overhead
-
In extreme overclocking, a larger or more advanced cooling solution may still be necessary
-
Compatibility depends on clearance in your case—ensure your chassis supports 360 mm radiators
