NZXT Kraken Core 240 RGB AIO Liquid Cooler – Overview

The NZXT Kraken Core 240 RGB is a streamlined all-in-one liquid cooler designed to deliver strong, quiet CPU cooling with minimal setup complexity. Built around a high-speed pump and efficient 240mm radiator, it’s ideal for gaming rigs and productivity builds that demand reliable thermal performance without clutter. With motherboard-controlled RGB and simplified connectivity, the Kraken Core focuses on clean builds and hassle-free installation.

Cooling Performance

At the heart of the Kraken Core 240 RGB is a high-performance pump running up to 3,100 RPM, engineered to keep modern CPUs cool during intense gaming, streaming, and multitasking. The copper cold plate ensures efficient heat transfer from the CPU, while optimized coolant flow maintains stable temperatures under sustained loads.

Optimized Fans & Airflow

The cooler uses F240 RGB Core single-frame fans, designed for high static pressure to push air effectively through dense radiator fins. PWM control allows precise fan speed tuning, balancing cooling performance and noise levels based on your system’s needs.

RGB Lighting & Clean Aesthetics

The pump head and fans feature vibrant RGB lighting, customizable directly through your motherboard’s 5V ARGB header—no extra controllers or software required. The single-frame fan design reduces cable clutter and screws, helping maintain a clean, professional-looking build.

Easy Installation & Build Convenience

Installation is quick and beginner-friendly thanks to pre-applied thermal paste, tool-free mounting brackets, and flexible nylon-braided tubing for easy routing. Direct motherboard connectivity further simplifies cable management and speeds up the build process.

Wide Platform Compatibility

The Kraken Core 240 RGB supports the latest platforms, including Intel LGA 1851 and AMD AM5, making it a future-ready cooling solution for new-generation CPUs as well as older systems.
