NZXT Kraken Plus 360 RGB AIO CPU Liquid Cooler - Custom LCD Display

In this review the NZXT Kraken Plus 360 RGB is assessed as a high-end all-in-one liquid cooler aimed at builders who want strong thermal performance plus visual customization. The biggest reason to consider it is the combination of a powerful NZXT Turbine pump and the bright 1.54' square LCD that allows real-time temps, custom images or animated GIFs; that display plus the included RGB Core fans make it both functional and a focal point in a white build. Installation is straightforward, and the package balances performance, looks, and ease of use.

Key Features

• High-performance pump: The NZXT Turbine pump delivers high flow and head pressure to keep CPU temperatures controlled under heavy workloads.
• Custom LCD screen: The 1.54' square LCD can show system temps, animated GIFs or custom images, making monitoring and personalization quick via NZXT CAM.
• Integrated RGB fans: The F360 RGB Core single-frame fans produce strong airflow and vibrant lighting while simplifying installation with only four screws and one cable per fan.
• Easy installation: Pre-applied thermal paste and a single breakout cable from the pump cap reduce steps and cable clutter when mounting the cooler.
• Wide socket support: Tool-free mounting brackets support current AMD and Intel sockets including AM5 and LGA 1851 for broad compatibility.

Who It's For

The Kraken Plus 360 RGB is ideal for PC builders who need a 360mm radiator solution for high-performance CPUs and who value a customizable display on the pump cap; content creators, gamers, and enthusiasts who want both cooling headroom and visual flair will appreciate this unit. The combination of the Turbine pump and three high-performance fans keeps temperatures in check under sustained loads while the LCD provides on-system telemetry and personalization.

Users with very small cases or those who prefer air coolers should look elsewhere, as the 360mm radiator requires adequate case support and clearance. If silence at all times is the top priority, note that customer feedback on noise is mixed: some find it quiet, while others report louder operation under heavy load.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Strong cooling performance from the custom Turbine pump and 360mm radiator for demanding CPUs.
• Customizable 1.54' LCD lets you display temps, images or GIFs directly on the pump cap for easy monitoring and style.
• Cleaner installation with pre-applied thermal paste and a single breakout cable for reduced cable management work.
• Attractive single-frame RGB fans that balance airflow and lighting with minimal fuss.

Cons

• Display is a small square and some users note it can feel limited for detailed information or visuals.
• Noise level receives mixed feedback; it can be quieter for some builds but louder under heavy sustained loads for others.
