NZXT Kraken Core 360 RGB liquid cooler, 3 × 120 mm, LGA 1851/AM5, Black

The NZXT Kraken Core 360 RGB is a black 360 mm all-in-one liquid cooler for your CPU, with a 3100 rpm pump and three 120 mm PWM fans in a single frame. The RGB lighting plugs straight into the motherboard's 5 V ARGB header, so no separate controller is needed.

  • Type: liquid cooling kit, 360 mm radiator, 3 × 120 mm fans in a single frame
  • Supported sockets: LGA 1150, LGA 1151, LGA 1155, LGA 1156, LGA 1200, LGA 1700, LGA 1851, Socket AM4, Socket AM5
  • Pump: 3100 rpm, copper base, pre-applied thermal paste
  • Fans: 500–2400 rpm, fluid dynamic bearing, PWM, up to 31.9 dB, 75.05 m³/h airflow
  • Radiator and tubing: aluminium, 397 × 120 × 27 mm, 400 mm tubes
  • Lighting: 19 LEDs, controlled via the motherboard's 5 V ARGB header

Description

Simple installation with no extra controller

The three fans sit in one frame, so there are fewer screws and cables than with separate fans. The brackets mount without tools, thermal paste is already on the pump and the flexible tubes are 400 mm long. The high static pressure fans spin at 500–2400 rpm and follow the temperature through PWM control.

Who this liquid cooler is for

Gaming PC builders who want a black 360 mm cooler for a new LGA 1851 or AM5 platform, or for an older Intel or AMD board. Because the lighting runs through the motherboard, it can be set up in the same software that controls the RGB on the other components.
