NZXT has just released the newest generation of their popular All-in-One Liquid Coolers - the Kraken and Kraken Elite. The award-winning series is renowned for its coveted design and exceptional cooling; along with free software (NZXT CAM) that shows vital data while allowing users to easily customise and control their product. The new Krakens incorporate Asetek's 7th-Generation of liquid cooling technology which provides targeted cooling of CPUs, outstanding gameplay, greater overclocking potential, and a unique level of personalisation and creativity.
"Innovation combined with quality and reliability are at our core, which is why we continue to partner with Asetek for our portfolio of industry-leading liquid cooling solutions," said Johnny Hou, CEO at NZXT. "We worked hand-in-glove with Asetek to define and develop our new Kraken and Kraken Elite. The result is extreme performance, quieter operation, phenomenal reliability, and some stunning aesthetics for the ultimate in personalisation."
The new Kraken Elite sports a 2.36” LCD screen with higher resolution and frame rate; improved viewing angle and colour accuracy; and can display data from NZXT CAM or animated static images with greater clarity. The new Kraken features a 1.54” LCD screen that can display system temperatures and static images from NZXT CAM. Both are available in 240mm, 280mm, and 360mm radiator sizes, and can be combined with either NZXT’s High Static Pressure F Series fans or new F Series Core RGB fans for efficient cooling of the latest CPUs from Intel and AMD.
Additionally, NZXT CAM has also been updated with some new features for the Kraken Elite and Kraken Z-3 Series. These include a dual infographic and carousel mode for displaying system data; integration of GIPHY, allowing users to access a vast library of GIFs and add them to their Kraken’s screen; and a new browser stream mode, allowing users to display data from websites like Google Photos, Spotify, or any website you choose, adding even more customisation and function to their builds.
