Review: Coolest part of my build - I’m blown away by the quality of this aio. The quality of the picture is even better than it looks in the video, it’s truly stunning. It was super easy to install and is silent. It’s a shame the white version doesn’t have white wires coming from the top but it’s a small issue. The software works perfectly and gives quite a lot of options for the fans as well, but I didn’t bother much as mine are on the top and so not really seen. I’ve been running Baldurs Gate 3 at 4K all max settings and the CPU hasn’t gone above 50C so cooling is top notch. Really cool piece of kit and the favourite thing in my build.

I already have the NZCT Flo Pro case so decided to go with NZXT for a cooler and I’m not disappointed! Straight from the opening of the box, it oozes quality. Everything is well packaged, the instructions are easy to understand (if you are a seasoned builder) and popping it into my PC took me about 15 minutes. There is thermal paste pre-applied to the cooler as well which is always handy. I already had NZXT Cam installed as I have it on all builds that I complete to monitor temperatures as I find it to be the most reliable, and it picked up the cooler immediately. It just needed to update some firmware which took a couple of minutes and everything was connected perfectly. Within NZXT Cam you can control the speeds of the fans to help adjust airflow, however I have mine set to do this automatically. Compared with my Corsair CPU cooler, it is keeping the CPU around 5-7 degrees cooler. The fan rpm is no different, so I think this cooler is just better overall (I’m running an i5-12400 currently so nothing massively taxing). The LCD screen has so many options to choose from within NZXT Cam, you can upload your own images or gifs, display temperatures, connect to YouTube… it’s just ace. It is just a square in the middle of the circle which is used, the more expensive model fills the full circle if this is something you’re looking for. I wasn’t, I just wanted to display the temps and time and to have a cooler that worked properly! I’d recommend this cooler as it’s just fabulous! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/527136909-kraken-elite-280-rgb-rl-kr28e-b1-280mm-aio-cpu](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/527136909-kraken-elite-280-rgb-rl-kr28e-b1-280mm-aio-cpu) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
