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 had seen it in many builds and decided to get it for mine. You can customise a lot with the NZXT programme.

It’s a shame the white version doesn’t have white wires coming from the top but it’s a small issue.

I had seen it in many builds and decided to get it for mine. You can customise a lot with the NZXT programme. It was very easy to install too and the display is really high quality for such a small screen. I love seeing the cooling performance in the app on my PC too. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best AIO with a display *by O***R on 12 September 2024* I recently finished my build with this AIO, and it's hands down the best AIO cooler out there with a display. It was also my first time using the NZXT CAM software, but it's very user friendly and allowed me endless customization on the ARGB fans and on the display. Even my friends are envious of the look and performance of my rig, and I can confidently say the Kraken Elite is a showstopper and the best part of my build! While it might be a bit on the pricier side, the features, customization and sheer visual appeal make it worth every penny. I can't complain. --- ## 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.sk/products/527136909-kraken-elite-280-rgb-280mm-aio-cpu-cooler-lcd-black](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/527136909-kraken-elite-280-rgb-280mm-aio-cpu-cooler-lcd-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-10-14*
