April 19th, 2023, Los Angeles, CA – NZXT, a leader in PC gaming hardware and services, today announces the release of the Kraken and Kraken Elite. This new generation of popular coolers offers NZXT’s coveted design and high-quality cooling while displaying essential data via NZXT CAM, a free software allowing users to monitor, control, and customize their NZXT products.
These new products are the latest versions of their award-winning all-in-one liquid CPU coolers series, the Kraken X-3 and Kraken Z-3 series. The Kraken Elite offers a 2.36″ LCD screen with higher resolution and frame rate, better viewing angle, and higher color accuracy. This screen can display data from NZXT CAM and static or animated images with more clarity. The Kraken features a 1.54″ LCD screen that can display system temperatures and static images from NZXT CAM.
The all-new Kraken series is available in 240mm, 280mm, and 360mm sizes, offering outstanding performance with a quietly efficient 7th-generation Asetek pump. Users can choose from the High Static Pressure F Series fans or the new F Series Core RGB fans, which can efficiently cool the latest CPUs from Intel and AMD. In addition, the installation process is simplified with a single breakout cable and reinforced tubes for enhanced durability.
Additionally, NZXT is launching RGB versions of their H5 Flow and H7 Flow and a retooled version of the H7 Elite. The H7 Elite comes pre-installed with the new F Series Core RGB fans and includes an RGB controller for an easy out-of-box RGB experience controlled by NZXT CAM.
NZXT CAM is also updated with new features for the Kraken Elite and Kraken Z-3 series, such as a dual infographic and carousel mode for displaying system data. With the integration of GIPHY, you can access a vast library of GIFs and add them to your Kraken’s screen quickly. The new web integration mode allows users to display data from websites like Google Photos, Spotify, or any website of your choosing, adding even more customization and function to their builds.
