Designed to meet the needs of the most demanding configurations, the Kraken Elite 280 RGB combines power, silence and advanced customisation. Thanks to its cutting-edge cooling technology and meticulous design, it's much more than just a component: it's the centrepiece of your setup. It is equipped with RGB Core fans with a unique frame for optimum airflow and vibrant lighting with simplified connectivity.
The heart of the Kraken Elite 280 RGB is the NZXT Turbine pump, custom-designed to deliver high flow and head pressure. This innovation ensures powerful yet quiet cooling, with a significant 10% improvement in performance over the previous generation. High static pressure fans and Zero RPM mode ensure efficient heat dissipation, while remaining inaudible at low loads. The optimised cold plate maximises contact with Intel processors, ensuring exceptional thermal efficiency.
The 2.72-inch IPS LCD screen, combined with 640 x 640 pixel resolution and a 60 Hz refresh rate, delivers bright, fluid visuals. It can display real-time system information, personalised content (GIFs, images) and even integrations such as Spotify or YouTube. Thedynamic RGB ring around the screen can be synchronised with the content displayed or other RGB components, for complete and harmonious personalisation of your visual environment.
