Product details

The NZXT Kraken 280 is a liquid cooler with an LCD display. It offers cool performance, easy installation, and a display for system data or custom images. The LCD screen, with a diameter of 3.91 inches, delivers a clear picture. The powerful, quiet fan from the Static Pressure F-Series enables excellent heat dissipation. The 7th generation Asetek pump ensures that the Kraken stays cool at 2800 RPM and operates quietly. Installation is simplified by a single breakout cable, which minimizes the chances of errors during setup. The liquid tubes are protected with reinforced nylon braiding, providing added durability and hassle-free handling.
