NZXT KRAKEN Plus 280 Black 240mm All-In-One Hydro Cooler AIO Liquid Cooler RL-KN280-B2

280mm Kraken Plus All-in-One CPU Cooler with 1.54" LCD from NZXT Amp Up your Cooling GameCooling comes first with the NZX... moreT Kraken Plus. Every element is shaped around thermal controlfrom the efficient turbine-style pump to the finely tuned fan curve and reinforced tubing. At the centre, a sharp 1.54 LCD display pulses with real-time stats, custom images, or animated loops, framed by a vivid RGB ringall controlled through NZXT CAM. Beneath that, the Turbine Pump hums quietly, circulating coolant through a split-flow cold plate with steady, low-vibration efficiency. Paired fans are tuned for airflow and static pressure, ready to ramp when needed but smart enough to stay silent at idle, thanks to Zero RPM support. A built-in hub tidies up cables with a single breakout, while reinforced, braided tubing keeps everything running smoothheatproof, futureproof, and made to move with your system. 1.54" LCD Water Block Smart Square DisplayA new 1.54" square LCD delivers real-time system stats or your favourite custom visuals at 30Hz refresh. From CPU temps to pump speed, you get a live snapshot of whats happening under the hood. And thanks to NZXT CAM, the display becomes a personal canvasupload GIFs, logos, or monitoring widgets and keep it functional and stylish. 240x240Resolution 30HzRefresh Rate LCDPanel Stands up to The Heat High Airflow, Low NoiseThe 140mm fans spin up to 1700 ± 170 RPM, delivering a max airflow of 93.20 CFM and air pressure of 4.45 mm H²O while keeping noise levels under 30 dBA. With zero RPM mode, fans stay off during low loads for near-silent operation, ramping up smoothly when cooling demand rises. Clean, Simple, ControlledA single breakout cable powers all fans and manages RGB lighting, cutting cable clutter and freeing motherboard headers. The built-in control hub lets you sync lighting and fan speeds easily through NZXT CAM. Power Meets PoiseDesigned to balance airflow and noise, the fans work with the pump to cool effectively under heavy use while staying quiet, creating a focused, distraction-free environment. Optimised Cold Plate Etched for EfficiencyThe split-flow cold plate allows coolant to move easily through the channels, ensuring even distribution across your AMD or Intel CPU surface for quick and efficient heat dissipation. Ready for ContactThe Kraken Plus includes a pre-applied pad of high-quality thermal compound, so theres no need to buy extraand your CPU gets the proper contact it deserves straight out of the box. Customise with NZXT CAM ARGB SequencingNZXT CAM serves as the command centre for your coolers lighting and performance.
