420mm Kraken Elite V2 All-in-One CPU Cooler from NZXT

Lian Li LANCOOL 207 Digital Mid Tower PC Gaming Case

Future-Ready, Familiar FitThe Kraken Elite V2 is more than a cooler—it’s a centrepiece. Its triple-fan RGB Core unit fuses three 140mm fans into a single frame, generating high static pressure with minimal noise, perfect for dense fin stacks and airflow-first chassis layouts. Above the pump, a 2.72” IPS display surrounded by a glowing RGB ring adds a dynamic visual layer—showing system temps, custom logos, or animated graphics, all controlled through NZXT CAM. At its core, the Turbine Pump keeps coolant moving with quiet confidence, engineered for sustained thermal load without the usual hum or vibration. Everything’s tied together with durable mesh tubing, clean breakout cabling, and a design that looks as sharp as it performs—no clutter, no compromise, just clarity and control.

2.7" IPS Water Block

Cool All AroundThe 2.72-inch IPS display sits dead center on the pump block, encircled by an RGB ring that adds a subtle visual edge. It’s not just a gimmick stuck on top—it’s integrated in a way that makes sense, with visibility and customisation baked in.

Radiate Your StyleAround the block encircles a responsive RGB ring with dynamic lighting effects you can sync with what's going on in the screen, such as a repeat of your favourite GIF, a still image, or real-time performance stats. You can also integrate with Spotify and Youtube embeds too!

Towering Above All

NZXT RGB Core® FansA triple 140 mm fan unit housed in a single frame, delivering high static pressure for efficient radiator cooling. The unified design enhances airflow while keeping installation simple and tidy.


Durable TubingReinforced rubber tubing wrapped in a dense polyester braid protects against wear, kinks, and heat fatigue. Built to handle long sessions and constant use without degrading.


One Connector, One StepA single breakout cable links all fans directly to the motherboard, cutting down on clutter and simplifying the build process—clean, efficient, and hassle-free.

Fitted with NZXT RGB Core™ Fans

PWM PowerRGB Core fans push up to 98.61 CFM with 3.2mm H₂O static pressure, spinning at 2000 ±200 RPM—ideal for dense radiators and high-restriction setups.

8 LEDs Per FanEach fan features 8 addressable RGB LEDs with full effect and colour control via NZXT CAM—no extra hubs, just plug in and customise.

Zero RPM ModeThe F420 RGB Core runs whisper-quiet under pressure and supports Zero RPM mode, letting it stop completely during low loads for true silent operation.

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.

Customise with NZXT CAM™

ARGB SequencingNZXT CAM acts as the central hub for your AIO’s performance and visuals. It gives you real-time access to fan and pump speeds, letting you tune behaviour to match your workload or keep things quiet when idle.

PWM ControlLighting effects across the RGB Core fans and LED ring are fully controlled through NZXT CAM. Sync colours, set patterns, or match your rig’s overall theme—all with precision, no extra controllers needed.

Track Your StatsThe IPS screen on the pump can be customised through NZXT CAM to show system temps, custom images, or animated GIFs. It’s easy to switch, easy to preview, and always live.
