NZXT Kraken 360 RGB VS NZXT Kraken Elite 360 RGB, What’s the Differences and Similarities? Which one is better?

We have all seen these epic PC builds from:

White setups like these

Or any color all the way to black PC builds. Lately PC builds and setups are all the crazy. Fully immersed in the cozy, peace-in-your-space kind of vibes.

There are usually two ways people get color specific PCs:

  1. Buy a Custom Prebuilt
  2. Build your own

As PC building can become costly you may have chosen to build your own. Power to you , I have as well. Remember to cry it out and have patience~

One part when building a PC is the CPU cooler, which directly cooler your CPU (think of it like a cooler for the brain )

One of the most aesthetically popular CPU coolers right now is the NZXT Kraken RGB CPU Coolers. The NZXT Kraken comes in Multiple CPU Cooler Diameters, when choosing a CPU cooler you need to look at the size your tower can hold , AKA radiator size.

Today I will be diving into the 360mm Diameter CPU cooler, 3 fans !

Similarities

  • Motor speed and material on Radiator
  • Same Tube length and Material
  • Essentially the same fans, minor diff in aesthetics

Differences

  • Elite has bigger Water block diameter
  • LCD screen is 2.36 Diameter on the Elite VS 1.54 Square
  • LCD 640 Res on the Elite vs 240 Res
  • LCD brightness 690cd/m on Elite VS 300cd/m

When considering which CPU Cooler to get , the major difference is the LCD screen

So all-in-all Flat out which one should you get?

For about an 80$ difference between the regular NZXT 360 RGB vs the NZXT Elite 360 CPU Cooler, it is all in the screen.

Personally for me, why are you getting this CPU vs others that are more affordable?

A. It is because you want the look. The cool looking RGB fans with the LCD that shows cute Gifs that plays when your show off your PC.

So I’d say if you can spare the 80$ go for the NZXT Elite 360 RGB CPU Cooler, it’s not often you’d be changing out CPU Cooler unless they go faulty. However if you’d get the Regular NZXT 360 RGB CPU Cooler you might get annoyed of the black rim and end up buy the NZXT Elite 360 RGB version soon after like I did.

However, if you are absolutely for sure you don’t care about the LCD screen , save yourself 80$ and go for the Regular NZXT 360 RGB CPU Cooler.

Hope that helps bestie~ Happy shopping!
