Result and general impression …
As the smallest model in the NZXT water cooling lineup, the Kraken Core 360 RGB water cooler certainly holds its own. With its 360mm radiator and excellent triple-fan setup, it provides sufficient cooling for any current Intel or AMD desktop CPU. In addition, the Kraken Core 360 RGB water cooler has enough performance headroom to be suitable even for particularly quiet PC builds.
Build quality and material feel are also top-notch. The only thing missing is a VRM fan.
On the other hand, the LED lighting on the pump and fans is visually appealing, beautifully showcasing the cooler. But even without the LED lighting activated, the Kraken Core water cooler impresses with its simple yet elegant design.
Priced at around 100 Euro, the NZXT Kraken Core RGB CPU water cooler offers a balanced price-to-performance ratio and thus deservedly receives our OCinside.de Buy Recommendation Award!
For a comparison with other coolers, it is worth taking a look at our last CPU cooler comparison on the Intel Core i5 PC and the CPU cooler comparison 2018, tested on an AMD AM4 PC system. Here is the CPU cooler chart 2016 on the Intel Core i5 PC and the CPU cooler comparison 2016, tested on an Intel Core i7 PC system. And here is the previous CPU cooler chart with CPU coolers before 2016. However, a direct comparison with our previously tested coolers is not possible, as the test system has changed fundamentally in the meantime.
