Description

The NZXT Kraken 280 Black Non-RGB Liquid Cooler is a high-performance 280mm All-In-One (AIO) liquid cooling solution designed to efficiently manage CPU temperatures while maintaining a sleek, minimalist aesthetic. This cooler is ideal for users seeking robust cooling performance without the added lighting effects.

Equipped with a 280mm aluminum radiator, the Kraken 280 ensures effective heat dissipation, making it suitable for both gaming and professional applications. The cooler includes two 140mm F Series Static Pressure fans, each operating at speeds ranging from 500 to 1,500 ± 150 RPM. These fans deliver an airflow of 33.22 to 99.68 CFM with a static pressure of 0.91 to 2.75 mm-H₂O, ensuring optimal cooling performance. Despite their efficiency, the fans maintain a low noise profile, operating between 19.4 to 32.1 dBA, thanks to the Fluid Dynamic Bearings that also enhance longevity.

The pump operates at speeds between 800 to 2,800 ± 300 RPM, ensuring rapid coolant circulation. It features a 1.54-inch square LCD display on the pump head, customizable via NZXT CAM software. This display allows users to monitor system performance metrics or personalize their build with custom images and animations.

Compatibility is broad, supporting AMD sockets AM5, AM4, sTRX4, TR4**, and Intel sockets LGA 1700, 1200, 115X. The cooler connects via a 4-pin PWM fan connector and a 12V DC, 0.3A pump connector, ensuring seamless integration with most modern motherboards.

The tubing is constructed from ultra-low evaporation rubber with a nylon braided sleeve, providing durability and flexibility while minimizing coolant loss over time. The radiator measures 143 x 315 x 30mm, and each fan measures 140 x 140 x 26mm, making the Kraken 280 suitable for a variety of case sizes.

Backed by a 6-year warranty, the NZXT Kraken 280 Black Non-RGB Liquid Cooler offers users peace of mind, ensuring long-term reliability and performance.
