NZXT released two new liquid coolers for DIY PC builds titled the 'Kraken' and 'Kraken Elite.' Both liquid coolers are comparable in their specifications with the exception being that the screen on the pump of the Kraken Elite features a higher resolution, improved color accuracy, and more customization options. This screen can be used to display critical PC information such as the temperature of the CPU or the coolant, or it can be used to display a GIF or video of the user's choice to add more flare to the build.
The Kraken and Kraken Elite coolers are available in sizes that range from 240mm to 360mm, and are available at each size in standard or RGB varieties. The MSRP begins at $139.99 for the Kraken 240 and reaches up to $219.99 for the Kraken Elite 360 RGB.
