NZXT Kraken Core 360 RGB Black – RL-KR36C-B1
The NZXT Kraken Core 360 RGB Black (RL-KR36C-B1) is a streamlined 360mm AIO liquid CPU cooler featuring a powerful 3100 RPM pump, an F360 RGB Core single-frame fan array, and vibrant motherboard-controlled ARGB lighting. Designed for modern Intel and AMD processors, it delivers strong cooling performance with simplified installation and clean cable management.
Product Overview
The NZXT Kraken Core 360 RGB Black combines reliable liquid cooling with a clean, builder-friendly design. Its 397 × 120 × 27mm aluminum radiator is paired with an F360 RGB Core single-frame fan array, integrating three 120mm fans into one frame to reduce cables and simplify installation. The fans operate from 500–2400 RPM, delivering up to 75.05 CFM airflow and 3.07 mmH₂O static pressure.
A 3100 ±310 RPM pump and copper cold plate provide efficient CPU heat transfer, while both the pump and fan assembly feature RGB lighting. Unlike more complex controller-based solutions, the Kraken Core connects directly to the motherboard, with lighting controlled through a standard 5V ARGB header. It supports the latest Intel LGA1851/1700 and AMD AM5/AM4 platforms.
