Much respect, you do an amazing job with ALL of your installation guide throughs.

[kobbyg]

Just finished installing this AIO, and two single frames and a back mounted fan! (I commented on your previous video). I also followed this one for the detailed last few steps on the AIO installation. Thanks! this was really helpful.

[cheekster]

Happy Thanksgiving my friend.

Thank you.

[stefansamos]

I love your videos!! Keep it going mannn.

[scarbucks_]

Video I've been looking forward to for awhile now, Happy Thanksgiving!

[Suuri_Gurke]

Cool video, i love the new changes they did to the wiring, i wish i would have this in my normal kraken elite!

[APEX-V]

You didn’t start with the “hellooo this is the provoked prawn”

[stefansamos]

Also, one quick question: I will be using Linux for this. 1) is there any software on Linux compatible with the next kraken so I can control the display? If not, can I use the pump at least with my internal motherboard header? Or will it only control speed within CAM? 2) if there is no display control within Linux, does the display work by default? What does it show when it is powered on by default? Thanks prawn love your videos btw!! ❤

Thank you for the video mate!
NZXT has really nice quality and minimalist aesthetic build. However I just ordered the KRaken Elite 360 Previous version because this new version has too much of big screen to my taste and the cables are don't look that great when they are coming from the radiator, not the pump. And the previous version is already expensive enough, but this new one is soooo expensive krkr
Anyway, I really like your guides and videos, much appreciated Dude! ^^
Btw, I just ordered a full nzxt build: Kraken Elite 360 (2023), F120 DUO fans (they look much better than the newer ones) and the fan controller. I like consistency

[Verition]

LOL what a timing i just received this cooler an hour ago

[_Hailtotheking]

i made a build with this recently, i get alot of issues with gpu temp freezing and not updating, somtimes no data will be received by the cooler, works...then it doesnt .

[roberthenry]

I like the new fans but I wish they also made them like the duos. Just the ring around the fan

[christian.locke]

is it right, that i cant use lian li infinity radiators? Becaus i cant connect the cable for the rgbs with the lian li controller?!

[rengoku]

hello i have this aio but for some reason in cam software it is telling me that no nzxt devices were found do you know a fix for this?

[definitelynotdominick]

Loved how detailed and in depth this video was. Do you think this cooler would look good in the Montech King 95 Pro?

[deanpartridge]

I always like to go fixed on pump at 75%. Stops thst horrible high pitch whine all the nzxt aio pumps make. And silent on fans 😊

[scarbucks_]

Coming back to this, I'm wondering if you've had any problems with the screen showing the correct information? This cooler has worked fine for me up until a few days ago where I saw the screen flash a bit and now it's been stuck on the liquid temperature, no matter what settings I change. If you have any ideas it would be much appreciated, thanks!

[PeterPotensMusic]

How about that extra argb plug? Does that have to go to the motherboard or you leave it unused?

[grkc]

Have you experienced the light ring sometimes flickering / flashing? Mine does this occasionally, but I just got another one and it does the same thing! Im hoping it’s just a CAM issue.

[vistel]

mr provoked prawn please enlighten me why does only the middle fan on my radiator have rgb every fan on the radiator spins but the left and right ones dont have rgb
