This is the endgame of AIO - everything you could want here. I've used the Kraken series for years now and never a complaint. With the latest Elite series they finally have an issue that makes me go 'eh...' That sleeved cable that comes out between the tubes on the radiator. Ugly and impossible to manage and make look decent or able to hide it. Maybe the Elite+ will have a solution for it.

- GLGreg L.Verified BuyerReviewingKraken Elite 280 (2023)I do not recommend this productRated 1 out of 5 starsMay 8, 2025Was missing simple part and NZXT refused to send.
The kit was missing one of the four AMD 5 standoffs (about $0.05 worth of plastic). I had a limited window in which to build my computer and I needed it so I rigged the heat plate, which seemed to work fine but I was worried about lack of contact. I reached out to NZXT support hoping they could send the part and I could quickly reinstall the AIO, but they said I simply had to buy a whole bracketing kit from a third party seller in order to get the standoff. I complained and they offered to replace my AIO entirely, but they required me to send in the AIO I had before they would send a new one (note, other companies deal with this issue with a simple credit card charge that gets refunded when the unit gets sent in). I would have had to go without a computer for probably a week or two which was not feasible. Also the replacement of the whole unit seemed wasteful since I only needed one little piece of plastic. Overall terrible experience and I will not be buying anything from NZXT ever again because I ended up having to order the part myself which cost $15 as a kit plus $20 in shipping charges.
