Customisation, Display & Build-Quality

One of the standout features of the Kraken Elite 240 RGB is its integrated 2.36-inch (or in updated versions 2.72-inch) full-colour display mounted on the pump block. This display enables you to show system statistics (like CPU temperature, clock speed, fan speed), custom GIFs or images, and even animate visuals in synchrony with your rig—making it a centrepiece for showcase builds. The unit includes full RGB lighting support around the pump cap and fans, enabling seamless harmony with your system’s lighting ecosystem. Premium materials such as reinforced tubing, quality bearings and durable pump assembly ensure long-term reliability and clean aesthetics.
