The short version
The Kraken Plus 360 RGB is a 360 mm AIO with the NZXT Turbine pump, a 1.54-inch 240 x 240 LCD and an F360 RGB Core single-frame fan array rated up to 2,400 RPM. Tom's Hardware found it near-inaudible by default and ahead of rivals when pushed, while PC Gamer scored it 84 and liked the install but criticized its breakout-cable design. It costs less than the Kraken Elite, with a much smaller screen, and fan speeds need NZXT CAM.
Pros
- Excellent cooling for its noise level and high full-speed capacity, per Tom's Hardware
- Near-inaudible at default settings, per Tom's Hardware
- Six-year warranty and Turbine pump rated 1,200 to 2,800 RPM
- Keeps an LCD at a lower list price than the Kraken Elite
Cons
- Fan curves depend on NZXT CAM software, per Tom's Hardware
- Small 1.54-inch display compared with the Elite's 2.72-inch screen
- PC Gamer faulted its single breakout-cable design
Best for
- Mid-range builds that want an LCD without Elite pricing
- Quiet-focused builds comfortable with NZXT CAM

What reviewers and owners say
Tom's Hardware
PositiveTom's Hardware measured near-inaudible default operation and class-beating cooling with the fans pushed, plus excellent noise-normalized numbers, though it disliked that fan speeds need software and that the screen is small.

MixedPC Gamer scored it 84, happy with the looks, install and cooling, but unhappy with the breakout-cable layout and felt the small CPU block and fans limit efficiency.
