NZXT Kraken Elite 360 RGB detailed setup guide (Intel and AMD and other fan options)

Here's a detailed installation guide on the NZXT Kraken Elite 360 RGB where I'm showing you all the steps to setup and wire this all in one cooler.

In this video I'm demoing the setup for both Intel LGA1700 socket motherboards and AMD AM5 socket motherboards too. I am also showing the wiring logic and include how to swap the fans for NZXT's single frame F360 RGB core fans if you want to. With timestamps you can also see everything you need, including the guide for NZXT Cam at the end of the video.

I've also talked about how front mounting as intake might be the best depending on your case, be sure to check the related videos to find out more about that!
