Absolute satisfaction, both with the cooling performance (50 C does not exceed in normal operation i9 14900K) and with the software to the product.

Hi, I definitely recommend it: -). It's going really well, it surprised me. Installation is more complicated at first but everything is labeled in the package so it's easy - I used the kit for Intel, LGA1700. AMD kit is included. The price is higher but I don't regret it just because of the 60 months warranty: -)
Super design
Beautifully legible display
Functionality
NZXT CAM app
All in one package (for Intel and AMD)
Nothing's working great: -)

This is my third water cooling system from NZXT. For the first time I bought a top AIO under this brand, and I do not regret this choice at all. Is the display worth the extra cost? Absolutely. Admittedly, I'm not one of those gamers who slowly watches a movie on a cooler, but as a result, it's very nice that one can fully customize the display. The color quality and saturation is great, and the stats displayed on the screen are awesome. The AIO is very quiet unless you are gaming. If you're editing 4K (I shoot in lossless quality, definitely makes the PC sweat), the water cooling is fairly quiet. For gaming, it's already somewhat worse and indeed, so far, this is my noisiest cooling. I mean, sometimes I really need to step it up on the speakers. On the other hand, it can cool even 14900K, the base paste holds temperatures up to 50°C. But be warned, once in a while the NZXT app throws me a setting where the cooling responds to the temperature curve of the cooling medium, not the CPU. This is where the problem can occur, and the first day before I figured it out I had BSOD on some games. The CPU simply overheated.
Cool i9 14900k
The factory paste is good enough, it can hold temperatures around 40°C under load
Great design
Option to set the display appearance - gif/image/different values
NZXT software is great
The pump is quiet
In case of undemanding PC use, the Kraken is beautifully quiet
Display - its size and quality
Need to watch out for software settings, sometimes it reverts to default (problem with cooling performance reacting to fluid temperature instead of CPU)
If you want to cool a powerful processor, you have to go to the max, which you will definitely hear

We'll see how long it lasts, but so far I have nothing to complain about.
This is my first AiO water solution, I was originally deciding between air (Noctua NH-D15 chromax. black) or water Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280 and NZXT Kraken 280. Unfortunately I needed something to take away right away, so I ended up buying this slightly more expensive version, and I'm very happy. I liked the display on the Elite version better anyway: )
With the NZXT H7 Flow with black tempered glass, it looks great. It is intentionally the only thing that "shines" from the cabinet + it can be controlled through various profiles, brightness settings, off, undersaturation,. GIFs, etc.
For me fine software from NZXT. It was one of the reasons why I decided to get this AiO.
I haven't seen the Ryzen 7800X3D exceed 60°C yet, but I certainly haven't used the most demanding games and tests possible to challenge it either. Kraken takes on the sausage, and super quietly gets in front of it: )
The silent setting does not significantly reduce cooling performance, and the watermaker is "almost" inaudible when working in Windows. We'll see how it will be under total game load, but I can say that if two people are talking in the room, even in a low voice, they probably won't hear the waterman at all.
The paste on the processor is already pre-made from the factory, which can be a negative for some if you want to use something better, but so far I have nothing to complain about it, on the contrary, I found it sympathetic, and it would definitely not be an obstacle for me to buy.
Since I built my gaming PC, I have "uploaded" the most time in my search. GIFs to backlight the LCD panel of this waterman: D
The fans could perhaps be a little quieter. If my life depended on it, and I had to decide blindfolded whether the computer was on or not, I would probably still "perceive" the waterman as on in a completely silent room. I'm considering whether to replace the original fans with Be Quiet or Noctua, but I admit myself that this is already a level of nitpick: )

Appearance
It keeps the processor temperature at render to 50-60C, which I find incredibly good for an i9 12900k +- at around 80C on tests
Variable Display, everything can be set there.
The pump itself is quiet enough
The preset paste is of sufficient quality
Noise, when it spins up you can really hear it
The price may be too much for a lot of people, but the processor temperatures match the price tag

For me a nice AIO cooler, although expensive, but for the gadgets you just pay extra. The only thing to be careful of when installing is to use washers under the screws that you use to bolt the fans to the radiator, otherwise you will screw the radiator waves through. If the RGB controller in the NZXT software doesn't work to change the RGB, try fiddling with the cable connections in the RGB controller (try changing the order of the cables).
