The Kraken Core (2026) uses an Asetek Gen9V pump with an operating range of 1,200 – 3,000 ± 300 RPM. Unlike the previous generation Kraken Core (2025) cooler, the Kraken Core (2026) features full PWM speed control via a 4-pin PWM header and does not rely on external SATA power.
Pump Manufacturer | Asetek |
Generation | Gen 9V |
Connection Type | 4-pin PWM |
Pump Speed | 1,200 – 3,000 ± 300 RPM |
Power Spec | 12V DC, 0.45A (5.4W) |
Can I connect the 4-pin PWM cable to an NZXT Controller (i.e. Control Hub)?
It is not recommended to connect the 4-pin PWM header from the Kraken Core (2026) to any NZXT CAM Powered controller. For optimal performance, please only connect the 4-pin PWM cable either to a CPU_FAN or AIO_PUMP header on your PC's motherboard.
