Windows 10: NZXT fans not connected to CAM software

Hello, I just installed a new motherboard and when I went to download everything again the NZXT cam software was the only thing I had a problem with. When I loaded it and went to change the RGB the fans did not pop up as an option to change. The cooler although did. Not the RGB but being able to change the image on the AIO screen. I was wondering if I plugged something in wrong or in the wrong place. The fans are on and working, but stuck at the color white.

NZXT Cam Fan Issues

Ive been scratching my head here trying to figure this out.. I have 2 X62 kraken. One for cpu and gpu.. I have on the gpu one for about 3 months now some noctua fans. Today i went to install the same fans on the cpu in place of the NZXT fans and the new noctua ones wouldnt start unless at 100% on fan curve (yes it was on the pwm on the kraken splitter)... So I though maybe bad fans.. So i hooked them up to the other kraken and they work with no issues.. So i put the nzxt fans back in and they work fine with PWM.. So i tried hooking the Noctua up as a 3rd and 4th fan.. They both worked fine until i unplug one or the other NZXT fans.. No mater the arrangement on the splitter unless I have the 2 NZXT fans plugged in the nocuta ones will not turn.

NZXT Introduces Three Products with CAM Software Functionality

In May, NZXT introduced the world to its first piece of software, CAM. A simple companion for your PC, CAM brings cloud integration, mobile support and a modern user interface together to create an effortless PC management experience. Now, NZXT is proud to introduce the first three CAM compatible products, the GRID+, the Kraken X41 and the Kraken X61.

GRID+ is a digital fan controller with 6 channels and up to 30 watts total output. Working alongside CAM's desktop and mobile applications, the GRID+ software allows you to manually or automatically adjust and monitor your fan speeds with ease. Additionally, CAM will notify you of any abnormalities such as disconnected fans, unusual voltage or odd fan speeds. Following in the footsteps of NZXT's original Grid, GRID+ can be installed in any discreet location, making cable management a breeze.











The Kraken X41 and X61 take NZXT's industry-leading 140/280 mm CLC platform to new heights by combining the latest in cooling hardware and software technology. The new Krakens are the first consumer closed loop coolers with integrated variable speed pumps to provide minimal noise during use without sacrificing top end pump power.

NZXT's modernized Kraken software lets you control and monitor the Kraken's fan speeds, pump speed, HUE LED lighting and more. CAM will also notify you of any problems and allow you to access vital cooling performance data over time to ensure optimal PC performance. Complete with newly designed high performance fans, an industry leading six year warranty and improved installation hardware, the Kraken X41/X61 offer a truly refined liquid cooling experience.

CAM is designed to grow alongside your PC. When you upgrade your system with a CAM-compatible product such as the new Kraken or GRID+, you will automatically unlock additional functionality for your own CAM Ecosystem.

Additional information and photos can be found on the product pages below:

• Kraken X41
• Kraken X61
• GRID+

The GRID+, Kraken X41 and Kraken X61 will be available soon through your local NZXT EU distributor for just €19.99, €99.99 and €124.99 respectively.

 

NZXT CAM - Monitoring Software

Hello all,

So I decided to take the recently released NZXT CAM software for a spin. Here are some of my initial thoughts.

• It can be a resource hog sometimes. General navigation of the application would result in ~10% CPU usage, which is pretty high for a program designed to be used in the background. But then it is monitoring quite a lot of data and then outputting it into graphs.
• There are some problems with the sensors. Immediately upon opening the application I was issued a warning that my motherboard had exceed 128 degrees C. I would know if my motherboard had that high temperatures, so either bad software reading or a dodgy sensor.
• I also think the software is reading my CPU socket temperature rather than the actual CPU temperature sensor for the CPU reading. I might be wrong, but I was under the impression that my AMD FX would be much hotter under load, not ~25 degrees C.
• One thing I do like though about the software is the realtime graphs. They're probably why the software is such a resource hog, but what looks amazing is that the monitoring data from your system is recorded and kept for a number of years. Could be useful for diagnosing problems. But then there's the issue that your data is recorded, and could be accessed by other people.

These are just some of my initial thoughts of V1.0.0, and I'm sure NZXT will improve upon the software in the future. What have other people's experiences been with the software?
