Can I control the T120 Air Cooler through NZXT CAM?
The NZXT T120 Air Cooler is designed as a standalone cooler, meaning that out of the box the NZXT CAM software is not required. Any cooling controls such as Fan Speed will instead be controlled directly through the motherboard UEFI/BIOS.
If you purchased the T120 RGB Air Cooler, you will have two options to connect the included F120 RGB fan's RGB connection:
Option 1 - Connecting directly to Motherboard 5V ARGB
If your motherboard supports 5V Addressable RGB (ARGB) and you do not wish to use the NZXT CAM software, it is recommended to use this option.
Start by connecting the included 200mm 5V ARGB (Female) to NZXT RGB (Male) Adapter to the RGB connection for the F120 RGB fan, then connect the 3-pin end to an open 5V ARGB header.
Once connected, start your PC and open your motherboard's RGB Control software to control the included fan as a generic ARGB device.
Note: For some motherboards, you may need to manually set the number of LEDs for it to properly detect. For the F120 RGB fan, this will be a total of 18 LEDs.
Option 2 - Connecting through an NZXT RGB Controller
If your motherboard does not support 5V Addressable RGB (ARGB) or you wish to control the RGB on the fans through NZXT CAM, you will instead need to connect the included F120 RGB fan to a compatible Generation 2 or newer NZXT RGB Controller. These controllers include:
- Smart Device V2 included with select NZXT H-series cases
-
NZXT RGB & Fan Controller
- Also included with the H9 Elite case
- NZXT RGB Controlled, included with the following products
- Select NZXT Elite series cases
- Kraken and Kraken Elite RGB Coolers
- NZXT F-Series RGB Fan Multi-packs
- NZXT N-series Motherboards
All you need to do is connect the F120 fan directly to an open RGB header on the controller and it will be automatically detected by the NZXT CAM software as a lighting device.
