A key feature of the NZXT CAM software is the ability to control the fans and pump on CAM powered devices easily from within Windows. These settings can be accessed easily from the Cooling tab on the left side of the CAM window.

|
The NZXT CAM software is only able to detect fans connected via a compatible controller. These controllers will be either standalone devices or may be included as part of another product. A few examples of these include:
Not all NZXT devices can be controlled through the Cooling tab. For more information, please check out the following articles or refer to the product user's manual: |
Once in the Cooling tab, click the cooling device you would like to adjust. For this example we have expanded the Fan item on the Kraken cooler to expose the fan curve and temperature source.
For ease of use, all fan and pump channels will include a few presets:
- Fixed - The device will remain at a constant RPM. The default for this setting will vary depending on the device.
- Silent - The device will remain at lower RPM while idle or under light load, however as temperature increase the device will ramp up to compensate for the increased heat. This setting is ideal for those who prefer lower overall system noise.
- Performance - The device will remain at moderate to high RPM while idle or under light load, increasing aggressively with increased heat. This setting is ideal for those who prefer improved performance over silence.
- Custom - The device will operate on a user-defined curve. This setting is ideal for those who want greater fine-tune control over their PC's cooling.
For all modes, the Temperature Source can be set to react to certain temperatures on the PC. These sources include the CPU and GPU temperature for most sources, as well as Liquid temperature when a compatible NZXT Liquid Cooler is present. To adjust Custom curves, click the individual nodes in the curve and move them up and down to your desired speed for a given temperature.
Note: Any single node cannot be lower than a node to its left or higher than a node to its right. If you adjust a node beyond these ranges, other nodes will adjust accordingly.
