The Software Behind The KRAKEN

NZXT CAM

So this product is compatible with NZXT CAM - a software suite which allows you to monitor variables like RPM, temperatures, control the fan RPM and a large range of variables really. You can also configure the RGB LED coloring and all kinds of animations.

** Yeah um .. just no **

If you like to save profiles, a Facebook or Google login is mandatory. For many that alone is reason enough to not purchase a product like this, I know. I checked the Facebook APP on my smartphone,a nd yes your data is collected and shared! I'd strongly advise you to run 'GUEST MODE'. That way you can still control the Kraken X72.

Above is CAm in gues modus. As you can see the software has picked up from earlier versions and is showing information for LED control, Pump and Fan control / Monitoring. Each fan for example can be programmed individually, create your own profile or just select: silent or performance modes.

Here we have selected LED control. The waterblock has a programmable RGB lit logo and the separated rings which you can both configure. You can select normal, anims and temperature based even audio color control. I love the RGB LED design and to fool around with colors. Overall LED configuration works well.

We suggest you set the unit at its performance configuration, it offers the best balance in-between performance and very low noise. The pump also has an entry in CAM, we recommend pumping at performance capacity which hardly can be heard anyways. The software suite really is the icing on top of the cake that is the LCS unit, but does come with some complications.
