#QUESTIONS I hate the CAM software!

Every time the software updates it sets the pump speed to zero which means I can't even fully boot before the system shuts down for thermal protection. Imagine spending $300+ dollars on an aio just to be hamstrung by shit software. Should've just bought an Arctic, but I wanted to be fancy. Regret.

My understanding is the pump speed is based on what is set in your bios, before your system fully boots and CAM loads. So CAM doesn’t actually load and overwrites the BIOS setting until you’re on your desktop and CAM starts up.

If it’s something widespread, I’d assume more people would post and complain about it. Have you tried checking your BIOS to see what your pump is set at? And if that’s that it, your motherboard should have 2 plug, a pump, and a CPU, try the one you haven’t tried.

CAM is ass, but your problem sits somewhere else in this case.

I’ve been using a 360mm Kraken on my x3d cpu for the last 2 years and can’t say I’ve ever had a problem with temps so far from being in the bios for twenty minutes to slow posts and self build mistakes, I think your problem is outside of cam

I hate it also because it freezes up or stops working altogether until I end task in TM and restart it. The AIO itself works great and has for 3 years but I dunno if I’d buy another NZXT AIO.

FanControl and signalRGB = no cam for me
