Hi, I'm thinking about buying a new case and even though it's not one of the best performers I'm thinking about the H510i from NZXT. The only think I can't find rn is if the case lights are compatible with Aura Sync which I use for everything else. I saw a post from NZXT from about 6m ago about a beta version of their CAM software and beta usage of the Aura Sync API, but I'm still a bit sceptical. If anyone has any kind of experience with those two together, I will be glad if you reply to this post. Thank you!

I have an NZXT Kraken X72 AIO installed on my NZXT H710 case. The cooler was working fine for about a year. But suddenly, I noticed that the CPU (Ryzen 9 3900x) temperature went up because the radiator fans (NZXT AER RGB 2) stopped spinning. So I opened the case and tried to troubleshoot the problem. The fans were connected to the 10 pin cable that came from the CPU block. I removed and reconnected them to the fan controller of the case. This time two of the fans worked and one didn't. I finally concluded that one of the fans were broken so I replaced it with another one. But if I connect them back to the cable that came from the CPU block, they don't work, just the RGB lights up. So I kept the connected to the controller. Today, I noticed the fans stopped spinning again. So I disconnected the 10 pin cable from the CPU block and reconnected it after reading a suggestion online. And it started working again. But I noticed that the "Kraken X Fan" is showing 0 RPM in the NZXT CAM software. I don't know which is this. I'm also worried that the fans might stop spinning again. Where could be problem be? Should change the whole AIO or is there any other alternative?

Hello people, After hours of frustration with the Corsair H100X (I would not recomment buying it, the pump is quite loud and you can't change its RPM) I decided to buy the NZXT Kraken X53 after reading tons of postive reviews. My motherboard has a CPU_FAN header and a CPU_OPT header. The pump is powered by sata and connected to the computer via usb 2.0 internally, but it also has a 3 pin fan plug. This is to my knowledge just there so that the motherboard can see what RPM the pump working at, not to regulate it. That's done through software. My question is, where do I plug this thing into and where the fans. Do the fans plug into the cpufan header and the pumps pwm indicator thingy into cpu_opt or the other way around. I'd be glad if anyone with a simular AiO could tell me how they did it. Please, let's not get into a discussion about which AiO to pick. I've read billions of threads and I don't want my mind to change again. It took me very long to make a decision xD Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone, This is my 1st post here. Hoping to get some feedback from you as I did not get that lucky on Reddit (and I'll be happy to help on the forum as well wherever I can with the little knowledge I gained already). But as it's my 1st one, a quick intro : I'm 41, from the countryside of france, enjoy riding my bike and video games (fps mostly now), not that experienced w/ pc assembling and overclocking (although I did build my own pcs 20 years ago..). Ok so enough for the tinder presentation and let's get serious : The emotional part After selling 3 of my kidneys (one of the advantages of living near a nuclear power plant), I managed to build the following rig : aorus x570 xtreme in rev.1.1 (yeah it's overkill, but shhhh) + r9 5900x (1st time for me w/ an amd cpu on a desktop) + nzxt z73 (full build here or in my profile) all that stuffed in a BeQuiet DB Pro Rev2 on which I added a 3rd SilentWings 3 at the front. So I got 3xSW3 (140mm) on the front, 1xSW3 same size at the back, and the z73 fans (3x120mm) oriented towards the top of the case. By "managed to build" I should mention that I only picked the components and the actual build was made by pros (so no idea what thermal paste was used but I trust this store and given my skills in cable management well...I'm pretty sure I made the right choice ). Got my beast end of June. Things were going smoothly and me and my pc were running hand-in-hand on rainbow unicorns in slow-motion in the heavens of video gaming. Then, "it" happened. NZXT CAM. I was tempted. I knew the feedback was not that good on the soft from what I had seen here and there. But the RGB god smiled at me, then I looked at this nice display on the Z73 which was only displaying the CPU temp over a dark screen, and that was it : "Worst case scenario, I'll uninstall it" was I thinking. Ahahah, so naive.. So I installed CAM, and suddenly...the Z73 fans, which I had NEVER heard until then, kicked in at max speed (wtf!). The CPU temp displayed 65°C, then it went down a little and the z73 fans progressively slowed down. I then noticed that when booting the OS (win10), CPU temp was over 60°C (doing nothing in particular w/ the OS), and then when playing (mostly CoD BO4) I could even reached 91°C (!). I originally blamed the CAM software, but without really understanding the causality between this behavior ('had my aio fans playing yo-yo) and the soft. Were my aio fans not working properly before ? (as I never heard them). Was the cpu temp really that high at the time - had I missed sthg / not paid attention to it before ?? But more importantly : Was I the witness of a stranger-thing'ish with an alien dimension opening in my room and injecting the whole global warming all at once in my case ? Ok, enough with the conjectures. Time to put the glasses on, roll up the sleeves, pay a chaman, then read and measure stuff. Quick study Now, a quick reading about the Ryzen introduces the Core Performance Boost notion to my eyes, and I understand it is enabled by default (and should be fine this way). Going into the advanced settings of the MB uefi, I realize it's kind of a mess in there, to say the least...but the mobo is quite new so I get it. Core Performance Boost can be found in 2 different places (!) : 1 option in the "Tweaker" menu, and 1 same (??) option in the CPU common settings located in the AMD overclocking menu. So, 1st, I decide to run some Cinebench R23 measurements (no tweak at all, all default) - room temperature was pretty hot, 28-30°C : CPB is then in auto mode (I can see that the cpu clocks @4.4-4.5 Ghz) : multi-core : 20,099 pts (the score is decent but compared to what I see online from you guys, I kind of expected a bit more here even w/o any OC) single-core : 1,533 pts CPU Temps : max : ~81°C min : ~ 60°C Max VCore : 1.51V See the screenshot here : Note : I maxed the front/back SW3 fans @1000rpm (dont like that, it's noisier) front panel opened. CPU max temp reached 82°C (looks pretty high to me) CPU temp value indicated by Ryzen master (once the test was over) is 52.11°C whereas I get a reading of 66°C by CAM, about the same (67) w/ AIDA64 -> seems like CAM / Aida values are the CPU die values whereas Ryzen is rather based on the core temperatures). I'd rather have CAM to do the same but heh.. Then, I disable the CPB option located in the Tweaker menu : CPB disabled (cpu clocks at stock @3.7Ghz) : multi-core : 17,634 pts single-core: 1,207 pts CPU Temps : max : 63°C min : 42°C Max VCore : 1.1V So...just by disabling this option in the bios, I saved 20°C. See screenshot here : I then ran my fav game, Call of Duty Black Ops 4, in which I was reaching a temp of 91°C in spike after a few mins of gaming (w/. CPB on), and I kept that -20°C as I was around 70°C max. I didnt seem to lose any fps as I was still around 230 fps in 1440p (so clearly enjoyable...); but the game is from 2018 and not sure how heavily it relies on the CPU (the 3090 does help though :p). Ok that makes sense, lower tensions, lower freq. used etc...but keeping the CPU @base freq without the turbo is kind of a shame for such a configuration. So for now, my actual setup, I keep deactivated the CPB but I set the core multiplier at 40 instead of 37, and I'm now running @4Ghz. Results are good on Cinebench "compared to" what I had w/ the CPB mode on : CPB disabled - core multiplier at 40 : multi-core : 19,865 pts single-core: 1,307 pts And the temperatures are still pretty "cool" for that cpu : still 42°C min and around or less than 71°C max. I should also state that the windows power settings were/are in "balanced" mode. Now, with all that being said.... Questions : 1. What do you guys think of these results, do they look poor, am I missing something somewhere ? I expected cooler temperatures and higher results on the bench tbh. 2. Does anyone know which option superseeds the other between the "tweaker" options and the one we find in the AMD OC settings ?? 3. Are there any advanced documentations (being text, vids, etc i don't care) that would explain in details each settings in the bios of the x570 aorus xtreme - I've read the manual, it is well done and quite clear "but" it misses lots of options descriptions as well "details" on each of those. If there any good tutorials to learn how to better tweak the Ryzen 9, I'd be glad to look at them! 4. Also, something I did not mention above : I uninstalled CAM before re-installing it, and when CAM is not installed : the metrics on the Z73 screen are frozen and, more importantly, the fan speed will also stay static and won't change even if the temp is getting high. It's as if the Z73 imperatively needs CAM installed to work properly. I had read from a NZXT answer on Amazon (to a customer) that only the RGB would be off so I'm a bit surprised here (cables look correctly plugged on the mb). Anyone else who would have remarked this as well ?? Overall it feels that there's some soft update needed in the drivers (chipset maybe) regarding the way CPB works. I dont get why it's so agressive even when not doing anything on the operating system. Clocking very high and therefore inducing high temps when ...nothing is done in particular (ok some background processes are always running but the cpu load is very very low) simply does not make sense.... I'm curious to see if anyone is experience similar things ??? Oh, and thanks for reading up to here if you made it :).

Hi! I'm very close to being able to buy all the parts to my PC, but I have a question about the AIO I'm going to use. My case is an O11 Dynamic with Lian Li ST120 fans, but my AIO is an NZXT Kraken X73 (default). I was wondering if I would be able to replace the fans on the Kraken with Lian Li ST120s. If you could also tell me if there are any other components I need to use for the RGB to work that would be great. For reference, my Motherboard is an MSI MAG B460 Tomahawk. Thanks!

Hi Guys, I am using Zotac RTX2060 Mini. Unfortunately, the cooling is not good. What would you suggest I do for this graphics card? If I connect liquid cooling with NZXT Kraken G12, can I mount it without any problem? Or Arctic Accelero Xtreme III or IV supports for cooling? If I have a chance to connect NZXT Kraken G12, it would be better because I have Zalman LQ310 liquid cooling compatible with G12.

Hi, so this is my first build with any RGB lighting so please excuse any idiocy when it comes to my knowledge. So I've bought an kraken z73 and 3 aer RGB 2 fans along with an RGB controller as I plan to add some RGB strips that goes over the 40 channel limit (a itll from nzxt) later down the line. My problem extends from the fact that I can't see any feasible way to connect the fans to the controller or kraken RGB header with any of the included wires. I've included pictures of all the headers and a picture showing the fan connectors are smaller than the ones from the kraken and controller. I don't know if I need a certain wire I don't have or if the fans are only motherboard connected. I'm not sure really what to because as I've said I'm pretty inexperienced when it comes to anything RGB so any help would be appreciated.

My friend wants the Nzxt h510 but we found a Corsair case that fits our budget but friend really wants The H510 (with a RTX 3070), I tried to convince him but he said then why are people putting RTX 3080s and Ryzen 9s in it. I’m just a amateur of PC Building but you guys are not, so prove him wrong.

Hello everyone, the pre-installed fans in my NZXT Noctis 450 are doing a terrible noise, and are not enough to keep my hdd cool after I installed an RTX 3080. This is after ~1 hours of gaming Outer Wilds. The case is hot as hell, can barely touch it. Which fans should I buy to replace them? I just need 3*120mm for the front (intake), the one on the rear (exhaust) 140mm is doing fine. Or should I opt for a completely different case? Thank you for your help!

I have these weird Windows freezes caused by NZXT's CAM software (as far as I'm aware they happen only with AMD CPUs). Someone said disabling CStates will fix that but I can't find this option in BIOS. Can someone tell me where it is?

So basically, today I upgraded my PC from the Ryzen 5 3600 to the Ryzen 9 5900X, the stock cooler to the NZXT Kraken X63 and the case from a NZXT S340 Elite to the Lian Li Lancool II Mesh RGB. My other specs are: MoBo: MSI MPG X570 Gaming Edge WiFi GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Super SSD's: 2x Samsung 860 EVO PSU: Corsair RM750x Well, when starting the PC the BIOS instantly gives me a CPU Overheating alert. I go into the BIOS, see the CPU rise to 88C on which it instantly shuts down. The RGB on the pump and the fans also didn't work. First I checked if all the cables were attached properly, and apart from the USB-cable to the pump which wasn't properly inserted into the MoBo, I reinserted it, and restarted my PC. First thing I noticed was that the RGB worked, but also that the fans were running a little quieter. However, the CPU still instantly overheated. Then I took off the pump from the CPU to see if it even made contact. After looking at the thermal paste, which was spread evenly across both surfaces, I reattached the pump to the CPU and also reattached the cables leading into the pump and restarted again. (I'm guessing I also have to replace thermal paste now as well, right?) But, the RGB suddenly didn't work anymore. And the fans were again somewhat louder, so at this point I was at a loss for words. I also touched the pump to see if I could feel it work or blow or whatever it does, and it did seem to be moving. So honestly I have no clue, right now. I'll also add that the radiator fans do work and that the ambient temperature in my apartment is 34C, as it is a hot summers day where I live. What should I do next? So to reiterate, the CPU and cooler are both brand new. Thanks for the help

Hi, I have 9700K OCed to 5.2ghz @1.35v and LLC 6 Cooled by NZXT X53 240mm. On AIDA64 stress test the CPU draws 140w to 150w the temps hit low 80s. Playing cyberpunk which utilize all 8cores the CPU draws up to 100w and temps hit low to mid 70s. On idle temps sit a TT around 40c to 55c, fluctuates alot. I know the temps are fine for the CPU but is it fine and expected for the cooler, is it under performing? Pump speed is 2700RPM (Highest) Fans speed is 1700 - 2000RPM (Highest) Thanks

Hi, which one do you recommend for 9700K @5.2ghz as both are priced the same NZXT X73 EK-Classic Kit S360 D-RGB Triple 120mm Liquid Cooling Kit thanks,

Hello. I recently got a Corsair 4000D Airflow case. I have now changed to it, from NZXT H710. Specs: MB: Asus: ROG STRIX B-550-F Gaming CPU: AMD Ryzen 3700X CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken X73 GPU: ASUS GeForce RTX 3060 ROX Strix OC The fan settings is same as in H710, but this maybe not be optimal for 4000D case? Now the setup is like this: Cha fan 1: Exhaust back in the case. (40% from 0 to 40C, 50% at 60C and 80% at 80C). Cha fan 2: Intake fans: In pull config on the rad for my CPU cooler. (connected via Noctua splitter to header). (40% from 0 to 45C, 70% at 70C, and 98% at 85C) Cha fan 3: Exhaust in the top of the case. (connected via Noctua splitter to header). (40% from 0 to 40C, 50% at 60C and 80% at 80C). AIO pump header: AIO pump, always at 100%. All fans in use are Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM in the case for now. I have one Noctua NF-A14 PWM available from the NZXT H710 case, but that fan is not in use right now. After 10.min with Cinebench R23 max temp was at 73C. Room temp is around 23-24C. Is there a more optimal fan setting I can do to get lower temp's in this case? (Everything is set to CPU as source temp. I don't game much, and my GPU is never over 65C, if I game.)

Hi, I have nzxt x53 240mm cooling 9700K overclocked to 5.2 ghz at 1.33v, i noticed when playing cyberpunk the water temp in the AIO reaches 45, not familiar with what is a good reading should be but sounds high, thoughts? CPU Temp sits in low 70s.

Here is how things sit I need a decent case in which I can build my PC. The computer will be always on either rendering 3D animations or video editing ( will occasionally game ). I am planing on building a 4th gen Intel system (i5 4590 for now) with a GTX970/1060 (can't get my hands on one at the moment) also I am not planing on doing any overclocking. Here are my requirements: 1. decent looking 2. good ventilation 3. somewhat silent 4. see through side panel 5. long lasting/decent build quality 6. budget oriented (50-60$ MAX) I was set on a SilentiumPC Ventum VT2 TG but decided to backtrack because of the lack of reviews EXTRA: no H510 or 011(any model)

I bought a nzxt kraken x53 aio and noticed that it has a argb out conector, i also have 3 lian li st120 argb fans that come with their own rgb controller that i really dont like, because the modes are not great and everytime i want to change the lighting i have to open my case. My question is, is it possible to connect the rgb fans to the nzxt conector and control everything on the nzxt cam?

Hi guys, so I recently watched the Gamers Nexus video on Radiator placement and I realize that i need to have the radiator vertically mounted in a case with the tubes down. (I don't think I can buy a huge case that supports a triple rad setup at the top). But now I'm considering switching to a dual rad solution, the Z63. The only thing is, the 5950X kicks out a lot of heat. Will the Z63 still be able to keep it cool compared to the Z73? Is the difference huge in temps or is it in fact negligible? I am looking at a Corsair 4000X case, but if there is a case in similar size that does support a 360 Rad at the top please tell me.

Hi, I have Asus rog Strix Z390-F motherboard, I want to get the NZXT H710i since its on a huge sale here in my country. As per the NZXT site it fits ATX boards up to Up to 272mm or 10.7-inches On Asus website the board dimensions are 12 inch x 9.6 inch ( 30.5 cm x 24.4 cm ) I thought it wont fit but on PC Part Picker they are compatible?! Any thoughts? Thanks,

Budget (including currency): 50 cdn Country: canada Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: anything on steam Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): do i get fans for it?

Hi, I know that might sound silly, but I want to water cool my 9700k @ 5.2ghz with a custom loop, but my local store advised not to pay that much instead get high end AIO similar to NZXT Z 360ml series or the new Gigabyte X 360ml series. He claimed that I wont notice that much of a difference butt will save couple of hundred bucks and the custom loop hassle and maintenance. Is it true that new versions of AIO will perform similarly as open loop? Thanks,

Sup fellow Linus fans, i have recently realised that my i9 aren't capable of doing cinebench multi-core loads, because the core clocks throttle after about a minute. The temps always stay below 75 degrees, so i think it's because of my motherboards VRMs, but is that true, and can i do anything to prevent it?

I have started to mine some BTC to gain back some of the extra I had to pay for my GPU, I'm mining 24/7 for now, the GPU (RTX 3060) is optimize using Nicehash Quick miner setting. It slows down the clock to 1500 MHz and also lowers the power limit so it draws about 111W while mining, the RIG should be consuming about 200W in total because I'm also using the CPU to mine (R7 2700 on stock setting so about 65W of power draw). I would like to know if this PSU is solid enought for 24/7 operation under the stated conditions.
