Funcionament

Once installed and powered on, the Kraken Z73 operates to cool your CPU. The integrated LCD display and CAM software provide extensive control and monitoring capabilities.

Programari CAM de NZXT:

The NZXT CAM software is essential for unlocking the full potential of your Kraken Z73. Download and install the latest version from the official NZXT weblloc (www.nzxt.com/cam).

  • Seguiment: View real-time CPU temperatures, pump speed, and fan speeds.
  • Control de rendiment: Adjust pump and fan curves to optimize for quiet operation or maximum cooling performance.
  • LCD Customization: Personalize the 2.36-inch LCD display to show system information (like CPU/GPU temperature), custom images, or animated GIFs.
  • Control RGB: Manage any connected RGB lighting components.

Fan and Pump Operation:

The AER P fans are designed for high static pressure and quiet operation. The pump continuously circulates coolant through the system. Optimal performance is achieved when fan and pump speeds are configured to match your system's thermal load, typically managed through the CAM software's profiles.

Resolució de problemes

If you encounter issues with your Kraken Z73, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

  • Temperatures altes de la CPU:
    • Verify that the pump is running and connected correctly.
    • Check fan connections and ensure they are spinning.
    • Ensure the radiator and fans are free of dust.
    • Confirm the pump cold plate has proper contact with the CPU. Re-seating the pump might be necessary if thermal paste application was uneven.
    • Check CAM software settings for fan and pump curves; ensure they are set appropriately for your workload.
  • Soroll de la bomba:
    • Some pump noise is normal, but excessive noise might indicate air bubbles. Orient the radiator and pump to allow air to settle at the highest point of the radiator, away from the pump intake.
    • Adjust pump speed in CAM software to a lower setting if noise is a concern and temperatures allow.
  • LCD Display Not Working/Displaying Incorrectly:
    • Ensure the USB cable from the pump is securely connected to a motherboard USB 2.0 header.
    • Restart the CAM software or your computer.
    • Update CAM software to the latest version.
    • Check for any driver conflicts or Windows updates that might affect USB device recognition.
  • Els ventiladors no giren:
    • Verify fan connections to the pump or motherboard headers.
    • Check fan speed settings in CAM software or BIOS.
