Instruccions de funcionament

The NZXT Kraken 360 RGB is designed for plug-and-play cooling, but its full potential is unlocked through the NZXT CAM software.

Using NZXT CAM Software:

• Seguiment: View real-time CPU and GPU temperatures, fan speeds, pump speeds, and other system metrics.
• Control de refrigeració: Adjust fan curves and pump speeds to optimize cooling performance and noise levels. You can choose from preset profiles or create custom ones.
• Personalització de la pantalla LCD: Personalize the 1.54-inch LCD screen on the pump. You can upload custom images or animated GIFs, display system information (like temperatures or clock speeds), or integrate web contingut.
• Control d'il·luminació RGB: Synchronize and customize the RGB lighting effects of the F120 RGB Core Fans. Choose from various static colors, dynamic effects, or reactive lighting modes.

Manteniment

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your NZXT Kraken 360 RGB cooler.

• Neteja de pols: Regularly clean dust from the radiator fins and fans using compressed air. Accumulated dust can impede airflow and reduce cooling efficiency.
• Inspecció de tubs: Periodically inspect the reinforced tubing for any signs of kinks, damage, or leaks. While the tubing is designed to be durable, visual checks are recommended.
• Actualitzacions de programari: Keep your NZXT CAM software updated to the latest version to ensure compatibility, access new features, and benefit from performance improvements or bug fixes.
• Soroll de la bomba: If you notice unusual pump noises, ensure the pump is running at an adequate speed and that there are no air bubbles trapped in the system (though AIOs are factory-sealed to minimize this).
