Powered by CAM

The free PC monitoring app that runs your NZXT, too.

CAM monitors any Windows PC in real time. Plug in NZXT hardware and it controls your fans, RGB, and Kraken LCD too. Free. No account. No catch.

System monitoring

Real-time CPU, GPU, memory, and storage readouts with temperature graphs and utilization. Mini mode docks a compact overlay to the desktop.

Kraken LCD configuration

Upload GIFs and still images, display live temperature or load readouts, or render a built-in visualizer. Content is resolution-matched to each Kraken model.

Web Integrations

Render any webpage to the Kraken display — dashboards, chat overlays, or live data feeds. Choose from preset integrations or point to your own URL.

NZXT CAM controlling a Kraken cooler — monitoring temperatures, fan curves, and RGB

Why CAM

No hardware required.

Most gaming brand apps only work with their own gear. CAM works on any Windows PC, free, with no account. Bring NZXT hardware to the party and it controls that too.

What CAM does

Powerful on its own. Unmatched with NZXT.

CAM gives every Windows PC real-time monitoring out of the box. Add NZXT hardware and a second set of controls unlocks — fans, RGB, Kraken LCD.

FAQ

NZXT CAM questions, answered.

Is NZXT CAM free?

Yes. CAM is a free download for any Windows PC. No account, no sign-in, no subscription.

Does CAM work without NZXT hardware?

Yes. System monitoring works on any Windows PC: CPU, GPU, memory, and storage readouts, plus temperatures and utilization. Fan control, RGB lighting, and Kraken LCD settings unlock when you connect compatible NZXT hardware. Check if your NZXT device is compatible.

Which versions of Windows does CAM support?

CAM runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11. Windows 7 and 8.1 are no longer supported, and there are no plans for macOS or Linux versions.

Can CAM control fans without an NZXT controller?

No. CAM sets fan speeds through an NZXT fan controller, like the ones built into select Kraken coolers and NZXT motherboards. Without one, CAM still monitors your system but can't change fan speeds.

Can CAM control RGB on my RAM or graphics card?

Not currently. CAM doesn't control RGB on RAM or GPUs. It controls lighting on NZXT devices, plus standard 12V RGB and 5V addressable RGB accessories connected to an NZXT motherboard.

What data does CAM collect?

When you're online, CAM sends anonymized usage data (like which lighting modes and fan profiles you use) and anonymized performance data. You can turn this off anytime in CAM Settings, under the gear icon.

How do I uninstall CAM?

Open Windows Settings, go to Apps, find NZXT CAM in your installed apps, and select Uninstall. See the full steps.
