Frequently Asked Questions

How many fans and RGB devices can the Control Hub run?

Fans: five channels - three NZXT 8-pin PWM, one NZXT 8-pin PWM and DC, and one 4-pin PWM and DC
Lighting: five channels - four NZXT 8-pin and one NZXT RGB

Each NZXT 8-pin lighting channel drives up to 96 LEDs, the NZXT RGB channel up to 40 LEDs across up to five devices, for a combined maximum of 424 LEDs.

What is Zero RPM mode?

Zero RPM stops the fans completely below a temperature you set in NZXT CAM, so an idle or lightly loaded system runs silently, then spins back up when it needs to.

How does the Control Hub mount, and how is it powered?

It has built-in magnets, and two 3M Dual Lock reclosable fasteners are included for non-magnetic surfaces. At 100 x 70 x 16 mm and 150 g it tucks into most cable channels.

Power comes from an 8-pin PCIe connector, and it talks to your PC over an internal USB 2.0 header.

Which fans work with the Control Hub?

Both 3-pin DC and 4-pin PWM fans are supported, so it is not limited to NZXT models.

Included in the box are an NZXT 8-pin splitter, a 1-to-3 NZXT RGB splitter and a 1-to-3 4-pin PWM splitter, which cover single-frame RGB Core units and standard case fans alike.

What software do I need?

NZXT CAM, on Windows 10 or 11, with a free internal USB 2.0 header on your motherboard.

CAM detects each connected device automatically, and you set fan curves, lighting effects and custom profiles from there.
