Hey, thanks for the advice and detailed instructions. I apologize for not providing more info on the fans but yes, you are correct, they are the newer redux fans that are PWM. What I ended up doing was moving my Y-splitter to a different location (previously had it on the CPU_OPT header as it...

I'm using the above listed fans with an ASUS TUF Gaming X570-Plus (WiFi). Since the 140mm fans run slower than the 120mm, I was thinking maybe I can just take the 120 off the Y-splitter and run it to its own header on the motherboard, but leave the two 140s on another header on the splitter...

I recently put together a new machine and have a few different fans inside the case, as well as a Corsair AIO. I don't really have a lot of experience with changing fan curves, but I'd like to set these a bit lower as they run at a higher speed most of the time even during idle. At the moment, I...

Okay awesome. I'll do some more Googling and see if that's possible with this cooler, I couldn't say off the top of my head. But thanks for the suggestion, I'll lead with that.

Looking through some older posts on here as well as some that I found on Reddit, it seems like idle temperature spikes are a commonality with this CPU, but I had a few other questions I wanted to ask. I recently replaced some of the components as well as the case on my computer. Before, I had a...

The system is a pre-built Thermaltake Reactor 380, which I believe can come with slightly different parts depending on where it was assembled, but here is what mine came with, sans the stock RAM as I have upgraded from 16GB to 32GB. System Specs: Motherboard: ROG STRIX B550-I Gaming CPU: Ryzen...

I'm having an issue with a new computer that I purchased. Usually I have built mine in the past but bought a pre-built this time because I couldn't find a GPU anywhere. I've had it for about 2 weeks now and so far haven't really had any issues with it. I wiped the machine out of the box and...

For anyone else who stumbles upon this thread at some point in time: to revise what I put earlier, the "stock" NZXT fans I was looking at were actually the case fans of the NZXT S340 Elite case I got (whomp whomp), so that was my mistake. The actual radiator fans that come with the Kraken are...

After spending some time on here and also on Reddit, the closest thing I can come to that would explain this is that the fans I am using (I am not using the stock NZXT fans that came with the Kraken) are not PWM fans and therefore cannot be controlled by the CAM software. The only odd thing is...

I recently put together a new build and opted to go with the NZXT Kraken X62 AIO cooler. So far it's keeping my CPU cool...but that's because it's constantly running all the fans at 100%. I've made sure everything is connected exactly as it says in the manual (even watched a few videos to be...

My motherboard will be an Asus Prime Z370-A. So basically, if I want to use all the RAM channels on my mobo, I need to buy all 4 sticks upfront? As in...if I want 32GB at some point, it would be better to go ahead and spend money on a matched 4-stick set instead of buying a dual channel set of...

Looking at building a new PC soon and was wondering about any compatibility issues or performance issues with choosing one over the other. If I want 32GB of RAM, how much of an issue will I have buying two kits of (2x8) dual channel RAM and installing them together versus one kit of (4x8) quad...

I took everything apart yesterday and cleaned off the old thermal paste and put a new drop on there and so far it seems to be running about 10C cooler on average. Left the machine up and running searching for updates last night and got up this morning to find it still running. Hoping this is...
