    I have a random screen freeze with the software, I have an H710I with an Ambient kit
    I have to deactivate the software to use my PC correctly I regret having invested so much money in the brand to be so bothered by it freezing

    on start up It shows stuff on cam for a few seconds and flashes blank a couple of times before staying blank white screen. I have uninstalled CAM and reinstalled still with the same issues.

    "lately the CPU usage states during idle that it is jumping from 5-15% to 80-90% usage" yep, this is first symptom of freeze, it starts with rising CPU usage, then freeze. I could only use mouse, I can click, but nothing is responding.

    Latest version of CAM beta was working for ~2 months for me, then 3 freezes and since then it's ok again.

    I have been experiencing freeze and loss of video problems with my monitor, having to reboot constantly throughout the day. Sometimes it will work for 5 minutes, sometimes 5 hours, sometimes 10 hours. Is this a related factor? I just uninstalled NZXT because lately the CPU usage states during idle that it is jumping from 5-15% to 80-90% usage. Is this part of this issue you are referring to.

    So, follow up from yesterday, my PC: amd 5600x, win 10, built 3 months ago, so pretty fresh. Instant freezes from beginning, latest CAM (4.30.2) didn't work, switched to beta -> no freezies for ~6 weeks.

    Yesterday 3 times in 90 minutes when I just surfed internet in Chrome browser, to be honest it always happen with Chrome opened.

    This problem still persists for me. I have even uninstalled and reinstalled windows with the same results. Cam never gets fully booted. I'm not sure if the pump gets turned off or what but the temperature sky rockets according to the readout on the cooler. Radiator fans go to max. Not really the way I would like to treat a brand new 5950x cpu. Has there been any progress on this? I opened ticket number 1170323. I have done as suggested and completely uninstalled cam and then used revo unintaller. As I mentioned I have also done a complete reinstall of Windows.


    I read somewhere that there might be a potential issue with Asus Armoury Crate. I did not install this software but its possible, again from what I read, that pieces of it may be installed based on a bios setting. I have not had time to track this lead down yet. Do you know if Armoury Crate is causing issues with CAM.

    Hi Carolyn,

    I was reporting this freezing several times now. As a fix I received Beta 4.30.2-b.1 which solve freezing (until now) BUT bring random restarting during play. If NZXT CAM is running my PC restart randomly... if I turn it off everything is working normal... Now it is 3y of reporting and trying to solve this issue without success. I am starting to be annoyed and probably buy another product.

    Hi Carolyn,


    Hope the CAM team is doing great and all !


    I'm really sorry to tell you that despite the update of my CAM to version 4.30.2, it still hangs randomly. The cells, in the cooling tab, reporting Liquid thermals, Fan speed and Pump speed of my Kraken hang and are frozen at a set value, although the CPU and GPU temps cells are working well. So even if my CPU temp is going higher, my fans and pump are not ramping up according to the curve set in my profile. A restart of my system solve the issue, but the CAM software will hang at one point.


    System spec :


    CPU : AMD Ryzen 9 5950X

    CPU COOLING : KRAKEN X72 with 6x Fans AerP 120 - (Push/Pull - FRONT of the case)

    RAM : 32GB (2x16GB) Trident Z Neo DDR4-3600MHz CL16-19-19-39 1.35V (F4-3600C16D-32GTZNC)

    GC : EVGA RTX 3090 KINGPIN (AIO on Top of the case)

    SSD System : SAMSUNG 980 PRO SSD 1To NVMe M.2 PCIe 4.0 (CAM INSTALL)

    SSD Gaming : WD BLACK SN750 SSD 2To NVMe M.2 PCIe 3.0

    HDD DATA 1: Seagate Barracuda 1To 7200 RPM

    HDD DATA 2 : Toshiba X300 4To 7200 RPM

    HDD DATA 3 : Toshiba MQ04ABF100 1To 5400 RPM

    HDD BACKUP : Western Digital WD200T3X0C-00SJG0 4To 5400 RPM

    PSU : SEASONIC PRIME PX-850

    CASE : BE QUIET! SILENT BASE 802

    OS : Windows 10 PRO 21H2, 64-bit


    Startup programs :


    CAM 4.30.2

    NVIDIA GEFORCE EXPERIENCE 3.24.0.123

    NVIDIA DRIVER 496.76 (11/16/2021)

    Core Temp 1.17

    MSI AFTERBURNER v4.6.3.16053

    EVGA PRECISION X1 v1.2.8

    RAINMETER 4.3.1.3321 64-bit

    VEEAM Agent for MS Windows 5.0.0.4301

    No system hang, no BSOD, no error message to report.


    Hope this will help, thanks a lot and happy holidays,


    Best Regards,


    Damien

    Hi, I just purchased a Z73 Kraken. My build

    Asus Crosshair VII Dark Hero

    AMD Ryzen 9 5950X

    Windows 10 build 21H1

    RTX 2080 super Aorus from Gigabyte

    RTX 2060 Gigabyte

    The cooler works fine until I try to install the cam software. I have tried both the standard version and the beta version which I down loaded as recently as 11/14/21


    The software never seems to get fully booted but it does something as the readout on my cooler suddenly goes from the the 35 to 39C rand to around 65C and the radiator fans go in to overdrive.


    Rebooting does not help. I have to shut down the machine and then turn off the power supply for a bit. Turn it back on and then all is OK. If I just reboot or shut down wait and reboot it does not seem to help. Of course I had to uninstall the CAM software or it just repeats when Windows starts again. There is no opportunity to tweak anything within CAM as it never fully comes up.


    This cooler is one of the most expensive options available. The draw to this is the ability to customize the display. Without the software functioning as designed it just becomes a VERY expensive chance to have an extra couple hundred extra bucks pulled from your wallet.

    I'm hoping there is a resolution to this :)
