    Noticing the same issue since some recent updates. Does NZXT even bother looking at their support pages??

    I fixed it by blocking NZXT CAM in windows Firewall, uninstalled, installed an older version from 2023 and logged in as guest... CPU usage down to 1% (from 30% during gaming).

    I'm also having this issue, exactly as described in this thread. Started with CAM version 4.64.2 and is pressent with current version 4.64.3.

    3 weeks still no fix?

    Could someone from NZXT please acknowledge that this high CPU usage issue is something NZXT is aware of & that it is being worked on?

    i have to completely close CAM software...otherwise the spike in cpu usage causes cpu to increase by 10-15C ..if left open my cpu idle temps are 45-50c please fix this
