liquidctl VS KrakenZPlayground

I intend to purchase an AIO for a system that will also run Linux in dual boot. As CAM is not available for Linux, i have been looking at 3rd party options such as https://github.com/liquidctl/liquidctl for controlling the AIO on Linux systems. Support for the 2023 models is still a work in progress however. I'm not sure what will happen to my AIO if I run linux without CAM or other software configured.

Most motherboards have a header to connect a 10k probe like that. I currently connected the 10k into my Corsair iCUE Commander (there is a temp probe connector). In Linux I use this project to read the temps and fan speeds: https://github.com/liquidctl/liquidctl

I did both, implementing the RGB Controller driver standalone and inside of liquidctl. The pull-request for liquidctl is in principle ready but i did not have time to test all of the more complex functionality. You can find the current state here https://github.com/maxawake/liquidctl/tree/nzxt-rgb-controller The NZXT Kraken Elite 360 driver to control the water cooling pump and the LCD display has been added by brokenmass in this pull request https://github.com/liquidctl/liquidctl/pull/605 My corsair vengeance DDR5 Ram is connected via i2c and my case fans are on a ARGB header of my asus motherboard which i can both control via the newest gitlab version of openRGB. Hope this helps! If you need help getting it running just ask

Also, very very useful on both windows and linux: liquidctl. Even if the kernel doesn't have support, this can control it (speaking about the commander pro, but applies to everything else on the README list as well).

PR raised : https://github.com/liquidctl/liquidctl/pull/605 :D

For the Corsair AIO control, you want Liquidctl. It doesn't have all the options like iCUE but it works fine.

I found this: https://github.com/liquidctl/liquidctl/blob/main/docs/corsair-commander-guide.md

There is also Liquidctl which has some type of fancontrol built in, but mainly focuses on liquid coolers (hence the name).

I'm not vey up to date but it used to be CAM didn't like sharing access to NZXT devices, I figure that's still status quo so what we used to do is direct ppl towards 3rd party cam alternatives like krakenzplayground until SignalRGB gets native support for the LCD content.

Check out KrakenZPlayground which should replace the LCD functionality as well. https://github.com/ProtozeFOSS/KrakenZPlayground

CAM Does Not play nicely with SignalRGB fortunately theres an open source application called KrakenZPlayground in which it does not fight with signalRGB for pump control and instead uses the QT engine to allow complete customizations. Take a Look at the Github Project to get a better understanding and documentation. lmk if you need any help! i use this everyday!

For me, CAM is limited; so I use this tool: https://github.com/ProtozeFOSS/KrakenZPlayground

Wait if all you want to so is set the fan and pump speed.... https://github.com/ProtozeFOSS/KrakenZPlayground https://github.com/liquidctl/liquidctl
