SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-or-later + +Kernel driver nzxt-kraken3 +========================== + +Supported devices: + +* NZXT Kraken X53 +* NZXT Kraken X63 +* NZXT Kraken X73 +* NZXT Kraken Z53 +* NZXT Kraken Z63 +* NZXT Kraken Z73 + +Author: Jonas Malaco, Aleksa Savic + +Description +----------- + +This driver enables hardware monitoring support for NZXT Kraken X53/X63/X73 and +Z53/Z63/Z73 all-in-one CPU liquid coolers. All models expose liquid temperature +and pump speed (in RPM), as well as PWM control (either as a fixed value +or through a temp-PWM curve). The Z-series models additionally expose the speed +and duty of an optionally connected fan, with the same PWM control capabilities. + +Pump and fan duty control mode can be set through pwm[1-2]_enable, where 1 is +for the manual control mode and 2 is for the liquid temp to PWM curve mode. +Writing a 0 disables control of the channel through the driver after setting its +duty to 100%. + +The temperature of the curves relates to the fixed [20-59] range, correlating to +the detected liquid temperature. Only PWM values (ranging from 0-255) can be set. +If in curve mode, setting point values should be done in moderation - the devices +require complete curves to be sent for each change; they can lock up or discard +the changes if they are too numerous at once. Suggestion is to set them while +in an another mode, and then apply them by switching to curve. + +The devices can report if they are faulty. The driver supports that situation +and will issue a warning. This can also happen when the USB cable is connected, +but SATA power is not. + +The addressable RGB LEDs and LCD screen (only on Z-series models) are not +supported in this driver, but can be controlled through existing userspace tools, +such as `liquidctl`_. + +.. _liquidctl: https://github.com/liquidctl/liquidctl + +Usage Notes +----------- + +As these are USB HIDs, the driver can be loaded automatically by the kernel and +supports hot swapping. + +Possible pwm_enable values are: + +====== ========================================================================== +0 Set fan to 100% +1 Direct PWM mode (applies value in corresponding PWM entry) +2 Curve control mode (applies the temp-PWM duty curve based on coolant temp) +====== ========================================================================== + +Sysfs entries +------------- + +============================== ================================================================ +fan1_input Pump speed (in rpm) +fan2_input Fan speed (in rpm) +temp1_input Coolant temperature (in millidegrees Celsius) +pwm1 Pump duty (value between 0-255) +pwm1_enable Pump duty control mode (0: disabled, 1: manual, 2: curve) +pwm2 Fan duty (value between 0-255) +pwm2_enable Fan duty control mode (0: disabled, 1: manual, 2: curve) +temp[1-2]_auto_point[1-40]_pwm Temp-PWM duty curves (for pump and fan), related to coolant temp +============================== ================================================================ |
