Hi! First off, thanks for the PromDapter, its great! It looks like all temperature sensor values broke. It worked fine for me with HWiNFO 7.16, but not anymore with HWiNFO 7.22-4731. The metrics are mangled, and Prometheus is unable to scrape with the error "help text is not a valid utf8...

Several reboots later, I can confirm this beta works! As long as HWiNFO is started first, everything seems fine. It seems to reliably make CAM start "with shared access", as the log output confirms. I will use this beta for a bit and report on any issues, should some come up. Thanks a ton Martin!

Here is the debug output from the HID library I'm using... maybe that helps anything. My code gets stuck trying to read data from the Kraken, until some other program, like HWiNFO or CAM is started. I'm probably skipping some initialization I'm supposed to do. The point where it get's stuck...

That does not work on my system I'm afraid. I just quadruple checked with several reboots, using latest HWiNFO 7.22-4731 and CAM 4.34.2. A) Without any additional hacks: Start HWiNFO Result: HWiNFO Kraken sensors are displayed and refreshed. Start NZXT CAM Result: The HWiNFO Kraken sensors get...

I am able to read the Kraken data, no matter if CAM is running or not. There still seems to be some race conditions with CAM, but as stated above, as long as byte[0]==117 the data is good. I cleaned up and published the source at github: https://github.com/cun83/NZXT-Kraken-Sensor-Unlocker...

I did some more digging. It seems CAM is not completely at fault here. I am able to reliably read the liquid temp, while HWiNFO does not read the Kraken sensor at all. This is using exactly the same code used to prevent CAM from blocking HWiNFO, except for the data reading loop. In the...

Some more observations: HWiNFO does not care if my program is running, sensors are being read Using the same library to connect to the USB device, instead of the HID devices, makes CAM Report an error when showing the main window

Ofc! It connects to the USBHID device of the Kraken, and keeps the connection until my program exits. I have no idea about the details of the connection, I just used an oss dotnet library (Device.Net & Hid.Net), and their sample code infact :D, to connect to the device with the Kraken's...

Thanks to the hints in this old thread, I was able to sling a bit of code to finally beat NZXT CAM, and make NZXT CAM work reliably with HWiNFO! Can anyone confirm this is working on your system? If there is still interest in this I will clean up the code and publish this in a more clean...
