NZXT fans use proprietary connectors and software called CAM. Proprietary fans in general should be avoided, as 99% of all fans use the same connectors

whys that

#

isnt that how u change the colors and stuff for them

Because then you have to run software that decreases your PCs performance just to run specific fans, because then they lock you in to those fans for no reason, because lots of fans exist with the standard connectors for every imaginable config

#

You can lose up to 10% FPS by running CAM or iCue, and up to 15% by running both

The software stays running. That's the point of bloatware fans, to lock you into that ecosystem
