★ Working the corner ★

Running Cornerman

A tray tool for the 2023 NZXT Kraken Elite. No installer — four steps and you're cooling.

Quit NZXT CAM

Only one app can hold the cooler at a time. Close CAM — or anything else talking to it — before you start.

Look in the tray

Run Cornerman.exe. No window opens — it lives in the system tray, and its icon shows your live coolant temperature.

Click to control

Double-click the tray icon for the control panel; right-click it for profiles, manual duty, and Exit.

Run it at login

Optional: press Win+R, type shell:startup, and drop a shortcut to Cornerman.exe in that folder. Delete the shortcut to stop — it never adds itself.
