nzxt cam software, is this normal?

Firstly sorry if this in posted in the wrong section- admin please feel free to move to a more appropriate section.
Ok the problem/question I have is follows- I have a kraken cooler in my system with the CAM monitoring software installed. I have noticed that the usage on the cpu, disk and network graphs is in permanent up/down/up/down spikes and is showing as nvvsvc as the highest used app. I've uninstalled geforce experience as I thought this could be the culprit but the usage remained the same.
I have checked using the task manager monitor, and what I have now found is that when CAM is shut down/closed the usage backs off to nothing- so its actually CAM thats the issue!
So, any idea if this is normal behavior or is there something sinister going on?
Any help would be great, thanks in advance!

I also use the CAM software, i don't have nvvsvc showing on task manager. CAM shows on the CAM software as using approx 1.0% of my cpu. i have googled nvvsvc and it is part of the nvidia display driver. Give it a google yourself, it gives a full explanation.

Let me know if you find anything varkanoid- just to reiterate, it is CAM that is causing the issue here it seems, NOT nvvsvc. I will get some screenshots of the graphs so you have a clear idea on the usage spikes.

Another thing thats quite worrying is the net usage CAM is using....
I'd be very keen to get some feedback here
Thanks guys :-)

Mines nothing like yours. What OS are you in as I think nvvsvc is part of the Windows 7 Nvidia driver and I have 8.1

edit: found it Nvidia Driver Helper Service so you have this running in memory.

If its part of Geforce Experience and you've uninstalled it then it could be its not fully uninstalled and this maybe causing the issue its trying to work with parts of the program not there anymore and causing issues.

eg its like saying Are you there, Are you there loads of times because its not getting a response from the rest of the software because its not there to return a response. Put in basic terms.

Brilliant thanks varkanoid! I will do a clean sweep of all nvidia files, reinstalling only the driver and cp and see if that cures it- i will report back!
Thanks again :-)
