Hello, I set up my Kraken Z73 using a NZXT USB Hub since there were no USB ports left. After restarting, the LCD GIF didn’t appear and I had to launch NZXT Cam to restore settings. When I connected it directly to a MB USB 2.0 hub, it remembered the GIF and settings on each restart. I’m wondering if there’s a fix for my USB hub? My setup includes an MB Asus B550 E Gaming with two USB 2.0 ports, a Lian Li SL INF Controller, and a Kraken cooler—all requiring one USB port each.

I believe your cooler sets the priority above all other components in the setup. You should have a label indicating the CPU fan. If you're discussing rainbow lights and their control, hubs are appropriate. If you won't use front panel USB 2.0, you can repurpose it for controls. Alternatively, you can buy OEM internal USB hubs.

Looking for an external I/O option for the micro USB?
