Tried simple things like unplugging the USB to the motherboard, stopping the Cam software in Device Manager and restarting it there. I've even uninstalled and reinstalled the Cam software. I'm kind of at a loss!
some confusion here, Device Manager is for hardware devices, do you mean you start/stopped the fan controller device? Or that you start/stopped Cam in Services?
After you update your mobo BIOS to the latest version, open Device Manager and 1. Check to see if there are any devices with warnings for missing drivers and install those drivers, 2. Make sure your USB fan controller is showing up as a device.
As someone with two Kraken AiOs I'll say the Cam software is complete garbage, so good luck
Personally I use liquidctl with some scripts I wrote to control mine, but that's definitely advanced stuff and you should try to get it showing up in Cam before you try anything else.

Sorry, this one.

Yeah, I think this was an issue as well before. If I unplugged the USB form the MB while on I'd get an error message basically saying Windows did not recognize the device.

That's the problem with this stuff. Tons of great reviews, but a handful of absolutely terrible ones...or basically exactly the types of reviews you find on line for nearly anything.

Yup...way above my paygrade.
