Question I am in an RGB dilemma!!!!

I purchased a NZXT H9 Case because of the space and design. It comes with non-RGB fans, but I wanted RGB fans so I purchased NZXT duo 120 RGB fans for the bottom the side panel and the rear. I purchased a X73 Kraken CPU equipped with RGB fans. I wondered how I would get the motherboard RGB (MSI Carbon X670E) plus the RAM RGB to work with the fan RGB.
BOY!!! I got in the weeds quickly. I understand that MSI uses the Mystic Light Software and that will run the on-board RGB and maybe the RGB RAM (Corsair Vengence 6000). I also understand that the NZXT fans and the Kraken PUMP run off of the CAM software.

Can I run CAM on some things and Mystic Light on others?

Can I use a hub to plug in the fans and RGB to and run off a MB header?

I don't know how the Kraken System would work with this or can it?

Or am I in a mess and need to re-think my life choices on this build?
 
Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

Include PSU: make, model, wattage, age, condition (original to build, new, refurbished, used)?

Disk drive(s): make, model, capacity, how full?

Fans (all fans): make, model, size, locations, etc....
 
I guess you're right. A full system description would make sense.
