Using multiple RGB/Fan software?

So I was thinking about maybe doing an RGB build in a Fractal S2 Vision RGB with the included fans (alhtough I wish the glass wasn't tinted). I was thinking about slowing them down in sofware, maybe using Asus's mobo tool for it. But then I wanted to get an NZXT Kraken x63 cooler because I love the infinity mirror on the pump, which I would need CAM to run right? And then I was thinking about swapping the Kraken fans with RGB fans (maybe Corsair), but then that would add ICUE software. Could I just set each profiles, then uninstall the apps to keep them for how they are? I saw Gamersnexus's video showing a lot of CPU usage when having the software running, but those parts are the aesthetic I wanted (Yes I know it's a little expensive but I saved up a long time for a dream build).  Here is the video I am referring to.

If you uninstall the software your profile likely won't stay, and it'll be a pain in the ass if they reset (my lightstrips swap off of white from time to time).

 

I personally use a few different softwares, and it's a pain in the ass, but all I do is set everything to white anyways.

 

Also keep in mind if you put Corsair fans on a Kraken, I don't believe the AIOs RGB itself will work in iCue.

yeah, but can I download the firmware and just keep it or close it when running my PC? NZXT doesn't have great looking fans IMO, but I love their pump look.

Yes you can. iCue also has a feature where you can set a default static colour when iCue is closed.

Bless, I was thinking of having the nzxt pump either like blue or rgb moving, and probably keep the Fractal and Corsair fans on like the normal rainbow vomit color loops. Is the normal color loop able to be on with software off?

I can't recall. I don't believe so, I think it's just static. And it might differ from software to software.
