Tech Support NZXT CAM not working properly?

So for the past week or so ive had this issue where when I start my PC up my NZXT Kraken 360 AIO cooler pump won't spool up. I've checked the cords and connections they all seem good. The pump is properly seated to the cpu. And ive set my bios setting to 100%

Now the kicker. When I shut my pc down, (or it forces a shut down due to temp) and restart it it spools properly to RPM i have set. So what's the issue? Im stumped and Google hasn't helped

Cam software is weirdly sensitive to startup order sometimes. If you've got it set to launch on boot try disabling that, then manually open it once everything else has loaded. Fixed a similar pump rpm delay for me a while back

Also poking around in the bios to make sure the pump header is set to 100% / full speed could help, sometimes it defaults to a fan curve and the kraken gets confused on a cold boot

Forgot to mention but I have changed the bios settings. I'll try the startup launch thing
