  1. As @W-L mentioned, there should be a lighting controller inside the case, and the strips can be used as an expansion on that controller. I believe they come with instructions as to how to do this. According to Phanteks, the P400 is compatible, so you should be able to accomplish RGB control this way. If your motherboard does not have a motherboard header, it is possible to control the strips by soldering the pin out to a USB adapter such as this. You could then use a USB to USB header cable to connect it to the motherboard, though this is a very roundabout solution. Honestly the only viable solution is to attach it to the lighting control already in the P400. It should be possible!
  2. The Rampage V and IV are the same size, so if you follow the method used to make the IV fit you should be fine. An alternative case would be the Phanteks P400S TGE. It is also a mid tower of similar size, with similar features, and the added benefit of a tempered glass panel, and most importantly support for E-ATX motherboards. You could also get the acrylic side panel version instead to save money. On another note, why exactly did you get the 6850k? The only advantage it has over the 6800k are extra PCIe lanes, which are rarely necessary. It is generally considered to have the worst price:performance out of any X99 CPU, except in very specific circumstances. I apologise if you are aware of this, just wanted to double check
  3. Try and keep dialling down the voltage until you arrive at the lowest possible stable voltage. I'd be surprised if you weren't able to maintain those clocks at lower voltages; that would be pretty unusually bad for a 6800k, but of course there are variances from chip to chip and you may just have gotten unlucky.
  4. Mobo codes aren't always accurate by any stretch, and each one can mean multiple things. What it specifically means is that the CPU isn't receiving enough stable voltage, not necessarily that VCORE is just set too low. That Qcode usually means the LLC is off, not that VCORE is too low.
  5. Not necessarily, it's usually a RAM issue. It could also be OVP being triggered by those crazy voltages. It's a crazy unnecessary voltage for that CPU, you should be able to get it to run stable at 4.4GHz with 1.37/1 .38 at the most with that mobo and cooler.
  6. I think his point is that it's way too high, dial it down by at least 0.1V.
  7. What cooler are you using? It's pretty common for core temps to vary by 15-20% across cores, as active threads are switched from core to core, but those temps are crazy high for a 6800k. 1.45V is also extremely high, and what is causing your temps. Did you set that manually or is it on auto voltage? Turn it down to 1.35V at the most and see how your temps fare.
  8. 1. He had to give it 1.312V 2. CPUs vary too. 3. I never said it wasn't good, just that it wasn't the best; I even use one in my own personal rig. 4. It doesn't have a true 6+4 VRM like some of the better OCing boards do, its 6+4 is doubled from a 2+3. I can tell you this for a fact because I own one. 5. Just because he got it to boot at 5GHz doesn't mean it was stable. Lower phase count VRMs can cause stability issues as the voltage will vary more. 6. He didn't have it clocked at a constant 5GHz like you asked, he had it at 4.7GHz with a 5GHz turbo boost.
  9. It's probably the best all-round board at that price point, but it isn't the best available for higher OCs. Only about 50% of 7700ks can reach 5GHz anyway, and its VRM isn't the best around. It's a great board with tons of features, but isn't going to give you the highest OCs.
  10. That makes sense. With all of the space you have it would be very easy to add a second loop in the future without too much hassle. Are you using soft or hard tubing? You can put it wherever is easiest/looks best, as long as the valve is the most rightward component in the desk, so that when you tip the desk up it will become the lowest point of the loop. As it's only a relatively small/simple loop it should be quite easy to drain after that by just blowing through it!
  11. The easiest way to use a drain port in a horizontal build is to put it at the edge of the desk, on either side. That way to drain it, you can just tip the desk on its side, making it the lowest point in the loop. Even if you place the valve directly after the pump, you won't be able to run the pump to drain it. As soon as the reservoir empties, the pump will start pulling in air because the flow rate of the pump is far faster than the rate fluid will come out of the drain valve, and will damage the pump pretty quickly. What you can do, though, is blow into the tube you use for filling and that will act as a makeshift pump and force the fluid out of the valve. Enjoy your build, it will be awesome! I assume by your diagram you are planning to only liquid cool the CPU?
  12. No, I can measure it for you though. Approx 7.2cm for that measurement
  13. Top is just about 7cm in diameter. Sits about 8.5cm off the bottom of the case when mounted using the standard included mount. Measured it off an XTOP Revo D5 Plexi.
  14. That's what I said? @Max_Settings I would be very surprised if it wasn't still covered. I think what everyone is trying to say is don't open it up yourself; RMA it and let Razer deal with it.
  15. It's not worth voiding your warranty to swap the TIM yourself. If it's still under warranty I would RMA it. Razer tend to be pretty good about this kind of thing. I would agree that it's definitely RMA worthy. Those temps are insane, and definitely not typical or acceptable.
