hey guys, I have a few questions regarding the p400a case. The first question is; Would I be able to control the led fan lights with the b450 tomahawk max? or would I just have to use the rgb fan controller. The second question is; what would be the best mounting/configuration for my cpu cooler (hyper 212 black edition) on my motherboard for cooling in this case? Any help with this would be great!

You will most likely need an adapter for the rgb to be mobo controlled. I had to do that with my P400TG and my P400S cases. 

 

As for the cooler, it only goes on one way. But just make sure the fans face the front and the rear of the case. I attached an image of my case with a hyper 212 Evo installed.

What kind of GPU cooler do you have?  Is it blower style or open air like most 3rd party cooling solutions?  IF it's open air I would suggest 3 front intakes that come with the case, and if you have any extra fans, the top front as intake, while the top back and exhaust are exhaust.

QUOTE ME IN A REPLY SO I CAN SEE THE NOTIFICATION!

When there is no danger of failure there is no pleasure in success.

Fan near the ram, blowing air through the cooling tower towards the rear case fan.
