The kraken has a daisy chain that you run all the fans off of or there is also enough headers on the mobo if you want to go that route

Really happy with the result. Downloaded battlefield 1 and I'm running 1440p@ 100fps with ultra settings with gpu temp<70 and CPU temps around 65-70.

I actually fixed the problem finally after hours and hours of trial and error. What I ended up doing is resetting the bios to the default optimized settings (not cmos clear). Then I manually oc'ed my cpu. Stable. Then I manually played around with my ram. Started at its recommended overclocked...

Well would reducing the timings reduce heat at all? I retried the 2500 today at stock timings and temps went too high again. Fml I'm really at a loss.

I'm a little hesitant on that. Don't have much experience with memory timings

Yeah that might just be the result I have to live with, but I'm super disappointed about it. Spent extra money on ram for what? Maybe I can take advantage of it later down the road. Just wish there was a better answer.

I'll be mostly gaming

So after messing with alot of settings, the only thing I could get to work was changing the DRAM voltage from the XMP setting of 1.35 to auto and downclocking my memory from its XMP rating of 3200 to around 2500mhz. This seems drastic to me. Has this ever been heard of before or am I missing...

So I tried reducing viccio and system agent down to 1.0 and still getting high temps. Will try some other tweaks and report back.

Yes I did. The frequency is staying the same and it set bclk to 100

Hmm ok well what step should i take first?

Hi, I have just managed to finally get a stable overclock on my i7 7700k @ 4.9GHz with 1.32v with default memory settings. The next step I took was enabling XMP, but this caused my core temps to rise about 5-15c. What could be causing this, and how do i remedy it? Should I manually set my ram...

Hi. I am a complete noob to overclocking so please be patient with me. I have been reading extensive guides for days, and i still cant get anything right when trying to overclock. I am looking for a polite soul to help walk me through the process, since everything I've tried is failing. Thanks...

Ok that's what I thought. My next question is if the cam software can control the pump and fan speeds separately. Ideally I would like my pump to be maxed at 100% all the time, but don't want my fans blasting away all the time. I am worried that if I plug all my fans into the kraken connector, I...
