So i have been putting my rig through the ringer. In the past 5 days I have added at least 10-12 hrs a day gaming on it.
New reports with hardware under gaming loads for extended periods.
GPU-EVGA 1080TI sc2 - temp target set at 80c. runs between 78c and 80c. minor throttling on frequency. 1765-1965
CPU-Ryzen 5-1600 stock - temps hit 79c. using the adhesive thermal stripping to direct air in only and attatched 2 40mm fans if you have seen my previous post. Also the cpu/gpu compartments are sealed off. (io shield ON) going to test this without soon and might also check into 3d printing a different method other than the weather stripping and sealing off around the fans.
M.2 mx300 - hits 69c after longer saturation periods. not concerned bc this is well below what i am comfortable with.
my thoughts, I would like to tame the cpu temps better. I am looking into custom 3d prints for air channels. and i may also see about the lp53. I am also interested in seeing the noctua full copper heatsink finally come available. GPU i am not concerned with as its staying at or below target temp. I may make a custom shroud and ditch the stock shroud. something that only pulls air from the side with a couple 40m fans at the top of case exhausting air. the sf600 is working flawlessly not temp issues and it does not spin up very often so its practically silent.
I set about 2-3 feet from my pc and noise is not too bad at all. the best I can compare it to is having a PS3 setting next to you while gaming. You know its there but its not so bad that its the only thing you notice. with that said I use a soundbar while gaming most of the time and I personally do not notice it.
If anyone has any questions please feel free to ask. I am trying to share my experience with the sentry as much as possible.
P.S. I use my computer to game, light web browsing, and video streaming.
