Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
My case from transport #2 finally arrived. Took 8 weeks and 2 days from Poland to California. Box is in excellent condition, no damage at all. The bad news is I'm out of town for 2 months :(
I think more than tunneling hot air out, its more important to pull fresh cold air into the case. A guy on reddit created ducting for his 1070 in his Node 202 and said it dropped temps from 61°C to 50°C. Image gallery.
Thanks for this, I'm in the US and I used the original tracking number in my local mail carrier (USPS) website and the tracking information came up. USPS doesn't have the first couple of stops, but otherwise they both have the same info. I can also sign up for text updates on the USPS website...
I'm not sure how much space the backplate will need but the Wraith Spire will not fit in the Sentry. Its 70mm from the top of the CPU to the top of the fan. You can take a look at it here.
Be Quiet is using M3x15 screws for their AM4 mounting kit. Link
Edit: You may have luck asking /u/AMD_Robert on Reddit he was answering questions about AM4 mounting hardware.
I completely agree that Polaris cards are more power hungry that Pascal, but the price-to-performance and the lower price of FreeSync monitors make me lean more towards AMD. I also feel that AMD has been doing a much better job with their drivers since the Polaris launch. Hardware Canucks...
For me, it was all about portability, I'm going to keep my build pretty simple/cheap: i5-7500 + RX480. I mainly use my computer for browsing and Overwatch. I was willing to spend the money on the sentry because I travel frequently and the choice was between keeping my old Lenovo T430 (Overwatch...
The 394W figure Hardocp shows is total system wattage measured at the wall, so it includes ASUS Z170-A + i7 6700K @ 4.7GHz + 16GB Corsair DDR4 RAM + SSD + PSU inefficiencies. TomsHardware has power consumption of just the card at 294W peak. Its definitely a hot card especially since Nvidia...
I was seriously considering the Corsiar Bulldog (23L) before discovering the Sentry. It looks like they are upgrading it for 2017, and the new H6 SF cooler looks interesting. Hopefully they'll keep developing coolers for SFF cases. I guess most companies want to keep their cases compatible with...
IIRC most of the air moved by a fan happens at the tip of the blade. A larger fan moves more air, but have less air flow though the CPU heatsink which is more central; a larger fan would keep the motherboard cooler.
