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.

Soooo... I decided to get myself a PNY 1080Ti FE. And I don't regret it at all. This card is amazing! Obviously, temps are pretty high. I added a 40mm fan to pull hot air out near the gpu i/o. Lowered my average temperatures by ~5°C. I read that someone else added 40mm fans to the gpu...- beneken

The only problem is that fe cards are too expensive right now :/ I would buy a 1070, but they are almost as expensive as 1080s... Even worse is that I have sold my msi gaming x 1070 back in may. For practically nothing. But I always liked the idea that fans will turn off when it's cold...- beneken

Yeah, the MSI Aero hit 90°C+ easily when I started a game. I know it doesn't have a vapor camber, but is it such a big deal? Will the vapor chamber cool the 1080 more than 3 fans? Has anyone tried the 1080 Gaming G1 or Windforce? I'd like to know what temps other people are having...- beneken

Does anyone know if there's a difference between the Gigabyte 1080 Gaming G1 and the Windforce 3x? I don't care about the backplate, but if there's a difference in cooling I would concider spending more for the G1...- beneken

The guy in the video says the card will hit 80°+ degrees while gaming. I suppose that is in a regular case... so it's probably not usable in the sentry?- beneken

Hey guys. I know the sentry wasn't build for 180W GPUs, but since alot of you seemed to be very confident in using a 1080 or even a 1080Ti, I decided to go with a MSI 1080 Aero OC. My build is: i7 7700 (non k) MSI Aero 1080 OC 16GB RAM Noctula NH L9i Corsair SF450 a 4k monitor I just played...- beneken

Alright, the mainboard is broken. I tried various combinations with other components. The other mainboard still works, so its not the riser.- beneken

As I said, I tried it without the riser. Doesn't work. The sentry (nr. 11) has been delivered for 2 months now, but I was in a different county so I could't play with it. When I picked it up today I was so full of anticipation that I was stupid and didn't try it without the riser first. :( But...- beneken

I have the following problem: For my Sentry build I used my "old" ASRock Z270m ac. I sold my 1070 because it was too big and got a MSI Aero 1080OC. Today I started assembling. Everything seemed to fit together, no hard pushing or bending cables or connectors. When I turn on the machine, the...- beneken

I noticed that everyone uses the NH L9 in the same orientation (openings towards ram and connectors). Isn't it smarter to turn it by 90° so the hot air can escape?- beneken

I'll use a i7 7700 and get new radeon card (5xx or maybe vega) once they are released. Until then I'll try to use my MSI Gaming X 1070 in an open sentry.- beneken
