    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    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...

    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    Something else I didn't mention is that my Gpu never throttled back. I stay consistent at 1965mhz all the time. I never hit any thermal limits. This is why I wanted an open air from the start. The blower style cards from my research throttle constantly bc they have to reach there thermal temps...

    Also anyone wondering about m.2 temps on motherboards. I have not seen temps over 67 degrees. X370 asrock r5 1600. Ssd stays about 10c cooler

    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    During idle I have around 33-36c on CPU and around 43-47c on GPU. Normal gaming. 1hr into playing ghost recon on ultra. 67-69 on CPU. And 74-78 on GPU. For noise lvl during idle you can hear the fans on CPU even with all of them having the low noise adapter. It is minor but still not...

    Here is how I sealed the gpu and CPU compartment. It not 100% bc there are other gaps in places but it's sealed enough to make a thermal difference.

    I'm not sure if you read my rant about tinkering around. But I used a cheap solution to seal the compartments. I used a bendable plastic 3 ring binder. I just cut it to fit and used double sided 3m tape to keep it in place. It work d great and only cost about 3 dollars. Also I looked into the...

    I have a 1080ti in my sentry and it stays nice and cool. I did not go with a blower card. I would suggest closing off the CPU and gpu compartment. And just see what temps are like before you add fans or buy them in anticipation of your case if you don't have it yet. I bet it cools good. It's...

    So I haven't posted any pics yet. I have been busy trying different things with temps in my case. Waiting for fans and stuff of that nature. Today I finally received my 40mm fans. I tried a couple of things and this is what I ended up coming up with. Reading what everyone had been trying and...

    They are perpendicular. There is no way to rotate it 90 degrees. Plus with knowing that there will be a clearance issue. A custom bracket will work with the asrock x370 board

    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    Ok not so funny story. I had time tonight to mess around with the l9i tonight and it fits the x370 asrock board perfectly. With the right mounting kit obviously. But there is a small cut out on one side that fits right over the vram. I think when I was rushing and opening up everything the other...

    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    Yes it's not the bracket that's the problem. I don't have the bracket yet but just setting it on the board without the intel bracket on. it hits on the vram. It's too wide for the asrock x370. At least it looked that way. The stock amd cooler has a little notch in the bottom of the heat sink and...
