    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    Ej24 thank you so much for the watt recommendation. I didn't think about that and it totally makes sense. I'm just at 1440 with one 32 in monitor and it seems like the 5700 trades blows with the 2060S on most games, so if I wanted to go green or red, there seem to be options abounding. I've...

    SENTRY 2.0: Evolution of console-sized gaming PC case

    I know the Asrock Challenger 5700 (and XT) have been mentioned before as able to fit in the sentry https://www.asrock.com/Graphics-Card/AMD/Radeon RX 5700 XT Challenger D 8G OC/#Specification it also appears that PowerColor is releasing a 5700 (and XT) model cards that will fit in the Sentry as...

    I hadn't seen that card yet! Thanks for the recommendation. I'll likely wait for some videos about temps and other things. I be potentially concerned about the height. 137mm will work if they are measuring from the bottom of the I/O plate and not the bottom of the card itself. The Sentry...

    SaperPL thank you so much for that. Now I know. I will shy away from basically anything that gets close to that marker. I tried the Sapphire Pulse Vega 56 when it came out (50mm) and it was indeed too loud, being too close to the case. My current 2060S fits nicely with plenty of room and is a...

    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    I've tried to look on the site and look at the GPU width size limit of the orginal 1.1 Sentry (I think 2.0 is the same size, but just saying what I have for reference and confirmation). I have the normal page for height/length dimensions for the Sentry and have been having very little issues...

    That's awesome! I don't have access to a 3D printer, but it looks like that site has printing options. I'd love to print this. I can speak from experience with the l9a, as it is what I have in my Sentry 1.1 now. Even without a fan, it's temps stay around 50-60 under load (vertical position)...

    If it is, then NVIDIA's is just as funny: https://wccftech.com/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1180-ti-specs-benchmarks-leaked-gt102-turing-gpu-with-10752-cuda-cores-2-5ghz-clock-titan-crushing-performance/

    In other news, this would be legendary inside the Sentry! https://wccftech.com/amd-project-canis-flagship-intel-joint-venture/ The question is, will it FIT!? I'm going to go out on a limb here and say likely not: 3x 8pin. 350wTDP. It just sounds simply massive. Hard to tell without any...

    SoSquidTaste , I don't see anything recent either, however, I currently, primarily due to GPU mining craze shortage, have a 960 open air GPU in my sentry from EVGA. I only play Overwatch mainly right now and FFXIV on occasion, and obviously a 960 can't handle more than High on both of those...

    Haha! It was actually a 27" monitor! And thankfully it was a business trip that I could drive to with a company car. Admittedly, carrying a 27" monitor into my hotel room looked weird, I would very much love to obtain a portable monitor that I could use. Still on the lookout for one of those...

    Went on a business trip and have had the pleasure of being able to take this bad boy with me! This is a PC gamer's dream come true! Now to find a smaller monitor! Still planning on taking more elegant build pictures soon, but thought I would share while it's still fresh. Thanks Zaber team!

    So, I have to thank you for this thermal pad! over 15 degrees Celsius of difference on my M.2 stick under load! It caps out at 50 under the most stress I can give it! So pleased with this purchase!

    I too used the SF600 out-of-the-box cables as my budget ran out. Honestly, they work pretty well, albeit far too long and I've got some of the extra length zip tied in the GPU chamber. The biggest thing you have to consider with them is massaging them before you try to plug them into your mobo...

    One more question. I bought this thermal pad too and would like to see an image of how to apply it. Do you have an image after you applied yours? Thanks!

    It also may have something to do with the SF450 from Corsair, or just Revo's unit. I have an SF600 and didn't have that issue. Screws lined up just like a charm. Although, a cursory glance at dimensions seems to suggest they are exactly the same.
