No, you would not. More likely you'll get more power. If you GPU throttles it will drop it's frequency. If you undervolt it, it will keep it's boost more

Try undervolting your GPU! It did magic with my Radeon VII

I use Cryorig C7 Cu in my case with Noctua fan, it's definitely better than both this one and Noctual L9

I am super sensitive to noise. And I am a night owl, so I can work at night, in complete silence quite often. I never wear headphones. I'd prefer my CPU to ran hot and quite than the opposite, so I edited my fan settings to ramp up RPM slowly. It gave me bearable noise levels. OFC sometimes when...

Well, I just built my Sentry 2.0 with C7 and Noctua fan - I haven't done enough testing to draw any conclusions yet, but it seems to be reasonably quite and I don't have any air turbulence issues. Thanks for reply, though!

I undervolted Radeon VII to 950mv @ 1800Mhz and after an hour of Metro Exodus CPU and GPU both peaked at 65C. My Sentry is hell of a beast!

So I played Metro Exodus for around 1:30 h and GPU peaked at 80 C because it maintained low fan rpm, was quite silent and CPU (AMD Ryzen 5 1600) peaked at 62 C. I am very excited about performance\noise\thermals combination. Will try to undervolt GPU, though

I pushed all cables aside and successfully closed the case 8) So you can update your GPU compatibility list to include Radeon VII - it fits, but only with low profile power cables. I used this ones -...

Finally I built it - Sentry with Radeon VII

Anyone tested Cryorig C7 with Noctua's fan on low RPM? How's noise? Don't know what cooler to buy - there's a lot of information about C7 causing too much noise because of turbulence, and it seems that L9a isn't as good as C7 when it comes to heat dissipation

Thanks for a reply! I wasn't considering to use Cryorig with their stock fan - I'd replace it instantly with Noctua's fan. But as far as I've heard somewhere - it was causing too much turbulence, so was quite loud?!

is there a consensus on the best cooler for Sentry? As far as I understand Black Ridge needs low profile RAM and I have TridentZ that's quite tall, so there are only two options there - Noclua L9A and Cryorig C7 (Copper Edition)? Which one should I buy? Looking to build new rig in my Sentry over...

I got Radeon VII as a gift from AMD, but can't put it in my Sentry :'(

Don't expect 3700X to consume 65 watt - it'll go up to 130 easy on boost and may go beyond that.

So when we'll be able to buy it? :)
