    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    Hmm, I purchased some M.2 thermal pads from SilverStone and the instructions suggest the pad be placed between the motherboard and the SSD. Because of that it will probably not be thick enough to connect to the chassis. Does anyone think they will still help or will they be uselems?

    Reviews for AMD’s APU Ryzen 2400G are in.

    Interesting you went with the ASRock AB350 ITX for Raven Ridge given the lack of DisplayPort (which as you said, wasn't an issue for you), and some issues with BIOS 4.40 and the beta BIOS 4.43 that I've read about or experienced myself. I'm glad it's working fine for you, it's the same...

    Hah, sorry for the confusion! But yes, the RAM design slopes diagonally at the corners so I was able to press it in completely with the HDD bracket just barely touching the corner. https://www.teamgroupinc.com/en/product/dark-pro-ddr4 I did not know about the screws for the bracket! I've been...

    Some RAM compatibility anecdotes: I first tried the Team Dark Pro 3200 MHz CL14 modules which are 45 mm tall, but the heat spreader design means it doesn't conflict with the bracket. And even if it didn't fit, I had the option to unscrew the plastic piece at the top, which is separate from the...

    I figured as much. I think I read a similar experience in this thread or the one on SFF Network saying the difference was negligible. As it is the NH-L9a-AM4 in my current build only fits perpendicular to the RAM slots for Ryzen motherboards, and my temperatures are perfectly fine under load...

    Nice, thank you for finding that, appreciate the help!

    My pleasure, hope it works out for you. Personally I don't know if the temperature difference is significant enough to justify the cost and hassle of switching motherboards, but I can also see how every degree counts for an i7-7700K in a Zaber Sentry. Ryzen's rectangular cooler mounting and the...

    I found this build log, which I actually referred to on the SFF Network forums when I was asking around about the LP53. Turns out that motherboard was indeed the Z270 Fatal1ty ITX and not the regular non-gaming Z270 ITX, which may explain why I was able to use the LP53 with fins parallel to RAM...

    The LP53 doesn't fit parallel to RAM? That's surprising, the ASRock Z270 ITX motherboard layout looks very similar to the Z170 Fatal1ty I had and I was able to get the fins parallel. I oriented the heat pipes towards the RAM slots and it was a pretty tight fit but it worked. Here's a picture of...

    Chrome 64 for Android: White Navigation Bar!?!

    I'm a fan of Firefox for Android, I like the extensions and privacy control with uBlock origin, Cookie AutoDelete, and Video Background Play Fix (the last one is so I can play YouTube videos with the screen turned off or while switching between tabs and apps) I use it on desktop as well so I can...

    I agree with your conclusion about CPUs with 95W TDPs. I moved my i7-7700K build into a Sentry last month with everything stock, no overclock and no delid. The cooler was an LP53 with Noctua NF-A9x14, but it still ran really hot; gaming would often raise CPU temperatures to 80-90 degrees C...
