    DAN HSLP-48: A powerful sub 50mm heatsink

    Ahh okay. I thought that was just the initial shipment and that the issue was already rectified. Looks like I'll be ordering a second one in February! Haha.

    DAN HSLP-48: A powerful sub 50mm heatsink

    To be clear... Do you mean that there is supposed to be an updated cooler that will be coming in February or that they are simply going to be restocked? The one I ordered from Overclockers UK January 7th performs similar to my LP53 w/ noctua A12x15 fan. However I configured the fan to blow...

    DAN HSLP-48: A powerful sub 50mm heatsink

    It looks like /u/volopasse called overclockers UK ~7 days ago and they said the issue has been rectified. I can't find any other sources that mention this other than the few people contacting them directly. If anyone else has more info I'd love to know before ordering one for my Sentry...

    SaperPL and ZombiPL. I have some design questions regarding thermals. I have a blower (founder edition) 1080Ti. I know cooling it isn't perfect in Sentry. However, would it be beneficial to seal off the GPU chamber from the CPU and PSU? (I have a 7700k CPU). Logic says yes, but I would like...

    The mock ducting I did following your method Ej24 helped CPU temps ~5 degrees C and 1080Ti gpu boost clock ~100MHz (from around 1500MHz to around 1600MHz).

    Correct, the 7700k is delided. However, this gaming test was during the Crysis 3 grass level torture test, this stresses the CPU a lot. Gaming in something like Overwatch or Doom holds the CPU temps at around 65-70C. The 120mm fan is actually off center where the bottom of the fan meets up with...

    See attached screenshot during Crysis 3 "Welcome to the Jungle" grass level stress for ~8 minutes. I'm curious by what St1X said... I'm going to try to reverse the CPU fan to use as exhaust, and test again... Right now it's sucking fresh air in from the outside and blowing it down onto the CPU...

    My 1080Ti FE temps are fine. Sits at 84C and just adjusts the boost clock. Mine hovers around 1700mhz boost. I'm not sure if repasting will give any noticeable benefits... But now I'm curious.

    I have a 1080Ti FE but no sentry yet white + black order #139 or something. (Minnesota, USA). And in my old micro ATX case the GPU stays pegged at 84C with the boost clock fluctuating between ~1650mhz-1850mhz. The performance is a noticeable jump from a 1080 even if it's a low clocked blower...

    I have a gsync monitor (acer xb270hu) and gsync is nice... But overall the upgrade from 60hz to 144hz was a huge improvement. G-sync is nice but not worth the massive price premium IMHO.

    Does this Xeon come with crappy TIM on the die or is it soldered? That is... If you were to delid, overall curious to see how much that would be holding it back?

    I believe it's compatible if you removed the heatsinks which aren't needed if you're not overclocking.

    The bandwidth and as a result the theoretical performance might be way better, but like SaperPL said, the real world difference is like 5-10% at best. Even with memory intensive workloads. Linustechtips did a video on it if you're curious.

    As long as you get the thermolab LP53 with a Noctua 92x14mm fan and a reference (founders edition) 1080Ti it will work fine. You will see boosts and noise will be fine, just not as good as a huge case with massive airflow, but usable nonetheless.

    Ftw3 no, sc2 yes. The TDP is too high on these cards anyway and it's recommended that you get the founders edition instead. Though do whatever you wish!

    Not in the sentry and a card with less TDP had bad results. See my post above.

    I can confirm that SaperPL is right. Even in a larger case that I have now (NZXT Vulcan), my 7700k goes from 80C in stressful gaming (crysis 3) with a blower GPU to 95C (system freezes) with an open air aftermarket GTX 1080 (Zotac amp extreme). Which should be indicative of the performance of a...

    1) I'm aware of the size and TDP. I'm currently using this as a 30 day upgrade until I return it to microcenter and get a founders edition 1080 Ti when they're back in stock. 2) I was considering the EVGA icx superclocked 1080Ti which is 250W open air, close to this zotac 1080. The case I have...

    Sad news all. The results of my Dynatron R15 mounted with zip ties and a copper shim with paste on both sides is less than ideal. I wasn't sure how well it would perform with limited mounting pressure and grease on both sides of this shim... ~80C during CPU-z stress was satisfactory, but that's...

    Isn't CAS latency tied to overall bandwidth just like clock speed? I know there's an equation out there somewhere. Edit* yeah nevermind, it's more complicated than I thought. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAS_latency
