This is exactly what I used. Got the pocket driver kit on sale a while back and it worked perfectly on my Sentry.

Seconding this. East coast, Indiana. First white batch. Package arrived with slight tearing of plastic and one small ballpoint pen sized hole. Did not get farther than the outer cardboard layer.

Yeah, that particular card decided to kill itself for the 4th time so it was not in my rig. Happened to be around so I thought I'd illustrate your point :) Pretty soon it will be going back to RMA... again. I have a 670 in the case now, going to buy a midrange card whenever the mining craze...

Got my case - unit #4 :) Anyone here lower than that? I'll have a full writeup later but because I'm feeling whimsical here's what a 980ti KPE looks like in Sentry XD

Also just got updated USPS tracking. 1st batch of white Sentry. Last message was May 29 showing "Processed at PRUSZCZ GDANSKI WER, POLAND". Region is US Midwest. So all in all 7 weeks of zero updates coming across the Atlantic if that helps anyone else ballpark.

I haven't opened it up and peeked under the IHS, but I've used my overclocked 4770K die>IHS with Liquid Metal Ultra since the day I bought it in a vertical position. As far as I can tell I haven't had any noticeable thermal issues with flow or pump-out and I use my tower vertically. It hasn't...

Coming up on 6 weeks with no tracking. First shipment of white cases, region US eastern. Cmon cargo ship, hurry up and dock! I really appreciate the transparency from the Zaber team, I'd be going completely stir-crazy otherwise.

I still like the idea of replacing an SFX-L PSU fan with a high flow model and ducting the PSU exhaust across the CPU heatsink. I bet you could get a similar temp drop on the CPU that way. Modern PSUs are so efficient it just seems wasteful having a 120mm fan mount on a 50w heat load - I'd...

Vapor chambers are almost certainly more effective at heat transfer, I remember the difference when NVIDIA started using them for their reference coolers. I'm not sure how effective the vapor chamber base wicking is from the condensation side, but from what I've seen quality vapor chambers have...

Copper C7 looking pretty nice... http://www.cryorig.com/news.php?id=74&page=1

I used to read Tom's religiously. Now their ads outnumber the content (I just checked a few minutes ago... ads took up a solid 50% of the frontpage). SFF and Bit-Tech I see occasionally but those are still pretty niche (most of the folks there who want an SFF case probably have one already)...

As someone else with Beyerdynamic DT770Pro cans (80ohm)... they are very sensitive to output impedance and you're going to get interference from running any kind of unshielded DIY audio jack setup inside a tightly packed metal case with a short distance between the PSU and everything else. You...

Yeah, but I'd still kill for a high dissipation SFF cooler. I'd rather wrestle with internal components then compromise on the case (sometimes needed on full size cases as well to add oversized watercooling radiators, tube cutouts, push pull configs, extra drive cages etc). Personally I'm still...

I keep finding interesting heatsinks for these new 150-165W server processors. Right now I see a lot of buzz on 3D vapor chambers where the working fluid flows directly into the heatpipes rather than conducting through a metal interface - both Cooler Master and HP (Z series coolers) are starting...

Well, you do get a few things 1. Multiplier underclocking 2. Not going to need the box cooler included 3. Futureproofing, when I decide to put something else in the Sentry down the line 4. Maximum power in minimum space

Left/top keep out would be the two sides on the right half of this image You might have to twist it around in your head a bit, I use the two hole side of the latch cover to orient myself. Stock HSF - just the default heatsink+fan provided by Intel with (some) of their processors.

You're acting like I can't run it on a vertical offset. From the pictures I've seen of other Dynatron units, the entire base is a vapor chamber. Basically, I leave the VRM sink on the top as is, shim over the round caps on left and top, and either shim over the lower sink or just "monoblock"...

It's actually 25mm shorter than a standard DIMM, according to Wikipedia. I don't have any handy (or a caliper) but he's making it sound even more huge than it actually is. Right now I'm just operating under the assumption that the manufacturer specs are correct, which should fit with a bit of...

I mean, that is what I said... The thing is, it's actually narrower than the stock HSF. On my board (Z170i pro gaming) all the tall chokes and such are north, east, and west of the socket. There's really nothing except for a small southbridge heatsink between the CPU and GPU sockets. 2-4mm of...

Link to their site - http://www.dynatron-corp.com/?product=b2 I can't find anywhere to buy it at the moment though. Probably because LGA3647 isn't actually out yet. That is going to be a monster die size with equally massive heat generation.

I might be going a little bit crazy with plans for this case. I'm pretty sure when the Dynatron B2 cooler goes up for sale I'll be able to MacGyver it in to my Sentry build. It's an all copper 1U 165W vapor chamber. Stated dimensions on their site put it at about 15mm narrower+longer than the...

I think the double version he's referring to is one of each. If you get one of each you can mix and match the parts however you'd like ;)

Moment.js is your friend, Saper :)

Nothing a hand drill couldn't fix. If you tap the holes you could screw from the inside of the panel and make it look clean (well, sort of). Or just use some plastic biting fan screws from the outside in and make sure the holes are big enough you don't strip them on the metal. I agree with Fero...

Still probably not the best choice for me at least, doubt it will cool an OC'd 6600k ;) I am looking at the Cooler Master XtraFlo 120 Slim or the upcoming 120x15mm slim Noctua to pump major CFM. Reviews for the 700w SilverStone PSU say the built in 120 is awful+noisy and tries way too hard to...

So I came up with a list of coolers ~1.5U form factor. Note that the case only officially supports up to 48mm so for anything larger YMMV. Some will fit with a fan, some are heatsinks that may fit with fan removed. With the fan removed you may be able to undermount on some C-Type coolers or do...

Great work so far, hoping to pick this case up for a wife build. Like the earlier poster I was hoping to improve ventilation in the case and had a thought. Assuming the blower GPU is mostly pulling its own input, would it be possible to section off a shroud around the CPU heatsink? Here's my...
