Has a consensus been reached on what is the best cooler for AM4 in Sentry?

222Rn, where you able to figure out if there is any reason to go for ASRock Fatal1ty X370 Gaming-ITX/ac?

Did anyone try GTX 1070 Aero from MSI? This review http://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/msi-geforce-gtx-1070-aero-itx-oc-review,1.html suggests that it is better than the founders edition and cheaper at the same time.

Fatal1ty X370 Gaming-ITX/ac looks awesome, good wifi, ethernet, nice VRMs, best audio. Anyone has any hints how to get them early? I'm tired of waiting.

Did you get the 1080ti blower card or only the blower itself? If you got only the blower, how easy was it to mount?

Do you think you'll be able to cool non-blower 1080ti in Sentry?

Sentry was marketed as a case that is build for mobile road-warrior use. If this cooler is also targeting Sentry bankers, it would be nice to make it reliable in mobile setting.

Those building Senty for mobile use, be aware that this board does NOT have integrated WiFi.

Given all the feedback from people who already tried Ryzen, it gets a substantial boost (>10%) from good memory, without more power consumption from the CPU. It seems that so far, TridentZ has best memory around(with samsung b-dies). Do you think it will fit?

Given that all Mini-ITX that we know so far either lack M.2 or lack Wifi, I guess I'll use something like https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-Motherboard-4-Pin-Header-USBMBADAPT/dp/B000IV6S9S to plug USB Wifi-adapter to internal USB header.

X370 Mini-itx from biostar(1 x M.2, no Wifi) https://wccftech.com/first-amd-ryzen-mini-itx-motherboard-detailed/

As a to-be-owner of Sentry I feel perfectly comfortable paying 146$ (+ shipping) for a coller that out-perfroms others while being small.

New mITX Motherboard from Gigabyte: Has wifi. Doesn't seem to have m.2.

Could you please add option "not decided yet between ryzen and kaby lake"? I'm waiting to see a good mini-itx board with onboard wifi. Additionally, I'm waiting to see how does ryzen perform in ~2 month when all bios, microcode and OS patches are out.

> X370? Isn't this supposed to be X300? That's indeed X370. Biostar managed to fit it into Mini-ITX.

Mini-ITX mobo for Ryzen from biostar exists.

SaperPL, do you think it's possible to cool 95W of R7 1800X in Sentry?

I second this. I also agree that it's better to use full-copper design if possible, as we're investing 200$ in cases, I don't see problem investing 150$ in cooler.

Given a motherboard that supports setting custom cpu voltage and multipliers, it is possible to reduce power consumption and heat emission by the cpu. But how much would depend on every particular chip. It's not very uncommon to be able to under-volt cpu slightly without sacrificing any...

Currently I have i7 7700k in my desk, but I'm waiting for Ryzen benchmarks to see if 1800X will be a better decision. If the leaks are true it seems that 1800X would be better for my use-case, even more given that every bit of cooling would help XFR.

The backround: I'm looking for a case that is easy to transport, but sometimes I need to do very intensive computations fast. I pre-ordered sentry, as it's the most mobile case that I was able to find, now I'm thinking if there's a way to mod it to get better cooling while not sacrificing much...

I've also been looking closely to leaks about Ryzen. Do you think we'll have any luck cooling R7 1800X in Sentry?

:+1:

Hi everyone, I'm considering buying 7700k for Sentry under assumption that if It becomes too hot, it will underclock itself down to TPD level that the cooling could sustain. Am I right in assuming that 7700k can be effectively turned to 3.8Ghz 7700t with 35W consumption using underclocking or...
