    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    I grudgingly need to conform that. I bought one until I get my fingers on a Sentry, but although the footprint is okayish, it just does not feel nice. Tried to tell myself ist is just a little difference to the Sentry, but no. In between I got a Ncase M1 for just a fraction of the price and Ill...

    Will you work on a V2 in general? Do you have enough feedback and notes that it itches you to go back to the drawing board?

    That sounds quite reasonable. Maybe it is the Sentry then. In the Node 202 I finally decided to hang a 120 mm fan, (Noiseblocker NB-eLoop B12-PS, 120mm) atop the LP53, this really did do alot. It is quieter than the Noctua and it maybe the case that it helps dissipating the heat with the wider...

    Did you also put the liquid metal on the IHS or just on the DIE? Did you clean off all of the rubber between the PCB and the IHS? Even more important than the quality of the TIM is the distance between the DIE and the IHS. That is why one should also just use very little slicone. Also one...

    I cannot share my results of my different cooler configurations and thermal pastes. I just had to much shift in the ambient temps. Watch this. He has several videos up showing how big an effect the liquid metal has on GPUs. Do you have the 1 g syringe of Kryonaut? the 5 g syringe does have...

    I tinkered around with the liquid metal and decided not to use it between the CPUs HS and the cooler. I dellided some CPUs myself and liquid metal is great to use in this case, but it is a little messy. Would use it on a GPU though. The Kryonout did help the temps of the CPU but the delta is...

    I was a little bored while I wait for my shipment so I decided to pick up a cleaning tool https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71Yc98L528L._SY355_.jpg and delid my i3-4170. It was really easy. Cleaned it and for the lack of a Thermal Grizzly paste I just went with Arctic MX-4 and a...

    At Ej24: Since I will order the Kryonaut for other projects as well (my PS4 slim will receive a treatment), I can also use this. It has been reviewed as the "best" non-liquid metal based thermal paste. This fits the theory as the MX-4 has a thermal conductivity of 8.5 W/mK, the Thermakl...

    Ive done some reseach and modern liquid metal like http://www.thermal-grizzly.com/en/products/26-conductonaut-en will solidify at 10 degrees celsius. It cannot "dry out" be the common sense of the meaning but obv it can oxidate. Ill try it on my CPU shortly with the LP53+Noctua A9x14...

    My 4790k is delidded and treated with liquid metal. I didnt do it myself, I bought the CPU second hand in a German hardware board (hardwareluxx.de), I trust it has been done. What would you do to prevent it from dripping?

    DAN A4-SFX: The smallest gaming case in the world

    High Daniel, I've some ideas reagrdings the thermal design of your case. I have the impression that you are a PC case enthusiast. You might know the Silverstone FT02. I had this case before I went SFF. The 90° mobo tray worked really efficient for air cooling. The main advantage is that the GPU...

    I've been using a QNAP NAS for a while now and their software and hardware seems to be highly capable. One reason why I plan to get a Sentry is that I dont need that much internal storage anymore. And because its so sexy.

    The magnet I linked in my last post carries 16 kg (Haftkraft roughly translates to the weight you can put on that thing.

    Will you try to get a German distributor, like Caseking? It might have been asked before but is there an estimation when a non-backer customer can buy one? Do you think high end hardware will still be silent in office/idle?
