    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    Ej24 thank you so much for the watt recommendation. I didn't think about that and it totally makes sense. I'm just at 1440 with one 32 in monitor and it seems like the 5700 trades blows with the 2060S on most games, so if I wanted to go green or red, there seem to be options abounding. I've...

    SENTRY 2.0: Evolution of console-sized gaming PC case

    I know the Asrock Challenger 5700 (and XT) have been mentioned before as able to fit in the sentry https://www.asrock.com/Graphics-Card/AMD/Radeon RX 5700 XT Challenger D 8G OC/#Specification it also appears that PowerColor is releasing a 5700 (and XT) model cards that will fit in the Sentry as...

    I hadn't seen that card yet! Thanks for the recommendation. I'll likely wait for some videos about temps and other things. I be potentially concerned about the height. 137mm will work if they are measuring from the bottom of the I/O plate and not the bottom of the card itself. The Sentry...

    SaperPL thank you so much for that. Now I know. I will shy away from basically anything that gets close to that marker. I tried the Sapphire Pulse Vega 56 when it came out (50mm) and it was indeed too loud, being too close to the case. My current 2060S fits nicely with plenty of room and is a...

    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    I've tried to look on the site and look at the GPU width size limit of the orginal 1.1 Sentry (I think 2.0 is the same size, but just saying what I have for reference and confirmation). I have the normal page for height/length dimensions for the Sentry and have been having very little issues...

    That's awesome! I don't have access to a 3D printer, but it looks like that site has printing options. I'd love to print this. I can speak from experience with the l9a, as it is what I have in my Sentry 1.1 now. Even without a fan, it's temps stay around 50-60 under load (vertical position)...

    In other news, this would be legendary inside the Sentry! https://wccftech.com/amd-project-canis-flagship-intel-joint-venture/ The question is, will it FIT!? I'm going to go out on a limb here and say likely not: 3x 8pin. 350wTDP. It just sounds simply massive. Hard to tell without any...

    SoSquidTaste , I don't see anything recent either, however, I currently, primarily due to GPU mining craze shortage, have a 960 open air GPU in my sentry from EVGA. I only play Overwatch mainly right now and FFXIV on occasion, and obviously a 960 can't handle more than High on both of those...

    Haha! It was actually a 27" monitor! And thankfully it was a business trip that I could drive to with a company car. Admittedly, carrying a 27" monitor into my hotel room looked weird, I would very much love to obtain a portable monitor that I could use. Still on the lookout for one of those...

    Went on a business trip and have had the pleasure of being able to take this bad boy with me! This is a PC gamer's dream come true! Now to find a smaller monitor! Still planning on taking more elegant build pictures soon, but thought I would share while it's still fresh. Thanks Zaber team!

    So, I have to thank you for this thermal pad! over 15 degrees Celsius of difference on my M.2 stick under load! It caps out at 50 under the most stress I can give it! So pleased with this purchase!

    I too used the SF600 out-of-the-box cables as my budget ran out. Honestly, they work pretty well, albeit far too long and I've got some of the extra length zip tied in the GPU chamber. The biggest thing you have to consider with them is massaging them before you try to plug them into your mobo...

    One more question. I bought this thermal pad too and would like to see an image of how to apply it. Do you have an image after you applied yours? Thanks!

    It also may have something to do with the SF450 from Corsair, or just Revo's unit. I have an SF600 and didn't have that issue. Screws lined up just like a charm. Although, a cursory glance at dimensions seems to suggest they are exactly the same.

    I really like the idea of your build in your signature! Great touch 4884! Whenever I see a comment from you, I automatically know your use-case. Awesome!

    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    So, last night I turned it on, had the 4 time boot loop, made it into bios and then reset my CPU/RAM to defaults. Booted right up, so it appears you were right ZombiPL. I'll have to re-bench my R5 on this new cooler and see how high I can take it. I'm hoping I can get it back up to 3.7 again. I...

    Hrmmm, something I've never had happen before happened in my build today. Got finished building this morning and turned everything on. Comp turned on and off about 4-5 times before finally turning on and staying on. Booted just fine. I checked my cables and looked at temps with HW Monitor and...

    Just did my PCI riser last night. Only a small amount of force and it fit right in! The online manual was very helpful. It does seem like many are still confused on the PCI riser step. One thought I had after looking at the manual was maybe arrows facing the CPU side from the GPU side right in...

    Ej24, after my readthroughs, that seemed to be the consensus. I opted for an L9i with AM4 instead of an L9a for my use case. It should also be noted that it will depend on your CPU and how much you intend on overclocking and what you end up wanting to do with your Sentry. I had to think about...

    Haha! Same story for me. My L9i should be delivered sometime this week.

    Alright, I'm biting. Did you buy the foam, or were you able to use something you just found laying around? I'm getting the same Cooler and this looks like a great idea. Thanks!

    4th batch white Sentry delivered August 21st! I still need my Noctua L9i and bracket. My setup is waiting: Thank you again Zaber team! It's been worth the wait and will be exactly what I anticipated! I'll post build pics when I get my cooler. Also, I plan to upgrade the faithful 750ti one...

    4th Shipment White. Sent July 4th from Poland. Arrived at USPS Regional Facility August 19th! Should be out for delivery this week! So much hype! I can't wait to build in this! Thank you Zaber team!

    Keep me posted on when your package arrives. I signed up for text updates too, but haven't received anything as of yet and manual order tracking just shows the same updates when it left Poland. I may be one of those "never received updates, but it showed up on my doorstep" cases, which is...

    The Indiegogo campaign is currently closed, so there will be no more units sold from that campaign. They are currently in the process of shipping all of those units out and, after that, they will be working out specifics around sales for units outside the campaign. I believe the timeline on that...

    Sure, "generation" may have not been the best choice of words. "Cycle" may have been better, basically that we're not going to see any AM4 SFF coolers anytime soon and they may have the next Ryzen series out by the time we see that. Definitely get your point. Also, I don't know if you have...

    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    For those who were wondering about new coolers coming down the line, I checked in with Noctua and here's their response: No good there as NH-L12 w/o top fan is still 66mm and RAM clearance would be a problem anyway. Looks like L9i/a is still best for Sentry by Noctua. I also checked in with...

    My m.2 is hovering in the 40s/50s under load. However, I don't have my case yet! I'll report my temps when I get it. As to Overclocking: I prefer to do a "really stable" overclock (I just made that up) which is OCing the CPU at it's stock voltage until it crashes and backing it up and...

    YES!!! You are the bomb Justice Ranger ! That's exactly what I needed to know and it's physically my exact use-case! I'm getting F4-3000C14D-16GTZR b/c I wanted dat 14 CAS, but it's the exact same chip otherwise!

    So I got my Asrock B350 ITX board yesterday! I've been looking at measurements for clearance on the DIMM slots. I've attached a picture of measuring from the edge of the board to the end of the RAM chip, and it looks like it's 25mm of space. Can someone with a sentry tell me how far the 2.5...

    This is really helpful. Since mine was sent from Poland on 7/4, that means I should probably look for my update the week of August 22nd, or the week after. Thanks to all who updated us with your shipping information! This is great news to help set expectations for those of us who are working...
