I wish it showed the hours left for the campaign. We need a proper countdown.
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.

The Reeven BRONTES(RC-100b) is 47mm tall without a fan. Is this going to be pushing against the top of the case or is there true clearance for something Iike this running passively?
We've got ~48mm but that ~ we have +- something like 0.12mm possible error and thus we cannot state that we support 48mm coolers. We also want that ~1mm of clearance so the cover doesn't touch the fan.
It should fit but do not do this. There is no real passive cooling in standard PC cases, if you have a "passively cooled card" then you need induced airflow by the fans of the case. It may only work okay if you plan on making HTPC with some ultra low TDP CPU.
I'm not sure if you read Edz post #2307 but I think it would very helpful for the community if you can test the lp53 with the 14mm noctua fan you already own inside the case. I'm sure I speak for a lot of Sentry owners in the community when I say that the lp53 will probably be in high demand for the Sentry case.
Also if you don't mind a little extra. If you have a 120mm fan lying around can you give us some insight into whether a 120mmX15mm slim fan will fit into the case on top of a 28mm heatsink (the lp53) with a regular motherboard? (Specially whether it will interfere with the SSD on top of the motherboard or the typical 34mm tall ram)
How are you planning to mount the fan?
I'm going to use the copper wire (the same you would use for ornaments and necklaces). Amazon has them for like 5$ and it matches the color of the heatsink. Also it is more solid than rubber bands or zip ties which will decay overtime with the heat.How are you planning to mount the fan?
Rubber bands, zip ties, string. Anything will do. It's a pc fan, not a jet engine. It probably weighs 50g. Mounting a different fan to the LP53 is tricky in that it doesn't have normal fan mounting holes or a groove for clips. However, my 92x14mm fan has been mounted for 1-2 weeks just fine with rubber bands. I may go with something a little more permanent/hardy once it's in Sentry but for now it's fine. So mounting a different fan isn't difficult, you just have to be creative.
ebay for the USA. It's not cheap at all, its around 58$ on ebay.Where can you even buy the LP53? I found one on amazon for like $85, but I don't really think it's worth it at that price.
Not to mention you have to wait for it to arrive from Korea. It's a true test of how badly you want that extra cooling performance.ebay for the USA. It's not cheap at all, its around 58$ on ebay.

So.. I just built my pre-sentry PC atwo days ago and.. I struck with the Intel cooler to start with and with a i5-7600 It's really.. Not bad at all. I'm using the Air 240 as a temp case(it's my brothers for his future build).
The Intel cooler gets loud.. But currently with 60F-70F ambient the CPU doesn't get above 30C-40C on idle and 40C-60C while my brother was playing Civ VI(this is running without a GPU card. We have pretty low standards tbh, hah)
SO my question is, is another cooler worth it? I know the C7 would be quieter, which I wouldn't mind, but obviously there is a lot of controversy surrounding that little guy.
Heat isn't my issue, it's sound. I don't expect the 65w tdp to throttle at 95C, but I expect this little intel cooler to get loud in the summer.
Ditto; I will pretty much attempt just about anything for maximizing silence and lower temps without giving up performance. I delidded my 6700k a few days after getting it and I dropped 8c at load. I was sweating bullets the first time powering on though. Delidding is absolutely worth it if you have the guts to risk ruining your CPU.It will definitely get you 5C better than the noctua on an unlocked cpu. I'm tempted to delid my 4790k and use liquid metal. Temps should plummet another 10-15c. They're not bad now with the LP53, I'm just obsessed with having the lowest temps possible in the smallest form factor possible.
Quick question will 42mm memory fit? Or will it be blocked by the ssd bay? Is there any way we can make it fit without having to remove the SSD or change anything else?only few hours left....
only few hours left....
Is it possible to do something like this in order to fit higher size memory:
Yes, but that is irrelevant given that is an SSD. SSD do not need stability. My concern is wether if this is possible (if it will fit like this) and if I do this will 42mm memory fit.I would imagine you lose stability? I recall the 2.5" brackets being screwed in somewhere between the GPU and mobo.
Is it possible to do something like this in order to fit higher size memory:
I was wondering what you guys thought of the CPU cooler. ID-cooling vs 40 it's only 45mm in height which is ~3mm from the case top. I believe Saper stated that the cryorig was a bad cooler for the sentry not only because of the mounting mechanism with back plate but do to the ~1mm from the top of case was indeed very loud. I'm wondering would the 3mm from the top make that big of a difference in noise? And the possibility with this cooler perhaps being better than the noctua l9i in its performance.
I've seen mention of that cooler as well and am curious, myself.
I hope that what's left of the process goes smoothly and people can get their case on the estimated times. Good luck in the rest of the process and thanks for making this case possible.
Finally! I will be able to get some proper sleep now
I've actually been waking up the chain of supply for components starting last week since we already had some rough numbers on the volume. So far it's going as planned.
It's been mentioned a lot. It's a bad cooler, on par or worse than the Intel stock cooler. Links below:

Just a reminder: we'll be using twitter as medium for smaller updates after the campaign.
I'm looking for various options if you don't have any review you can point to online to defend your position saying it's terrible or otherwise it doesn't help me so please don't bother to respond.Why do you bother so much with untested coolers? Just stick with what works and change when something finally is proven to be better.
It boggles my mind that every time a random company shows a new mITX design you keep your hopes up then get squashed because it is terrible.
Stick with what is proven to work.
Congrats.
You deserve it.
PS: my forecast was right
There is already different reviews that specifically test the Noctua vs the ID-COOLING 45. Here is one in russian.I'm looking for various options if you don't have any review you can point to online to defend your position saying it's terrible or otherwise it doesn't help me so please don't bother to respond.

EXAMPLE
Summary translated for you: "To sum up, that the effectiveness of Noctua NH-L9x65 won a landslide victory over the ID-COOLING IS-40, and turn to the noise level."
OH ya, that thing is huge. . LArger that the C7, even!.. Maybe.That's the taller version of the Noctua NH-L9i. It wouldn't fit in the Sentry even without a fan.
