Yeah it doesn't really need an update when only blower style cards will fit. Trust me, I own the 1080ti FE and its pretty good. You will not be disappointed.The card doesn't get very hot inside the case (also an ITX case) but in the outside its a freaking heater. I feel like removing the DVI for more airflow space was a great improvement for itx cases like Sentry.need an update for on the GPU compatibility, for 1080ti custom cards...

That will not happen. Only blower style FE units if at all. We're not going to clear open-air 250W+ cards for Sentry in recommended cards list. You can check dimensions for fitting, but you're on your own in area of thermals.
Have you or anyone from this group tried fitting a 250w open air card on the sentry case?
Open Air cards might work 'kind of' like on an open bench when mounted in vertical stand. 'Kind of' because the vents are still reducing the airflow a bit. Those cards are made for the cases with multiple fans pushing the air in and out of the case.
YetAnotherTechChannel did a proper review with multiple types of cards in both configs so you might want to extrapolate this up to 250W
Just wondering.. I saw the new EVGA 1080TI FTW3 and it looks sexy AF... will that card fit our SENTRYs? if not, how abt the new SC2?
I report.
Over the past few years, I have changed 970-980-1070-1080, all were red MSI GAMING X, so ordering this time FE (also from msi), the imagination painted the saddest pictures, and in memory are still fresh memories The FE roared.

Received today this card - the first impression, after unpacking: wow! Very beautiful, very heavy, and unusually compact.
Install, turn on the computer turns, but the silence is uttermost (from the word at all), even by the standards of my tenderest ears (of the coolers - only 92mm noctua at the 7700K). I launch Battlefield 1 in 4K. Picture - juicy, fps - iron 60 (vsinc +), noise - exactly the same as my last MSI Gaming X 1080. I was shocked, to be honest, now I do not see the point in non-reefs (even in such beautiful as in msi ) In general, well, except that the temperature is lower (I kept 83-84 for an hour while I was playing).
Therefore, if someone buys someone from buying refa only noise - away from doubt, everything is just fine.
Frequency all the way around 1700-1800+ in default mode, without OC. Complete silence, the cooler turns to 46-48%.
Whenever you guys at DR ZĄBER are ready it would be nice if you created another scheme like this one with the actual dates(or just update this one):

Hi guys not sure if this has been covered but what are the results from the CPU temps with the following config for this sentry case, are they fine or too hot
1. i7 7700K ( non OC)
2. 1080TI founders
3. on a C7/Noctua l9i
There are no such results because we haven't tested this specific configuration and we will not do this. We already know the limits of our chassis and we recommend going with 65W TDP CPU like i7-7700 or Ryzen 7 1700 and 150W GPU like GTX1070 or RX480. Going above those recommendations with TDP means your PC will be hotter and louder and you're on your own with figuring out how to tweak your system for optimal performance.
Cryorig C7 is not recommended as it is not really a cooler built for 48mm clearance and it requires additional space above for optimal performance.
Noctua NH-L9i is not targeting 95W TDP CPUs unless the system has greatly induced airflow around it and Sentry simply doesn't do that. We've got good experience with copper core intel cooler so far and we believe it might be worth trying with unlocked-K SKUs.
It's not magic here - going smaller means less space for airflow and the components still have to dissipate heat. We were clear for a long time that this is not a chassis for extreme ultra-high-end build, but for reasonable one that can be consequentially upgraded in the future and is still a console-killer even if it doesn't burn acres of rain forest worth electricity. And we don't want to fool you by telling you that it'll fit anything.
Also be reasonable with your component shopping. Life shows that nvidia within a year from Titan X Pascal launched significantly cheaper 1080TI that is cheaper and slightly faster and now is re-launching Titan as Titan Xp making the initial Titan X Pascal worth even less now. Unless you really know how to tackle and use the power of any of those cards inside Sentry, we recommend saving money and going mainstream 1070/1080 and upgrading in the future to next generation 150W unit if performance boost is satisfying.
That is too bad, as most people when considering a new rig will always opt out for the highest end components. Now im doubting the whole purchase of the case in the first place. Already got the processor, why would i opt out for lower performing one and a lower performing card. Not happening.
Yes he showed that it works fine.LinusTechTips already showed what a 250W TDP GPU does in the Sentry Case.
you obviously didn't do your home work then. that has been the case with this case since the beginning. if you want the most powerful gaming system get an appropriate case. supper small sff cases are NOT built for the highest end parts, there HAS to be a compromise between power, size and heat.That is too bad, as most people when considering a new rig will always opt out for the highest end components.

You think no GPU-Boost becorse of high temperatures is "fine" ???
Can we also add the delidding of the CPU to that listthermolab LP53
He was using a 140w cpu and yes they were fine. In fact much better performance than you will get with a 1080, so getting a 1080ti on the case will be an improvement over the case with a 1080. Also he was using Noctua's cooler. I am expecting to eventually buy a much better cooler. In fact the LP53 has much better results than the noctua. not only that but as mentioned by other people here he was running synthetic tests on both CPU and GPU in a real extreme gaming application it would never have both at full load for 4 hours straight. Also like sonicd00012 said Linus doesn't even delid.You think no GPU-Boost becorse of high temperatures is "fine" ???
So technically if your doing just gaming, on an i7 7700k non OC /1080ti (c7 should be okay, especially with delid) we shoulldn't really worryHe was using a 140w cpu and yes they were fine.

No! Cryorig C7 will not be okay at all. It will perform badly. SaperPL has said it before. Your best bet is the NH-L9i or the LP53 (which has not been tested yet). However, hopefully the absolute best will be Dondan's cooler. Also if you don't care about high temps and noise then I do not think you should worry at all. But if you are planning on having something quiet and nice temperatures I highly doubt Sentry is the case for a 1080ti build. I personally don't care. Given that the case is so small it can be placed behind my monitors at a decent distance from me so noise will not reach me.So technically if your doing just gaming, on an i7 7700k non OC /1080ti (c7 should be okay, especially with delid) we shoulldn't really worry
how aboot you build it and find out then let us know what happens. just don't be pissed if it doesn't work how you want, you were advised against it.So technically if your doing just gaming, on an i7 7700k non OC /1080ti (c7 should be okay, especially with delid) we shoulldn't really worry

Today I had to prepare to go to a technology fair where I am presenting some of the work I have done with my team. It was painful, Sentry was in my mind throughout the entire process. Loading the huge work computer case with monitor and the HTC vive into the car took pretty much the entire trunk. I asked my friend to take the other stuff for me.
