Yes it is an option. Most of them are available for their base price.I wonder if ordering a FE card directly from nvidia would be an option here.
As I wait for my case to come in I've been thinking about the airflow of the case. I'm going to be keeping mine in a vertical position, so my idea is to intake from the top and bottom and to exhaust from the sides. A few questions to people who already have the case:
Thanks in advance to anyone who responds!
- Has anyone tried flipping the fan on the Corsair SF600 so that it's exhausting out the side and not blowing hot air into the case?
- Has anyone tried attaching Noctua NF-A4x10 to the bottom or top of the case? I know Linus Tech Tips said the grid didn't line up, but wasn't sure it they changed this or will I have to 3D Print an adapter.
- Has anyone thought about 3D printing an air funnel for the Noctua NH-L9i to force the air to exhaust out of the case?
- How isolated is the motherboard area from the GPU area? Has anyone tried completely sealing off the two areas so heat from one area doesn't effect the other?
- Has anyone bought the DEMCiflex dust filters yet? How are they? I have two cats so I feel like I need them with the amount of hair and dust. If I can do everything above I would like to only have filters for the top and bottom.
As an extra here is my current plan for the build in my Sentry:
- AMD Ryzen 7 1700X
- Noctua NH-L9i with AM4 Adapter
- ASRock X370 Gaming-ITX/AC
- G.Skill Flare X Series 16GB DDR4-3200
- Samsung 850 EVO 500GB (M.2) - For OS and apps.
- Samsung 850 EVO 1TB (SATA) - For games.
- EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SC2
- Corsair SF600 SFX Power Supply
so is compressed air.It's a thing.
Ok, let's see what I can answer:
1) People have tried replacing the fan on the SF600, but not just flipping it. The reason for that is because nobody yet has had hot air exhausting from the CPU cooler. The PSU fan is right up against the side panel, so if the CPU cooler is intake, then the PSU fan is drawing in cool air no matter which way it blows.
2) I don't believe they have, but you could probably do it as long as you're okay with not having all 4 corners attached. Only problem is that it would be kinda noisy...
3) There have been funnels designed to ensure cool air as intake, but nothing with it as output. The only thing is that I would be somewhat concerned about motherboard temps; if the CPU cooler is output, there's less airflow along the motherboard.
4) The filters seem to be pretty standard. They do a semi-decent job filtering the air, but come at the cost of airflow. One thing that I'll say from experience: don't underestimate the effect of dust falling into the case from above when the fans are off. It's a thing.
that's how its supposed to work. that "hot" air it still cool enough to help cool the vrm and ram. those components need air flow.So the reason I'm thinking of exhaust with the CPU Cooler is because if you intake with the CPU Cooler the hot air then hits the ram and VRM on the motherboard. (Due to the AM4 Bracket you can only arrange the fins of the heatsink towards these things.) If I can stick two of those Noctua 40mm fans on the bottom of the case then I can pull in cool air up into the case to cool components on the motherboard, and PSU. I would probably want to create some kind of adapter to attach the 40mm fans as only having two sides attach would not only bother me, but would probably be quite noisy like you said. I'm curious how much airflow is cut from the filters as right now my Corsair 380T is fully meshed and I don't really have airflow issues. (Granted I have a 140mm fan in the front.)
Edit: Also I'm not set in stone with any of this. I haven't bought anything except for the NH-L9i as it's in my current system. I'm here to get other people's opinions on my idea/strategy with this case.

Ej24 added some 40mm fans and was happy. I'll be following suit when I upgrade to AM4.Gtx 1080 FE. I7-4790K. Thermolab LP53 cooler with noctua nf-9x14 fan. The 40mm fans are noctua nf-a4x10 flx. Dead silent. At full speed they have a noticeable hum but even that is tolerable. However I run them at a much lower speed.
that's how its supposed to work. that "hot" air it still cool enough to help cool the vrm and ram. those components need air flow.
wanna test your filter flow? run a full system stress test with and then without the filters. feel the difference and look at temps go down.
Ah.. Oh well.. I really don't feel like installing arch again... <.< Thanks for the tip, though! I may try this in the future.If you're still on Master Boot Record (MBR) you will be limited to four Primary Partitions. Change one into an Extended Partition and you can make as many Logical Partitions as you want or just migrate to GUID Partition Table (GPT). GPT will allow 128 partitions and is usualy the better option unless your dealing with legacy hardware and Windows.
sides off doesn't represent what youll actually get because air will just go everywhere instead of over the components that need it. doesn't the front just pop off like this:

I'm still tinkering with closing off different amounts of vent holes on top and bottom to create the proper pressure balance. I had too many closed off for a while and noticed my 40mm fans were starved, creating local negative pressure on the gpu side, effectively drawing cpu exhaust to the gpu side and actually making the gpu hotter. I'm still optimizing it a bit. I'm mostly happy now. I'm sure I'll get it just how I like it by the time I'm ready to upgrade the whole system haha.Ej24 added some 40mm fans and was happy.

On May 27th I got the email from the Zaber team informing that my white Sentry was shipped on April 28 along with the tracking number from the Polish post office. I haven't received any additional information regarding my shipment since then. Am I still within the expected timeframe of my Sentry arriving or is there a problem?
- Has anyone thought about 3D printing an air funnel for the Noctua NH-L9i to force the air to exhaust out of the case?
My order ID is 941, I ordered a white one.Just wondering which order number do you have? Thank you )
I think more than tunneling hot air out, its more important to pull fresh cold air into the case. A guy on reddit created ducting for his 1070 in his Node 202 and said it dropped temps from 61°C to 50°C. Image gallery.
I'm pretty happy that you do an update every week even if it's nothing special. Too many crowdfunding campaigns won't update for weeks/months because they don't have anything 'exciting' to share, which leaves backers feeling out of the loop. I'd prefer an update each week letting everyone know that everything is on track, instead of radio silence until something goes wrong. Also, seeing those stacks of cases never gets old. Keep up the good work!Another "packaging week". We know these updates are becoming boring (assembled, packaged, sent, assembled, packaged, sent...)

My first batch, first shipment (black) Sentry still has not arrived, and there has been no change to tracking since May 10th. I'm getting concerned/annoyed. We were told 4 weeks, then when that didn't work out, they said it could be as many as 6, which we've just passed. Now 5-7 is the new normal? I won't be able to receive packages at my listed address for much longer. I couldn't have imagined I would need to wait for two months after shipment to get the order.

Ok so I am trying to make a decision before I impulse buy. I can't decide intel or AMD. I am either going 7700non k or 1600 non x. I can't make my mind up though. Through research it seems like a 1080ti/1600 is almost neck and neck with 1080/7700. I know there is a little bit of difference. But I am looking for pretty much only gaming. With that said the intel is a little cheaper due to the 1080ti premium. But the z270 chipset has no more future to it. This will be it. And the 1080 will Bernice for a while longer but the 1080ti will outlast it. My figures show only about a $200 difference between the 2. Am4 is supposed to last and support future cpus and the 1080ti should last significantly longer than the 1080. We all know thermals are an issue and that adds to the factor too. I guess I'm asking for input. And yes I have not seen vega and what it has to offer but from what info has been rumored it's probably going to run hot. Not sure if it will run hotter than a 1080ti. Please no fanboy intel or amd. Just looking for straight up logical input here.
It looks like if you're looking into future proofing your system as close as possible ryzen/1080ti is the way to go imho.
I think for just gaming you would have a better experience with a thermal throttled gtx 1080ti than a 1080...Ok so I am trying to make a decision before I impulse buy. I can't decide intel or AMD.

That's what I have been leaning towards. I just don't want to regret it. I have asked a couple of times on this thread for some thermal benchmarks on 1080ti but nobody has really responded. I think it's possible with evga. Vertical position with the CPU compartment closed off somehow so the air doesn't cycle down. Maybe a couple 40m fans at the top of the case. I have brainstormed about this case for a year. I have had ideas of slipping fans in here and there and fabricating the case a little here and there for airflow. The deepcool mf120 open fans looked like a good idea to have on the outside of the case pushing extra air in.
