Has anyone built with the x370 asrock board. It just came in today and I had ordered the nhl9i and it doesn't look like it's going to fit.
1.Temps are same but the fan speed drops about 300 RPM, the temp of IO side is 25% more heat than the RAM side, so I think the best way is let the U-shaped heat pipe opening direction same with RAM side.
2.No, the colorful 1080TI CH has the vapor chamber cooler, same with Founders Edition. I consider FE perform better than Open Air in this small case.
3.https://hardforum.com/threads/lp-sff-cooler-mounting-adaptors-for-am4.1929996/
4.Yes, my case is set up vertically.
I don't plan to overclock, however the guy who did my delid sent before/after stats of my CPU.
He did a slight overclock to 4.5Ghz on a test bench using the ASROCK Z170OCF motherboard.

I say the 250D because to me it seems like a viable option for a home server case, if he will need one. Or a watercooled ITX case if he'll ever be into that. It's a good case and a step up from the Sentry if he ever wanted to go a little larger.
Looks like with Ryzen it still does matter - I've got G.Skill RipJaws and they work on 2133MHz but their 3200MHz with XMP won't boot...
I'm taking a gamble with some Samsung B-die sticks at 3733 MHz CL18 not on the QVL for my incoming ASRock ab350. Shooting for 3200 MHz with tighter timings.
Questions:
1. Does it matter if you go by the manufacturer supported RAM list? (I know you look for Ryzen supported memory, Samsung B-Die etc. etc. so I could pick up some Vengeance LPX or otherwise, but it's not on this list) Many people online suggest sticking to the supported RAM list.
So, I have an issue I'd like some feedback on. Here's the story:
1. I went with Asrock B350 ITX for my Sentry (loved GB's board, but Asrock ended up winning for me)
2. I'm looking to get all my parts in the next couple of weeks to test build/make sure no DOA (on the motherboard box, I don't have my Sentry yet).
3. I'm trying to find some compatible 16GB RAM 3000mhz(2933 etc.) or higher (B350 supported RAM link) (of note the x370 list is almost identical save a few extreme exceptions in the 32GB realm)
Problem: I'm having trouble finding RAM that's stated supported that has headroom for the drive bays. I'd probably be just fine picking up some TridentZ (RGB or otherwise) sticks, but they don't seem to allow clearance for the 2.5" drives, nor does anything else on this list that I can see.

2. Is there a way to get 2.5 drives in the sentry and still have clearance for RAM (maybe not using the support bracket? It all seems to depend on where your DIMM slots are located and I know removing the bracket will minimize support for the 2.5 slot. I'm also not decided on GPU yet, so I don't want to bank on the extra space there.
As always, thanks for the help!
It'll be interesting. I have an 960 Evo M.2 drive as well as two 1TB class 2.5" SSDs.
I managed to fit one 2.5" drive in without the bracket and the drive does not touch the RAM. I need to get custom cables before I put in the second drive. So far so good, but I still have the case horizontal.QUAKE006 , how did the build go with those 2.5's and the FlareX? If you found a way for it all to fit, then that would answer a host of questions concerning clearance. Thanks!

What sticks did you get? SKU if you have it. Thanks RosaJ
I found a list of all Ryzen compatible ram and the max speed currently achievable with each sku. I can't seem to find it though. It may have been Tom's Hardware? I'll post the link if I find it.
I went with the ASRock X370 ITX. I chose this RAM (G.SKILL 16GB (2 x 8GB) TridentZ Series DDR4 PC4-25600 3200MHz for Intel Z170 Platform Desktop Memory F4-3200C16D-16GTZ). I didn't remember to check the QVL list for compatibility. It ended up not being on the list, but worked out anyway. I set the XMP profile for the RAM and it hit 3200MHz like a champ. I opted for a 1TB 960 EVO instead of 2.5" SSD's so I don't have to worry about the clearance. They don't seem that tall. I can check placing the bracket down if you'd like. Let me know.
Awesome link RosaJ ! This is great!Purchased these bad boys https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820313618 in relation to this list:

The "i" in nh-l9i stands for Intel. You need the am4 adapter kit. It should be free from Noctua if you provide a receipt of purchase for a ryzen cpu and a noctua cooler.
Unless noctua now includes the am4 mounting hardware with every cooler...
I have the Noctua NHL9a on my Gigabyte mini ITX AM4 Motherboard.Yes it's not the bracket that's the problem. I don't have the bracket yet but just setting it on the board without the intel bracket on. it hits on the vram. It's too wide for the asrock x370. At least it looked that way. The stock amd cooler has a little notch in the bottom of the heat sink and then it flares out a little. They designed the vram to fit with that notch perfectly. So the nhl9i is too wide for the board. Looking at the nhl9a. It's the same with just a little longer on the other side. So noctua might not be working for x370.
Hey guys, I'd like to put a gtx 1080 in my watchman, what models are there? The list of compatible video cards is up to 1080, although the size should be the same

East Coaster here. From the first white sentry shipment. USPS just received my package at their NJ Distro Hub today per tracking details. You could try posting your tracking number from Sentry into USPS and see what they got. Regards.How long does it actually take to ship the product? The last I heard about it was on June 12th "Item arrived 2017-06-12 10:19 WER Pruszcz Gd." I live in the United States on the east coast. Is there an ETA for these kinds of packages?
Gallium melts at 29C. It just always worries me it will flow or drip. But obviously nobody would risk it if it were a very common problem. Does it ever "dry out"? I've heard some people complain it has to be reapplied almost once per year. Or is that dependent on thermal cycles? I may give it a try on a pentium G3258 I have lying around. Maybe someday I'll work up the courage to do it to my 4790k in my Sentry.
Ok not so funny story. I had time tonight to mess around with the l9i tonight and it fits the x370 asrock board perfectly. With the right mounting kit obviously. But there is a small cut out on one side that fits right over the vram. I think when I was rushing and opening up everything the other night I didn't look at it close enough. So anyone with the x370 asrock board l9i fits like a glove.
Sorry for my english, i would buy a GTX 1080 ti , founder edition Is ok?
They are perpendicular. There is no way to rotate it 90 degrees. Plus with knowing that there will be a clearance issue. A custom bracket will work with the asrock x370 boardThat makes sense. One side of the fin stack doesn't go down as low. Is that what you're referring to? Are the fins parallel or perpendicular to the ram? Parallel is best.
I looked at AMD's own ram compatible list. Rams at 3200 seems to be at 14 cas timing. So I think you might get any ram to work at the frequency if it is rated at 14 cas.So, I have an issue I'd like some feedback on. Here's the story:
1. I went with Asrock B350 ITX for my Sentry (loved GB's board, but Asrock ended up winning for me)

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 with future shipments!Also just got updated USPS tracking. 1st batch of white Sentry. Last message was May 29 showing "Processed at PRUSZCZ GDANSKI WER, POLAND". Region is US Midwest.
So all in all 7 weeks of zero updates coming across the Atlantic if that helps anyone else ballpark.
