I managed 3600-18-22-22-22-52 at 1.35V, which has not given me WHEA errors yet. I might try tightening the subtimings a bit more later on, but I am happy to stop here really if it is stable. According to wmic memphysical get memoryerrorcorrection MemoryErrorCorrection 6 ECC is enabled, plus I...

OK, back with some images. It turned out not to be that hard to fit the new riser, although you do need to remove the retention clip as well as a small part of the pcb on one side. See image captions for details: Edit: For clarity and/or searchability, this is the Linkup 5cm straight PCIe gen...

I couldn't find any confirmation that this riser works in the Sentry 2.0, but I bought one anyway to test. I'll upload some pictures later, but I can confirm that it does fit, and my PC is now working fine in gen 4 mode. However, I found that the install was very fiddly, and the length of the...

Well, I bought the INNO3D card and I can confirm that it just about fits in the Sentry. See below for pictures and comments: As for performance and temperatures, I used MSI afterburner to undervolt it a bit, and I seem to have been able to get essentially stock performance with a max power...

Yeah, that's what I was getting at. Thanks for the explanation as to why it wouldn't work, it's interesting getting some insight into the design and manufacturing side of things.

It's probably a stupid suggestion for many reasons, but somehow I imagine having a single cover piece that folds over the top and halfway down the back side would at least look cohesive as that would be a fully perforated piece. Then the part that sits behind the mobo and psu is solid. I was...

Did we ever settle on a good option for a pcie gen 4 riser replacement? Skimming through this thread, it seems like most of the discussion happened when gen 4 was new and most of the risers didn't work properly. Looking to get a Radeon 7000 series card and I assume I'll need a gen 4 riser for...

From the PDF specification found in the link you provided: So I guess it could be different dies or whatever and minor changes, but compatibility should be the same.

Just out of interest, now that we've been running our systems for a while, have you settled on having the 120mm fan as exhaust/push? I have swapped the orientation a few times now (whenever I had a reason to take my PC apart) and I definitely get better CPU cooling performance with it in...

The motherboard is mounted upside down (PCIe slot is at the top) in the sentry, so the heatpipe orientation is optimal according to the Noctua guidelines anyway.

Yeah, I think you're right. It would be hard to make it look as neat as your current solution. The examples I've come across where kind of bend/tab is used to secure panels to each other is in ovens (for the frame that hides within the cabinet) and boilers, which are also not trying to be...

Funnily enough, I completely agreed with the decision to drop SFX-L compatibility for the Sentry 2.0 as it seemed like the 600 W that was available in the SFX form factor should be enough for any ITX build. I really don't like hot and power hungry components and this new trend is quite...

Out of interest, how hard is it to fold metal twice with the bends close together in this shape: ____ \____ (basically like the Z/S detail you have on the vents) where the non parallel section is only 2 mm or so? If that is possible, perhaps you could make the tab that slots into the front...

I couldn't find anything about this point for the flow through coolers. I would be surprised though, since there have been tests that show performance is much better for these cards when there is no obstruction behind the GPU (such as the FormD T1 working better when the PSU is offset to give a...

I suspect you're going to get a lot of comments about the metal pocket behind the GPU, despite how many times you've already explained it. Honestly, I think the timing of Nvidia's cooler redesign was a bit unfortunate for you, since if you'd known (and added ventilation on both sides of the...
