    Production SENTRY 2.0: Evolution of console-sized gaming PC case

    Upgraded the Sentry Build I had from 2 years ago - saving some of the parts for my brother, who wants to build his first Gaming PC. 5600x (B0 Stepping) -> 5700x (B2 Stepping) 16GB HyperX Fury DDR4-3200 CL16 -> 32 GB T-Group Expert DDR4-3200 CL14 New SK Hynix P31 2TB NVME SSD - went with this one...

    Concept SENTRY 3.0: Development and Suggestions

    I think the AMD Stock 6700XT and 6800 fit, but not the 6800XT and 6900XT. I think actually none of the AIB 6700XT cards and above fit in the 2.0 case. The Nvidia stock cards I believe fit, with the exception of the 3090. EVGA's XC series as you point out also fit, and I think some of the Eagle...

    Prototype Slim console-style case from Velkase. Looking for tester and reader feedback.

    I would be interested as well. Love this form factor! I've had a Sentry 2.0 build for over a year (5600x with a 2070 Super Founders Edition) which has worked great, and would love to have a chance to test this prototype case!

    Discussion Ryzen 5600X with ASUS B550-i undervolting problems

    An offset of -30 on all cores with 10X and 200+ MHz override enabled? That is pretty much impossible for any Ryzen 5000 series CPU. I have a Gigabyte B550i Aorux Pro AX board with a 5600x, and these are my settings: PBO - Advanced PBO Limits - Disabled PBO Scalar - 0x Curve Optimizer - 2...

    Storage Building a new budget rig, need help with SSD

    Another option I would look at is the SK Hynix P31 Gold 1 TB NVME SSD: LINK That is one of the best value options right now, and performance is comparable to the SN750.

    Prototype Warden | 9L Sentry inspired Case That Fits Larger Graphics Cards

    Nah, judging by the concept drawings, there are several differences.

    Concept SENTRY 3.0: Development and Suggestions

    The NVIDIA FE 2XXX, and 3060ti, 3070, and 3080 FE's all fit in the sentry. The EVGA mid range 3060 and 3060ti cards, as well as their 3070 and 3080 XC3 cards also fit in the sentry. Some Gigabyte 3060, 3070, and 3080 cards fit. I am truly not sure what your point is here. There are plenty of...

    Concept SENTRY 3.0: Development and Suggestions

    The Sentry currently is a 7.0 L case. Essentially, you're basically asking for a larger case to fit most graphics cards. There were quite a few 1080ti cards, and 2070/2080ti cards that didn't fit in the Sentry 2.0 too.

    Concept SENTRY 3.0: Development and Suggestions

    The RTX 3080 stock FE pulls almost 325 W on Furmark Stress Test. In gaming, it still pulls around ~310 W based on GamersNexus' testing (again at stock...). These new RTX 3XXX cards are more efficient with the architecture, but they ARE pulling more power.

    Log Teebs' 5L Stream PC & Peripherals in a Carry on

    One minor correction here, the 5600x has a 76W PPT. The Ryzen 5 3600 has an 88W PPT.

    Concept SENTRY 3.0: Development and Suggestions

    Well it sounds like they are just in the conceptual stage right now, which is very preliminary. When they are ready to provide more information, they'll provide more information.

    Nah the S402 has a lot of differences from the Sentry.

    Discussion Ryzen 5 3000 Manual Overclocking

    If you're manually OC'ing, the chip will not monitor temperatures. I'm not sure how else to answer this. Its going to run at whatever frequency and voltage you set for it. I will say even though AMD says that even running at 95 is considered "normal", I would not run a Ryzen CPU every day...

    Discussion Ryzen 5 3000 Manual Overclocking

    With that small cooler in a small case, then yes, you are going to hit 90+ degrees with a Ryzen 5 3600 when OCing, even at 1.2V. Ryzen 3000 will run hot in an ITX-case where you are limited in the types of coolers you can use, even at stock.

    Discussion Ryzen 5 3000 Manual Overclocking

    Running a manual OC with even a 65 W Ryzen 3000 part at a 1.2V Vcore in a small-ITX environment will shoot up your thermals in P95 to the 90-100 degree range instantly. Your CPU PPT looks like it shot up to 103+ Watts. A stock Ryzen 5 3600 has a max PPT of 88 W at full load, and thats the impact...
