hi vega 64 owner here, been running it happily in the sentry without any issues on the cases behalf, 30 degrees idle with peaks around 70-80 ish. if you do go with a vega 64, i highly recommend going for a sfx-l, as the extra headroom could allow for some overclocking

WOW! So maybe TDP isn't too much to worry about I guess? Have you tracked your temps? LTT made a video on this subject and yeah it seems that case confines don't matter so much as just having a constant airflow.
Also, too late for the PSU as I already bought the Silverstone SFX 600w, so I will probably go with the 1080 then.
However that's encouraging, so thank you!
70-80ish on gaming or stress test? Maximum fan speed?
It's not bad for someone who wants maximum performance in the smallest size possible, but I really don't want to reach/surpass 80°C with my gpu for gaming only, I don't want a furnace.
That's the reason why sff cases have bad reputation
It depends.
If they reach that temperatures for gaming only, it's not really the best IMHO.

fan speed is on the default curve, i haven't really noticed it but its certainly audible when all the way up without headphones70-80ish on gaming or stress test? Maximum fan speed?

it wouldn't be a very good one, not many points of contact as the mb is raised. A passive heatsink would require fins to better dissipate the heat, something the sentry doesn't have. Steel doesn't make for a great conductor of heat either so thats also something to consider
you are going z370? might not be the greatest idea given the heat that comes off the cpus on that chipset. sfx psus are easier to install but if you plan on running a vega 64, sfx-l is a must. currently, the best heatsink on the market is an lp53 with a noctua fan stuck to it
the heatsink is solid copper while the nh-l9i is aluminum hence the lp53 conducts and dissipates heat a little better. the 8700 will be better but don't expect to be able to do much in the way of heavy workloads without throttling.

It's a little bit late for another campaign in this year (we have like 5 weeks to the 2018), but maybe there will be "something". And "maybe" is a key-word here. Some people still didn't get their packages from the campaign, because they forgot about them and simply didn't pick them from the Post, they weren't at home during delivery attempts or transport companies made some errors in delivery, so we still have a lot of work with solving everything out. If we will get a little bit of time (and our subcontractors will also have time for us... it's end of the year...) then we will think about this "maybe".
I got the lp53 and the noctua fan, still need the motherboard and GPU.
Im debating between AsRock and MSI z370 boards. Ideally I want a MB that allows me to mount the cooler in the best position, while not blowing hot air over ram.
Leaning towards ASRock, not sure if I need the gaming board.
Anyone figure out a better way to mount the noctua fan on the lp53? I heard about using rubber bands...

Where is everyone buying their LP53 coolers? Is it safe to purchase the LP53 from NHeStore on Amazon US, or should it be purchased from koreatrade on ebay?

Order from which ever is cheaper. As a buyer on amazon or eBay you are protected. If it ain’t right or doesn’t show they will cover you.
Thank you NuclearLemons and loader963 for your replies. All I need now is a lot of patience for a new campaign, or a lot of luck with a black case from a previous backer.
