Is it loud even with a noctua fan installed? I have a Cryorig CU with an adapter and a noctua.Yeah, as John Grimm already said, it can get noisy. As i'm using the system in my living room with large atmos speakers, i don't realize it too much. The cooler itself is really great, but the fan is a bit of an issue. Before i tested with a noctua L9i, but as i'm using a 9900K, the noctua was too weak to get acceptable temperatures. So if there is a good alternative (fan) or even a easy mod for the case, please let us know
Not tested that yet. Wich CPU do you use? What temperatures do oyu get with the Cryorig CU and noctua fan combination?
I haven't tested this in the Sentry but, with the Dan case (same CPU clearance as Sentry) the Noctua fan will be louder when paired with the C7 due to the distance to the side panel. But it's torelable (unlike the C7's stock fan.)
My overkill, no regrets. ?
Don't buy black Noctuas with conversion kits for Ryzens. They spray black coating over very soft screws, making it almost impossible to unscrew original brackets. I've spent few hours trying to get them removed and barely made it.

kingston valueram 2666 mhz 8gb single rank vlp sticks are nice, I have 2 of them oc'd to 3600 18-20-20-20-38 with my 3800x
I have the same one and can also recommend it. I have it fully stable running 3600@1.38 16-17-18-20-37 on my Ryzen 3600X. Maybe you can try these tighter timings also? Still want to do further fine tuning when I have the time. Voltage is minimum @1.38V but my mainboard draws about 1.42V in reality it seems.
Have you manually tuned the subtimings yet?
I havent tried with the subtimings, and tbh those timings I'm using were the first ones I tried and I just kept them
Maybe Ill fiddle with it a bit more@andy66
KVR26N19S8L/8 is the part number. 2 different versions are sold under that part number, the older one is made in china and uses hynix cjr dies, the newer one is made in taiwan with nanya dies. I am using one of each in my rig right now without any issues (not optimal I know, but I didn't find any more cjr dimms)
Hello guys!
Is possible to fit in Sentry 2.0 motherboard DTX? I mean this one: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/ROG-Crosshair-VIII-Impact/

and even if it would fit, the dimm.2 card definitely doesnt fit, so you would end up with an overpriced mainboard without m.2 connectors.
This image says: Nope.
3700x, with the cryorig and the noctua in my old case (Sugo SG05) I was getting like 40 ish degrees during normal operations gaming and all, with the l9a in the sentry I get low 50's on the regular. I have not tried the cryorig in the sentry because of the things people were saying about the fan noise. I was just trying to get a consensus before I deem whether it's worth it to try the cryorig out. I would go with blackridge if my motherboard was compatible (MSI b450i) without mods.

Ok, these temps are not bad. But your 3700x has a TDP of 65W, my 9900k is rated at 95W, but consumes a lot more. How much does your 3700x draw at load?
I have no clue what it draws, the 9900k at the 95 watt TDP setting is supposed to do really well at downscaling to accomodate high temps
Currently i have not set any Limitation reagrding the TDP in the UEFI, so i let the CPU clock itself completely. Only undervolting just a bit.
What is a recommended 120mm fan for the black ridge? Found a Noctua NF-A12x15 PWM...
What you found is the recommended fan IF you have very low profile memory which there are not that many varieties of in DDR4, but they exist.
