Any difference with temps?
Not really scientific approach here, but roughly it looks like this:
I'm running War Thunder at 144Hz freesync @ 1440p. I've fixed the clock to 4GHz on 3700X at 1.15v and I have 60W PPT as in "45W ECO mode".
NH-L9i was running on something around 55 degrees C on stock/normal fan curve
C7G was running similarly on something around 55 degrees C on stock/normal curve, but was loud as hell
C7G was running around 57 degrees with NH-L9 fan but the noise has a better tone, but it still whines.
C7G was running around 62 degrees with NH-L9 fan at fan curve moved really far so it starts raising from 30% at 50 degrees C. Somewhat bearable whine on load, but the temps increased.
I'll think about what should I test, but after testing this much I feel like this is meaningless. NH-L9a feels hell lot better acoustic-wise.
will the sentry 2.0 ever be back to buy
We had this batch made especially because there was a window of opportunity to do make one and we'll be occupied with other projects probably for the rest of the year. We were promising people that there will be a chance to get it after campaign and we wanted to deliver on that promise.
By the way - most of the cases from the batch were shipped this morning. Under a dozen of cases to Poland and Russia were shipped on Friday because local shipments are handled by local DHL franchise which is separate company and shipments to Russia went by post and had to be handled through customs agency.
Also to clear things out, because quite a lot of those who placed the orders this time couldn't figure this out from the sale terms: we are literally never shipping orders one by one in first-in-first-out manner. We need to prepare a batch and keep track of placed orders not to make a mess of it when shipping. Also we've got better pricing on shipments if we do it this way because the courier will come to us once or twice instead of picking up few packages every day for two weeks.
Because of that we stated that we'll ship withing 10 working days, which is essentially two weeks, because we need that time to go through all paperwork internally (invoicing) and externally with DHL and customs agency for orders from Russia.
Interesting thing is that a lot of people still seemed scared about their order not being fulfilled, even when we have already delivered over 2000 units in two campaigns, and Paypal protects the buyer from being scammed.
