Dang I didn't even notice the notches, does that metal bracket thats screwed in just needs to be flipped then?Lower lip of the riser mount in your build is not inserted into the notches of the center wall. It's not assembled correctly.

It was making contact and holding the pci slot in place so o figured it was good enoughI have no idea which way did you mount it, but probably it's the opposite way. The whole point is for it to have a solid mounting to the case body
Is it possible to cool a 10700k with a black ridge and maybe a 120mm fan in the Sentry? Thinking about this setup. With intel the RAM speed isn't that important and you can get vlp ram cheap with 2933mhz.

Wouldn't really expect that to work honestly - that's a 125W TDP CPU and that 125W is probably without turbo. There's no silver bullet for that.
Also what kind of cheap VLP ram you are talking about? I'd love to test that out.
I have 2 of these, 1 with hynix cjr dies, 1 with nanya dies (the new ones are all nanya). I managed to overclock it to 3600 cl18 at 1.38V and despite them being different dies it works flawlessly. using it with a black ridge and a 120mm noctua fan on my 3800x. works perfectly fine.I mean this RAM Kingston VLP Ram I don't know about tax/fee in Poland but if it's the same in Germany than this is really cheap.
I made a mistake, I thought this is 2933Mhz Ram but it is only 2666mhz. From what you read or hear you can overclock these easily, hope these reviews don't all have golden chipsets and we get not that good ones
Did you overclock this by using XMP profile and overriding clock/voltage or there's more tweaking this? Also on which board/chipset?I have 2 of these, 1 with hynix cjr dies, 1 with nanya dies (the new ones are all nanya).

they dont come with any xmp profile, they only have jdec standard speeds. so I had to do this manually. I am using the x570 aorus board from gigabyte, because only gigabytes am4 boards fit in the sentry with the riser and the black ridge cooler. The timings I am using are 18-20-20-20-46 at 1.38VDid you overclock this by using XMP profile and overriding clock or there's more tweaking this? Also on which board?
Yep this is what I did in mine.Make a loop in front of the PSU, roughly around the PSU pass-through cable, this should shorten the part of the cable you need to route roughly in half.
