Indiegogo seems to be taking their sweet time processing payments, huh? [USER=4401]@SaperPL[/USER] [USER=357]@ZombiPL[/USER] Do you guys have any updates for us?


Also, after more testing with Black Ridge, I was able to dial in an overclock I’m happy with on my 9600k at 4.6ghz on all cores at 1.175v with LLC2.  I limited the long duration power limit to 95w, and short term power limit to 135w, and it JUST reaches 80 C at the end of a 15 min stress test in RealBench.  During a 2+ hour full gaming load (Monster Hunter World with high res texture pack at 1440p) it hovered between 62-69 C, and was barely audible. 


I’m currently in a Louqe Ghost S1, and use a Prolimatech Ultra Sleek Vortex 14 fan as intake on my BR.  These results are with the base Ghost (no top hats), and a Chromax NF-F12 fan in the bottom as exhaust.  I’m working on a case feet design I like to get it off of the desk a little more, and expect around 5-8 C improvement in temps.  After firsthand experience with the Ghost, I can confirm as others have that Louqe's internal testing of case feet height is garbage... A few extra millimeters makes a big difference.


All of this said, I feel like the Sentry will have better airflow in the CPU chamber than a non-top-hat Ghost does, which should help make up a little ground for only being able to use a 92mm fan with BR vs the 140mm fan I’m currently using.  If your mobo allows for the 120mm slim fan with VLP RAM, then I think you'll be in great shape with this cooler in the Sentry with a wide variety of CPUs.
