A community to discuss small form factor PCs.
Rules:
Took a while to get right, but I'm really happy with it. Only thing missing in this pic is a fan array like the one seen in this HWCanucks video. Handles everything I've thrown at it thus far and runs pretty quiet to boot.
Specs: 3080ti, 5900x, 32GB RAM, ASRock X570 TB3, Sentry 2.0 Case
Wow this looks real good! How's the cooling?
It was pretty rough at first, but once I did the fan bracket mod with 4 mini Noctua fans, it got waaaay better (and quieter!). GPU and CPU tend to max out around 82 when under the heaviest loads.
that cabling 😋
Haha thank you, I was so proud when I finally managed to cram it all in there.
Sentries come in grey now!? I still have the gen 1 in black. The grey looks really good!
Yup! The colorway is Navy Grey. I was super tempted to wait till they eventually released a version 3.0, but I got too antsy, lol
It's gorgeous. And I know it doesn't really matter much when the case is sealed up, but the black hardware with red cabling really ties it all together.
Where did you get those cables from? What kind are they?
They're the "Choose Your Length Unsleeved Cables" from pslate customs. Been super happy with em so far.
Heeeey a fellow Dr Zaber enjoyer! I commend you on your excellent taste. How have you found it so far?
Haha, thanks dude! I love it - I use it as my primary workstation for my job in game dev as well and it crushes every task I've thrown at it so far. On top of that, it's super easy to pack it away in a backpack, so I'm able to bring my work whenever and wherever I want to. Only thing was that the cooling was a bit rough and it made a lot of an noise (even with all Noctua fans), but after installing that 3D printed fan bracket those two problems pretty much disappeared.
