35 Note on Cooling Performance
Like most small form factor cases, Sentry 2.0 has physical limitations
affecting thermal performance of cooling components installed inside.
The main difference from standard tower cases in this matter is lack
of case fans, that would induce airflow exchanging the air heated up
by working computer components for fresh cold air from the outside.
Because of that, the airflow is induced only by fans of the cooling
solutions attached to installed computer components (CPU & GPU).
It is recommended to take note of this limitation as high-end computer components rely greatly on hot
air being constantly exhausted from the chassis by case fans, and their cooling solutions are not
designed with small form factor cases such as Sentry 2.0 in mind.
Installing expensive high-end components like 125W+ TDP CPU or 250W+ TDP GPU might end up
bringing diminishing returns on the investment, if their thermal performance is limited by the chassis.
