I think adding external components defeats the pupose of a case. I would prefer switching up to a slightly larger case like the A4-H2O or C4-SFX instead of having anything dangling outside of the case. I prefer the A4-SFX because i like the round radians above 90° edges, the minimalistic...

Hi again, I have some health issues and an unplanned surgery because of it. And I am still running from appointment to appointment, so I got delayed. I have all parts together. I wanted to start a build log but had issues embedding pictures, since images are not hosted on this site but need to...

I have decided to go the long way and test the limits. I ordered one of each (13700, 13700K, 13900 and 13900K) today. The remaining CPUs will go either to my kids or friends. When I have all parts (CPUs, cooler, RAM, etc.) I will start a Log thread. I thank everybody who participated in this...

@dondan Thank you for recommendation. I have lookud up possible fan cooling solutions the past 2 days and the AXP-90 looks like the best bet. Would you recommend maybe an i9-13900T? It has a bit less ferquency but the power draw is specified from 35W to 106W which should be within limits of...

I am talking about the A4-SFX v4.1. The custom loops I have seen were the Modultra LOBO or EK pumpblock combo with either 92mm or 120mm rads and custom tubing. Since these builds are not a AIO ready product, I consider them as custom loops. Best regards, CB

The above stated PSUs are my preferred choice. The SilverStone was the only SFX PSU with 80+ Titanium I could find with 750W+ While the Cosair PSU is certified ACX3.0 which would by compaible for newer GPU cards like the RTX 40 series. Personally I would like to add the most powerful RTX 40...

Thanks for ypur replies so far. When working, I run a Kuberntes (k8s) cluster on my system with 15 - 40 pods. But the amount of pods will continue growing. So in my opinion I would benefit more from more cores with lower frequencies than from fewer cores with higher frequency. For gaming this...

Hi everybody, I want to upgrade my current build but I am unsure on which cpu to use. I wanted to wait till the end of this year for the new 14th gen Intel CPUs in hope of improved thermals and an upgradable new socket. But, while working with my rig is still okay, gaming has become quite...

Hi everybody! I am a big SSF enthusiast from Germany. I have started about 2016 with a Fractal Node 202 after I was fed up pulling my old big tower (ThermalTake Armor+, 13kg empty case alone) to LAN parties or friends and later moved on to a DAN Cases A4-SFX v4.1 which is still my current case...
