One suggestion for the C4-SFX v2 would be to have a couple of options for mounting 2.5" drives, e.g. at the base of the case. The A4-SFX 4.1 came with an optional attachment which could hold two drives at the bottom of the case (I tried to use it on my C4 but alas couldn't find an easy way to...

Yes I ran into exactly this problem. Some pics here: https://smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/dan-c4-sfx.12329/page-162#post-277254 I purchased a "left angle" sata cable which I'll use at some point:

Very happy with the case after a few days of use. 7900x3D with D12L & Noctua NF-A14 side exhaust. Single Arctic P14 on top intake onto Inno3D 4070 TI. My 2nd build after my Dan A4 (the cabling is a bit of a mess). Choice of Asus X670E-I was a mistake due to the daughter board (see my earlier...

Just a heads up for anyone considering an Asus X670e ITX with 2.5" drives - the SATA ports are located on a daughter board "ROG FPS-II card", and the ports are horizontally located and point towards the PSU: With a SATA cable plugged in I wasn't able to mount my SFX PSU in the default...

Removed double post (see below)

My C4 component choices so far. 7900X3D (Some prod stuff, so chose this over 7800x3D) Noctua NH-D12L CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5 64GB (2x32) Inno3D 4070 TI (From the A4) Motherboard TBC Thermaltake Toughpower SFX 750W Gen 5 (Seems to be the only 750W SFX PSU available in the UK at the moment.) P14...

My A4's big brother arrived this morning - unexpectedly a day early! It's a thing of beauty - perfectly machined. My plan is for the C4 to be a powerhouse (probably with a 7900X3D for prod and VR), and the A4 to be my portable efficiency machine and backup. No components bought yet (I'll be...

4070 TI, and under load (in my case MSFS in VR with DLSS quality) am seeing 70-80ºC. Note ambient temp is ~18ºC and I've set the fan curve to 100% over 70ºC with no undervolting.

I think so, but if there’s a better air cooled approach I’d like to know about it! Also, could anyone estimate how well a 7800X or even a 7950X would perform with a 120mm fan + black ridge? I had assumed the heat would be way too much for the A4 case, and was considering the C4, but with a...

Most welcome. The GPU almost fills the full length of the case, so I couldn't find a way to run the cables down the side of the GPU: So instead I ran the cables down the front of the case and then underneath the GPU through to the PSU: Top view: I tried a 12VHPWR cable for the GPU ( )...

For my Inno3d 4070ti I used the adapter which came with the GPU and routed the cable round the front of the case (where the vertically mounted drive is located - I moved the drive to the bottom of the case to make space for the cables). I have the Corsair SF600. Can post a pic if you like.

I was inspired, and tried installing one, too. Really performs well - running stock settings I'm getting idles 35-40C, and under load about ~70C.
