Just finished my build guide for the Dan A4 SFX v3. Ran into several issues with my first SFF build and appreciate the help I got from the community. Documented my build in detail. Goal of this system was to make a silent Dan A4 case. This one is inaudible at idle and when doing basic...

Dang. Ran prime95 Small FFTs for 30 minutes. Cpu temp maxed at 70 degees celcius. No thermal throttling but there was a yes to power limit throttling in the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility. I have a Asrock z390i motherboard, cpu i5 8400. Any ideas how to fix this? Next day: turns out the...

Thats my son’s old asus strix 1060 - perfectly fine for 1080p monitors. Didn’t have to take the case apart to get it in (just squeeked in by a hair). At idle the fans don’t spin so it keeps the case super quiet. The 3 fans also probably help improve air exchange in the case. Will report...

Sorry this is a better angle to see the cabling. I was building this case for work (limited space) and wanted it quiet as possible - hence the i5 8400. This setup is as close as possible to zero DB. I can’t even hear it - quietest build i have ever done. I was amazed after reading all the...

Sorry. This is a better angle.

Good timing for your that question fabio. I just finished my build and my objective was to maximize air volume within the case. Did that by using stock ribbon cables, LPX ram, modding the daisy chain of sata power connectors (for front mounted ssd), removed the m.2 heatsink which I was not...

Ahhhhhhh! I finally finished hours of cable management/ frustration and then discovered a i/o clip was blocking one of the display ports -had to take the entire system apart again. My fingers are bruised and sore. What a pain in the rear.

Another puzzle: My strix 1060 is too wide to clear the location of the riser to seat it. Do you unscrew the riser, plug in the graphics card, secure the card in the case and then rescrew in the riser?

Thanks for the help everyone. The manual was a bit misleading. I’m not used to taking things apart to fit things in a case - my kids could hide inside my previous builds.

How in the world do v3 owners get the power cable to work with a corsair powersupply? The plug is in the wrong orientation - and i can’t approach from the other direction because the plug won’t fit through the gap. Any suggestions?

Does the dan case v3 come with a sata data cable as shown in the manual?

Thanks for everyones feedback on fans at the bottom of the case. I have all the parts laid out but have not started building yet. I have the v3 case. Going aircooled with noctua L9i - but I am only going to run a i5 8400. Might delid it too. Hopefully it will be possible to have a quiet dan...

Know when that might be? Hopefully available in North America?

I have the same board blno. Also have a A9x14 that i was goiing to try to fit under the board. Was going to start my build this weekend. I read posts that you need to unscrew the riser to get the fan in. What I would like to know is if the fan in this position creates a lot of...

Last I looked ocuk had “unavailable” for the blackridge. Was it discontinued?
