    Dan A4 CPU Upgrade Option

    The duct definitely hekps - it lowers temps by 4-8C!. (Or enbales higher power draw while maintaining temp)

    Dan A4 CPU Upgrade Option

    A 7800X3D is manageable with a L9a and surely the top of the line option - you do not seem to know alot about undervolting and stuff - you should really have a look. Duct on top of the cooler is there?

    Prototype The ultraflow - An affordable open testbench

    I've read you transitioned from Kensington to Kensington nano - my idea was to offer both options. An additional hole does not cost a significant amount of time and money and it is easy to just offer both holes. If only one is possible for whatever reason the majority will still prefer the...

    DAN A4-SFX v4.1

    For me it gets alot louder above 1400rpm for the gpu fans - 1400 is still enough for my RX6800. Try to figure out where your threshold is and if that rpm is still enough for the card and profit.

    Prototype The ultraflow - An affordable open testbench

    Just love it. Please add also a Kensington nano slot - does not cost anything but many just have the smaller nano locks nowadays.

    DAN A4-SFX v4.1

    For Gaming and single clock? Sure? You won't notiv´ce any difference in single core speed between all of these, so just pick the cheapest one if that is your only criteria. All Core loads? Nope.

    DAN A4-SFX v4.1

    You can always undervolt and lower the power target a bit. With my RX6800 there is a significant jump in loudness with the 1450rpm mark - so i created a fancurve that just ends below that at below 85C - i barely touch 79C during Cyberpunk - so i am safe and can game in peace now. With -15% power...

    Advice I want to upgrade but keep my beloved A4-SFX v4.1

    Idletemps sadly mean nothing - You have to look at the temps under your typical workload. These CPUs need lowered tdps in any case with these coolers - they are just not a good choice for such a small air cooled system.

    SFF.Network MSI Announces New “SLIM” Series of GPUs That Are Still Quite Large for SFF

    I absolutley see no point in these products. Slim would be 2slot max for a 4070TI (Like Inno3D offers) or 7800XT/7900GRE. Sad.

    DAN A4-SFX v4.1

    @nightshift And who says the RX6800 with a mere 215W is too hot in this case? It is just the perfect card - very efficient and can easily be 15% underpowered without sacrificing more than 5% performance. The 3080 times with 10GB VRAM are just over. It is fine as long as you have one anyway but...

    DAN A4-SFX v4.1

    No better one than the RX6800 yet. 7700XT is slower and has only 12GB VRAM - 7800XT is slightly faster but i doubt we will see a 2 slot model in the near future. Edit: It seems that the 7800XT reference is indeed a 2-slot design...

    DAN A4-SFX v4.1

    That is a really strange sidegrade to make - in performance and power draw just too similar to spend money on it - but if you are happy...

    Motherboard ASUS z690i M.2 Stacking Issues

    I only meant the last screw that presses everything together - i did not screw it down completely and the SSDs are fine. I also encountered bending if i screw it completely down.
