Hi team About 18 months ago, I built my second build in a Dan A4. Last week, it appears that there is no power getting to the Mobo (asus z490 i gaming) as the RGB isn’t lighting up and the pc isn’t turning on. I have checked the power cable and also the cable going into the PSU and am...

just wondering what the airflow is like/intended to be over the MOBO? With the 30X0 FE style GPU, there would be signifcant heat being pushed directly onto the MOBO, which could push up M.2 temps on ITX boards as there could be a lack of airflow depending on how much space / airflow from the...

I use a 10600k with a Asus Z490-i and it works like a charm - the only issue is that if you use the AIO and M.2 drives, there is no airflow going over the M.2, which resulted in temps that got too high - to fix this, I purchased one of Noctua 40mm 5000rpm fans and have mounted that over the M.2...

I don't use AMD, but I can comment on high end CPU temps on a custom modded Dan A4.1 - I have a Asus z490 i-gaming mobo, and a i5-10600K CPU - I use the Acetek AIO cooler and the CPU thermals are absolutely fine. However, due to the lack of airflow over the M.2 drives, these were getting very...

I agree with all of the above, but I can add to the thermals question. I run a Dan A4 with a overclocked 10600K and a 3080 FE - 92mm 645LT Asetek cooler (specifically designed for the A4), does the trick for the CPU. However, if you are running any M.2 in additon to your SSD you may need...

yes - would be good to see a couple of photos. But obviously I will not say anything thatn Dan disagrees with :)

The SX700-PT has 125 mm (W) x 63.5 mm (H) x 100 mm (D) The SXF 750 has 128 mm (W) x 65 mm (H) x 102 mm (D) Therefore the only larger measurement is the height- which shouldn't make a difference in the A4 (there may be a very slight bend in the side panels when you put them on - but you get...

Yes - thats everything - just make sure that you email Phil with the exact GPU (when I got mine from him for the 3080, the options weren't on the site at the time as the port is different on the 30X0 series). Only other things worth looking at: 1. the 10600K and the 3070 have considerable power...

Thanks for the response: I copy my set up list from a older post where I was showing off my mods. BIOS is up to date. It may well be that I totally forgot to check if that port is supported... I just get that message and am unable to use any functionality. Part List Main components: Dan...

Hi all - I have recently completed a Dan A 4.1 (high spec) build. I receive the “USB device over current status detected” error if I try to plug in the front USB-C connector into the Mobo. If I do not plug this in, there is no error message - has anyone else experienced this problem / has a...

agree with the above - if you have the AIO, then you will see what a "squeeze is" :) good luck!

I agree with everything conmanique has said - likewise happy to answer any questions on the Dan 4.1 - I have recently completed a build with fully mods (e.g. an intenal monitor the sits on the front panel that I have cut up to make it fit) as well as the AIO so happy to assit with any wiring...

I followed this video obviously its for the FE, but it would give you a starting point. I ran the benchmarks with Heaven Benchmark 4.0. Although I note, I got to a stable undervolt on Heaven, but sometimes crashed on Watch Dogs Legion - I editied the undervolt very minorly on MSI and then...

Agree with the above - MSI Aferburner is what I used to do the bulk of the GPU undervolt - which lowered GPU temps approx by 9 degrees. I have also removed the plastic sheet to help with airflow but I note that I am using the 3080FE with the silly fans. If you have any circulation issues...

The Acetek 92mm is both wonderful and terrible - it works a treat cooling my i5-10600k overclocked, but getting it in and my m2 temperatures were troublesome. 1. Fit - there is a very small gap between the AIO, Noctua 92mm fan and the PSU which means fitting the cables is very hard. I went to...

Hi team I thought I would post my first real SFF build. My first ever built was the Kickstarter Dan A4, where I was simply happy to be able to create a computer that actually worked. This time, I wanted to build a high-end machine that also looks the part. First, I must make a concession as...

Thanks - that is something to consider if the noise gets too much.

For what it is worth, I have just finished a new high end build in the Dan A4.1. I will be posting a full post shortly (next few days), but long story short, I have had a number of temperature related issues. I'm using an asus Z490 with two M.2 SSDs, i5-10600k with AIO cooler (so no airflow)...

Just installed a 40mm fan over the m2 ssd and its worked a treat - thanks so much

Thanks so much - will try this over the weekend. You sir, are a legend, It appears to be a lack of airflow over the SSD so I will look at the 40mm fan option, as the 92mm will not fit over the AIO I have installed. Neverending heat issues, first the CPU, then the 3080 and now the SSD Thanks...
