I bring some information. I just received my case and I tried to fit my MSI RX 5700 MECH in it. The RX 5700 mech is clearly not compatible with the Dan Dase. The backplate is too thick, so the graphics card does not fit into the case. I removed the backplate (I lose the warranty) and everything fits in place! It's very tight, the fan rubs the sides when I press the sides.

Dan A4 Compatible Radeon RX 5700 cards

Ok I have to ask for temps.
Going for the same exact setup and would like to know cpu and gpu temps on oc bios.
Also noticed that the aio fan and bottom case fan are both pulling air in, doesn't this collide with the gpu's flow pushing air to the bot?

Did anyone try MSI Radeon RX 5700 MECH? Seems like it might just fit at 46mm. Had to return my Red Dragon as it seemed to die in a few hours - feeling nervous and looking for an MSI card.
edit: nevermind
saw the post above.

saw the post above.I know this has been confirmed, but I'd also like to say that the PowerColor Red Dragon RX 5700 XT fits the Dan A4 SFX nicely.
You'll find the pictures here: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/b/2yjypg
Temps are a little bit high (see link), but there's still room for a Noctua NF-A9x14 under the motherboard. I just need better PSU cables first.
I went for a Corsair SF600 Gold, and the cables are too rigid. Fortunately a co-worker will provide me his unused cables from his SF600 Platinum.
This thread helped me chose the graphics card so I help these pictures help others decide.

You should set your 92mm fan under GPU as an exhaust, not as an intake like it's now. Your GPU temps should improve.
See now I'm confused, image 4 shows intake as fan orientation
askaiser have you tried both fan orientations?
@Xavi3R, I seem to hover around 70-75c when I go on long stints of gaming. Usually at 1440p pushing 110+ fps. Card is usually pegged at max. I've also flashed the Red Dragon 5700XT Bios on it so it pulls the full 230 watts. Runs just fine with the conservative fan curve from factory. I think my fan speeds go up to 2300 rpm, so not terrible but audible. I am running 1938 mhz or so on the card at ~1200mv so the next step I was going to take was to undervolt it. But it is a PITA when the drivers keep crashing and resetting all of my settings.
As for the fan orientation, the AIO fan has to be the way it is or the cables will rub the fan since I did not buy an extra guard. As for the one under the mobo I just figured that the cold air from under the case would be enough to cool off the m.2 drive and chipset. The dual 100mm fans on the GPU though push waaaaay more air than the two noctuas do. I even have the noctua under the mobo with the inline adapter to drop the rpms because there would be this god awful whistle noise otherwise. I'm probably going to swap things eventually as I realllllly need to re-run the cables so they aren't so bunched up. But since my setup runs 70-75c on both GPU and CPU I'm not terribly worried. Junction temp is usually 80c +- 3c.
I've added a 14mm Noctua fan under the motherboard. Really tight, I had to remove everything to put it. There's like 1 to 2 mm between the fan and the GPU riser.
The two fans are now as exhausts and I did notice a very small improvement on both GPU and CPU.
As it was so difficult to put this second fan, I didn't try to measure what it looks like as intake.
Also... I've returned the PowerColor RX 5700 XT to Amazon after encountering drivers issues:
- Issues with some games with latest drivers Adrenalin 2020 (Battlefield V was crashing)
- Most importantly, as the GPU junction temperature was quite high, I tried to change the fan curve.
- Max fan speed was around 1000 - 1400 RPM even at full load
- Latest drivers Adrenalin 2020 don't apply and save the fan curve at all. You change the curve, apply it, save the profile, then poof! Back to default.
- Previous drivers Adrenalin 2019 does save the curve, but after a reboot the fan speed gets stuck at 65535 RPM - resulting in fans never spinning (105°C+ here we come).
- The only way to make custom fan curves was to define a profile per game - but all games are not detected such as Microsoft Store games. I wasn't satisfied with this workaround.
After reading quite a lot of similar reviews on Amazon and Newegg, I decided to return it and buy an EVGA RTX 2070 SUPER BLACK GAMING instead.
Temperatures are good: 50° to 60°. Quieter than the PowerColor. I can also undervolt it to win 5°C. No drivers issues at all and now very satisfied.
I ordered the PowerColor Red Dragon 5700xt yesterday as a replacement for my old 1070.
On pictures I saw the PowerColor has a backplate.
So my question to whom that use it: where did u route the riser? Still behind the GPU or under the Mobo.
Dunnow if I can put it there because I’ve got a M.2 on the back of my board.

Seems no one is keeping this thread up to date. Just found this XFX AMD Radeon™ RX 5700 XT Triple Dissipation 8GB GDDR6
Estimated Dimensions And Weights
Card Dimension (cm) 32.6 x 14.8 x 4.4

Heya nice nickname! Haha. I've got another thread about this topic. I went with the PowerColor Red Dragon 5700 XT. Sapphire pulse XT does not fit when I tried it
Sorry for the super delayed response. There's 2-3mm clearance to the side panel. Length of the card is not that long so there's plenty of space at the front panel part
I ended up not buying the pulse. Good thing the seller let me tested the card to see if it fits.
btw last week I tried jamming the Mech OC card in another case with 45mm clearance. if anyone lives where removing the backplate would not void warranty, feel free to remove it and use it in the case. the backplate itself was like 4mm, too thick for no good haha
Found this card some days ago, too. I love the look, but it’s way too long, isn’t it?!
There is also a 2-fan-Version of the XFX: https://www.xfxforce.com/gpus/xfx-amd-radeon-tm-rx-5700-xt-double-dissipation-8gb-gddr6
Two Slot, 280mm ... I might give it a try ...

smallformfactor.net
Looking at this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radeon_RX_5000_series#Physical_characteristics
It seems the ONLY card that would ever fit inside a DAN 4.0/4.1 case is actually the "PowerColor Red Dragon RX 5700 XT" as it's the only one with 41mm in thickness as I assume that's the most troublesome requirement?
How about the non-XT versions ? Wikipedia does not mention them - are they somewhat smaller? (I don't think so)
Btw what does this mean:
DAN Cases
Graphics Card
Width
Without backplate: 40 mm
Including backplate: 45 mm
@dondan
Does it mean that if you remove the backplate the maximum recommended width is 40mm so it won't touch the case and cause short circuit while if the backplate is left there up to 45mm can be considered?
