The ones I’ve seen plug into the usb 3.0 header and essentially turn the 2 usb 3 into one usb 3.1

I'm not sure you're understanding the issue.
Look at the USB 3.0 adapter on my X570 mobo. https://static.gigabyte.com/Product/2/6892/2019062610315505ff4a5d2efcf8b626b8162eb7c933cccb_src.png
Look at the USB 3.1 to 3.0 header adapter. Amazon link
Do you understand why this is an issue now? The PSU is right next to this connector. It's not possible to use this right angle adapter, but I have not found any other variations.
Which way will the connector on the adapter face once connected? I guess I understood it would face away from the psu. I’m glad you said something, I may be in the same boat. I was gonna use the ASUS X570 strix.
The 3.1 header connector on the adapter will be facing the PSU leaving no space to plug it in. The best solution I can think of currently, if it works, is using a 3.1 to 3.0 header adapter + 3.0 to 2.0 header adapter. Not sure if that actually works. I'll let someone else confirm before I waste my money.
You right, I did some lookin and the connector faces the wrong way on that adapter and probably others like it. I know I’ve seen usb 3.0 extension cables but I’m sure they’d be too long
I didn't think of that. This should do the trick. Not too bad, but definitely not ideal. Amazon link
Lifesaver dude, lifesaver. I’ve been panicking trying to find a fix to my newfound problem and now I can relax now. Thanks. The only thing I found was a 12” extension cable from cablemod.
congrats guys! @Heckapoo and @fullnet85
Based on the tracking, mine is still stuck at customs for examination. No idea when it will be processed. Customs here in my country is notorious for very slow processing and sometimes even not processing the parcel unless you physically visit their office. And their office is 110KM away from me.... sadlife..

Now Caseking has updated the shipping date...
it says 18.12.2019 so a bit later then expected but depending on the arrival of the RYZEN 3950X maybe even perfect in time!?

I fully understand the reason behind inverting the PSU related to cable management, but from experience, that little fellah blows a fairly hot air that, in this layout impacts directly on the radiator so he can't use anything but hot air to cool itself, even hotter that the average warm air inside a such small case. I sincerely suggest you to consider unbraided cables that allows you the needed tight bent to avoid the radiator.inverted power supply
I'm very pleasantly surprised with the temps in my A4 so far. I haven't done any intensive gaming + streaming as of yet, but it's done far better than I expected in benchmarks. Only hit 58C CPU and 70C GPU on the Time Spy benchmark. 3700X + 645LT and a EVGA 2070 Super Black.
Much better than my temps in the M1 using the same CPU cooler. That isn't that surprising because the 645LT is meant with the A4 in mind, and I purchased the 2070 Super Black with the A4 in mind as well. Only used them in the M1 because I wanted to test everything out and make sure it worked while I waited for the new case.

It looks like Thermalright is working on a new heatsink in the sub 50mm height class:

So after some USPS nonsense Ive gotten my A4-SFX V4.1! Going to migrate the parts into it either later today or tomorrow!
Thank you sir, I must have glossed over that. I didn’t realize that would be an obstacle until recently.
I wonder if anybody knows more info in terms of how to make window kit for Dan A4. I saw the guide on Dan's website, but I am still not sure how to modify the non-glass part of side panels.
I'm building my machine now. I just want to say, whoever said the ASETEK 645LT was designed for this case was full of shit. Believe me when I say I'm trying to stay positive.. but..
One of the circulation hose fixtures binds at the graphics card, deflecting it towards the case side panel -- the center (spinning) hub of one of the card's fans is definitely going to be rubbing the panel while it's spinning! I can make it work by removing one of the two snap-in female receptacles that helps to keep the case's side panel in place, the one from the power supply side (leaving one plus the two screws on each side... which should be OK, but kludgey). Guess I'll find somewhere else to drill a hole for a new screw to make up for it (countersunk, even.. this will be fun :/ ) . The cooler still touches, but not so bad. Why couldn't they have just moved it over? I guess that would be a full redesign of the radiator, and who knows what else.
Without doing the above, the cooler also binds at the power button, and I'm pretty sure the screws of the "recommended" Noctua A9-14 slim (installed on the cooler) intrude into the pcie 2-width form factor (lucky the heatsink cowling for the card tapers in as it comes off the card!). Forget about using the stock PSU cables (Corsair SF600), and I'm doubtful that there is more than a millimeter between the Molex connectors and the cooler's fan, so even that seems unlikely. I know you guys with custom cables have done this, but wow. Unless I've missed something, it seems like removing that snap connector is the only way to do this right.
So three hours in, going to try again tomorrow. I just love how the box came with an ad for this cooler too.. No instructions to support it though, from either company, haha! I wills say however that I am impressed by the quality of the case build and the production value of the case instructions.. fwiw
