DAN A4-SFX v4.1

[kroken]

Okay i plan to use latest 4.1 A4-SFX with 645LT, what fans should i add in the case? i will use one 2500 RPM a9x14 for the AIO.

Here is the link to the build I found https://pcpartpicker.com/b/pzJ8TW

The heatsink alone is 23mm high, the A9 fan is 25mm, that's 48mm. Basically at the very limit. The panel seems to be closing fine from the pictures. I wonder how it compares to thin fan + fan duct.

The noise due to the fan's proximity to the grate would be very annoying

Very interesting you can cool the AMD Ryzen 9 3950X with the Noctua L9A:

I received my case today the v4.1. (BTW awesome case good job dan). The riser cable is silver (it isn't a massive problem). Is it a feature of the v4.1 because the riser was changed to gen 4?

What do you guys think, is it better to go with intel i9 9900K and 2080ti instead ?

Happy New Year 2020 everybody !!

@Slegg: I switched from ADT to 3M for PCIe 4.0 compatibility. The 3M cable is only available in silver.

@x111: I would go with the Ryzen.

Hey Dan,

Just to be sure, is the front usb port useless for a x570 aorus user? If it is, can you order a case without the front IO?

 

[dondan]

Please read the FAQ section on dan-cases.com. There is a guide how to use the front port.

@dondan @Fr3ak Happy New Year. Just to confirm v4.1 case will be available on end of January?

 

[dondan]

@Mandalorian

SFFLab: They already have stock but they are offline because of shop changes and new year holidays.

Caseking/OverclockersUK: Will have the cases in the next 2-3 weeks.

Dirac: They have stock but only available in Japan.

looking into building a setup with this case. Excluding AIO, It seems Alpenfohn CPU cooler is king (+120mm fan), few questions:

1. Is there any x570 board that works well with the cooler
2. Would corsair LPX work?

Thanks,

 

[dondan]

For 120mm fan you need VLP Ram Corsair LPX is LP Ram.

Take a look at the last couple pages of this thread, deals with VLP memory.

 

[seppola]

Indeed, noticed the difference. VLP seems like a dead end, not widely available.

Received my case from Dec 27th batch! I'm so happy right now but I have to wait 2 more days for my gpu to arrive.

One thing though I noticed that my riser is really tightly bent, I'm not really worried but anyone can confirm that this is completely normal? Thanks

Planning to use a 3d printing service to print the fan mount and just have a couple of questions:
1) does it matter what kind of plastic is used? I.e. PETG vs PLA
2) how do I mount the fan duct to the L9a?

Seperately, I'm running a ryzen 2600 stock @ -0.1v offset. Idle temps are in the low 40s (ambient temp is ~30c). Does that seem normal? Wondering if I should try and reapply the thermal paste cos it was a bit awkward first time I applied it. Thanks!

 

[dondan]

@Bowspin: normal

1) doesn't matter
2) with the scews that comes with the Noctua.

What are load temps?

idle: 36.8 °C
max during 10 mins of Cinebench: 75.5 °C

 

[Tashi]

Your temps seem within reasonable range to me.

 

[Bowspin]

Hey guys, I just finished my dan build and I am very worried... My cpu idle temps are around 50~60° with the case open, I launch a stress test which quickly put it to 90 so I shut it down

It's my 4th pc build and I don't know what went wrong, the fans are spinning, I applied a regular amount of thermal paste, my noctua l9a is well seated (I even went to check a mounting video in case I messed up somewhere but I did everything like other people did)

I don't know where I messed up and I'm scared of spending a lot of time in rebuilding everything to see nothing change, especially because I would just redo the same as it looks I did everything I should have done..

I will soon try to launch a game and see...
My gpu (5700 power dragon) is around 47 idle and my NVMe is 29 which sounds okay.

I'm with a ryzen 5 3600, Asus rog strix b450-i, noctua l9a.

Any idea of something I overlooked before I rebuild everything? Thanks in advance...

EDIT : update, I tried playing kingdom come delivrance in highest possible settings, apparently my cpu didn't go over 75° and even weirder my gpu didn't go above 59... I don't get it
