DAN A4-SFX v4.1
- Thread starter dondan
- Start date
@thelaughingman I hope you realize that build is pure concept and doesn't work,
the CPU is chocked and throttling AF and only one of the two GPU actually work,
the other one is just for show off, SLI doesn't and will never work on this board,
only crossfire with bifurcation!

I have enough knowledge and undemanding in physics and how this tech works,
I tried to warn him but as you can see he continued with it... perhaps was too late to stop.
So let him struggle I guess if he is into this kind of torture and still trying to make the SLI work
I also warned you guys for the "rotating the PSU" concept for 3080 FE cards,
you cant pour hot air over the already hot components inside the PSU and expect nothing to go wrong....
As @dondan said, a kind of a workaround is to put a fan above to help the exhaust.
Intake. Incidentally, undervolting allows me to get similar perf, but with somewhat quieter 85/70 fans. Granted, my ambient temp is pretty warm right now...
Getting a 2.5" hard drive this week.
Just 4 standard HDD screws needed to mount under the front panel?

Hey guys,
I have the V2 and because of RTX 3000 series I'm leaning towards retiring the asetek 92mm aio.
The Black Ridge looks like it was specifically meant for the dan a4 sfx. Is that my best option for CPU air cooling in terms of maximizing space?

If by maximizing space yo mean fill the case up, then yes... the blackridge is MASSIVE (inside that case... otherwise is a cutie ? ) If you can get or already have a VLP ram then you can consider using a 120mm slim fan, wich will get the best performance. To have space to maneuver and do things perhaps the NH-9Li is a better option.

Providing that both coolers are on the stock 92mm size fan yes, the margin is pretty small between them
@Optimum Tech did a very good review about the BlackRidge, comparing it to other popular options, L9 included, if that can help you ?
Thanks guys!
So I have this ram above. A 120mm won't fit with the Blackridge? Therefore, Blackridge or 9Li perform equally with stock 92mm?

The Blackridge with stock fan is a worse choice than the L9, not worth it at all. Swapping the fan for an NF-A9x14, same fan that comes with the L9, offers better cooling but turbulent noise. LPX RAM is compatible with the Blackridge but your motherboard may not be, there are lots of compatibility issues depending on which specific board you have. Most seem to agree that unless you're committed to using the VLP RAM with 120mm fan, you'd be better off with an L9 + fan duct. A lot less headache, quieter and temperatures only a little higher.
Thanks guys!

Ive only see 2666 or something but some of them can overclock well to 3000 or so as i read somewhere on this forums. 200 dollars for 32 GB 2666 is kinda steep but if you can put a freaking 240mm Rad then is sure worth it
