DAN A4-SFX v4.1

[Mr.Fenestron]

Got my V2, nicely manufactured!
Still trying to determine which 600w psu to use for it... I want near quiet with no thermal throttling

Specs:
Nvidia Titan XP
corsair 16 DDR4 4000
Sam 960 Pro 2TB
Intel 8700K
Cryorig C7
Asus 370-I strix
Asus PA329Q 32"

Still waiting on my NSG-S0

Corsair SF600 is pretty much your only choice for that build. The 650 silverstone sfx gold psu does not perform as well and has a shorter warranty.

Just get a SF600 and replace the fan with a Noctua NF-A9x14

thinkin about slapping this onto a 1080 ti mini: https://www.alphacool.com/shop/new-...ia-geforce-gtx-1080ti-pro-m23-incl.-backplate

i can't find any actual size specs, but it doesn't look like it adds too much. it seems like the hoses have similar clearance as the power cables? (this is an issue with zotac's arctic storm model). looks like the pump is already integrated, so that should save some space

note: i have 0 experience with watercooling. i was planning on using the 545lc for the cpu, then my mind starting wandering...

Hi guys, I'm wondering if Titan Xp Star Wars Edition would fit inside the case. This card has protrusion over the fan area and as Nvidia's product page suggests, it's 1.75'' which translates to 44.45mm and is really close to A4's 45mm clearance... I downloaded the side profile picture from the press release page and aligned the PCB to my 1080FE to measure the width, it comes to around 43-44mm with backplate. Just wondering if anyone has ever put that card in before. Thanks!

Well, after months of waiting, the case is nearly done.
I will buy some sleeved cables to get rid of the mess under the PSU and i will install the Noctua fan down there.
Also the 2.5 HDD and the SSD(behind the front panel) have to be replaced with one SSD.

The pc parts are as follows:
Asrock Z87E-ITX | i7 4770K | ASUS GTX1080 Turbo | Kingston HyperX Beast 8GB 2133MHz | Samsung 840 120GB | Samsung mSATA 120GB | Corsair SF600 | Cryorig C7

Lemme guess: the A4V2 and accessories will be ready for sale on SFFLab. The Great Karnak has spoken. (Hopefully, I will not have *too* much egg on my face!)

 

[jkiejr]

if i read the website right its actually v3

 

[ondert]

Yes, it says v3 on the Lab. Only difference seems to be the riser itself. The price seems cheaper than EU resellers. However, if I order from the Lab, from where will it be shipped? Taiwan?

 

[jkiejr]

lian li i think, so yes i think taiwan

 

[jtd871]

@dondan, Would you please post a summary of the changes from V1 through V3?

@dondan will there be window kits available for people who purchased V1?

 

[Mr.Fenestron]

Does anyone know of the advantage(s) of the Lian Li riser over the 3m? Also, is it something we could upgrade our V2 to?

Here is what I've found: https://hardforum.com/threads/flexible-pcie-risers.1907110/

My assumption is, the Dan V3 uses a newer Lian Li riser than what is listed from that list I linked. Otherwise, a new version that is a downgrade in quality for the purpose of reducing the price of the case by ~$50 does not make sense to me.

 

[dondan]

The Lian Li riser has a black PCB and black calbes. Both risers are able to handle PCIe 16x Gen3. Both cables use Twin Axial shielding for best performance.

It is a complete new riser from Lian Li currently no pictures are existing. I will take some pictures on weekend. The build quality is better as the old Lian Li one and in my opinion better as the 3M one.

 

[Mr.Fenestron]

But isnt the 3M the only one of those two that supports Gen4? Other than aesthetic color, I don't understand the difference

 

[gffermari]

@dondan

Will there be any other changes apart from the pci e cable??

 

[jtd871]

My guess (and it's just a guess) is that Lian-Li were able to bulk order a substantial number of customized risers from 3M (based on the sales of the previous runs), which could lower the cost to Dan and give Lian-Li the option to sell these risers with other cases or separately to other Lian-Li customers.

 

[dondan]

@gffermari PCB, PCIe signal Cables and cable securement (no use of tape) is different.
@jtd871 No the new riser has nothing to do with 3M
@Mr.Fenestron From the laboratory results made by 3M it is able to handle faster speeds than Gen3. I don't know if the new cable is able to do Gen4. But both of them are using twin axial shielding so the chance is very high.
