DAN A4-SFX v4.1

Why don't you switch to a FormD T1?Hey guys, seems again I am the first one to buy and test shit, here is is how the i9-11900 Non-K performs inside DAN A4 paired with 645LT
Hello, long time lurker here.
Have anyone tried to put a deshrouded Alienware 3080 in the A4? Looking at here: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/alienware-rtx-3080-oem.b8258 It looks like a 2.2 slot, so I guess deshrouding would get me a couple mm that makes it fit?
Thanks

Are you sure about that 2.2 slot? It looks more like a 2.5 from the pictures
Based on those pictures, the heatsink in itself takes up 2 slot and any fan can only be applied on top of that thickness. Maybe it will fit without some 3d-printed spacer if you want to go that route, but surely not without it.
Hey @dondan , I think you should make a transparent bracket for the GPU side with ARGB strip inside, would be great and esthetic!
I know I've asked a similar question in the past here, but has anyone had any luck installing and using either of these two M.2 to U.2 riser cables on the back/rear of the motherboard in the A4-SFX?

Where can I find the STL file for this mod? Thanks!There is a mod to fit the 6800XT if you install it with a 3d printed spacer:
No worries, i make hardcore ITX configurations since 2007,
by now I learned how thermals are, and I'm way past that kind of mistakes
Cheers!
Just saying, I saw a lot of success with FormD T1 paired with 10900k, so 11900k may also work with T1 as well.No worries, i make hardcore ITX configurations since 2007,

Also would love to know where the STL file for this mod is as well!
Also, what is the most slender GPU side spacer panel possible to fit this card? Would like to print one that would fit 2.5 slots instead of 3 slots (which there are stl files already floating around for).
Here is a preview of the A4-SFX gpu_bracket to install bigger GPUs without the side panel. I do not have a 3D printer so maybe someone can test it?
-Just clip in the Slot distance part
-Remove the riser stand offs
- Screw in the right side riser holder with one of the old riser screws
- shift the left side riser holder on the riser itself
- move the riser inside the right holder
- Screw in the left side riser holder with one of the old riser screws
- Use the GPU slot cover to press in the GPU.

Would this work for a V2?Here is a preview of the A4-SFX gpu_bracket to install bigger GPUs without the side panel. I do not have a 3D printer so maybe someone can test it?

Upgraded fans to Chromax version. These have a wider RPM range and are better suited for silent PCs.
These RTX 3000 FE do have good airflow recirculation prevention compared to the 2000 FE that was also pushing air hard into the 645LT.

Build done up in late may thought I'd like to share this DAN A4 V4 build.

I have requested for a custom BIOS from ASRock back in early may (P4.00 based) with IA (Core) AC/DC control for adaptive mode (offset) based OCs. The checksums are in place obviously as with regular production BIOSes. Gigabyte/Asus has this option already exposed. As the default VIDs when used with positive offsets cause tremendous VID boosting and wild vCore fluctuations beyond what adaptive does.
Setting IA AC/DC value to 1 (by AMI Aptio V BIOS values) is the equivalent of setting 0.01 on asus
Use at your own risk.

Thanks for the stl file. I printed it out, and the clips for the riser work well, but the slot spacer I had to cut off the tabs on the top in order to get them in. Not sure if there's another material that would flex more, but PLA doesn't flex nearly enough to get the tabs in.Here is a preview of the A4-SFX gpu_bracket to install bigger GPUs without the side panel.
