DAN A4-SFX v4.1

Hello, just registered here on the forum.
Found this case showcased on a LTT video the other day and was impressed. I thought my current FTZ01 was small but this is on a whole other level.
I'm definitely gonna pre-order the v3 and transfer my components over.
I've got a question however. I've got a delidded 8700k running at stock speeds with a Cryorig C1 and getting great temps, but obviously can't reuse it as it's too big.
I've seen several people use the asetek AIO and getting great results so should I go for that, or is it "overkill"? As in, would an ordinary air cooler keep the cpu at a 70-80 degrees without problem? My ambient is between 18-24*C.

I have an 8700k (stock), not delidded (yet), with an asetek aio. I've not seen temps above 70°c yet, although I've not done any "stress tests", just gaming etc.
A4-SFX v2 with Titan V
a Germany forum members (CeresPK) installed the most powerful GPU inside the A4-SFX.

Now that's how it's done!
Here's the original post
The cooler setup is a Cooltek LP53 + Noctua NF12x15 according to his profile on an 8770K.

Got my case today! I got a good deal on a V2 that someone changed their mind about, unopened! Love how easy it is to work in this case, I really appreciate having easy access to all screws and the excellent cable routing channel in the front of the case! A little bit of patience plus a pack of zipties and you end up with a super clean build.
Imgur Album - I'd make a build log but it's nothing special.
Note: I straightened out the crooked connector on the PSU after taking this haha

Just got my A4-SFX v2 and I'm super happy with it! My build is on pcpartspicker com, it's the build with the same username (sorry I can't post link here yet).
One thing I do have to comment on (maybe @dondan will read this) is that I didn't realize my 2.5 inch hdd is of another form factor than the normal 7mm. I have the 15 mm z height version, so that means there's only one place to put it in this case, which is on the inside on top of the hdd bracket (you can see this in the pictures). The hdd being on top is already taking precious space, and this is a 15 mm version which takes even more space. I feel like space could be better utilized if there was an option to lower the hdd and give more room inside to route the PSU cables.
Anyways, that was my two cents and I really love this case!

It would be my guess it will be back in stock. This cooler is only sold through their website, it is probably not normally a big seller but with the release of the A4-SFX v2.0 suddenly they are getting tons of orders for the cooler. I would just give them some time, or you could contact them and check.

Can anyone figure out how this guy installed a full-on water cooled system in his case with CPU and GPU water cooling?
I dont see how it all fits in there. What am I not seeing?

He has a pass-through fitting at the top left corner to connect with an external radiator (and quite possibly the pump is external, as well)
You'll see more builds in this type of form factor with entirely contained liquid cooling in the Ghost S1 with a top hat
Yes, external Rad,
but I think that a watercoooling solution with a 120 Rad is possibile inside DAN A4
@D10S Any updates on 120AIO, Zotac 1080Ti Mini and 500W FSP Flex PSU?
