DAN A4-SFX v4.1

[rtxfangay]

Hi @dondan

Will the window kit be compatible with V3? I want to buy a thicker card for my build and am hoping the new window side panel will it give enough clearance

 

[Alucard]

@Nanook: Yes late Q1 or early Q2

ohh, thank you Dan!!

 

[xpt11]

I think late Q1 2019

will skip my V3 plan and wait for the much improved V4

same here!

Which is the best AIO on the market now? My plan: Dan A4 with 120mm AIO and Noctua NF-A12x25

sorry for may bad english...

 

[dondan]

@Alucard Keep in mind that for v4 the 120mm AIO bracket will not longer be included.

I am aware of!

I hope to receive soon my HDplex!!

@dondan one small question: the plastic division is supposed to be removed with the 120mm AIO setup?

Sorry I'm new here, but is that a 120mm AIO? I thought you were limited to short ITX GPUs IF you use 120mm AIO..

i.e.

1) Internel 120er AIO. You have to use a thin 120er AIO like the Corsair H60 and a ITX GPU. Flip the SFX-L PSU will allow you to mount the AIO on the SFX 120er mount points.

i.e.

You can mount a 120mm AIO by either using an itx GPU or by using a HDPlex instead of a SFX PSU, the first pics he will be using a HDPlex.

If you look at this post you will see the HDPlex mounted.

I'm thinking of building ITX system on Dan A4 with 120mm AIO, because I want silent system and I don't need much GPU power.

Can you please tell me if my spec looks ok?
CPU: Intel i9 9900K
HSF: Corsair Hydro H60 v2 + Noctua NF-A12-15(with low fan speed controller)
M/B: Asus ROG Strix Z390-I
RAM: 32GB G.Skill Ripjaws V 3200
GPU: not sure yet, any recommendation besides Gigabyte GTX1070/1080 Mini? I don't need much GPU power..
SSD: 1TB Samsung 970 EVO
Case: Dan A4-SFX v3
PSU: 600W Corsair SF600 Platinum

Thanks.

Oh, ok thanks for the info. I don't wanna use HDPlex, because that also require large brick power adapter, right?

Yeah you need a brick and it limits options for high power GPUs.

Thanks.

Looks good. BTW 450W Corsair Gold is enough.

There is also a RTX 2070 Mini available:

Thanks, but I really want the system to be quite as possible. 600W Corsair should run quieter than 450W right? Also I picked SF600 Platinum because it comes with sleeved cables.

Cool, didn't know there was 2070 Mini.

is it normal that the track and trace code of my ADT riser cable is stuck on ''Leaving parcel center Guangzhou (China)'' since December 17th?

& @seamon, isn't that cooltek a little bit too tall for the DAN? like 5mm too tall?

Using a A9x14 fan from NH-L9i

I love crammin'

The 5TB drives will not fit.

The 5TB drives will not fit.

It does. 2 x 5 TB drives are in the drive bay. 1 x 5 TB drive is just sitting on top of the other 2.

I’m interested in how you accomplished this. Can you share a photograph of your setup?

Sure thing. I'll disassemble it sometime next week for some upgrades, I'll click some pics

I wish everyone all the best for 2019.
