DAN A4-SFX v4.1
- Thread starter dondan
- Start date
- added thread for easy installation of custom window kits
Hi,
do you have exact measurements of the side panels [especially diameter of the rounded edges] and the location of the threads [A in the Picture] for custom panels? I want to order custom acrylic windows to be used with the V4, but i can only go with measurement by eye otherwise which would probably be very inaccurate.
I will offer a CAD file for it later on dan-cases.com.
Maybe with this you can mount the pump on the hd plex location and it could work with full length RTX FE (270mm):

Or double pump.

That’s super interesting! Thanks man!
I’ve seen only this before
https://www.aquatuning.co.uk/water-...lphacool-reservoir-individual-for-dc-lt-pumps
That can fit easily and it give a reservoir as well to the system. I am trying to see in with a DDC pump the temp are better compared with a DC-LT.
Today I got the A4-SFXv4 samples. I will show some pictures tomorrow on day light. I love USB Type-C
Can I get one?
Anyway, just ordered! Let's see!!! It will be great to keep the possibility to use the Titan RTX and a proper custom loop!

Update on this, in case anyone is thinking of skylake-x cpus with the Dan case: fault with overheating is on Asrock X299E-ITX/ac motherboard BIOS bugs. Any setting change to voltage or clock ratios will disable thermal throttling when all cores are in use. This seems to makes it impossible to overclock or undervolt CPUs for real use cases on this motherboard. Best one can do is delid and fix case fans, so the thermal throttling on "Auto" settings doesn't reduce the clock rate much. My setup gets 4.3GHz on 2 cores and 3.4Ghz on 18 cores, stabilizing at 80C, which is the thermal throttling threshold. Since this is the only mini-itx motherboard for skylake-x cpus, this is the max one can get in a mini-itx case.
I also tried several undervolting configurations, getting up to to 4.7GHz on 2 cores and 4.2GHz on 18 cores on stress tests. But these don't seem to handle real-use cases where high voltage pulls occur.
That stock Intel cooler makes feel nostalgic. Great job!hi everyone,
my 1st dan a4 sfx v3
Is that perhaps the ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-I GAMING motherboard by any chance? Only that you've removed the "font stIcker" on the lower part (upper side on your image) of the I/O cover?...
Yep, is that. Is easy to remove also without heatgun!Is that perhaps the ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-I GAMING motherboard by any chance? Only that you've removed the "font stIcker" on the lower part (upper side on your image) of the I/O cover?...
Voilat! A DDC in in the DAN! Next step, is to use the thin TX120, turning 90 degrees the DDC and swap the 2070 with the TItan RTX.
EDIT: I've turned 90 degrees the CPU block because wasn't touching properly the CPU!
VRM capacitors were interfering, and under Prime95 after 1 second the temp was going to 100 degrees.
I am stress testing now, but seems the Eisbaer LT combo was doing a better job. I am pretty sure the reason is the radiator. I think the TX and the LS have a better performance! I will keep updated!

Fabio, what are you running as a psu? I skimmed back a few pages and couldn't find the the answer... I can't tell it it's G-unique or HDPlex. Using your above-pictured build as a reference, do you know if the HDPlex AC-DC adapter would fit anywhere in your case? Either above or below the gpu, or, somehow heinously mounted in front of the mobo?
