I'm torn between A4 and waiting for C4.
C4 is gonna give no compromise cooling with lower noise and temp. But A4 is the smallest no compromise raw performance there is.
Edit: Also much prefer bead blasted aluminum finish (possibly coming to C4) vs the brushed aluminum on A4.
It's not the DAN A4 but at least the Hardware you would fit inside it! System contains an i7-8700K overclocked to 5.0GHz and is cooled with an Alpenföhn Black Ridge with 120mm fan upgrade, 16GB VLP RAM @2666MHz and the star of the show...a RTX 2070! The currently most powerful GPU that fullfills the ITX standard!
I've finished my first bunch of actual gaming tests measuring FPS!
My tests include 7 relevant game titles for 2019 that I've tested in 4K (2160p) and 1080p max. settings...
The Games were: Anthem, Apex Legends, Battlefield V, Fortnite, Ghost Recon Wildlands, Metro Exodus, PUBG and SCUM!
For everybody not capable of the german language...feel free to jump directly to 6:00 for the results only!
TEMPERATURES ARE CAPTURED IN FRAME FOR EVERY GAME IN THE UPPER LEFT CORNER!
3840x2160p all max. settings (AVG FPS out of 7 game titles):
AVG FPS: 51.1
Min. FPS: 30.6
Max. FPS: 79.1
1% low FPS: 64.3
01.% low FPS: 20.0
Just picked up my V4 at the post office and threw in my components. Still waiting on new cables and i'll go with the Noctua NH-L9i and a duct or the 645LT.
I can confirm a slim 15mm fan will fit under the motherboard.
Finally finished my custom cables and added the 2nd fan under the PSU. Also ended up buying a 1 TB NVMe m.2 SSD which I put in place of the 512 GB one I had originally (I relocated it to the back of the mobo). I ended picking up some NZXT LED cable combs but haven't installed them as I'm not sure about compatibility with my motherboard. Overall, I think it came out pretty nice. And I'll probably keep my eyes open around Black Friday to upgrade to maybe a RTX 2070 or 2080.
@dondan are you able to share with us the order ratio/percentage between black VS silver order? I am curious on what people order.
Having both black and silver Lian Li PC-Q25, I found black case to be very bland where else silver shows the detail and beauty of the case. Just my opinion.

Does anyone know if NVME temps are better with the fan below the motherboard? That was my main issue with the V3, my 970 evo would thermal throttle which led me to another case. I'd be curious about either front and/or rear orientations if anyone knows.

I'm noticing my 970 Evo hits the mid 70s with a fan below it. The SSD is behind the mobo.
I don't have the stock copper heatsink (Label) since I had an EK heatsink on it but I just ordered a slim heatsink. I'm hoping it fits and reduces the temps.
