DAN A4-SFX v4.1

[dondan]

@RoxasShadow The case can't fit 120mm case fans. If you use the Black Ridge without 120mm fan, better get the Noctua L9a.

 

[RoxasShadow]

@dondan thanks for your reply. I will get two 92mm and the Noctua L9a then (although the ridge bundle could be actually a little bit cheaper). Any plan to update the GPU list with the Super?

On this site you can filter sup 140mm tall, sub 300mm length and Dual-Slot cards. If you skip the water cooled solution this list should help:

@yj668

How did you mount the NF-A9x14 to the pump?
And did you notice considerable improvement to the motherboard thermals from it? I've seen a couple of posts where m2/board temps are greatly increased due to the 645L.

@mizvekov: Currently there is no plan to offer a upgrade kit.

Does anyone know of a place that has 4.0 risers we can upgrade to? I'm planning on using this case for years and by then 3.0 will probably be slow.

 

[dondan]

Google for this: 8KC3-0726-0250 it is the 250mm default version. It will fit but very very close. This is why I used a custom 300mm version.

Just finished my first build.
Specs:

• Asus Strix Z390-I
• Intel i7-9700K
• Alpenfohn Black Ridge Heatsink (modified to work with motherboard)
• 2x Noctua NF-A9x14 Chromax fans (one for heatsink and one for underneath motherboard)
• Corsair Vengeance LPX 32gb, 3200mHz
• Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti FE
• Corsair SF750 PSU
• Samsung 970 Pro 512gb SDD (boot drive)
• 2x Samsung 860 QVO 4tb SSDs (storage)
• Sleeved power and Sata cables from Corsair (shortened to fit in case)

I ended up sanding the base of my case to create a well worn look. Then I used parts from the silver and black case to create a two tone style that goes well with the sanded parts of the base. I swapped the case feet and used NFC Mini feet.

Do you have pictures of your modded Blackridge? I've literally the exact same build and want to figure out how to get the components to fit as the Blackridge hits against the components of the Asus motherboard.

I don't have any actual pictures and prefer not to take apart my PC to get some. However, I've edited these images to show what part of the heatsink I removed to get it to fit on the Asus Z390i. These are estimates. I kinda figured it out through trial and error. The parts in red, I removed using a dremel. I then sanded the edges to help make the edges not as sharp. Just need to be sure to remove all metal shavings when finished.

Hi guys, been following this community for the last few months, finally today got my Dan A4 v4.1 case, it is a beauty.
I'm gonna transfer my current build to the case in the coming week, hopefully I can post some pictures later on

Is there a specific way i should route the riser cable, from the mobo side or from gpu side ?

 

[Deleted member 14648]

So Caseking change the date to "17.01.2020"; I just hope this is for the second batch or something. :C

 

[Ranmaz]

Found about this case through Optimum Tech. So I'm new to the whole sff thing. Can anyone confirm for me if this gpu will work?

I don't think it will fit, its slightly over 2 slots.

Does anyone know where I can order a Dan 4.1 in the US or when they will become available to buy again?

? Hi! If possible, the riser cable should be routed through the GPU side, making the bendings less tight. Although, some GPUs have a quite thic rearplate that takes too much room and the cable can't be routed because then it pushes the GPU too much. Then you'll have to route it through the Mobo side, wich is more difficult and will require patience making the bendings. I used a pencil as a "template" to slowly bend the cable over it and avoid harming anything. You'll do just fine, I'm sure

 

[dondan]

@kowalzk1 For v1, v2, v3, v4.1 route it on the motherboard side for v4 route it on the GPU side.
@Matvey Just removing the top part of the M.2 part would be much easier than modding it

So bad News for everyone who pre-ordered from Caseking, it's not a second batch. Meaning probably no Dan Case before next Year. At this point im really sad as I wanted to finish my build this year. ( Source: Computerbase Forum (german) Second Source: SFF Reddit )

ah that sucks, I had one preordered and assumed that I would still get mine before christmas. Guess not.

Assuming same delayed date goes for overclockers.co.uk then as well
Would've been nice to have it before end of year but hey.
