Hey Dan is there any update on these sidepanels? Are you still planning on releasing something like this?v5 is on hold I am working on the new special side panels.
DAN A4-SFX v4.1

Good to know! I need to start saving up for this cardYes, with plenty of space! With the panels on, there is still about 1cm gap between the GPU fans and the panel itself. A dual slot card is a dual slot card…
I even experimented with extending the GPU mounting screws so that the card sits closer to the front panel and can better utilise the blow through design (pic).
Weird fact is that my temps and noise got worse (blow through design on this inno3d is marketing bs). Due to this I reverted to the original 5mm spacing…

Hey, how were you able to mount the gpu after adding those spacers? I also tried this and I was not able to do it with my piece and neither with my 2060 due to then not being able to put the i/o of the card through the hole on the rear side of the case.
The ones I am using (yellow color) are 3-4mm thick as opposed to regular 5mm spacers (black ones).
I mean there's a cutout in the back of the case where you can see the gpu IO with it's DP and HDMI ports. Above it, this silverish metal plate with the connections bends through the case and you can screw it down with two screws. THAT hole is exactly the size that a 2 slot IO can fit through it without spacers.
Once I want the gpu to be a few mm towards the side panels, I cannot put the top of the IO through the case, as it now doesn't fit into that hole - it being a few mm to the side from it.
Hi Everyone,
I successfully got a 3080 TI FE card. And I have to confirm to not flip the PSU (corsair SF750).
Indeed, I flipped the PSU to allow air going out through it from the GPU and it results of high temps, strange electronic noises in PSU and the GPU card was in Power Limit: Reliability mode. I think, due to high temperature in PSU, it starts itself to reduce power to obviously reduce temps of its own components. But in fact, the PSU is not aware that the heat is coming from outside, so from the GPU. --> I switched off immediately the computer.
I did run the same test by putting the PSU on the table near the computer and let the GPU exhaust fan completely free, without obstruction... then PSU was delivering needed power without extra heat, GPU running at max power without reliability mode to be activated, system was cool enough!
Nope, 4.1 over here too. I cannot fit the card's IO through the back of the case and that prevents me to even plug it to the gpu slot as well.
Unfortunately for the 5800x with Eco mode on and with the asetek 92mm aio, I am still getting 60c idle and over 90c gaming, with undervolt : (

Because no one has talked about it. I thought I chime in.
I got a Dell/Alienware 3080, and was able to fit it in the A4 after deshredding.
I tried fitting 14mm Noctua fans originally but it was still 2mm too thick. I ended up with Scythe 12mm fans and it worked perfectly. Gaming temp (2077 Psycho setting with DLSS on) is around 75c core, 86c vrm, which is acceptable.

60C idle is not ok. Are you sure that the pump/block is seated correctly ? What's the temperature inside the bios ? Do you have a spare heatsink to test (AMD box is fine) ?
I have re-pasted and re-installed block. I don't have a spare heatsink unfortunately. HWinfo is showing pump rpm constantly around 5600-6700; Noctua A9x14 is around 1400 at idle and upwards of 2600 at full load
@dondan fan direction is push
Hi all! My new build.
Story, build, more pics here:

I have not had problems to fit the graphics card, it does not rub against the side panel of the case, nor noise of turbulence, those 2 millimeters of margin go very well.

Thanks, someone already warned me that the 14mm fan was better than the 25mm. I'll check. But to get better performance with 14mm I need the fan duct otherwise it will only recycle all the hot air inside.
I wanted black aesthetics for this build. I sold my other PC as is.
Sometimes after travelling around the card got a little loose and the fans were stopped by the side panel. So I took those Noctua Chromax Adapters and put them on the Fan shroud. Works very well.
