Noise turbulences because of close distance to the side panel? Plz share us nice pictures
Running Borderlands 3 benchmark. If you hear a lot of white noise, it's because your volume is cranked up and there's no microphone directly in front of the panel. Also neighbors were mowing the lawn.

Now that is satisfying if anything

Barely audible during an stress test, nice one!Has anyone seen or done a mod to mount a full size AIO on the top of an A4? I have a 280 currently on the outside of a meshlicious, in order to support push/pull with 25mm thick fans and wondering if a 240 with some angle brackets could work ...
What's the current status of this project?Update: Loud thinking
Are the motherboard standoffs standard or a special measurement? I read online that standard standoffs may not work.
I'm planning to try installing AXP90-X47, by sanding the heatsink a bit, using a9x14 and installing 1-2mm shorter mobo standoffs I hope I can get rid of the turbulence noise

I got my new RTX 4070 today. I'm in heaven!
It barely reaches 70ºC under stress! And it's not even undervolted.

Nice one, congrats
Is it an 8 pin or 12VHPWR connector it uses? If the latter, how did you find that connector considering all of the "issues" it has had with user error of plugging it in correctly etc.
The 4070 uses a 8 pin PCI connector, the 4070 Ti uses the 12VHPWR connector. I have the 4070 Ti in my Ghost and just bought the Corsair 12VHPWR cable and made sure it clicked when I plugged it in. This is only a 250W card so I am not too concerned about it melting as long as it is plugged in properly.Nice one, congrats

Here is a test. Notice that the only one struggling with thermals is the CPU lol

Depends on which 4070 model, the 4070 Founders Edition uses the 12VHPWR connector for example. But guessing the partners models uses the traditional 8 pin.
Hey Dan,
how's the new A4 shaping up? Do you think it will be ready this year or is it more of a long-term project?
Cheers mate, and congrats on the C4 release.

Welp, since the Strix B550I is having compatibility issues with 4000 series cards I had to find another board for now. Picked up a used Aorus X570SI and had to downgrade the Black Ridge with my L9I. Things are slightly noisier and a few celsius higher but at least no more crashes.

Nice case feet and cable management here. All in all, the L9a + fan duct works best in this case. It has an awesome backplate and now you also have easy access to your RAM, M.2 and cooler fan without having to take the whole thing completely apart.
5800X3D build moved from my meshlicous back to the OG, A4 v4.1 ... had to deshroud the IO panel/VRM HS of my B550-I gaming to get the 120 to fit ... idles at 42degrees, CB23 pushes to 81 but its for gaming, which it does at 65-70 degrees... thanks to Glob3Tech (https://www.youtube.com/@Glob3Tech) for the various suggestions on cooling options.
ugly AF but, the white bits of card helps maintain placement of the 4070ti etc

I've had this problem when I first put my build together. A MB bios update fixed my issue.
what is your CPU+GPU load? if the load is high and stretch the SF450 to its limit then probably yes, by going to 600/750W versions the fan may not need to ramp as much. Heck with SFX you can go to 850W right now with options from FSP and Lianli
