Does anyone know the thickness of the heatsink/pump (the part that cools the CPU) of those AIO liquid cooling kits?

This might be a completely useless question but I felt it worth asking from people who already have builds in the A4. Is there any value to having the 120mm bracket mounts also present on the left side of the GPU side? This is to enable mounting of two A12x15s on the GPU side using two of the brackets and then removing the shroud+fans of the GPU. Like the dual 92mm bracket in the NFC S4 for the Zotac Mini cards.

I know same effect can be achieved by just zip-tying the fans to GPU (I currently have two NF-F12s zip-tied to Strix 1080 in Ncase) but this could more robust. As to potential issues with this, some dual slot cards might not fit in this manner. But if it does fit, the cooling and noise would be better than stock cooler? Just looking for some thoughts on this. Thanks.

Hey Guys, i want to show you my actual Dan A4 Build with an 30mm Radiator.
Ryzen 5 2600X (4Ghz@1,2V)

(One Drive Link, i will change these soon to imgur or anything else)

I also have a question for some RTX 2080 users.
Im interested in the Founders Edition or the EVGA XC, both Dual Slot. Noise is very important for me and my Gainward GHX 1080 GS is (with an 0,95V undervolting and a manual Fan Curve) very quiet. Almost Silent.

I dont expect the same cooling performance but it should be at least as quiet as a Noctua Fan arround 900-1300 RPM (PS4 PRO under „semi load“). Is this possible?

If you're referring to what we've just listed on the lab, folks can just ping me requests for measurements and I can take them, FWIW.

I have the 2080 FE, and you can pick toasty vs loud.

Voila!! :)

@Kmpkt , do you think I need the SYNC cable on? Every time I run 3DMark TimeSpy the computer shutdown like there's not enough power...

EDIT: with a 2070 it works with no problem actually!! Wrong Dynamo Combo setup??

But the 360W is dedicated only to the GPU and 1 SATA SSD, and the 200W mini to the 9900K and motherboard...

The Brick is a Gury one, rated for 600W and more.

Anyway, enjoy!!

Awesome build maybe currently the most powerful. Do you power the gpu only by the kmpkt?

Did you test it with the HDPlex that is able to handle 400W?
You mean, using either the 200W mini for the CPU and the 400W for the GPU or ONLY the HDplex 400W?

I can try later, but I was trying to achieve this 560W in total using the Dynamo Combo, But Maybe I am missing something...

BTW, The system with the Titan RTX goes down at 440W, measured on the wall plug...

Thanks man!

Only by the 360 KMPKT. The 200W mini KMPKT is dedicated to the CPU and motherboard. Do you know how to to "merge" the two wattage of the KMPKT to have a total of 560W to be used for the entire system?

And you are using a GUnique brick to power this? I might be wrong, but I thought he only made 12v bricks, KMPKT stuff runs on 19v no?

EDIT: with a 2070 it works with no problem actually so seems under load the Titan RTX use more than 350W, OR, I need to use two separate PCIe cable instead one of 20AWG with 2 connectors?

But the 360W is dedicated only to the GPU and 1 SATA SSD, and the 200W mini to the 9900K and motherboard...

Yep! I’ve asked him one at 19V!

BTW, next week Inwill have a 600/700w PSU custom made by Gunique for this build!, so will be ok I guess!

Quick update:

Tried the FurMark keeping GPUz on, and the GPU consumes 285W MAX.
Under Time spy, ONLY the CPU is consuming 170/180W max
Then, I have issues with the Dynamo Combo I guess!???

Last update before holiday:

swapped the Dynamo Combo for the HDPlex 400W. The System goes down as well, but like 15 seconds later?

SO, the 2070 is back on the dAN, waiting for GUnique custom PSU.

Meanwhile, the TItan RTX will rest.
