DAN A4-SFX v4.1

[archagon]

Hmm, OK. Well, I placed an order on overclockers.co.uk to the US, let's see what happens. (Strangely, even though the case is out of stock, I can still buy it, and it becomes £166.66 in my cart and not the listed £199. EDIT: I guess they don't charge 20% VAT when the order comes from abroad.)

@archagon It's highish in the nzxt h1. it's hot, noisy and a bit throttly -

 

[archagon]

Yeah, I saw that one — but from what I understand, that case just has a wall behind the rear 3080 fan, right? (Unlike the Dan.)

DAN A4 still have the PSU there, just don't think that rotating it would do any good,
it still needs a lot more fan pressure for that to work! #phisics_is_a_bitch

There's also (perhaps) the option of installing an exhaust fan below the PSU — for example, in place of that drive mount. (For those of us with just an M.2.)

Everyone should install the exhaust bellow the Motherboard regardless of the GPU, especially people like me who have the Asetek 645 AiO

Both exhausts are blocked off in H1....into the table and into the psu. Should be a little better in A4 cause you have back exhaust at least

Here are the measurements for the XC3 (in retarded units)
Please convert for urself

 

[archagon]

Is that your own photo? If so, could we please get temps in the A4-SFX? ? (Plus confirmation that the backplate does not impede any of the cables.)

Sorry, not mine

 

[rfarmer]

Yay! Any updates on W360M?

Also, does anyone, anywhere have temp measurements for a Founders or XC3 in a sandwich case yet? Would have expected some by now...

Not compareable this case has also a solid wall behind the GPU.

Hey guys, I'm sorry if this isn't the proper place for a post like this (I'm new to SFF PCs) but I was wondering about the policy regarding replacement pieces for used cases. I bought a used A4 v3 on Ebay, and while I do love how it looks and the build quality, many/most of the screws are missing along with the cover bracket for the small hole above the GPU's output at the rear. I was not able to get an original invoice or owner's manual from the previous owner.

Is there any way for 2nd owners to purchase replacement components, and maybe a list I can reference to see if any other parts are missing that I may not know about?

 

[PaperMoonShine]

couldn the rear fan be modded/swapped for a normal pwm fan through the fins and out the case?

Looks like FE hits 82C/1900mhz with all panels on in the ghost s1...a4 should be around the same or a little cooler. Also the psu rotation thing is still untested

W360M is sold out very quick again.

I sure hope to see a good amount of A4 build logs in the near future.

EVGA RTX 3080 XC3 Ultra in DAN Case A4

​

Good news: It fits.

Bad news. It doesn't fit (with backplate). The fans hit the side panel.

Whoops. Bad embed
