Looks like some of us will be waiting until 2022 for new GPUs by the way the lack of supply is going....
My 2080Ti should has plenty enough in the tank by then haha

Here are some first pictures. I will show more tomorrow.

Running RTX 3080 with 280 AIO pull in (900rpm) in classic mode with two bottom fans pull in: 71°C on GPU and 78°C on CPU running Chinebench R20 infinty loop + Valley Bench 4k mode. (99% CPU Load, 99% GPU load). The result is similar with an 240AIO running at 2000rpm vs 900rpm 280 AIO 😍





Look forward to the pictures with classic layout. Imagine cramming my current build from signature into the C4 - Perfecto!

With the Meshlicious being delayed by almost 2 months, the C4-SFX has a chance to make a bigger splash - excited to learn more, especially after seeing these.
But C4 is not for another 6 months or so hahaha

Dan, I hate you. I was hoping my T1 was gonna last me a few more years, but you are making that really hard lmao

In all seriousness, loving the progress! Might finally do my first custom loop when this case comes out if I get my hands on it
One of us, one of us, one of us!!!

How long were you loading the system for those temps...?
2000rpm 240 AIO versus 900rpm 280 AIO, crazy...!

Can't wait for this. It looks amazing. How much space is between the power supply and the top of the 3090?

@dondan these pictures are lovely! can you take pictures of the case upright in classic mode with the radiator bracket extended out / placed on the table so we can see the internals as well?

yea, that's true :S. Maybe we can just flip the DAN c4 so it has the same footprint as the meshi XD

Maybe i should dev. a special stand for this usecase.

Just a quick idea if you'd use the bottom to stand it up - you could use the gap on the top to make snappable inserts and then just use the screw holes for the rear foot (it would be an L bracket then). Obviously the feet would need to be higher to make the cables fit.

Maybe I'll try that with a 3d printer if you don't find the time or don't want to do anything (which is totally understandable).

@dondan thanks for sharing. As discussed on Reddit, I’m really interested in C4 especially if it can handle RTX 3090 FE on both core and gddr6x temperature..;)
As far as understood, RTX 3090 FE fits only in sandwich style...I’m really curious about temps..:)

Hope next version have more selection for accessory, like base support or magnetic dust filter as luxury set. It will be nice to hide the on/off, like abee rs07 did.

Interesting that side fan exhausting the hot air coming from the "passthrough" part of the GPU. On a traditional cooling GPU solution I assume the fan would be better as intake to cool the RAM zone and provide all possible fresh air to the cpu cooler to work with?.
