DAN C4-SFX

[irememberflick]

[...]like the Noctua C14S. For these configurations it is possible to mount the power supply 90° rotated.

- From the introduction page

Just to be sure, you don't mean "required" to mount the power supply 90° to fit the C14S, right?

C4-SFX Power Week - Update​

Here are the first changes and some nsights in the thermal concept:

Hi @dondan - a quick question (picking up 280mm radiators).

When using the 30x0 air duct, what is the maximum radiator and fan combo before it clashes with the air duct itself? I have marked up 1 of your CADs below to specify what I mean (red arrow and box).

(I'm sure 240s should be okay with even more clearance as they sit lower on the rad bracket and further away from the air duct)

Would an LF II 280 (thicker radiator than normal) in that scenario fit with the 30x0 FE airduct installed for example?

If you go ghetto mode and deshroud the GPU, would you be able to screw the fans to the case somewhere or you would just have to use zip ties for that?

Since LianLi closed the factory in Taiwan and moved all the machines to the factory in China (including NCT that is used for C4) - sand blasted is now possible without that big price impact. But for the C4 i plan to use glass blasted.

@dondan, if you can share, where are you in the development process now and how does your schedule look through this calendar year?

 

[dondan]

• Make a Prototype
• Create the manual
• CE & RoHs Testing

This basically means that there will be no finished product in 2022.

is you matx case on hold until the release of the c4? so most likely will be seeing the matx case next year?

 

[dondan]

The matx case will be sold under LianLis brand and is a different case class. 13L vs 20L. No information on release so far

 

[SH04YB]

@dondan oh cool. nice to hear. can we at least know at what stage of production the matx case is at!

 

[dondan]

You will get more information on LianLi Expo 30th June 2022 and a dedicated thread.

This basically means that there will be no finished product in 2022.

@dondan Do you agree with this assessment? Should we not expect anything on this Case until 2023? Was waiting for it to come out before building but might go with something else in the meantime.

13.37L @dondan cant believe nobody has caught this. was it happenstance or intended?

 

[dondan]

241 x 166 x 334 = 13.36L so I added 0.2mm to the length

 

[wywywywy]

The GPU Zone is ~ 65mm so you have following options:

- 2 Slot cards add 120/140mm standard fans on top
- 2.5 Slot cards add 120/140mm slim fans on top
- 2.75 Slot cards there is not enough room to install fans on top so keep the card as it is ore desroud it and use your own fans.
- 3 Slot cards there is not enough room to install fans on top so keep the card as it is ore desroud it and use your own fans.

Is a 1 or 1.5 slot waterblock + XSPC thin rad + slim fans possible, like some of us do with custom looped Ncase M1?

 

[SH04YB]

will the msi meg coreliquid 280mm aio fit in this case? it has a large display on top of the block

 

[dondan]

Yes it does fit

 

[proficide]

are you at least targeting later this year for release Dan?

This basically means that there will be no finished product in 2022.

Well, as long as the product page say 2022., there is no reason to think it wont be in 2022.
