Log DAN Case A4 SFX + HDPlex AC-DC + HiFi DC-ATX

[tasen]

Someone once said:
"The AC-DC will not fit inside. "

Ok, hold my beer ?


Very tight but it fits. I know it's not really screwed on, just squeezed in
Sorry for the cable mess but I wanted to know if it still runs so I fired it up for a test run

Build:
- A4-SFX V4
- Inno3D RTX2070 with Noctua fans
- ASUS ROG Strix B450-I Gaming
- Ryzen 5 3600
- Enermax 120mm AIO (without top cover)
- HDPlex 400W Hi-Fi DC-ATX + 400W AC-DC

This is some great stuff. I'm planning on doing the same thing. Only I don't want the hdplex combo to block all of my 120mm fan/aio. Will the HDPlex 400W Hi-Fi DC-ATX fit below the gpu without the bottom fan?

Thanks all!

I don't know if it fits below the gpu. It looks the default cables are to short for this installation.

I'm struggling with the AIO tubes at the moment. Looks like my setup is very optimistic and super tight, maybe too tight for one tube:

Tried to get the AC-DC unit under the part of the case to get a few inches/millimeters more space for the tube, but it's still super tight.

Would I recommend this setup?
No. The price you have to pay is very high. Had to remove one of the feets of the case to fit the AC-DC unit as on the picture above. Also the case does not close with the DEMCiflex filter installed on the gpu side. Had to remove the filter
And as wrote already it's very, very tight, not really screwed on, just squizzed in.

I have id-coolings gpu aio in my system. I think I might just let that larger unit live outside of the case.

How hot is your hdplex units? The one with the fan was getting super hot so I opened it up and propped a 92mm fan on it.

Just curious. My new HD PLEX smelled like chemicals when I opened the box. After the install, when the system was running, the HD PLEX unit was giving off some super strong fumes. Has this happened to you at all? Just concerned for my health. Thank you.

Hmmmm, I don't know exactly, but the case is a bit hot even with the fan.

No smell or fume here.
Did you ask the hdplex support about this?

Hey, thanks for responding! Hmm, okay I guess I should contact HDPlex support. Btw, mine gets pretty hot with the fan as well. I guess that must be normal? I hope!
